Englewood says utility billing issues have been fixed

New system will make it easier for people to pay utility bills

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The City of Englewood says it has resolved problems with its new utility billing system after a delay in issuing utility bills to Englewood residents due to software issues this summer.

Sarah Stone, deputy director of business solutions, said there have been many challenges with the implementation of the new system, which is replacing the city’s previous system that was more than 20 years old.

“While implementation of new software systems are typically challenging, there have been some unanticipated issues while trying to send out the initial bills from our new system,” Stone said.

In addition to the delay of bills in August, there were issues when the system first launched at the beginning of the month, which resulted in high calls from customers who had difficulty accessing the new system to pay their July bills.

“These issues largely related to data migration that required manual cleanup, and system bugs that required fixes post implementation,” Stone said. “As an example, there was a system bug that was identified

where the bill template did not generate the printed bill as designed.”

The city bills about 11,000 people in Englewood a month for water, sewer, stormwater and concrete services; and bills 35,000 people outside of the city for sewer treatment services.

Stone said that typically, people receive their bills the first, seventh and 14th of every month, but due to the software issues with the new system after it went live, the bills were delayed.

“Utilities billing staff have been coordinating daily with the software vendor since the launch of the new system to address issues and ensure there is no further delay in sending out utility bills,” Stone said.

Stone said these issues should not be a problem going forward and that customers can make online payments and access the online customer portal using their new account number on their August bills.

Stone added that some people may have due dates of Aug. 31.

“Customers can disregard this due date, and pay at their convenience in September,” Stone said.

She said the city has suspended late fees and shutoffs for non-payment through October to provide customers with more time to make payments due to the delay in receiving their bills.

With the Market Shifting in Buyers’ Favor, Selecting the Right Listing Agent Is Key

Last week, I wrote about what skills and knowledge you should expect your real estate agent to possess. This week, with the shift from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market, I want to write about the importance of selecting the right listing agent.

You’ll probably want to know their level of experience, competence and success in selling homes similar to your own, hopefully within your city or neighborhood.

agents to list their homes? Many, I suspect are friends and family every agent’s biggest “competitor.”

Like you, I monitor the real estate activity where I live. The best way to do that is to ask an MLS member like my broker associates or me to set up a “neighborhood alert,” whereby you receive an automated email from the MLS whenever a home in your area is either coming soon, newly active, price reduced, newly under contract, newly sold, or even newly withdrawn or expired without selling. Send an email to info@GoldenRealEstate.com and I’ll make sure the most appropriate broker associate (or me) responds to set up an alert like that for you.

In my own neighborhood, I’m always astonished how many homes are listed by agents I’ve never heard of. As I write, there are 36 active or coming soon listings within 2 miles of my home, represented by 33 different agents from 27 different brokerages! No agent has more than two listings. And despite practicing real estate here for 22 years, I only recognize the names of 10 of them.

This is typical of every city. Where did the sellers find all those different

In some cases, the seller had already gone under contract for their replacement home elsewhere and was convinced by the listing agent of that home to list their current home. If that agent is on the other side of the metro area, that is not the best decision, because that agent will be unfamiliar with your neighborhood, lives far away, and is unable to show the home on short notice, answer questions from buyers, or keep your brochure box well stocked.

Every homeowner, it seems, gets letters or finds a note taped to their door from a broker claiming to have a buyer for their home. That tactic may earn him or her an interview in your home, but I’d bet dollars to donuts that the broker then says, “That buyer found another home, but I’m sure I can find you another buyer if you list with me. Sign here.”

Let’s say, however, that you want to interview listing agents and make a rational hiring decision. Good idea! Let me suggest some questions you might want to ask, some of which might not be obvious or that you know you could ask.

First, however, you need to choose the agents to interview. I suggest basing your search on their location and experience in your neighborhood or city. Second, study their active/sold listings to see (1) their geographic distribution and (2) how well their listings are presented on the MLS.

Since this column is printed in 24

weekly newspapers around the metro area, my broker associates and I may not be the best choice based on that first question, but, with my access to the MLS, I can identify the best candidates to interview. Full disclosure: that costs you nothing, but I will get a referral fee if you choose an agent I recommend.

You can also do this on your own by visiting www.Nestfully.com, the consumer-facing website of Denver’s MLS, where you can search for active listings in your area. Click on one or more of them to see how well the listing agent described the home on the MLS. Did they list all the rooms, not just bedrooms and bathrooms, and did they provide dimensions and descriptions of each, or just enter the mandatory fields?

Always keep in mind that the best indicator of how a listing agent will serve you is how they have served previous sellers.

Looking at those listings will answer the most important questions which you’d ask in person, but you won’t have to take their word the truth is there in front of you. You’ll learn, for example, whether they did point-and-shoot pictures or had a professional photographer shoot magazine quality photographs, and whether they created a narrated video tour or just a slide show with music.

Having chosen who to interview that way, ask these questions of those you invite into your home for an interview:

mission same net effect, just reworked to comply with the NAR Settlement prohibiting shared listing commissions.

See whether the agent volunteers that they reduce their commission when the seller doesn’t have to pay the offered compensation to a buyer’s agent. That’s standard with my broker associates and me. If you have to ask for that provision, consider it a red flag. They hoped you wouldn’t ask.

Ask the agent whether he or she will discount their commission if you hire them to represent you in the purchase of your replacement home. That, too, is standard with my broker associates and me.

Hopefully the brokers you interview will have researched the market and will make a well-supported recommendation of listing price. Beware of agents who inflate their suggested listing price so you will list with them.

When setting the appointment, ask the agent to bring a spreadsheet of their sold listings with dates, days on market, listing price and sold price. They can produce that spreadsheet quickly on the MLS. (If they don’t know how, that’s a big red flag!) Here’s an example (mine):

What an ideal location for your new home! This oasis at 24051 Parkwood Lane sits on 2.29 acres at the end of the road, adjacent to farmland, with great views of the San Juan Mountains and the Grand Mesa and it is just minutes from downtown Cedaredge. The 2,352-sq.-ft. home with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, an additional den/office, attached 2-car garage and beautiful wrap-around deck is just the beginning! Outbuildings include a 60’x24’ metal equipment and RV storage building, a 20’x10’ workshop with 120 and 220 volt electric, a 16’x10’ storage shed, a 24’x17’ tractor barn, a chicken coop, and a fenced backyard for your pets. This home was strategically designed to take advantage of passive solar with floor to ceiling windows across the south wall of the living/dining area. A truly amazing place! Come take a look for yourself. If you are new to Cedaredge, it is a very welcoming community with lots to do. Check out Pioneer Town, the Grand Mesa Arts & Events Center and the Grand Mesa itself, just 10-20 minutes up the road for outdoor recreationatitsbest.TheGunnisonRiverisjust15minutesdowntheroadforfishing and boating.

What commission percentage do you charge? Keep in mind, there is no standard commission. It’s totally negotiable, and the industry average is in the mid -5’s, not 6%. It used to be that that commission included the co-op commission paid to a buyer’s broker. As I explained in a previous column (which you can read at JimSmithColumns.com), that has been reworked so that the seller offers whatever buyer agent compensation he or she wants, and that amount, if paid, is deducted from the listing com-

New distance of Runyon Elementary school zone receives backlash from parents

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Drivers on South Elati Street may notice that a ashing street sign has moved to a new location.

e school zone sign is 950 feet closer to Runyon Elementary School, a city decision that has sparked a backlash from parents who worry for their children’s safety.

“Kids use this street,” local parent Josh Stewart said in a video on Facebook. “Why would you shrink the safety zone?”

His video received dozens of likes and sparked at least a dozen more comments, including from two members of the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education.

“I saw them taking it down yesterday and was shocked when I saw where they moved it to this morning,” board member Lindley McCrary wrote.

e city defended its decision in its own Facebook post, saying the change is in line with plans to bring “school zone distances and signage into alignment with national safety standards.” But, the city’s transportation engineering manager also said further changes will be paused, acknowledging the need for better communication with residents and

to move the school zone sign has left him voicing confusion and anger.

“You can’t spin it any way to make it seem safe,” he said. “ e speed limit is now higher leading up to the school.”

e sign was moved more than the length of two and a half football elds closer to the school. at means cars can travel longer at the posted speed limit of 25 mph until they reach the school zone.

In the school zone, the speed limit goes down to 20 mph when the lights are ashing, typically on weekday mornings and afternoons as children arrive and leave classes. Fines for speeding are doubled in the area when the lights are ashing.

planning and civil engineering rm called Y2K Engineering.

After studying the Manual on Uniform Tra c Control Devices, a collection of standards from the Federal Highway Administration, the engineers recommended placing ashing lights designating school zones 150 to 200 feet away from either the boundary of the school or key crossings.

“In the case of Runyon, they have a pedestrian signal with a marked crosswalk right in front of their school,” Huemann said. “ at’s a key point where kids are going to be crossing.”

elected leaders. e context for all of these reactions is a recent tragedy that has gripped the city — from the mayor to parents — for months, all of them concerned about the safety of people who walk and bike around Littleton.

In October, Stewart’s son Liam was killed when a car struck him as he rode his bike to school on South Elati Street. Now, as Stewart pushes for safer streets in the name of children like his son, the city’s decision

Speci cally, the sign used to sit about 1,100 feet north of the Runyon Elementary School property line. It now sits about 150 feet north of it said Aaron Huemann, the city’s transportation engineering manager. A crosswalk, which many students use to get to the school, is 200 feet south of the sign’s new location. e sign’s relocation is the rst step of planned changes from a school zone evaluation the city kicked o in April in response to community calls for safer streets, Huemann said. As part of the evaluation, the city is working with a transportation

Huemann said placing school zone signs further away from where children cross the street can reduce safety. He cited a section of the manual that says, “Warning signs should not be placed too far in advance of the condition, such that drivers might tend to forget the warning because of other driving distractions.”

In the case of Runyon, Huemann said drivers might slow down 1,100 feet from the school and then not realize, or even forget, that they are still in a school zone once they get closer to the crosswalk. Drivers entering from side streets could miss the ashing lights under the old

plan, he said.

“We really want to condense that area where it’s most critical and where you’re going to have the majority of kids biking and walking and crossing the street, to make sure people are very aware of the situations around the school,” he said.

Stewart said it could make sense to place the ashing lights close to the school to alert drivers, but he thinks the speed limit should be 20 mph along the whole stretch of Elati Street leading up to the school, as it has long been.

Students use the road to get to Runyon Elementary School, Euclid Middle School and Heritage High

School, which are all nearby, he said.

“Elati — from 7:30 to 8:30 every morning and three to 3:30 in the afternoons — is a kid highway,” he said. “And it’s super dangerous … ere’s no universe where I’m like, ‘Oh, it’s de nitely safer to let people just speed through this section and then remind them at the bottom.’”

He said the city is “not looking at the situation as somebody that lives here.”

“I think they’re looking at the situation as an engineer or just on paper, and it doesn’t make any sense,” he added. “Any parent that comes here knows how dangerous this corridor is.”

Huemann said the city is preparing for a speci c corridor study of Elati Street, which will involve evaluating speed limits along the entire

road. He said this study will start later this year.

Beyond this sign relocation, Huemann said many other changes are planned around the school and around other schools.

One upcoming change at Runyon includes signs on side streets to alert drivers they are entering a school zone, he said. Another is to add a warning sign in advance of the ashing signal.

He said a school zone sign south of Runyon might also be moved to a location that aims to better protect students crossing the street at the Lee Gulch trail, which is a key crossing.

He said the city wants to make im-

provements meant to make streets safer as fast as possible, but noted the community confusion and frustration over the change at Runyon. Huemann said his team should have communicated better with the community.

“We were just trying to move as quickly as possible to invoke these safer ways of doing things as quickly as possible,” he said.

Huemann said his team is pausing school zone improvements to create a better plan for communicating with residents and leaders and will resume projects after presenting recommendations for school zone changes to the city council midSeptember.

Mutiny Information Cafe is moving to Englewood — but will remain on Broadway

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After 11 years of delighting Denver with its eclectic mix of used books, rich coffee, vibrant comics, beloved records and creative events, Mutiny Information Cafe is moving “four miles up the street” to Englewood.

The cherished haven for creative minds and curious souls will be open in Denver for its last day on Sept. 22. It will then relocate further south on Broadway, where its blend of atmosphere and artistry will find a new home among various local businesses. The new space at 3483 S. Broadway formerly housed Sweet Caroline Confections.

Described as “a space for unique individuals to gather and create safely,” Mutiny is excited to bring “comics, art, words and music” to its new location, said co-owner Jim Norris. There will be a soft opening for the new location on Sept. 25 and a grand opening on Oct. 4.  “We are really looking forward to being a part of such a beautiful and historical part of Englewood,” Norris said. “It already feels great to be part of a genuine and friendly small business community. We feel so welcomed by everyone — especially the local government.”

Mayor Othoniel Sierra said the city is thrilled to welcome Mutiny to Englewood.

“Their move reflects the vibrant and growing community we have here, and we’re excited to see them bring their unique blend of culture, creativity and community spirit to South Broadway,” Sierra said. “It’s an honor to be part of their next chapter, and we’re committed to supporting them as they settle into their new home.”

Co-owner Matt Megyesi, Norris’ business partner, said Mutiny has been a bookstore since the 1980s, then over the years, different elements such as a coffee bar were added.

After years of walking by the store at Broadway and Ellsworth Avenue and talking with the previous owner, the duo decided to purchase Mutiny for themselves in 2013.

“We bought it one day, turned the key, and the next day, we were selling books,” Megyesi said.

Megyesi explained they decided to relocate Mutiny due to the expiration of their lease and an increase in rent.

“Jim and I had gone down to Englewood a couple of times, but I had gone down there one day and heard of a place called Fellow Traveler,” Megyesi said.

Fellow Traveler is a vegan restaurant located at 3487 S. Broadway.

After talking with the owner of Fellow Traveler, Megyesi discovered there was a space available next door.

“Went in there and immediately fell in love with the place,” Megyesi said. “It had all the things we’re missing here: air conditioning, heating, good lighting, brand-new hardwood floors.”

Once he discovered the price was right, Megyesi and Norris decided to move into the space and felt like it was a good fit.

“We feel that Englewood has been very warm in the reception for us,” Megyesi said.

The duo introduced themselves to the Englewood community at the annual Block Party on Aug. 24, and Megyesi said many people came by and expressed their excitement for Mutiny’s arrival.

At the new location, Norris said Mutiny will be more focused on comics, coffee and community rather than used books.

“We are not going to carry most used books,” Norris said. “There is a great used bookstore only a couple doors down. We are also going to continue hosting events like Punketry-poets with a band, chess clubs, magician open mics, comedy open mics, our monthly

Cypher and small local bands.”

Despite some changes to the aesthetic and the layout of the store, Megyesi said Mutiny will still maintain its “punk rock vibe” and he doesn’t see it changing too much.

Norris and Megyesi said there have been mixed responses from people in the Denver community who frequent their shop.

“They’re sad about that but they understand we need to move ... Englewood, especially downtown Englewood, is just up the street,” Megyesi said. “It’s only four miles away.”

Norris added that many people seem happy for the upcoming benefits the new space will bring to Mutiny.

“Most everyone we’ve talked to are very excited for our move,” Norris said. “Free parking, lower sales tax and a safer place to bring your family are all reasons.”

Going forward, Norris and Megyesi are hopeful the new location will be successful and that they will be happy.

“We get to be around the greatest people and we get to raise our families with them. We are truly lucky,” Norris said.

Farm brings quality vegetables to appreciative customers

BY COURTNEY BAKOS

SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Grace and Willy Kelley, along with Grace’s parents, Joy and Allan Morton, who proudly co-own and operate the thriving local Further Up Farms in Elizabeth, are making a tremendous impact on the local community.

After starting with a small garden and selling produce at the Backyard Market in Black Forest, Further Up Farms is expanding operations to further serve residents. “We’re only in our third season of planning, but our growth has been tremendous,” said Grace.

e Kelleys have introduced a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program, providing fresh, pesticide-free vegetables to families across Elbert County. “It’s basically a veggie subscription,” explained Grace. “Folks prepay for it and come pick up their weekly share of veggies.

is year we have pickup locations at Black Forest and at the farm in Elizabeth.”

is success story is built on hard work and dedication. While farming is a full-time job in itself, most of the farm’s workers also juggle other jobs, making their farming a true labor of love.

Willy Kelley with Allan Morton spend their days tending to the crops, managing the farm’s aquaponics system, and ensuring everything operates smoothly. eir hands-on approach contributes signi cantly to the farm’s success.

Meanwhile, Joy serves as the farm’s chief nancial o cer, expertly managing the business’s nances and ensuring long-term stability.

“Fridays are our busiest days,” Grace explained. “ e whole family comes together to harvest, wash, and pack vegetables for the market and the CSA pickups.”

e farm’s mission is to provide the

community with the highest quality produce. “It’s incredibly ful lling to know that we are feeding hundreds of people each week with nutritious vegetables,” said Grace.

“Many parts of Elbert County are food deserts,” Grace explains, “which means there is limited access to fresh, healthy food. We want to change that by providing local families with fresh, sustainably grown vegetables.”

Further Up Farms’ participation in food assistance programs like SNAP and WIC also allows them to help those struggling to a ord fresh food.

However, the challenges still exist. “We always feel behind,” Grace admittted, “no matter how many hours we put in. Especially when it comes to weeding. And the ground squirrels have become a huge issue that year, damaging a lot of our crops.”

e Kelleys have found what really makes the Elizabeth community special is its strong sense of con-

nection and support. “People here talk — when they nd something they love, they tell everyone!” Grace shared. Word of mouth has been a powerful force, bringing in many new customers through the enthusiastic recommendations of patrons. e community’s deep appreciation for local products is evident. What touches Grace the most is the way their customers have become more than just clients; they’ve become friends. Many of their Elizabeth CSA members regularly volunteer their time to help with harvesting, washing, packing and weeding, a testament to the close-knit supportive community. “We couldn’t be more grateful,” said Grace, re ecting on the relationships they’ve built. Looking toward the future, the Kelleys plan to build a mobile farm stand to reach even more customers. For more information about their operations, visit furtherupfarms. com.

Englewood’s Overkill Thrift & Consign owner o ers a bit of everything

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At her newly purple-painted shop Overkill rift & Consign, named for both her personal style of “too many accessories” and her mother’s decorating, 26-year-old Megan Hartberger seeks to provide curated, unique fashions at reasonable prices.

Hartberger maintains a punk rock style herself, but strives

to have a bit of everything for vintage seekers who cross the threshold of her store.

“No matter what your style is, I want you to be able to come in and nd anything,” Hartberger said. “So, you know, Goth, grunge, grandma, gearhead. We’ve got it all.”  Hartberger said Overkill is partially a thrift store because it has various items under $5, including $2 bins, and much of those pieces are actually from

her own personal collection.

“We (also) have consign, which means you can come in and sell your clothes with us,” she said. “ ose are going to be our slightly higher-priced items, but I still like to have a good deal.”

It has been a challenge for Hartberger to nd a fair balance between reasonablypriced items for customers and those who sell their clothes at her shop.

“We’re working through it,” she said. “I really just love a good deal and I think everyone should be able to feel fabulous without breaking the bank.”

Originally from the East Coast, Hartberger has wanted to start her own thrift store for a while, and said she was fortunate enough to nd her current location at 3041 S. Broadway.

OVERKILL

“I started looking at local places to either rent out a space or buy an existing shop, and this one came up. And I met Miss Judy, who was the old owner, and she was fabulous,” Hartberger said.

Overkill used to be Inner Me, and Hartberger said it had a strong customer base that she has maintained since taking over the space in May.

“I wanted to make something for myself to put my name on and this place worked out,” she said. “It’s a great location, the landlord is really awesome, and there were just a bunch of great ways to get started.”

Hartberger said after deciding to take over the store and turn it into Overkill, everything fell into place as she already had a lot of inventory, customers and consignors.

“It was a blessing and I am super excited to be here,” Hartberger said.

Hartberger said the community has responded positively to the store’s makeover and new inventory.

“I think a lot of the old consignors have come back and a lot of the old customers keep coming back,” Hartberger said. “ ey say that they like the new name and the new color because they can remember it, and I think it just needed a little bit of a face lift (to make) the building a little more interesting to look at.”

While she loves having her own thrift store, Hartberger has found it challenging to learn the ropes of owning a business.

“I am super grateful for the community that was already here when I took over because they’ve been really helpful and wonderful, but the challenges have de nitely been paperwork … and it’s all so new to me,” Hartberger said.

e business owner is also juggling working a full time job as anancial analyst for a bank.

“I am still having fun and I would love to be able to make this my fulltime thing, but it’s going to take a while to get there,” Hartberger said.

For the fashion collector, one of the best elements of her new shop is chatting with the people who travel in and peruse her bins and racks.

“My favorite aspect is just looking at clothes all day, but I have loved getting to know people who have similar style to me or just really appreciate the pieces I’ve brought in and I get to talk about them,” she said.

Overkill is also a place where Hartberger encourages people to take the quirky or eclectic and make it their own.

“Put it on. If it looks good, keep it,” Harbereger said. “Let yourself be yourself.”

Going forward, Hartberger hopes to grow and be successful enough to keep the doors open.

Colorado to boost the cash-for-clunkers program

The program helps income-qualified buyers purchase a new

EV

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado is boosting its popular cash-for-clunkers EV buying support by nearly 60% with a $9 million fund for 2024-25, after retiring more old, dirtier cars than expected o the road during the rst year.  e state exhausted $5.7 million for the rst year of the fund, which

helps income-quali ed buyers with an extra $6,000 rebate at the cash register if they turn in an older car when buying a new EV. Turning in an old car and buying a used EV can bring an exchange rebate of up to $4,000.

Stacked with other federal, state and utility EV rebates, the extra state boost can cut the cost of some EVs by far more than half.

Formally dubbed Vehicle Exchange Colorado, or VXC, the program pulled 879 old or emissionsfailing vehicles from highways in the year beginning Aug. 31, 2023, state o cials said in a release.

“Expanding the use of electric ve-

hicles is an important part of our work to improve air quality and achieve our climate goals, and we look forward to seeing this funding support more Coloradans,” Gov. Jared Polis said in the release.

“ e way Coloradans have embraced this program shows the momentum the EV market is having in Colorado, and we’re extremely excited to continue building on its success with additional funding,” said Colorado Energy O ce Executive Director Will Toor.  e program issued a total of 1,301 rebates from old car exchanges in the rst year, and consumers redeemed 68% of those vouchers. at

was more than six times the number of rebates the Colorado Energy Ofce expected to provide, state ofcials said. e second shot of $9 million is for the scal year starting July 1, 2024, running through June 30, 2025.

e total two-year funding of $14.7 million has come through the Community Access Enterprise. It is overseen by the energy o ce, and paid for through a retail delivery fee that began in 2022.

Power of a di erent kind of fantasy

Ah, the start of another Fantasy Football season is upon us, and there’s a buzz in the air!

It’s that magical time when we, the managers of our own imaginary franchises, gather to draft the ultimate allstar teams. We pore over stats, analyze player projections, and argue the merits of sleeper picks. It’s all part of the thrill of building our dream lineup, lled with the most pro cient players at each position. And with a little bit of luck and a favorable draft order, we might even snag some of our favorite players from our favorite teams.

Points are awarded whenever they lift someone up, provide a helping hand, or spread joy.

Simple acts, like giving hope to someone feeling lost, o ering a listening ear to a friend, or showing unconditional love and forgiveness, would score big in this league.

e joy of Fantasy Football lies in the game’s simplicity and connection to the action on the eld. Players earn points in so many ways: rushing and receiving yardage, touchdowns, eld goals, extra points, interceptions and more. We tally up our points each week and compare them against other teams in our league. It’s pure, exhilarating math: e team with the most points wins. But what if we could take that same excitement and apply it to something beyond football? What if we created a di erent kind of “Fantasy” league?

Imagine a league where we each choose 12 people, not based on athletic prowess, but on how they contribute to making the world better. ese all-stars earn

Like in Fantasy Football, we would track these points throughout the season. We could celebrate those who drop o food for a needy family, pick up litter from the sidewalk without hesitation, or smile at a stranger. ese are the game-changers of life, the people who make our communities better and our world brighter. e beauty of this “Better than Good Life Fantasy League” is that it would remind us of the real champions among us, the everyday heroes who often go unnoticed but whose actions make a profound impact.

This could be a pivotal month for our economy. Will the rst interest rate cut since the COVID-19 pandemic be announced this month?¹ Turning to October, what will third-quarter earnings look like? What about projections for the last quarter of the year? Whatever happens in the next few weeks may paint the picture for the history books for all of 2024.

Investors may be wondering how to navigate all the economic news that is likely to ood our eyes and ears in the coming months. Oh, and don’t forget, there is also an election.

We may have forgotten that many thought the rst interest rate increase in March 2022 after

the pandemic would throw the economy into recession.

Remember that the 10 rate hikes that followed were designed to curb in ation, much of which was caused by clogged supply chains and other shortages that sent prices up.

Headlines over the last two and a half years have often been about a “soft landing.” In other words, could the Federal Reserve pull o interest rate hikes without dampening economic growth to the point of recession? Well, so far we

have made it all the way through the interest rate hiking cycle with no recession. Now Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is talking about beginning to lower interest rates now that in ation is under control. He may also see indications that the housing market and the job market have cooled o a bit. I caution investors to be prepared for stock market volatility when rates do start to go back down, even though we should think that would fuel the economy in a positive way. e reverse psychology that often plagues the stock market could be based on the theory that if we need to cut rates, the economy must be worse o than we think.

Colorado Community Media’s newsroom has already used the results of the Voter Voices surveys we have received so far.

In recent months, we asked readers to take surveys asking what they think candidates for political o ces should focus on as they compete for their votes. e top answer from Colorado Community Media readers across the metro area sounded like something from a civics class: “democracy and good government.”

Our readers said they want the candidates to focus on solutions, even if it means compromises.

As Lisa Anne Bresko, a self-described moderate and business owner from Evergreen, told us, democracy and good government are foundational if our leaders are going to solve the many pressing problems facing our communities.

“I feel there’s very little respect and no more compromise,” Bresko said. “It’s ‘My way or no way’ on a lot of topics. at’s not the way to run a country or get anything done. I feel all of the name calling, the pointing of ngers, the disin-

formation about the people you’re supposed to be working with toward common goals is hurting the ability to get things done.”

More than 400 (and counting) Colorado Community Media readers have lled out our Voter Voices surveys using links in our newsletters and stories or QR codes from newspapers and yers. Our reporters and editors have been using the results to help form the questions we ask politicians in the two dozen Denver-area cities, towns and suburbs we cover. We are partnering with 60 newsrooms across the state in this endeavor. Overall, there are some 6,000 responses.

In the surveys, voters are asked to rank their top three issues among 13 categories, revealing their importance. e surveys also allow voters to elaborate in their own words on what they think candidates should focus on.

Additionally, our Colorado Community Media reporters reached out di-

rectly to many survey respondents of all political persuasions to speak to them about their surveys and more. We also went into the community to connect with younger voters, an underrepresented category in the data.

More than 37% of our readers who took the survey cited democracy and good government as their top issue. More moderates and liberals cited it as a top issue than conservatives, but the surveys revealed that it is an important issue regardless of political inclination. Readers’ other top issue was the economy and cost of living, which was cited more by conservatives as their No. 1 issue, yet readers across the political spectrum said it was a top issue.

Phillip McCart, a liberal from Littleton, told us that candidates should focus on ways to help people who are struggling. One way candidates can do that, McCart said, is to work to reduce housing costs by creating more housing density.

During the primaries, we incorporated readers’ concerns about democracy and good government and the economy into questions we asked Republican and Democratic candidates for Congress in our primary forums for Colorado’s 4th District. e forums were co-sponsored with the League of Women Voters Colorado and KUNC public radio.

We plan to do the same for more forums we’re co-sponsoring this fall.

And, our Question and Answer surveys of candidates, which are widely read in print and online ahead of the November elections, will include Voter Voices-inspired questions and themes.

We also got to speak directly to voters and our reporters were met with appreciation in their e orts. is is just the start. We intend to keep the conversations with you going and we’re looking for ways to localize our connections with survey respondents. Watch for that.

Readers also told us they appreciated the opportunity to elaborate on their views and see our journalists as advocates for getting their voices into the process, given our unique access to leaders and candidates.

We have more work to do in terms of outreach, especially when it comes to younger voters and another category underrepresented in our results – people of color. Watch this space for future stories about them as we consider Voter Voices a starting point.

A big next step for us will be to work with groups of survey respondents to create a Voter Voices Citizens Agenda for our newsroom that helps guide our every interaction with public o cials and candidates for political o ce.

BY THE COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA NEWSROOM

VOTER VOICES

“Housing costs are destroying the hopes and dreams of everyone,” McCart said. at view was echoed many times in the surveys we gathered. For instance, one moderate Je erson County voter – who wished to remain anonymous – wrote in her survey, “We have a severe lack of a ordable and workforce housing in the metro area, and it is not improving.”

Evergreen resident Norm Sherbert, a conservative on scal issues and moderate on others, told us that everyone, regardless of income, should be concerned that many people across the metro area are struggling.

“I think it a ects us all,” he said. “I see it in my utility bills, the price of gas, grocery bills — and it just keeps climbing.”

Sherbert worries that the Social Security system might not be intact for future generations and believes strong, bipartisan leadership is needed to tackle such problems. He is not impressed

by President Biden or the Democratic and Republican nominees for president, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

“I’m not a Trump fan, and I’m surely not a Biden or Harris fan,” Sherbert said. “It’s a shame we do not have the candidates out there that can really make something happen in the country. I hope we come back to the center and realize it’s not the candidates that are going to drive this country, it’s the issues and how they’re solved.”

Similar views were espoused around our coverage area, which spans from Fort Lupton, Brighton and Commerce City in the north to Je erson County in the west, Idaho Springs in the mountains, Arapahoe and Douglas counties in the south, and Parker and Elbert County in the east.

About half of the readers who responded to our survey consider themselves moderate. About a quarter identify as conservative and another quarter as liberal. About 60% of respondents are women and 40% are men.

Many readers told us that

partisanship has become a never-ending soap opera – with sides squaring o against each other leaving compromises, and the potential solutions to longstanding problems, in the dust. Many shared a feeling that the country has an urgent, almost desperate need for candidates who will talk about issues, especially divisive ones, calmly instead of attacking and dismissing each other.

e stakes, readers say, are just too high given a long list of concerns, from crime to climate change to in ation to immigration to national security. One of the most eye-opening insights from readers is their disdain for grandstanding by candidates, bitter attacks and empty promises.

Michael Wilson, a 65-yearold conservative in Je erson County, said he would like political candidates to talk about what they will do if they are elected.

“I don’t need to hear them try to run down their opponent,” Wilson said.

omas Gibbons, a moderate who lives in the High-

lands Ranch area, said property taxes, local crime and reducing gun violence are important to him, but the problems associated with them can’t be solved if elected leaders are not focused on good governance.

“Elected o cials must nd a way to work together in bipartisan cooperation,” said Gibbons.

Littleton resident Porter Lansing, who identi es as liberal, said he would like to see candidates address the wealth gap between the metro area’s richest and poorest residents, citing concerns about unemployment and in ation. Lansing, who is 70 and disabled, said he lives mainly on his Social Security income.

“Everything’s so expensive, and everything’s going up,” he said. “I don’t want politicians to forget people way down here just because we don’t have money to contribute to their campaigns.”

It’s not just Coloradans who feel the government must improve.

VOTER VOICES

Across the country, positive views of political and governmental institutions are at historic lows, according to the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. Many Americans say they are underwhelmed by candidates and 28% of Americans express unfavorable views of both the Democratic and Republican parties, the highest share in three decades of polling, with a comparable share adding that neither party represents their interests well.

In Voter Voices surveys, newsrooms across Colorado received strikingly similar ndings to ours, with good government and the economy coming out as top issues, closely mirroring the results of our readers. Other important issues cited by survey respondents included the environment, climate and natural resources, immigration and abortion. e vast majority of respondents identi ed as older than 45. at prompted Colorado Community Media to reach out to younger people directly. A reporter and our summer reporting intern used social media to promote the Voter Voices survey on Instagram, tweeting on X and even texting friends and colleagues for help reaching more voters in their 20s and 30s online and in person.

Many of the younger voters shared the same concerns as older voters, particularly regarding good government and the economy.

Ben Warzel, 25, of Littleton, was at

a Denver restaurant as he expressed frustration over how candidates attack each other.

“(Candidates) can have their little pageantry, but we know that they’re not really doing anything,” Warzel said. “It’s just becoming dangerous, the people that we’re having to choose between.”

Some young people spoke about the intersection that the high costs of college and wages play out in their lives.

“I would like to see candidates talk about pay wages, especially with degrees and the cost of college,” a 24-year-old Voter Voices respondent from Arapahoe County who wished to remain anonymous wrote. “I think the cost of college is becoming una ordable even for people who are more well o .”

“Cost of living has not gone down at all over the years,” a 24-year-old respondent to our survey wrote.

Joshua Glenn, 28, of Aurora, said he hopes candidates will focus on a raft of issues – from the economy to the safety of all Americans.

“I would like candidates to focus on climate issues, economic future, abuse of power and the environment,” Glenn said. “Social justice is very important to me as well. As an African-American, and a contributing member of society, I want to feel safe in all parts of the country.”

Kamara Maxie, 24 of Denver, said the cost of living and abortion are the most important issues she wants candidates to address this election. Maxie also said gun safety is an issue that candidates should address.

“I believe having legal guns is important for protection reasons, however, I don’t think we should have weapons of war,” Maxie said. ere were also familiar divisions among conservatives and liberals. For instance, many conservative readers, like Eric Tyrell, who lives in Douglas County, cited immigration and tax policy as important issues. He would like to see candidates close the southern border and cut government spending.

“Government is too big and is still getting bigger every year,” he said. Meanwhile, many liberals, like Kathy Mendt in Adams County, said abortion policy is important.

“Politicians need to keep their laws

o women’s bodies,” Mendt said. She also wants to see candidates who care about the environment.

“How willing are they to address climate change?” Mendt said.

Mary Wylie, an Arvada voter who identi es as a liberal, said climate change is a pressing problem.

“I think climate change is essentially the ballot, depending on who ends up winning the presidency and has control of the government,” Wylie said.

Many survey respondents have similar litmus tests for candidates. For instance, they want to know: Does a candidate support the overturning of Roe v. Wade? Does a candidate support U.S. funding for Israel? Does a candidate believe that Donald Trump won the 2020 election?

Our readers also listed a hodgepodge of local issues. ey included inadequate roads and cell phone “dead zones” in Je erson County, a desire to see more conversation around local control issues, the e ects crime has on businesses and how safe people feel in certain parts of the metro area, among other issues.

And, some said perceptions of communities as conservative or liberal doesn’t provide an accurate reection of reality.

“Douglas County is a red county, but it’s growing a little more blue, especially where I live in northern Highlands Ranch,” Alex Miller, a 60-year-old Highlands Ranch man who identi es as a liberal, told us.

“Based on the yard signs in the last election, my neighborhood had as many Biden signs as Trump signs. I think it’s a mistake to write o the county as lost to Republicans.”

Candidates can improve by focusing on the issues instead of attacking each other, many survey respondents said.

“ e negativity and the bashing, I think, is just very divisive and drives us further apart,” Wylie said.

Jane Dvorak, a moderate from Jefferson County who listed democracy and good government as top concerns, said, “ e lack of respect for di ering opinions/ideas is scary.”

“It’s time to take a hard look at how we talk to each other, make decisions and what is best for the whole, not

one person/group,” Dvorak wrote.

To voters like C. Michael Litzau, a 65-year-old moderate Adams County voter, the integrity and ethics of political candidates matters as much as their stance on issues.

“What has their experience been like working with groups during dicult circumstances, and how do they resolve con icts?” Litzau said. “A priority for my evaluation of candidates for elected o ce is their ability to act civilly, even in a time of disagreement.”

So, that means that while many young people don’t know it today, Frankie Valli and e Four Seasons had hits. And those hits mattered when they were being made and they still matter now. e stories behind songs like “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” and “Can’t Take My Eyes O of You,” are explored on Littleton Town Hall Arts Center’s stage by the musical “Jersey Boys.”

“I want to get audiences as close to the story as possible,” said director Matthew Dailey. “ e bene t of a space like Town Hall is you can put the audience right there in the booth with the musicians and make them part of this incredible rags to riches story.”

“Jersey Boys” runs at the theater, 2450 Main St., through Sunday, Oct. 6. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. ursday through Friday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

“It’s really a show about sound. It’s about four guys struggling to nd their sound and what they’re willing to sacri ce to hold onto the sound when nd it,” he said. “ e group we’ve put together is great and it’s an almost out-of-body experience to work on a show I’m so close to.”

While the songs that made Franki Valli and e Four Seasons superstars may be decades old, that doesn’t lessen the impact of their story, nor does it mean that “Jersey Boys” will only appeal to older audiences. e show has everything, from a history of pop music and dancing to great characters and elements of a mob story.

“Younger people know this music, even if they don’t know they know it,” Dailey said. “It’s a real experience that will give younger people an appreciation of a time gone by, and for older generations, it’s an opportunity to sit back and analyze the soundtrack of their life.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Kacey Musgraves at Fiddler’s Green ere’s a lot to love about Kacey Musgraves, beyond just her stunning discography. ere’s her sense of humor (check her social media for that), her willingness to go against the grain of country music and embrace diversity and the LGBTQ+ community, and her ability to add ourishes of other genres to country. Her latest album, this year’s’ “Deeper Well,” is lovely and searching, and blends all of the above into a wonderful listen.

In support of the record, Musgraves is coming to Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, 6350 Greenwood Plaza Blvd., at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 15. As a testament to the many musical genres Musgraves embraces, she has two killer openers – folk/ bluegrass legends Nickel Creek and dynamic songwriter Father John Misty.
