Gonzalez emphasized that government o ces should be places that serve everyone with dignity, and she sees it as her responsibility to ensure that her o ce remains a welcoming space.

thousands of applicants have received passports re ecting their identities. She acknowledged the confusion and fear these policy shifts can create for a ected individuals.

Je co Schools superintendent seeking raise amid potential state funding cuts

BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Superintendent Tracy Dorland is under scrutiny for requesting that the Je erson County School Board renegotiate her contract years before its 2027 expiration. Dorland’s current salary for the 2024-25 school year is $300,770. Her total compensation package also includes healthcare bene ts, retirement contributions, a monthly car allowance and technology support that includes a laptop, phone and watch, further adding to the overall value of her contract.

Late last year, the Je erson County Education Association organized a letter-writing campaign to the board, raising questions about the negotiations’ timing, transparency and prioritization, especially as the district faces potential funding cuts from the state.

Colorado is currently contending with a projected budget shortfall of $750 million, driven by rising Medicaid costs, the conclusion of federal COVID-19 relief funds and restrictions imposed by the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, according to reporting by the Colorado Sun.

“We want to be clear: nonbinary, transgender and gender non-conforming people have always been, and will always be, valued members of our community,” said Je erson County Clerk and Recorder Amanda Gonzalez. “We are deeply disheartened by this directive, which sends a message contrary to the inclusive values we hold. But here in Je co, our passport o ce will always remain a place

“Fundamentally, government should be about serving the people, and it should be about serving everybody with dignity and respect,” she said.

“ ese policies don’t exist in a vacuum,” she said. “ ey impact real people and cause real concern. No matter who you are, you should be able to show up and be valued as your full self.”

•Guidance for applicants: Sta are available to answer questions, clarify current requirements and process new passport applications in compliance with federal regulations.

To address this gap, Gov. Jared Polis has proposed a state budget that, while preserving some education funding, introduces signi cant changes to the school nance formula.

e federal directive follows a recent executive order mandating the U.S. government to recognize only individuals’ sex assigned at birth, reversing progress made in 2022 when the State Department introduced the “X” gender marker for passports.

Since then, Gonzalez said

She also noted that while her o ce must follow federal policies, it remains committed to ensuring applicants have all available information and are treated with respect.

“We may not have the power to override federal decisions, but we can ensure everyone feels welcome when they step through our doors,” Gonzalez said.

•Timely updates: e o ce will monitor changes in federal policy and share updates with the community to keep residents informed.

•Advocacy for inclusion: While bound by federal laws, the o ce is committed to promoting equality and fairness for all residents.

RTD adds detective bureau to enhance safety

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Regional Transportation District will now investigate all crime that happens on the agency’s property, through a newly created and fully functioning detective bureau.

e in-house detective bureau will enable RTD to directly perform investigations on thefts and any other criminal activity that may occur on its property – “anything that a ects the ability of our customers to ride the system safely,” said Brian Cousineau, the agency’s RTD-PD Commander, who will lead the detective bureau. “We want people to utilize our services and feel safe doing so.”

Cousineau said in a news release that the new bureau will help RTD pursue prosecuting personal crimes, involving any threat or use of force, and includes felony-level narcotics violations across the agency’s system or property.

As the bureau works out protocols for working with the eight counties in the agency’s district, the department will be able to le its own cases and carry out investigations on related cases that oc-

DORLAND

Je co Public Schools, Colorado’s second-largest district, already operates within tight budgetary limits. Paula Reed, a member of the Je co School Board, has repeatedly highlighted the district’s challenges.

“Colorado funds its schools $2,000 to $3,000 less per student than the national average,” Reed said while speaking to Je co Educational Support Professionals Association leaders during a December board meeting. “Eighty-seven percent of the district’s budget is already allocated to salaries and compensation.”

JCEA president Brooke Williams explained that these nancial realities make it di cult for some Je co educators to understand why Dorland’s contract is a matter of concern, especially when the district is considering asking voters to approve a mill levy override and a bond in 2026.

Williams fears this will create a perception issue, as the superintendent’s request for a raise could undermine community trust and complicate e orts to secure taxpayer support for critical funding measures.

“I’m a big believer that people deserve to make a living wage in the Je co area and be able to work in the places they live,” she said. “But many of our teachers can’t a ord that, so I feel like this is a giant PR (public relations) nightmare that will erode trust in our community.

“I’m not saying that Tracy (Dorland) isn’t working hard, but we’re all working hard,” Williams continued. “I think choosing not to ask for a raise now, as a leader, would allow her to gain her employees’ and the community’s respect.”

Je co Public Schools Associate Chief of Communications and Strategic Partnerships Kimberly Mahugh stressed that Dorland and the board began contract discussions in August 2024, and the board has never scheduled a date to vote on the outcome.

“While compensation is a standard and appropriate consideration in any contract negotiation, Superintendent

cur in di erent municipalities. As an example, Cousineau pointed to last year’s copper wire thefts from RTD tracks.

“If a copper wire theft happens in Aurora on our property and the wire was valued at $900, that’s a misdemeanor crime; we would hand it over to the Aurora Police Department,” Cousineau said. “Let’s say the same $900 copper wire theft happened a week later in ornton, and then a week later at Lakewood. e bene t of having our own detective bureau is that we can assign our detectives to all those cases. is changes the crime from being a misdemeanor to a felony-level crime.” e RTD-PD had aimed to establish a fully functioning detective bureau to le criminal cases in jurisdictions throughout its service area prior to the copper wire thefts in 2024. e thefts “were denitely a catalyst for us to get the bureau established more quickly,” Cousineau said.

Cousineau anticipates the RTD-PD detective bureau will be fully operational by the end of the second quarter in 2025, according to the news release.

Dorland’s primary motivation is to ensure leadership stability within Je co Public Schools,” Mahugh said.

“As a lifelong resident and parent within the district, she is deeply committed to serving her home community. e initiatives she is spearheading to improve student outcomes require a longterm strategic approach. e community needs and deserves the continuity and stability that an extended contract term would provide,” Mahugh continued.

Criticism of the superintendent’s compensation

Superintendent Dorland’s 2024-2025 salary of $300,770, which represents a 15% increase from her starting salary, has been a focal point of criticism, according to JCEA. e group states that her total compensation package includes bene ts not available to other district employees, such as the ability to choose any health insurance plan with 100% coverage for herself and her family, along with a generous retirement and auto allowance.

JCEA has also pointed out stark disparities between Dorland’s compensation and the nancial struggles of educators.

According to the union, 40% of Je co educators live paycheck to paycheck, and many struggle with rising housing and living costs in Je erson County.

According to the Colorado Department of Education, the average Je co teacher made $71,972 for the 2022-23 school year.

e union is also raising concerns about the timing and prioritization of the negotiations, as funding for the upcoming year remains uncertain, and union contract negotiations are set to take place in the spring.

“Will this same generosity be extended to us when we go to the bargaining table this spring?” the JCEA wrote to members.

Board member Mary Parker, who emphasized that she was only speaking for herself, said she didn’t understand why the union would think any discussions around Dorland’s contract would mean the board was prioritizing her salary over anything else.

“We were not prioritizing her contract,” Parker said. “I don’t understand where

anybody got that impression. Her contract ends in 2027, but superintendents are not on a yearly schedule. ere’s no time where you renegotiate or give raises like we have with our unions or with the associations. So it’s not unusual for a superintendent’s contract to be re-evaluated.”

Parker said she’s also surprised by the union’s strategy regarding employee compensation.

“JCEA has gotten very good raises, certainly since I’ve been on the board,” she said. “I made it clear it was a priority for me to adequately attract and retain the best employees we could, and that we needed to increase compensation. Tracy (Dorland) was right alongside the board in advocating for these substantial raises.”

Calls for transparency

Another major point of contention is how the board has used executive sessions to discuss Dorland’s contract. e JCEA and community members have called for more transparency, arguing that taxpayers deserve to know why these discussions are happening now and what changes are being proposed.

In response, board member Mary Parker defended using executive sessions, explaining that they are standard for discussing individual personnel matters. She emphasized that no nal decisions can be made during these closeddoor meetings and that the proposed contract will be published publicly before any vote.

“To date, the board has held three short executive sessions regarding the Superintendent’s contract: approximately 60 minutes on Nov. 1, less than 40 minutes on Nov. 14, and approximately 60 minutes on Dec. 11,” Parker said in an email response to a JCEA member. “No nal actions were taken at any of those meetings.”

Parker added that the board is seeking legal counsel to ensure the contract aligns with best practices and comparable compensation packages in similar districts.

“Nothing’s been done, but when and if we do get to that point, it will be in public,” Parker said.

Balancing priorities amid ﬁnancial uncertainty

e controversy comes at a pivotal moment for Je co Public Schools. Declining enrollment, potential state funding cuts and ongoing educator dissatisfaction have created a challenging environment for the district.

e JCEA has argued that the board should focus on addressing systemic issues a ecting students and sta rather than renegotiating the superintendent’s contract. Many educators feel undervalued and overworked, a sentiment exacerbated by the stark contrast between their compensation and bene ts and those of district leadership, the group argues.

Parker, however, emphasized the board’s commitment to fair employee compensation.

“Adequately compensating all Je co sta , from part-time workers all the way up to the Superintendent, has been a high priority for this Board,” she said. e board had planned another executive session to get legal advice regarding Dorland’s contract on Jan. 12 but delayed the session to allow for further discussion and review.

Mahugh said discussions around Dorland’s contract are ongoing.

Real Estate Commission Says Clients, Not Their Brokers, Should Choose Settlement Service Providers

The Colorado Real Estate Commission (CREC), whose mandate is to protect consumers, has made it clear in Position Statement #18 that we brokers should not dictate the settlement service providers utilized by buyers and sellers. Instead, the client should make that decision, influenced perhaps but not dictated by their real estate broker. Here’s the verbiage from that position statement: “When assisting a Consumer in finding a settlement service provider, a Broker must ensure the Consumer plays an active role in the process and is ultimately responsible for making the selection.”

A “settlement service provider” is defined as any provider of a service required in the execution of a real estate transaction: lenders, title companies, inspectors, surveyors, appraisers, home warranty providers, and lawyers. Another position statement (#3) echoes a federal law that prohibits us and any of those other service providers from receiving a kickback or “something of value” (such as dinners or even charitable gifts) in return for referring our client to them.

common practice for the buyer to assign that responsibility to the seller and to specify the title company named in the MLS listing — and for the buyer to use the same title company to purchase the “piggyback” title policy for the buyer’s lender. To choose another title company for the lender’s policy would always be more expensive and serve no purpose. Based on the CREC’s position statement, it would seem that we should tell each buyer that they may choose to hire a different title company for the lender’s policy than the one being used by the seller, but doing so would add hundreds of dollars to the cost of closing.

The exception to that is when the buyer is planning to flip the property (with or without making improvements) to another buyer and has an agreement with their preferred title company to “hold open” the policy for the resale, thereby saving the cost of a new title search and title policy.

There is a website to which we refer clients who want to do their own comparison shopping for title companies. I’ve promoted it in the past: www.CompareTitleCompanies.com

There’s another aspect of this matter which I have written about before which deserves repeating, and that’s the topic of “affiliated business arrangements” (ABAs). A service provider is considered an ABA when the brokerage has an ownership or profit-sharing interest in the provider. Virtually all the big brokerages and some smaller ones have their own mortgage companies, title companies and other service providers which bring additional revenue to the brokerage. Their ABAs must be disclosed to their clients, so they are aware that the use of one of the services (which the broker will invariably recommend) benefits the brokerage financially.

Golden Real Estate does not have any affiliated business arrangements, because I feel that having such relationships introduces an

ethical question of whether we are, as required by law and by the Realtor Code of Ethics always to put the client’s interests ahead of our own.

This ethical issue is amplified when the managing broker takes note (as he surely does) of which agents are “playing the company” game by “capturing” clients for their mortgage company and their title company.

Before I launched Golden Real Estate in July 2007, I was with two large brokerages which had those captive service providers, and it was clear to me that the managing broker was favoring associates with high “capture rates” for their affiliated businesses.

That is not only unethical, it constitutes “something of value” given to the associate in return for a service provider referral.

BTW, you’ll notice that we list Wendy Renee below as our “in-house loan officer.” She rents desk space in our storefront, but we earn nothing from the business she does.

In Memoriam: Our Free Moving Truck Has Bit the Dust

That law is the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 (RESPA). It was written to penalize persons or entities that are paid a fee (i.e., a kickback) for referring a client to a settlement service provider when the transaction includes a federally backed loan. As a practical matter, it has been assumed to apply to all real estate transactions.

RESPA’s primary focus is on lenders, to prohibit them from paying an “unearned” fee to a real estate broker, for example, in return for referring buyers to them. An “unearned” fee is one paid for doing nothing more than making the referral. If the person performs actual work, such as an attorney assisting on the transaction, that’s not a kickback, because it was earned

In this week’s column, I want to focus on the selection of title companies, since they, unlike those other service providers, are involved in virtually every real estate transaction.

Although the contract to buy and sell real estate allows the buyer to specify whether the seller or the buyer is to select the title company and pay for the owner’s title policy, it is a

I was reminded of this requirement that the seller actively participate in the selection of the title company when I was brought to task for my January 16th column in which I referred to First Integrity Title as our “preferred title company” because of a new service that they offer regarding HOA documents. Indeed, a complaint was filed against me by another service provider for violating the rule that the client, not the broker, must select the title company.

That complaint was dismissed by the Real Estate Commission’s investigator, but it inspired me to remind our readers — which includes real estate brokers and other service providers as well as prospective buyers and sellers — that this rule exists and that we should be diligent about obeying it. It’s not that hard to comply.

Henceforth, we will make it a practice to provide each client with a handout which, in addition to listing two or more lenders, inspectors, title companies and other settlement service providers, states in bold type (as suggested in Position Statement #18), that “the decision to hire a specific settlement service provider is completely at the Consumer’s discretion, and Consumers are not limited to service providers listed by the Broker.”

Back in 2004, I took delivery of our first box truck. After putting 150,000 miles on it, we bought a second truck and put another 100,000 miles on it. For a while, we actually had two trucks, and they got a lot of use, mostly by non-profits like BGoldN, the International Rescue Committee, Golden Chamber of Commerce, and Family Promise of Greater Denver. At right and below are pictures of volunteers from the Golden Relief Group who used the truck to transport donated furniture and furnishings for resettled refugees from Syria, Ukraine and elsewhere.

At right is our final truck, a 2012 Ford E350, which we purchased after it had logged 120,000 miles for Penske. The engine needs to be replaced at a cost of over $10,000, and it also needs a brake job.

We really enjoyed having a free moving truck to offer buyers and sellers, but you will notice in the box at left that now we only

provide free moving boxes and packing materials — still a nice benefit. We have decided not to replace the truck but to rent U-Haul trucks when the need arises. We are sorry that so many worthy nonprofits are losing access to a free box truck, but I’m hopeful they’ll find another company which can lend them one. Many self-storage companies have free box trucks for clients to use. Maybe one of them will do what we did.

9 key takeaways from Je co Public Schools’ ﬁnancial audit

Audit reveals need for better ﬁnancial oversight

BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Earlier this month, Je co Public Schools pulled back the curtain on its 2024nances, revealing a complex picture of progress and pitfalls in its latest Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. From pension liabilities to declining enrollment, the report, paired with an independent audit, spotlighted the district’s biggest challenges and opportunities for growth.

Here are nine key takeaways from the report and audit ndings:

1. Declining enrollment pressures revenue

Since 2020, Je co’s enrollment has decreased by 7,874 students, representing a nearly 10% decline. According to the report, this trend, driven by high housing costs and lower birth rates, has created substantial funding challenges, as state revenue is tied to student numbers.

Auditors noted that the state has mitigated the impact by using a ve-year enrollment average, but this bu er is temporary and will end sooner than the auditors anticipated.

e state’s new school funding formula reduced the average allowance to four years last year. Gov. Jared Polis has proposed dropping it altogether, which would impact declining districts like Jeffco.

Chalkbeat recently reported that many district leaders, including Je co’s school

nance o cer, attended a legislative hearing to oppose the proposed measure.

2. Pension liabilities drive signiﬁcant deﬁcit

e report states the district’s nancial position is burdened by a $1.66 billion net pension liability tied to the Colorado Public Employees’ Retirement Association. is liability contributed signi cantly to Je co’s net position de cit of $543.3 million.

Auditors emphasized the scale of this challenge, noting that PERA’s underwhelming investment performance in 2022 exacerbated the district’s long-term nancial risks, further complicating its scal outlook.

e report warns that the district’s decit will likely persist without changes to state pension policies.

3. Gaps in internal controls highlighted by audit

Auditors found a signi cant de ciency in Je co’s nancial oversight, particularly in the handling of manual journal entries. ey noted that journal entries are posted without su cient review or documentation, increasing the risk of errors or inconsistencies.

“ e district should install a process to review manual journal entries prior to those entries being posted. Additionally, correcting journal entries should contain appropriate documentation to support the reason for the correcting entry,” auditors stated.

Auditors also recommended exploring a built-in control within the PeopleSoft system to ensure entries are not posted to the general ledger until a separate individual adequately reviews them.

4. Missing approvals in key ﬁnancial processes

e audit identi ed missing approvals in several essential processes, including year-end closing checklists, bank reconciliations and accounts receivable aging schedules. ese lapses could lead tonancial mismanagement or overlooked errors.

“Approval was noted to be missing in June 2024 bank reconciliations,” the report stated.

Additionally, auditors found “no indication of approval on accounts receivable aging schedules,” underscoring the need for more rigorous review procedures.

Auditors recommended that Je co implement formal approval steps for all nancial processes and document these approvals to ensure accountability.

5. Revenue increases o set by enrollment decline

Despite a 3.4% increase in general fund revenue, reaching $925.4 million, declining enrollment tempered nancial gains.

e report noted that a 10.4% increase in per-pupil state funding helped bolster revenue, but shrinking student numbers remain a persistent challenge.

“Increased per-pupil funding helped o set revenue losses from declining enrollment, but stabilizing enrollment remains critical to the district’s nancial health,” auditors observed.

6. Capital improvement program nears completion

e report notes that Je co’s $834 million capital improvement program is almost complete.

“ e district remains on track to complete its capital improvement program within budget and timeline,” the report highlighted, noting this as a bright spot in an otherwise challenging nancial landscape.

7. Errors in asset calculations require correction

e audit agged signi cant inaccuracies in the district’s calculation of net investment in capital assets, amounting to $8.9 million in errors. is included misclassi cations related to pension certicates and subscription assets.

“ e district should implement a review and approval process to ensure all components of the calculation are appropriate and supported by the general ledger,” the report advised.

Auditors said these errors had been corrected during the audit process but noted that the issue underscores the need for better nancial oversight.

8. Rising costs in special education

e report highlights that growing special education spending has increased by 10.1% year-over-year, placing additional strain on an already tight budget.

“Increased expenditures in special education re ect the district’s commitment to meeting the needs of students, even amidst scal pressures,” the report stated.

9. Signiﬁcant deﬁciencies: new and unresolved issues

One of the most concerning ndings in the audit was the repeated identi cation of a signi cant de ciency from the prior year.

“ e issue of journal entry oversight was identi ed in the prior year’s audit but remains unresolved,” the auditors noted. “Failure to address this de ciency increases the risk of nancial inaccuracies and weakens overall accountability.”

Auditors emphasized that signi cant de ciencies, while not as severe as material weaknesses, require urgent correction to prevent potential nancial mismanagement.

e district’s chief nancial o cer, Brenna Copeland, didn’t address why the district hadn’t xed the issue when speaking to the school board but stressed that while it’s tempting to talk about the audit, the annual report is a more important indicator of how the district is doing.

“What I want our public to know is that if you review our nancial statements, you’ll see that the district is in a very healthy nancial situation,” Copeland said. “We have some reserves to deploy as we need them and I think that comes out in the numbers and in the actual data in the annual report.”

Je co Public Library buys future branch location near Chatﬁeld Avenue

BEST OF THE BEST VOTING STARTS MARCH 1!

Je erson County Public Library is hosting a Feb. 22 open house at its future South Je co branch location, seen here on Jan. 23. The agency recently bought the 64,000-square-foot building near West Chatﬁeld Avenue for $10.7 million.

JCPL hosting a Feb. 22 open house at new location

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A former beer distribution center in unincorporated South Je co will, in a few years, be the newest Je erson County Public Library branch.

JCPL has purchased a 40,000-squarefoot building on a 7-acre property at 11100 Bradford Road, which is about a mile west of West Chat eld Avenue and South Kipling Parkway.

After its board approved the purchase in August, the library district closed on the property in January. JCPL bought it for $10.7 million, and plans to spend another $13 million renovating and retro tting it.

e building is scheduled to open as JCPL’s newest library branch in late 2027.

Both the purchase and the renovation project will be fully funded by existing revenues, Executive Director Donna Walker clari ed. e district won’t be seeking a tax increase or taking on debt, she said.

Walker and her colleagues were excited to show people the new site, inviting everyone to attend a Feb. 22 open house. e event will be from 10-11:30 a.m. at 11100 Bradford Road.

ere will be another open house from 10-11:30 a.m. March 1 at the Columbine branch.

Attendees are encouraged to provide feedback about the new property, Walker and JCPL spokesperson Elise Penington said.

e new Bradford Road location is in the middle of an o ce park along Shaffer Parkway. It is a proverbial stone’s throw away from a Je co DMV o ce, a post o ce and the Ken Caryl Ranch Metro District o ce.

ere are some residential neighborhoods within easy walking distance, and it’s about a mile away from Shaffer Elementary School and Ken Caryl Ranch Community Park.

Now that the purchase is nalized, the library district wants to include pub-

lic feedback about how to program the space before drafting designs later this year, they said.

Walker said the building also needs general upkeep, such as a new roof, along with covering the concrete oors and changing the o ces into library space.

e new use will also require some tra c mitigation measures, including additional parking spaces. Penington con rmed the site has 102 parking spaces but will need 130 for the nished library location.

Once the designs are nished, JCPL is planning to move into the permitting and construction phases in 2026. Walker hoped the new location would be open by late 2027, but said that schedule is subject to change.

Along with the Feb. 22 open house, JCPL sta are brainstorming whether to host other activities and events there before construction begins, to get patrons used to the new location.

Walker said JCPL had identi ed South Je co’s Ken Caryl area as an underserved community even before its 2015 mill levy vote. So, when it passed, some of the funds would go toward establishing a new branch in the area.

e Columbine branch is the nextclosest one, and Walker said it was built to serve about 60,000 people. However, it currently serves about 122,000 people. So, Walker said JCPL needed another branch southwest of Columbine to serve about 60,000 residents in the Ken Caryl and C-470 areas.

However, between addressing other priorities, COVID-19-related delays and lack of available properties, Walker said JCPL and a community advisory board knew it would take time before they found a suitable property.

e project had substantial community support, though, Penington noted.

As JCPL worked to buy the Bradford Road property, sta shared details with more than 2,000 people at summer and fall events. e response, Penington said, was “overwhelming excitement.” Walker felt likewise, saying, “We’re excited about this location. We think it’s going to be a great community amenity.”

National School Choice Week highlights progress and inequities in Denver metro area schools

BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado has long been a pioneer in school choice, o ering families various educational options, including public, charter, private and magnet schools, as well as open enrollment across district boundaries since 1994.

According to the Reason Foundation, data from the Colorado Department of Education showed that more than 199,000 students, 28% of those enrolled in traditional public schools statewide, used open enrollment during the 2023-24 school year.

While National School Choice Week, which was celebrated this year from Jan. 26 – Feb. 1, showcased these opportunities, it also raised questions among some policy advocates about the equity of access to these options.

Director of the National Education Policy Center Kevin Welner, explained that while school choice was initially designed to decouple educational opportunities from residential zip codes, meaning that where you lived no longer had to de ne the quality of your education, that doesn’t always play out in practice.

“Unconstrained school choice programs… often add a layer of strati cation on top of the existing residential strati cation,” Welner said. “Parents with more social capital or exible resources are better positioned to research options, meet application deadlines and provide transportation, giving their children a signi cant advantage.” is concept, which Welner called “parental e cacy,” can lead to a system in which the “rich get richer” and the “poor get poorer.”

“In a fair system, we wouldn’t want to allocate educational opportunities to kids based on parents’ education, wealth or ability to work the system,” he said.

School choice racial diversity across Denverarea districts

Student enrollment in Denver Public Schools and Adams 12 Five Star Schools re ects their communities’ racial and cultural diversity. DPS reports that 74% of its students are from communities of color, and Adams 12 shows a similar trend, with more than 70% identifying as Hispanic, Black, Asian or multiracial.

In contrast, Je erson and Douglas County public schools are far less diverse. In Je erson County, students of color make up just 40% of the population, while in Douglas

County, the gure drops to 25%.

ese disparities grow even larger in private schools, where white students account for more than 75% of enrollment in both districts, leaving Hispanic, Black and Asian students signi cantly underrepresented. Charter schools, intended to be a more accessible alternative to private schools, show mixed results. In Je erson County, some charter schools re ect the diversity of public schools, but in Douglas County, many charter schools have predominantly white student populations, resembling private schools more than the communities they serve.

Yet, Dan Schaller, president of the Colorado League of Charter Schools, said that it’s important to “zoom out” and look at the aggregate picture when analyzing the demographics of charter schools rather than just focusing on individual situations.

According to statewide data, charter schools serve a higher percentage of students of color and English language learners than traditional public schools, Schaller said.

He also referred to a new report from the Keystone Policy Center that highlights the strong academic performance of Colorado charter schools, particularly their ability to support students and recover from pandemic-related challenges.

Even charter schools, which are publicly funded, sometimes create hurdles for families. Welner points to practices such as narrow enrollment windows, in-person registration requirements or the need for extensive application materials, all of which disproportionately disadvantage lower-income families.

Ashort time ago I fell and skinned my knees.

Falling is not particularly unusual for me. Since being diagnosed with MS, I have found my relationship with gravity to be a double-edged sword; I appreciate the fact that this unseen force keeps us from hurtling o into space. But at the same time, gravity can be a pain when I drop item after item and it can be painful when the thing that falls to the ground is not a fork, but me.

I fell while walking into a school, and the public nature of that misstep was challenging. As I struggled to get up, three thoughts raced through my mind: “Ouch, my knees hurt,” “I hope my pants didn’t rip,” and “How many people saw me fall?” While I was not injured beyond a couple of skinned knees in my tumble, it took me time to reach a spot of resilience. Interestingly, as I struggled to recover mentally from the fall, I was embarrassed about the fact that I write so much about resilience but in that moment, could not nd it in myself. I played over and over in my mind the look of the three people who rushed to help me. I perseverated over why I had to fall in that location, why there had been so many people around, and most of all why I could not shake o my feelings of frustration, em-

Finding resilience after a stumble

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

barrassment, and defeat surrounding that moment. Eventually, I found my footing, and soon after reached the conclusion that struggling to nd resilience does not make me a hypocrite; it makes me human.

While they were not easy lessons, here is what I learned from that experience:

• Being resilient is not for the vain. After “ouch,” my initial reactions centered around vanity. oughts of how many people saw me fall and how many people would be able to know that something happened, occupied my brain rst. If we are going to be resilient, we must be OK sometimes looking like we have been in a struggle. ere is immense power in embracing our fallibility, our humanity, our stumbles.

• Part of being resilient is accepting help. As I mentioned, there were three people who ran over to support me, and honestly, without their help, standing up could have been a struggle. All of them asked me if I was OK, and one of them said to me, “ e nurse’s o ce has Advil.

A heavenly thought

A fever called Living.” It’s a line in Edgar Allan Poe’s poem, “To Annie.” I was so moved by it that I instantly decided it would make an ideal theme and perfect title for an essay. But like what unfailingly happens when I write, thoughts and words veered in the direction they would.

“To Annie” is a melancholy paean about resting serenely in the afterlife. Perhaps it was Poe’s notion of heaven. Maybe, but the poem indirectly alludes to the intensity of life in the 1840s. Since then, it’s grown exponentially more feverish.

Poe’s writings, like those of the many greats, invariably cause my mind to wonder about the mystery of life. at penchant began in the rst grade when I was introduced to my rst tome: my reader of Dick and Jane’s escapades. I quickly became fascinated with stories, both ctional and trueto-life. In time, history, psychology and the other ologies became strong interests. Actually, passions. e human condition and experience. I found adventurous stories very much to my liking. In the eighth grade, Sister Elenita prompted us boys to read “ e Hardy Boys” series, but when I saw what they were about, I thought, “Meh,” or something close to that. But it was then I discovered Jules Verne’s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” I had no clue what a league was in that context because for me at that time it was the group of teams the Pittsburgh Pirates played in. I consulted a dictionary, but the concept remained vague. But it didn’t matter because I dove into the depth with Captain Nemo and discovered a wondrously mysterious world. To this day, I still nd adventure stories like Jon Krakauer’s “Into in Air,” Daniel James Brown’s “Boys in the

I’m sure that will help you.” Before they left my side, each of the three gave kind sentiments of support. In our struggles, part of what we must do is get beyond our embarrassment about needing help and move to see help as a blessing. Too often feeling like a burden is a personal problem not a reality. We are beings that were born to help each other; we do not wander this earth separately like the polar bears of the Arctic; we live in a community so that we can help each other. is is how we were made, embrace it.

• Striving to overcome our struggle leaves us open to scraping our knees and getting bruised. at is not a bad thing, if we are not striving, we are living too safely. To live, to truly live means to step out into the experience. We can sit at home in our chairs watching TV, reading books, doing puzzles, and be safe from scrapes and bruises. To what end?

• Being resilient is signi cantly easier when we spend time striving to help others. When we struggle because we want to make a di erence, our scrapes have a purpose, our bruises have a reason, and our ability to bounce back grows exponentially. We are not wallowing in the di culty of our struggle when we are striving to make a di erence.

Most importantly, I learned being resilient does not mean instantaneously shaking o the scrapes and bruises we experience, but it does mean striving to move outside of the mindset that will hold us captive, a prisoner afraid to move forward, afraid to strive.

In the struggles you face, whatever the challenge may be, I sincerely hope that when you stumble and cannot nd your resilience, you will re ect on these lessons and rediscover your strength.

I hope my words inspire you, and that you will share them with those who need encouragement. ank you to everyone who has shared their stories with me so far; I truly enjoy hearing how you nd valuable insights in these columns and use them to uplift those around you.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Pro-Palestine, pro-human, not pro-Hamas

Boat,” and the host of Hampton Sides’ books to be gripping page-turners. Nevertheless, my heart resides primarily in stories about the human condition. Generally not packed with pageturning adventure, mystery, or romance, literary ction takes the reader on a more perilous journey: into the recesses of the human mind. For me, there’s no better guide than John Steinbeck. In my estimation, he was the best in developing complex characters as they make their ways through the maze of life. us it happens that that literary preference dovetails perfectly with my passion for the ologies.

As I wrote in “Toning the Mind,” reading ought to provide an enjoyable escape from the mundane, bustle, and travails of life. But I already live far from omas Hardy’s Madding Crowd, never inclined to amass a golden nest egg, and continue to be a voracious reader. And now a writer. As such, I ruminate about the madness that’s infected us. I think about the world of illusion, delusion, and fantasy that the great writers diligently worked to bring to our consciousness with the hope, I presume, of dispelling social pathologies from our psyches. To little avail, it seems. But they never quit trying.

I try to carry on their work, but it’s a never-ending work in progress. Like it is with sports, art, and craftsmanship, watching and learning from the great ones is a terri c way to hone your skillset. To do that, to absorb an iota of Steinbeck’s literary touch, I crawl

slowly through his novels and marvel at how without wasting words, even in his 600-hundred page opus, “East of Eden,” he guides the reader through the caverns of his characters’ minds and souls, discreetly detailing how their lives intersect in relation to the moral principle in play, like how the biblical Cain has gotten a bad rap. I marvel at the human spirit and the achievements, perseverance, and goodness of those who don’t put money and career front and center, who are generous with their time, who are caring for and appreciative of their family, neighbors, and nation, and who live authentic, full-throated lives. I nd their stories uplifting and inspirational counterweights to the excesses of those in the throes of the fever of living. Poe, like each of us, had his notion about the afterlife. And here’s where I’ll probably o end at least part of the 73 percent of Americans that polls indicate believe in a literal heaven. For me, that notion is a fantasy, although I understand why many subscribe to it. Being that as it is, I prefer Robert Browning’s description of heaven: One’s reach exceeding their grasp. us, I pluck away on my keyboard with visions not of sugar plums dancing in my head but of carrying on the tradition of Steinbeck by doing what he tried to do — explain the inexplicable — and in like manner encouraging you, no matter your age or circumstance, to extend your reach beyond your grasp.

Jerry Fabyanic is the author of “Sisyphus Wins” and “Food for ought: Essays on Mind and Spirit.” He lives in Georgetown.

In a recent letter published from Rich Oliver he referred to pro-Palestinian advocates as Hamas supporters. As one of those people, I can assure everyone that we are not Hamas.

We are folks from this community who are standing up for a people who have undergone a genocide and have been treated as less than human. We are not Hamas nor anti Jew, in fact many of us are Jewish. Mr. Rich also made sound like we are violent. We are passionate for sure, but we are not violent.

Former City Councilman Olver’s divisive and inﬂammatory action causes harm and division to city council and the community

As a resident of Lakewood, I regularly attend city council meetings to speak on a number of issues. A group of us usually attend to speak about the genocide taking place in Palestine.

One day, I recall many of us were at the meeting when Olver did his infamous and disgusting wardrobe change in which he took o the shirt he was wearing at the start of the meeting and switched into another one that read “I stand with Israel.” It was pretty despicable and seemed deliberately in ammatory. If anyone was di cult to work with, it was him. Why we would he put himself in that situation only to turn around and blame others including but not limited to Councilwomen Jeslin Shahrezaei, Rebekah Stewart and Sophia Mayott-Guerro? at type of behavior is unacceptable and unprofessional when you are representing constituents from all types of backgrounds and are supposed to be impartial and just. We never went in there demanding anything other than standing up for what is right. You are either for genocide, for apartheid, for an occupation or or you are not. It is as simple as that.

Councilwoman Jeslin Shahrezaei adjourned the meeting when it seemed that Olver clearly intended on provoking everyone in attendance and she made the right decision to adjourn the city council meeting that evening not only to promote safety but also to preserve eveyone’s feelings around the issue. I thought he was being insensitive and acting out of the bounds of what it means to be a member of the city council who is there to serve everyone in his ward and not just a few.

Miners Alley ﬁnds grace in the morning after

So many stories about people in their later years focus on the dreary and dour aspects of life, but senior living is about so much more than that. at truth was an important one that playwright Carey Crim wanted to get across in her show, “Morning After Grace.”

“I didn’t want to write a play for people of a certain age about maladies and assisted living,” she explained. “I wanted to write something with humor and heart that was about real issues facing real people”

Directed by Abby Apple Boes, “Morning After Grace,” runs at Miners Alley Playhouse, 1100 Miners Alley in Golden, through Sunday, March 2. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. on ursday, Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday. e show was originally developed for and premiered at the Purple Rose eatre Company in Michigan and focuses on Abigail (Tammy Meneghini) and Angus (Kevin Hart), a duo that meet at a funeral and end up spending the night together. As they try to make sense of the situation, they encounter Ollie (Dwayne Carrington), a neighbor who throws everyone for a loop.

“People go through big changes in their senior years and it can be di cult meeting new people, especially in a romantic way,” Boes said. “ e play pulls out the humor in these situations while holding onto a great heart.”

Crim said she particularly wanted to explore the disconnect between the age one is and the age one feels like they are. As people get older, they are increasingly relegated to the sidelines of life, which can be hurtful.

“ e play is about a group of people who never thought they’d be old,” she said. “ e men are dealing with a loss of virility and women are made to feel invisible.”

“Morning After Grace” isn’t only aimed at senior audiences. ere are insights and laughs aplenty for adults of all ages, which might explain why it is one of Crim’s most popular e orts. At a time when the country is so divided, this kind of play can help people feel connected, she added.

“People can feel cathartic after laughing and crying, which is something they’re longing for these days,” Boes said. “ is is a beautiful play about human connection and audiences will walk away with great feelings from that kind of story.”

PRESERVING THE MAGIC

BY RYLEE DUNN

Over 50 years since Pong burst onto the gaming scene and 30 years since the Sony PlayStation changed the trajectory of the eld, small independent arcades featuring scores of vintage games continue to thrive throughout the Denver metro area.

In many cases, unassuming exteriors give way to dimly lit interiors with memorabilia-adorned walls, locally sourced libations, and, of course, the ashing lights, exclamative sound e ects and controller clatter of the arcade’s reserve of classic games. ere’s something, perhaps, a bit more impersonal when the venue gets scaled up in a corporate chain setting.

To its credit, many Denver-area locales have managed to preserve the magic of these establishments.

Jason Ungate, owner of e Tabletop Tap in Englewood, credits the

thriving local arcade scene with the renaissance of interest in classic games.

“ e Denver-metro area has a handful of very unique arcades which all o er something a little bit di erent,” Ungate said. “( e) 1Up (Arcade Bar) has a thorough lineup of arcade games that invoke the feeling of the ‘80s via their classic game lineup. Akihabara (Arcade and Bar) gives locals the chance to experience a Japanese-themed spot with candy cabs and other games you’d never see in an American arcade.

“We at Tabletop Tap marry board games with video games and console games, a mishmash of multiple nerdy elements,” Ungate continued. “ ese places and more o er unique experiences, both for the generations that may have grown up with them, and the younger generations who are just encountering them for the rst time.”

While Akihabara and 1Up both keep Westminster’s gaming community satiated, the metro area abounds

with unique shops in other locales as well. Up in the foothills, Wild Game Entertainment Experience in Evergreen has everything from bowling to arcade games, while Blizzard Mountain Pinball specializes in the kind of wizardry e Who immortalized in 1969.

Over in Arvada, dueling Olde Town arcade establishments Secret Level and Super Zoom Bang Bang cater to di erent demographics; the former includes a bar and is generally open a couple of hours later than its counterpart, which primarily caters to younger kids and doubles as a toy story.

Holly Nikolich owns the Colorado Pinball Pub in Littleton (with another location in Monument) and opened the shop with her husband as an outgrowth of sorts of their annual pinball festival, the Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown and Gameroom Expo, which is entering its 21st year this year.

rado Pinball Pub as a year-long home for the folks who enjoy our annual pinball festival.

“ e once-a-year festival brings together the pinball and gaming community from across Colorado, neighboring states, and beyond,” Nikolich continued.

A longtime love of games seems to be a common thread with shopkeepers.

Ungate said he and his wife, Kristin, had been collecting classic games like Joust, Battlezone and Frogger, and eventually set out to combine their love of classic games with their love of board games in what would become Tabletop Tap.

ARCADES

“We’re long-timers in the pinball and gaming world and are proud to bring the arcade and whiskey community together with the Colorado Pinball Pubs,” Nikolich said. “My husband and I opened Colo-

“We wanted to create a place that was clean and welcoming, but also full of nostalgia for the ‘80s and the ‘90s,” Ungate said. “We o er over 250 board games, a small but rotating collection of arcade games.”

Ungate also said that he, like many other arcade owners, seeks to foster community at the arcade, even going so far as to host community nights such as a monthly Mario Kart tournament, a “nerdy book club,” and a video game book club.

he says caters to both gaming veterans and young people looking for community.

Velasquez also said that the advent of arcade chains — such as Round One in Littleton, Immersive Gamebox in Den-

ver and Main Event in Highlands Ranch, ornton, Colorado Springs and Windsor — has allowed corporations to gain a foothold in the industry, though he posits that these establishments are more focused on alternative revenue streams

“(Arcade) chains are more focused on making money in other ways, like through drinks and food sales,” Velasquez said. “I think local shops put more of an emphasis on the games and keeping up the games over time.”

Nevertheless, the independent arcade scene in Denver seems to be thriving, and hopefully won’t be ceding way to its corporate competition anytime soon.

SCHOOL CHOICE

“Sometimes it’s sneaky; sometimes it’s just careless,” he says of these barriers. “But it does play out in ways that disadvantage some students and advantage others in a way that’s entirely predictable in terms of who’s advantaged and who’s not.

says, are a successful example, promoting socioeconomic and racial diversity through transportation assistance and weighted lotteries. Charter networks like DSST Public Schools (formerly known as Denver Schools of Science and Technology) are often highlighted for their success in improving academic performance and graduation rates.

According to DSST’s website, its eight campuses, which serve middle and high school students, are committed to “ensuring that the outcomes of DSST students are high-achieving and do not correlate with any predictable social or cultural factors.”

“For students with disabilities, there are a whole host of additional issues about nding a school that has the resources that the child needs and that is willing to accept the child,” he continued. “If you’re talking about voucher systems, private schools have enormous discretion on which students to accept, and we see that with other school choice systems as well. Some schools will provide the resources that a child needs to address the child’s disabilities, and some schools will either deliberately or carelessly, simply not have those resources available.”

Transportation is another critical factor. Private and charter schools rarely provide busing, limiting access for families without exible schedules or reliable vehicles.

Schaller acknowledged but challenged the perception that charter schools lack diversity or focus only on select populations.

“Charter schools are, generally speaking, re ective of the communities in which they are founded,” he said, adding that they often intentionally serve underserved populations.

Seeking solutions

Welner suggests that addressing inequities in school choice requires thoughtful system design with equity at its core. Federal magnet school programs, he

Elena Mascarello, a junior at DSST’s Aurora Science and Technology, said she started attending the school after her parents saw a meeting notice. Her eyes lit up as she talked about her teachers and their dedication to providing whatever resources their students need.

Mascarello also said the school’s diverse group of students is one of her favorite things about it.

“Our school is very diverse, and I think that’s very good for education,” Mascarello said. “I like knowing that every time I go into a DSST school, or when all of the DSST schools meet up, I can meet new people from di erent backgrounds, and they all have di erent stories to tell.”

Aleisha Garcia, a senior at DSST Conservatory Green High School, also loves her charter school’s strong support system, its resources and opportunities and the diverse environment that allows her to learn about di erent cultures.

“I appreciate learning about other cultures,” Garcia said. “I think it’s very important to gain mutual respect for each other and to be more open-minded. It expands our knowledge and lets us see things from a di erent point of view.”

Chris Olson: Je co’s jack of all trades

BY DENNIS PLEUSS

JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

JEFFERSON COUNTY — On the sidelines, on the bench, in the classroom or in the press box … Chris Olson has seemingly done it all during his three decades working for Je co Public Schools.

Olson has taught at three high schools — Green Mountain (1994-1996), Conifer (1996-2004) and Chat eld (2004-present), along with coaching a variety of sports at seven di erent Je co schools since 1994. Not to mention, spending the past 23 years announcing the Colorado High School Activities Association’s boys and girls soccer state championship games.

“Approach each day with gratitude and be appreciative of all the opportunities that you do get to be around sports and impact kids,” Olson said of what advice he would give a young teacher who wants to be also involved in high school athletics. “Be a positive in uence at your school.”

The coach

e Class of 1989 Arvada West High School graduate played soccer and basketball in high school before going to college at Western Colorado University in Gunnison. Olson quickly returned to Je co to start what is now his 31st year of teaching and coaching in Je co.

Olson’s rst high school coaching job was actually at Gunnison High School as the girls JV basketball coach from 19921994 when he was still going to school at Western to obtain his secondary social studies teaching license.

“I really liked coaching summer camps and stu other (coaching) I’d been doing,” Olson said. “I wanted a job where I could coach.”

Coaching soccer is where Olson started. He played on the men’s club soccer at Western for a year, but ended up coaching the women’s club soccer team at Western his second year in Gunnison. When he returned to Je co, his rst coaching job was the Level 3 boys basketball coach at Arvada West in 1994. He was then named the head varsity boys soccer coach at Green Mountain High School in 1995. During Olson’s 3-year run as the Rams’ soccer coach he complied a 40-8-2 record, including a 5A Jeco League championship and advancing to the state semi nals.

“I’m thinking. is is awesome. I’m pretty good at this,” Olson joked after leading Green Mountain’s boys soccer team to the Final 4 and taking 5A Je co Coach of the Year honors. “You just show up, coach and go to the Final 4.” e opening of Conifer and Dakota Ridge high schools in 1996 eventually landed Olson up at Conifer where he was the varsity girls soccer coach for three years and JV boys basketball coach for seven seasons.

“We weren’t really good,” Olson said of his time at Conifer as the JV boys basketball coach under head coach Michael Deutsch. “We always joked that we might have done our most amazing coaching jobs. We got to experiment with a lot of things during those seven years. I got a lot of background on trying things, implementing things and how to install things.”

Olson actually jumped in to help coach softball and JV volleyball at Conifer. He would eventually head back down the hill to teach at Chat eld, along with coaching at Chat eld and D’Evelyn.

“I’ve been super fortunate to have really good mentors,” Olson said of coaching in uences with the likes of Chris Peterson (A-West), Deutsch (Conifer) and Steve Schimpeler (Chat eld).

Olson was the JV girls soccer coach at D’Evelyn in the early 2000s and when the varsity girls basketball job came open in 2006 he had several of the girls soccer players encourage him to apply for the job. After thinking it over during Spring Break, Olson decided to put his hat into the ring.

He was hired by out-going D’Evelyn athletic director Kevin Land and incoming athletic director Jerry McWhorter. Over the past 19 season, the Jaguars’ girls basketball program has won six Je co League titles, four Final 4 state appearances and three state runner-up nishes.

“When I got the job in 2006 there weren’t many girls team that pressed and ran. It was a very half-court game,” said Olson, who has 340 career wins and has won the Je co Girls Basketball Coach of the Year six times at D’Evelyn. “ ere wasn’t a lot of girls teams that shot a lot of 3s.”

“Approach each day with gratitude and be appreciative of all the opportunities that you do get to be around sports and impact kids. Be a positive inﬂuence at your school.”

Chris Olson

Olson brought over the Chat eld’s boys hoops philosophy of defensive pressure, running and shooting the 3-ball over to the girls’ side. Olson picked up D’Evelyn’s signature full-court pressing element during his three seasons working with Chat eld’s boys basketball program under Schimpeler.

Olson said he has never got a complaint from a player about the style D’Evelyn has run for nearly 20 seasons.

“My rule about shooting is, ‘Don’t shoot it if you aren’t going to make it.’ If you have any reason why you don’t think you are going to make it don’t shoot it,” Olson said. “If you are catching and shooting it you are telling me you are going to make it. You believe and have the con dence you are going to make it.”

The teacher

Olson’s social studies teaching career has included Green Mountain, Conifer and Chat eld.

“It is totally similar,” Olson said of his teaching and coaching styles. “My classroom has ve groups of six. We call them Mr. O’s teams. We do trivia at the beginning of each class and have a scoreboard in the back of the room to keep score.”

A lot of group work has been a staple in Olson’s classroom. He refers to days in which students give presentations as ‘game-days’.

The announcer

Announcing high school soccer games in between teaching and coaching started in 2002 at the North Area Athletic Complex when Olson was in process to get his masters in secondary school counseling. He had a Wednesday night class, so he would announce soccer games at NAAC on Tuesdays and ursdays.

“I wanted to be involved with stu still,” Olson said of picking up the announcing gig.

Also in 2002, CHSAA hosted the 3A state semi nals at NAAC. Olson started his string of announcing the boys and girls state soccer championship games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park or Weidner Field in Colorado Springs for the past 23 years.

Olson has announced over 75 state soccer championship games across all classi cations.

“It is funny when you see people, you take pride of knowing them and knowing how to pronounce their names,” Olson said of announcing athletes who are from families that he has known for years. “To be able to work that side of it has been great.”

For the last 16 years, Olson has been one of the primary soccer announcers at Lakewood Memorial Field.

Students of sports management or marketing can ﬁnd tips and tricks about the business and behindthe-scenes happenings of the industry’s structure.

“ rough this book, I aim to help the next generation of sports management (and marketing) students understand how to break into the sports industry. I also wanted to show diehard fans how everything works with a unique and authentic behind-the-scenes view.”

Tosti has taught sports management and marketing at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, and the University of ColoradoDenver. He also spent eight years in the concert business.

He is originally from Paintsville, Kentucky, and attended the University of Kentucky where he received his master’s degree in sports management.

Tosti is now the director of sponsor relations for Outside Inc. in Boulder, and the founder and executive director of the Denver-based nonpro t Sports for a Cause.

“My book is unique and focuses on the sports industry, not an individual athlete or famous coach,” he said. “ e front o ce is lled with dedicated, hard-working individuals that no one hears about, and I want sports fans to understand the work it takes to make game days happen.”

BY PAOLO ZIALCITA DENVERITE

It’s lunchtime at Bourbon Grill, the Cajun barbecue hole-in-the-wall at Colfax Avenue and Pearl Street.

Known for piling massive portions of saucy, grilled chicken, mac-and-cheese and rice into styrofoam boxes, Bourbon Grill often has a line at the door.

But on a cold Monday, Bourbon Grill’s workers were uncharacteristically idle. In fact, it had been slow for a few days now.

“We had a record low. e lowest [sales] we ever did was two days ago,” said Mac Vo, who is part of the family that owns the restaurant. eir sales for that day: “$165.”

To stay optimistic, Vo and the rest of the workers initially chalked it up to the cold weather. But they thought there was a bigger cause. Ever since construction on the $300 million Colfax Bus Rapid Transit project started in October, business has been trending downward for Bourbon Grill and its neighbors.

“How could we prepare for it?” Vo asked.

‘Now it’s even more dead’ e Colfax BRT project aims to transform one of Denver’s busiest roads into a public transit paradise. New trees, better lighting, dedicated bus lanes, nicer stops and reliable service are meant to

get more people on the 15 and 15L bus routes.

Construction on BRT is scheduled through 2027, with sections of the project under construction for over a year at a time. e city has identi ed ve construction segments; some of the segments will be under construction at the same time.

is year, construction will stretch along three segments — from Broadway to approximately Monaco Street Parkway.

Construction started near Colfax and Grant, where Obeid Kaifo saw cones and heavy machinery block the sidewalks near his family’s Shish Kabob Grill.

Kaifo, who has worked at the Eastern Mediterranean restaurant since he was 14, said foot tra c in the area has been slow since 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic. He said it hasn’t recovered yet, as customers have been eating at home and saving money.

“ ere’s not much activity and on top of it, the construction, it just makes it a hundredfold worse,” Kaifo said. “If you thought we were dead before, well now you’re annoying everybody, and now it’s even more dead.”

For a mile-long stretch of Colfax — between the Colorado State Capitol and the diagonal Park Avenue — orange cones plaster the street. Concrete barriers stand in front of some businesses as crews tear up the street — occasionally digging up ghosts of Denver’s public transit past.

Drivers aren’t the only ones dealing with closures. To get from Shish Kabob Grill to Capitol Hill Books — just across the street — pedestrians have to navigate fences and sidewalk closures.

COVID again’

In the bookstore, Holly Brooks sat alone at the counter, eagerly waiting for customers. Like Kaifo and Vo, the longtime owner of the bookstore hasn’t had much luck lately. Brooks, who said she already works for free, said she’s not sure how much longer they can survive with the BRT project’s impact on foot tra c.

“We had to let one guy go because that payroll was just too much,” Brooks said. Parking for customers, already a rare luxury along Colfax, has decreased, with construction blocking o curb spots — something that’s annoying takeout customers.

“ ey’re mostly complaining it takes some 15, 20 minutes to nd parking,” Vo said.

Will the BRT project change the Colfax vibe?

BRT has been in the works for over a decade. It’s the rst project of its kind in the region.

Planners envision it as part of a network of speedy buses that connects the Front Range. Besides bene ting commuters, supporters believe BRT will bring foot tra c to Colfax businesses.

Many business owners and workers Denverite spoke to weren’t entirely sold on that vision. While some are more optimistic, almost all shared a question: Will the project be worth the pain of construction?

“At the end of the day, if this thing is built and it’s a great big thing and we get all this business, but we lost 25 businesses in the process, it wasn’t worth it,” said Alex Barakos, who runs Pete’s Kitchen. Denon Moore, the business support director for the Colfax Ave Business Im-

provement District, said major construction has hurt businesses in other parts of town, too.

“If we look at the impacts that construction had on Broadway, there were losses,” Moore said. “And so I think some of it is inevitable.”

City o cials have defended the BRT vision — they say it will help Denver reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving road safety and mobility. “ is is something that needs to happen,” Councilmember Amanda Sawyer said in 2022.

BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of County Commissioners of Jefferson County, Colorado that the Policy 6.2.3 regarding Open Carrying of Firearms is hereby adopted with the following:

The open carrying of firearms is prohibited in designated County Buildings in the County’s Jurisdiction as follows:

A.Definitions

“County Building” means any public building, facility, grounds, or other property or specific area within or on any building, facility, or grounds, or other property owned or leased by Jefferson County for the use of its elected or appointed officials, divisions, agencies, or employees, and also those owned or leased by or for the use of the Treasurer, the District Attorney for the First Judicial District, the Jefferson County Public Library, or other related offices or agencies.

B. Prohibition on the Open Carrying of Firearms in Designated County Buildings within the County’s jurisdiction.

1. Through the adoption of this Ordinance, the Sheriff or his/her designee is given the authority pursuant to C.R.S. § 29-11.7-104 to designate any County Building within the County’s jurisdiction as an area in which the open carrying of firearms is prohibited. Prior to banning the open carrying of firearms in any County Building, the Sheriff shall conduct a vulnerability assessment of the building to determine whether the ban on open carrying of firearms would be appropriate in accordance with criteria established by the Procedure accompanying this Policy.

2. The Sheriff or their designee shall then notify the County Manager of their intent to designate a County Building as an area in which the open carrying of firearms is prohibited. Following a designation by the Sheriff or their designee, the County Manager or their designee will assure that the County Building is so designated in the Procedure accompanying this Policy and will have signs posted at the public entrances to the County Building informing the public that the open carrying of firearms is prohibited in that County Building. In May of each year, the Sheriff or their designee will review with the Board of County Commissioners information regarding the status of designated buildings, whether the designations remain appropriate and/or whether additional building should be designated, and any issues that have arisen under this Policy.

3. This prohibition shall not apply to peace officers in the performance of their duties.

4. The provisions of this Ordinance do not limit the County’s authority to enforce CRS § 18-12-105.3 concerning the prohibition of carrying a firearm in a sensitive space or CRS § 1-13-724 concerning the prohibition of carrying a firearm at a polling location or drop box.

C. Penalty Assessment

1. Violation of any provision of this Policy shall be a Class 1 Misdemeanor, and the penalty for a violation of any provision of this Policy shall be a fine of up to 364 days in jail, and/or up to $1000 in fines.

2. The Jefferson County Sheriff is further authorized to remove anyone from any County Building who is openly carrying a firearm in an area that has been posted as an area in which the open carrying of firearms is prohibited.

D.Procedure

All prosecutions for offenses under this Policy shall be by the District Attorney according to the applicable Colorado Rules of Criminal Procedure.

E.Severability Should any section, clause, sentence, or part of this Ordinance be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or invalid, the same shall not affect, impair or invalidate this Ordinance as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so declared to be invalid.

F. Public Health, Safety, and Welfare

The Board of County Commissioners hereby finds, determines and declares that this Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare.

“One of the biggest lifts that we have is to get with all eight counties to le cases to each of their expectations. is will also include establishing secure systems for eling and setting up protocols for writing probable cause a davits.”

On Jan. 6, the RTD-PD internally promoted Transit Police o cers Fabian Rodriguez to detective lieutenant and Brian Beary to detective on its force, according to the news release.

Rodriguez has served as an o cer for 27 years, with most of his career at the Adams County Sherri ’s O ce where he supervised general investigations and the North

CONSTRUCTION

lfax are more prepared than others

About two miles away from the construction zone, businesses in a starkly different side of Colfax watch intently to see how the BRT is going for their western counterparts. e project will be coming to their blocks imminently, with tra c cones already approaching Josephine.

Bookended by the Sie FilmCenter and Tattered Cover on one end and National Jewish Health on the other, this section of Colfax boasts nationally recognized restaurants, a summer farmer’s market, salons and a handful of independent thrift stores.

Some businesses in the area hope the makeup of these blocks will help them survive construction.

“I think we have probably a better chance of making it out alive during this

Metro Drug Task Force. Rodriguez’s career includes working with federal organizations such as the Federal Bureau of Investigations, Homeland Security Investigations and the Drug Enforcement Agency. Beary has served in law enforcement for 18 years. Prior to joining RTD-PD, he was a criminal investigator for the Colorado Department of Revenue for six years, the news release states.

A third detective, Craig Tangeman, joined the force on Jan. 21. Tangeman has worked in law enforcement for over 26 years, with 19 years dedicated to investigative operations for Arapahoe County Sheri ’s O ce. He has conducted federal and state investigations and managed over 200 police o cers, federal agents, and volunteers as part of proactive investigative operations, the news release states.

Chip Litherland, owner of punk rockthemed antiques shop Scavenged Goods, said he’s planning to grow his social media presence to counter any foot tra c declines.

“My customers are ercely loyal,” he said. “I have customers that come in every day. I have customers that travel from all over.”

Some on this side of Colfax, however, are not as prepared.

Phil Cardenas, who moved freeze-dried candy shop Mile High Sweets and Treats to Colfax from Central Park in late November, said he expects he’ll have to rely on event sales more than ever to make up for lost business from BRT.

Tangeman is experienced in conducting major case investigations having been assigned to the Metro Gang Task Force, the Safe Streets Fugitive Unit, and the Child Exploitation and Human Tra cking Task Force.

Cousineau who has worked for RTD-PD for almost two years, according to RTD.

In Cousineau’s 28 years working in law enforcement, 14 have been dedicated to supervisory and investigative functions, including working on narcotics task forces, supervising detectives, and overseeing investigations ranging from high-level misdemeanors to homicide crimes and internal a airs.

e agency is budgeted to add two more detectives to the department later in 2025, RTD says. e RTD-PD is also in the process of developing an evidence room to

al funds to support small businesses through a grant program. e Denver Economic Development and Opportunity o ce plans to open applications in March.

About $2.8 million was set aside in the city’s 2025 budget for grants, a gure that drew criticism from some city o cials for being too low.

e grants will compare at least 90 days of pre-construction revenue to revenue from the rst 90 days of construction and could award the di erence between the two. Businesses that sell cannabis are ineligible due to federal constraints.

e Colfax Avenue Business Improvement District is also fundraising for a micro-grant program.

“ is isn’t going to keep someone in business, but maybe it’s going to help, maybe $1,000 is going to help them cover their grocery costs for the week or some of their payroll, or it pays part of the rent to just hopefully ease something for a small moment,” Moore said.

follow the proper chain of custody to hold evidence needed to prosecute cases. Once established, this will mitigate reliance on other police agencies to retain evidence needed to prosecute criminal activity that occurred on RTD property.

e agency states in the news release that RTD-PD have taken deliberate strides to grow the force to better support community and employee safety as part of the agency’s “Welcoming Transit Environment” strategic initiative.

e RTD-PD force stands at approximately 90 o cers today and began the year with recruits in the police academy. e agency is budgeted for 150 sworn ofcers in 2025 – a signi cant growth from when the department had 19 o cers on the force in August 2019, the news release states.

Still, some business owners are worried the grants aren’t adequate, especially compared to the substantial money given during the pandemic.

“I’d rather go through Covid again just because of those two relief packages,” said Barakos of Pete’s Kitchen.

Kaifo, of Shish Kabob Grill, believes survival depends on whether businesses can rouse customers to support them — like they did in the pandemic. In 2020, customers would call them just to throw money at them.

“People were thinking that because they didn’t want to lose the places that they appreciate,” he said. “ ey were worried about them being lost in the pandemic.”

For Kaifo and others, COVID and BRT construction are a brutal set of blows in a relatively short period. And only time will tell if it’s a knockout.
