Colorado Gives Foundation provides extra $1.7 million after higher-than-expected requests
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Almost 200 Je erson County nonpro ts are starting autumn with a little more money in the bank.
Arvada’s Colorado Gives Foundation — formerly called the Community First Foundation — has awarded $5.7 million to nonpro ts across Jeffco, helping with food security, housing, workforce development and other causes.
According to a recent CGF press release, the organization initially planned to award $4 million, but grant requests totaled more than $8 million. So, the organization “found a way to do more and provide an additional $1.7 million in funding,” it stated.
CGF o cials added how they hope the grants would “support e orts that enhance quality of life for everyone in Je erson County.”
e $5.7 million was awarded across six focus areas:
• $2.5 million for health;
• $1.1 million for food security;
• $838,000 for housing;
• $623,700 for workforce development
• $345,500 for early care and education; and
• $208,000 for convenient neighborhood projects.
In total, 184 Je co nonpro ts will bene t, with some receiving grant funding across multiple focus areas. Several recipients described how the grant funding is exactly what they needed right now to expand or maintain their work to help Je co residents.
One example is the Golden-based CAG Food Pantry, which received a $15,000 CGF grant. at money directly translates to more food on the shelves and more clients served, Executive Director Britni LeRoux said.

“With this grant, we’ll be able to … serve more families and o er a greater variety of nutritious and culturally relevant options,” LeRoux continued. “ … Beyond the immediate impact, the grant will also strengthen our outreach and engagement e orts, enabling us to o er more comprehensive and responsive support to those who rely on us.”
Meanwhile, Center for the Arts Evergreen will use its $27,000 grant in 2025 to host a free after-school program for middle- and high school students. e funds will also go toward scholarships for next summer’s mural camp.
Executive Director Lisa Nierenberg said the after-school program will be one day a week for seven or eight weeks, ending with an exhibit of the students’ work. She said the students will be able to explore whatever medium they want as part of an “open studio concept.”
Nierenberg emphasized how this after-school program is so important because it’ll bring in students from all

Students from Conifer, Bailey and beyond can attend thanks to CAE’s new transit van, which Nierenberg said was purchased thanks to an anonymous donor. CAE will use the van to transport the students to and from their schools during the eight-week program.
“ e (grant money) we can use for the actual programming, so it works perfectly together,” she said of the CGF funds and the new van. “ … We’re so excited.”
If any students are interested in participating, Nierenberg encouraged them to call CAE at 303-674-0056 for more information.
Meanwhile, Friends of Dinosaur Ridge received an $80,000 CGF grant as part of the “convenient neighborhoods” category. e park site and museum — which is perfectly wedged between Golden, Lakewood and Morrison — welcomes thousands of visitors each year to learn about the area’s

Je Lamontagne, executive director of Friends of Dinosaur Ridge, said the $80,000 will go toward various endeavors, including:
• Scholarships for its summer camps and other educational programs;
• Providing guided tours for school groups at no cost to the students;
• Enhancing visitor and volunteer opportunities for seniors; and
• Protecting dinosaur fossils, footprints and other archeological resources.
“Colorado Gives Foundation’s investment in Friends of Dinosaur Ridge’s missions is helping one of the most iconic prehistoric sites in the world continue to be an easily accessed place for amazement and scienti c discovery in a welcoming and inclusive way,” he continued.

Visiting Other Countries This Year Gave Me New Insight on What’s Possible in Society
Tuesday evening Rita and I returned from completing our world tour. It took us from Los Angeles to Hawaii, French Polynesia, New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, South Africa, Senegal, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, France, England, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Greenland, and Canada. From Montreal, we drove through northern New England at peak foliage, before flying home from Boston on Tuesday. In addition to daily lectures by distinguished diplomats and professors, we went on shore excursions in each port, learning how life differs from country to country.
Crime rates, especially gun violence, is so much lower everywhere we visited, because gun ownership is so rare compared to America, where there are more guns than people.
Don’t Miss Saturday’s Green Homes Tour!
In Copenhagen, over 50 percent of workers commute by bicycle, helped by winters which are milder than in Denver. Montreal, however, is recognized as the most bicycle-friendly city in the world, with more separated bike lanes than Amsterdam.
Being a Realtor, I naturally was interested in how people were housed, and, being committed as I am to sustainable living and saving the planet from the ravages of climate change, I paid attention to how sustainable their energy grid is, and how water and waste are handled. As a longtime owner of EVs, I also noted whether the places we visited were more or less on board with the shift to EVs than here at home.
Altogether, Rita and I were away for over five months, with a 3½-month break back in Colorado this summer. I posted my observations every day at http://wherearejimandrita.substack.com. We were most impressed with the Scandinavian countries — Sweden, Denmark and Norway. As I reported on my blog, every bus and truck in those countries is equipped with an breathalyzer interlock device. The vehicle will not start without the driver proving through that device that he has zero alcohol in his bloodstream. That’s right, not below a legal limit but zero. Passenger cars don’t have such a device, but the penalties for driving with even a low alcohol level are severe. The result is a huge decline in alcohol-related accidents and deaths over the past decades.
Here in America we have photo radar units which generate speeding and red light tickets for drivers, but the tickets do not result in points against your license. In Sweden the secondary roads have photo radar units every few miles, and if you are captured on camera going more than 15 kilometers per hour over the speed limit, your driver’s license can be suspended. (Fortunately, even the rural highways have bus service.) On my blog you’ll find a video showing one of these roadside radar units. Here’s a screenshot from it:
As far as we could tell, homelessness was not a significant problem anywhere we visited, unlike in America. In Sweden and Norway, most middle-class people live in the city but have a summer cottage, so statistically there is more than one home per family overall.
Single-family homes are much rarer in these other countries. Most people either rent or own an apartment in a multi-family structure. In Montreal we were shown the six-family homes constructed following World War II to house returning soldiers. In America, the post-war pattern was set by Levittown: subdivisions of one-story homes, typically with a garage, made possible, of course, by all the empty land here.
Levittown is also famous for not selling to black soldiers, which brings up another observation. In one of the lectures we attended about why Scandinavians regularly ranked as the happiest people in the world, it was pointed out that those countries have no history of serfdom or indentured servants, as one of the reasons. There’s less ingrained fear among populations.
Regarding EVs, there was a vast disparity in the adoption rate of electric vehicles from country to country. In Norway, effective Jan. 1 of this year, every taxicab had to be an EV, and in Bergen all city buses and most tourist buses are electric. In Montreal, the EV adoption rate is similar to here, but the trucks and buses are all diesel and the street noise level is unpleasantly high.
I encourage you to check out my blog for other insights.

FORUM
Good governance and transparency e candidates addressed their thoughts on recent legislation passed by the 2024 Colorado legislature that limits government transparency. An amendment to the Colorado Open Meetings Law allows lawmakers to have private conversations through emails and texts and to discuss public business in small groups.
Titone said she supported the law, likening it to a football team having a huddle before a play.
“We have a team, and other people have a team. We need to be able to communicate with each other,” Titone said. “Is that going to be open all the time? It’s a di cult answer, and we may need to have more discussions about it.”
Feret and Daugherty said the law was out-of-date and needed to be updated. Both believe transparency is vital in government and that plenty of policies, like the Open Records Act, ensure the public has access to information.
On the other hand, Cox said that while he understood some changes needed to be made to update the law, he was disheartened by the bill’s passing. “If I were to pick between
striking deals behind closed doors, I would rather have it open to the public so they can digest it and make educated decisions,” Cox said.
Bandimere said he’s in favor of open communication and transparency.
ose running for commissioner addressed whether, based on a 2022 provision passed in Arvada, Je erson County elected o cials should also decide speci c administrative land use issues rather than leaving it to county sta .
Menten supports adopting a similar provision stating voters need to be able to trust that land use issues are decided by someone who repre-
sents them. Johnson and Zenzinger said it would depend on the question, and both would expect elected o cials and sta to work together and communicate openly.
Sustainable development and housing crisis
House candidates discussed a recent open house hosted by the Colorado Department of Transportation regarding a potential new rail station in Arvada and a rail line expansion through the county to provide service to Steamboat Springs and Craig and whether they support those plans.
Cox said he prefers to prioritize
maintaining and improving existing infrastructure, such as roads and is skeptical about the e ectiveness of rail systems in reducing congestion.
Feret supports multi-modal transportation, including passenger rail, citing safety and environmental bene ts. She also believes in creating more diverse housing options, such as townhomes and condos, to allow residents to downsize while staying in the community.
Titone also supports the mountain rail concept, noting the bene ts of reducing road congestion, improving safety, and meeting greenhouse gas reduction goals.
County Commissioner candidates each weighed in on balancing highdensity development while preserving semi-rural areas in Je erson County, focusing on transportation and housing policies.
Johnson strongly opposes the overreach of state interference in local matters and believes high-density housing is out of control. “I think we vote for things like transportation, which sounds great, but then years later, we get another bill that forces those high-density housing units within a mile radius of where we live,” Johnson said.
Zenzinger said she is also against a new state law, HB24-1313, requir-

Lakewood secures $5 million grant to cut building emissions
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Lakewood’s plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2025 recently received a significant boost from the U.S. Department of Energy through a $5 million grant. The city is one of 19 agencies to win the highly competitive grant, which mainly went to states or large metropolitan cities.
“This grant is transformational for the city,” Senior Sustainability Planner Jeff Wong said. “It will make a huge difference in lowering our emissions and growing the workforce to meet increased demand for positions like technicians, electricians, energy auditors and solar installers.”
The money will go to Lakewood’s Building Performance Program, which launched this summer.
The plan targets the city’s largest buildings, which contribute a high percentage of total emissions because of the large energy systems they use, like lighting and air conditioning units.
Wong said he believes Lakewood’s focus on addressing equity concerns when imposing updated emissions standards on building owners and investing in local workforce development through training and scholarships helped the city’s application stand out.
Building owners, especially those in low-income communities, may be unable to absorb large expenses, like HVAC systems, to improve their emissions rates. This burden can create a system where owners of the least efficient buildings are the most challenged when it comes to making upgrades and can end up displaced or driven out
of their neighborhoods.
Wong said the city is addressing these concerns on the front end and plans to offer technical assistance and financial incentives to building owners, especially those in low-income communities, to ensure that efficiency improvements do not increase energy burdens or reduce housing affordability.
“Residents in low-income communities deserve to live in healthy, efficient buildings, and we want them to take advantage of the benefits that will come from this performance program,” Wong said.
Lakewood is currently in the process of measuring existing emissions and setting reduction goals. Strategies for reducing that amount include voluntary incentives, programs, policies and yearly benchmarking of individ-
ual buildings’ energy use to track changes over time. According to an EPA study, building owners reduced their overall energy use by 7% when they reported their energy use for three years.
“Staff is evaluating the potential impact of implementing a citywide building benchmarking and performance program for commercial, multifamily and public buildings less than 50,000 square feet in gross floor area, with the minimum square footage to be determined,” the program’s website states.
Wong said Colorado has a building performance program targeting those greater than 50,000 square feet.
Residents can stay up-to-date, provide feedback or ask questions about the program through the Lakewood Together website.

Colorado workers have questions about paid family and medical leave.
Here’s what you need to know.
Colorado’s Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program allows eligible Colorado workers to get up to 12 weeks of paid time off each year.
By Tracy Marshall
(DENVER) – Coloradans no longer have to choose between caring for themselves and paying the bills.
The new Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program gives Colorado workers pay replacement when they need to step away from their jobs to care for themselves or a family member.
It’s a benefit available to almost everyone who earned at least $2,500 in Colorado in roughly the last year – including self-employed and gig workers. Workers in Colorado can now get up to 12 weeks of partial pay replacement per year after certain life events, such as the birth of a child or a serious medical condition.
But many Coloradans don’t know about this new benefit and how to get it. Here’s a quick overview, so you know that when life happens, FAMLI has you covered.
Where did FAMLI come from?
Colorado voters approved FAMLI in 2020. We’re actually the first state in the country to enact paid family and medical leave through a ballot initiative.
How does it work?
Employers and employees in Colorado
have been paying into the FAMLI program since January of 2023. Premiums are set to 0.9% of the employee’s wage, with 0.45% paid by the employer and 0.45% paid by the employee.
Nearly every Colorado employer is required to comply with the FAMLI Act’s requirements – by either participating in the state program or providing a private plan of equal or greater benefit.
Only local governments have the option to vote to opt out of participating in the program. (Employees of opted-out local governments can still participate if they wish; they simply agree to pay the employee portion of the premium for three years.) Federal employers and some railroad employers are fully exempt from the program.
Family and medical leave isn’t new – the national Family and Medical Leave Act, which took effect in 1993, grants 12 weeks of job-protected leave for many. But it’s unpaid leave and excludes many part-time workers, workers at small-sized businesses and those who have worked less than 12 months.
What life events make someone eligible for paid leave?
Colorado’s FAMLI program covers workers who need to temporarily step away from work for the following reasons:
• Bonding with a new child (including adoptions and foster care/kinship care placements)
•Managing a serious health condition
• Caring for a family member with a serious health condition
• Making arrangements because of a military deployment
• Dealing with the immediate needs and impacts from domestic partner violence, sexual assault or stalking.
How much does FAMLI pay?
Employees can receive up to 90% of their wages, based on a sliding scale. So if you make $500 a week, your FAMLI benefit would be $450 a week. Benefits are capped at $1,100 per week.
This cap is proportional to the average weekly wage for Colorado and may increase over time. We have a calculator on our website (famli.colorado.gov) to help families get a rough estimate of both their paycheck deductions and potential benefit payments.
What if
my employer won’t let me go?
Colorado voters made sure that employers can’t fire people just because they need to
take FAMLI leave. The law prohibits employers from interfering with your right to take paid medical leave, and it says they have to keep your information confidential.
Even better, the law includes important job protections that kick in after you’ve worked somewhere for 180 days, or roughly six months. After that, employers are required to reinstate workers on FAMLI leave to the jobs they had before (with some exceptions, such as seasonal work that was scheduled to wind down anyway.)
We’ve got lots of resources on our website to explain exactly how FAMLI job protection works.
What are my next steps?
Supporting Colorado workers who need FAMLI leave is our passion. You can file your claim online, with lots of how-to guides and videos to help you through the process.
For personalized assistance, you can call us any weekday between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. at 1-866-CO-FAMLI (1-866-263-2654).

sized the challenge of building reservoirs in areas where communities don’t want them and said thorough studies should be made before committing to major projects.
Zenzinger, Menten and Johnson then shared their views on developing and preserving integrated trail systems. Each supported the bene ts trails provide but had di erent priorities regarding their funding.
Menten believes implementing a property tax volunteer credit system would incentivize residents to volunteer time in exchange for property tax reductions to help fund and maintain trail expansions.
“Our open space is the Crown Jewel of Je erson County,” Zenzinger said. “We have a separate tax that goes to support our open space, and when you have trails interacting with our
County Commissioner District 1 candidate Rachel ZenzingerHouse and District 27 candidate Rep. Brianna Titone.
open spaces, it’s important to have a robust, connected system.”
Zenzinger said she would advocate for stronger zoning regulations and recommends meeting with developers to set aside land for trails.
Cox said the county should prioritize roads over bike lanes and trails.
“Once we have our roads xed, we can talk about bike lanes,” Cox said. He also said they must be safe to use at night.
Property tax and government finance
Regarding the ever-growing cost of living, Daughtery emphasized her work in a recent bipartisan special session that cut property taxes by $255 million for residents and businesses.
She explained that the special session was necessary to prevent ballot initiatives that could have harmed schools and essential services.
By contrast, Bandimere questioned the need for a special session and suggested that tax relief should have been handled during the regular session. Drawing from his experience as an entrepreneur, Bandimere emphasized the importance of managing government nances e ectively to address economic challenges.
When asked about a 2024 state law meant to curb abuses by Metropolitan Districts and HOAs that
lead to home foreclosures over small amounts of unpaid fees and if they would take further steps to regulate them, Bandimere said no.
“When you buy a home, you know whether it’s in an HOA or not,” Bandimere said. “ at’s a personal choice.”
Daugherty said that with limited housing options, not everyone has a choice but to live in an HOA-free community. She believes the most signi cant issue is transparency, and the solution for these organizations is to communicate where they spend money and how they make decisions.
House candidates addressed the passage of a deal during the recent special session that limited the property tax rate. While it does back ll a signi cant amount for school districts and nearly 100% for some re, ambulance and water districts, it doesn’t back ll all special governments.
Titone said she was concerned about the impact on re districts, which she believes are most impacted.
“We want to make sure our re departments are prepared with the best resources and re equipment we can to protect our homes, property, and lives,” Titone said. “So I’ll be working on a policy to alleviate some of that.”
While acknowledging the challenges municipalities and local entities face due to reduced revenue, Cox emphasized that the government should control spending, highlighting that government expenditures have risen signi cantly in recent years.
Feret suggested that savings from improving Medicaid could be reallocated to alleviate property tax burdens. She emphasized the importance of reviewing state expenditures, particularly in healthcare and
reallocating funds to other critical areas.
Civil discourse and voter participation County Commissioner candidates discussed their views on ensuring community input in land use code development, particularly in light of delays over the Together Je co project and the need for transparency.
Zenzinger said these decisions must be made locally and involve the public while acknowledging that the Together Je co project will likely be completed before new commissioners take o ce. If it limits citizen participation, she said she would work to address that.
Menten expressed concerns about
using private consultants in county decisions, noting that it often removes the decision-making process from the community and those re-
sponsible for hearing citizens’ input. Johnson said he prefers greater community engagement rather than relying heavily on expensive
consultants and that local government should focus on listening to residents and act accordingly.
Regarding promoting respectful discourse, challenges to our democracy, balanced stewardship and bipartisan solutions, Bandimere said that the U.S. is a republic, not a democracy, based on Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution.
His priority as a state senator would be to bring more openness to government operations to foster support and engagement from the public.
Daugherty re ected on the challenges of maintaining decorum and respect in the political environment, particularly over the last four years. She emphasized the importance of seeing people as humans rst, nding common ground, and fostering bipartisan collaboration to create meaningful policy.
For me, every election is about community power — the power we hold when we come together. Our vote is that power. This is my fourth election now as your Jefferson County Clerk, and what I’ve come to learn about our community is thatwe cherish and protect the power of our vote, not because we have to, but because it’s who we are.
Let me explain. In the last presidential election, the U.S. had a record voter turnout of 66%. Here, however, about 90% of you voted. Jeffco, when the ballot box is open, you show up.
Around the country, election offices are scrambling to fill their hundreds or thousands of temporary worker roles. But not here. Because when we needed to hire 900 election workers, thousands of you applied. I used to run the state’s largest nonpartisan election protection effort, and I learned a lot about what it looks like when voters care about and are engaged in their democracy. A clear sign is whether they’re asking questions. Not just easy ones, like where and when, but harder ones, like why and how. Over the past year, you’ve sent us thousands
It was intriguing to listen to two friends jocularly engage in an exchange about being opinionated. While their back-and-forth was in context of their discussion group, I was hearing it through a philosophical sense. Like what is an opinion? Why have one? When should it be shared? And more.
Someone once asserted that opinions are like personal atulence: Everyone has them and they all stink except one’s own. Of course, that’s an opinion since the assertion hasn’t been — thankfully — empirically tested.
Essentially, an opinion is a person’s interpretation of information. It could

of messages and questions, and several hundred of you have come out and toured our facilities to make sure you understand the election process.
Our elections are in good hands because they’re in your hands.
As Clerk, I’m committed to free and fair elections, ensuring that every eligible voter has the opportunity to cast their vote and have it counted. And when you show up, we’ll show up for you. Here’s how we’ll protect:
Your right to vote: If you’re eligible, you can vote. If you’re 18, a Colorado resident for at least 22 days, a US citizen, and are not currently serving a felony sentence in jail or prison, you are eligible. And you can register right up to and including on Election Day.
Your ballot: From drop boxes to vote centers, every ballot is protected by layers of security, from our bipartisan teams of workers to video surveillance to chains of custody. We account for every ballot from
when it’s cast through Election Day and for 25 months after each election.
Voter rolls:We conduct near-daily maintenance to update voter lists with data from official sources and meticulously match signatures on ballot envelopes to those we have on file. If there’s any question about whether it’s you who signed your envelope, we’ll reach out. We also work with the District Attorney to investigate, and prosecute if necessary, anything flagged for review.
Your vote: Our machines are tested by party representatives before every election to ensure they’re counting accurately. They’re never connected to the internet, kept in a restricted area, and are under constant surveillance. We audit the results after every single election to ensure accuracy.
Elections are a community effort. They’re powered by your neighbors, friends, the customers at your grocery store, the hikers you wave at on the trail, and the people you sit next to in church. Every ballot is handled with care by people like you who believe in fairness and transparency. It can be easy to feel anxious about elections. You may hear things that

We’re here to earn that trust by making our elections as open to your examination as we possibly can. Whether the results go the way you want them to or not, I want you to feel confident we got them right.
We’re prepared for this election. While we don’t expect any interference, we’ve got generators to keep operations running smoothly during a power outage, protocols for addressing mystery substances returned in ballot envelopes, election workers trained to de-escalate confrontations, law enforcement partners briefed and ready to support us, and more.
At the end of the day, our elections are about shaping our future, together. So let’s show up for each other. Let’s trust our process, our neighbors, and the collective power of our voices.

be about food, religion, social-political issues and a host of others. Opinion is not about truth, which resides in an elevated place. Instead, opinion is common, pedestrian.
With regard to everyone having an opinion, I’ve learned that’s not necessarily the case. I’ve talked with people who won’t take a stance — express an opinion — about substantive issues, despite them o ering one about the social-political envi-
ronment in their defense. Ironically, they generally consider themselves to be good citizens. Seriously? Publicly expressing an opinion is a recent phenomenon. Prior to the Enlightenment, people almost always lived under tyrannies. Whether in state ones like emperors, kings, and caliphs or ecclesiastical ones like popes, bishops, and ayatollahs, the ruler’s word was law. Other than in the Greek citystates where democracy ourished and Rome where the republican form of government was devised, expressing an opinion could be a dangerous enterprise. It didn’t become safe until the post-Guttenberg (printing press), post-Reformation era. Even then,
expressing an opinion often resulted in unpleasantries, like being excommunicated, burned at the stake, or stretched on a rack by Torquemada, the Spanish Inquisitor. By the late seventeenth century, most notably in England and the Dutch Republic, it was becoming safer to express an opinion, albeit within certain bounds. It wouldn’t become part of the American ethos, however, until decades later, primarily because of the people we celebrate at anksgiving —the Puritans at Plymouth Rock — who were as tyrannical as the authorities they ed.

It’s good we’re periodically reminded about our rights delineated in the Declaration of Independence: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness among them. But it’s also important to be reminded that with rights comes responsibility, especially during election season. Like being informed, thoughtfully forming an opinion, and expressing it in a variety of ways, from engaging in constructive debate or intelligent conversation — not a shouting match — to writing a letter to the editor.
Prior to forming and expressing an opinion, it’s good practice to research and build a credible, fact-based case about why you believe such and such so you can explain your positions without embarrassing yourself. Another is to trace your past to understand how and why your point of view evolved to what it is now. e reason is an opinion is not based solely on recently acquired information. It’s an outcome of a lifetime of experiences.
e foundation of democracy is an educated, informed, involved citizenry. It’s the reason omas Je erson and crew worked to establish public schools where critical thinking skills could be taught, and the early twentieth-century reformers enacted compulsory attendance laws for children. (Plus, to keep them out of the coal mines and factories.)
You’d think that given the history of tyrannical governance, the current oppressive tyrannies in Russia, Iran, and elsewhere, and our history of courageous individuals, like omas Paine

whose “Common Sense” propelled the irteen Colonies toward independence, Americans would value and protect their right to express an opinion. But that’s often not the case anymore. A new form of tyranny has taken hold over the past decade: Selfenforced silence when it comes to a healthy exchange of ideas in the public square. Many have become fearful of speaking their minds outside their bubble. at’s frightening and dangerous.
Although freely expressing an opinion had an inauspicious beginning in America, it’s become and remains the American way. Our democracy depends on citizens having conversations not just about which team will win the Super Bowl but also about issues like immigration, reproductive and voting rights, and whether we value our democracy so much that we’re willing to put ourselves on the line by voicing our opinions publicly and forthrightly.
Try it. You might ru e a few feathers, but you might also prompt another to reconsider an untenable position. And in the process, maybe make a new friend.
My friends’ back-and-forth was, of course, in context of the standard meaning of opinionated, which means being stridently vocal about one’s point of view. But it made me wonder about which is worse: being opinionated or not speaking one’s mind at all.
When my friends’ exchange waned, I chimed in with, “You know, I wish more people were opinionated.”
But that’s just my opinion.

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Jace, a four-year-old terrier mix, could barely contain his excitement inside the shop of the Dumb Friends League shelter as his new family stocked up on supplies for him.
Denver residents Eliorah Abramowitz and Azi Hanssen said they came to the shelter looking for an older, but still energetic dog that would be as happy chilling on the couch as playing fetch at the park.
After meeting with a few dogs, Abramowitz and Hanssen said they were drawn to Jace.
“It was just a perfect match,” Abramowitz said.
Similarly for Sandra Brande and her daughter Ashley, who live in Centennial, they quickly fell in love with the wiggly Husky puppy Laika. e Brande family knew they wanted to adopt because they found their Husky Daisy at the shelter two years ago and have loved her presence in the family ever since.
“ ere are so many animals who need loving homes,” Sandra said as Laike squirmed in Ashley’s arms. “It’s so nice to have the liveliness in the house that a pet brings.” at sentiment was echoed by many new pet parents and sta at the Dumb Friends League, an animal shelter with locations in Denver, Castle Rock and Alamosa.
“It’s always hard to say who rescued who,” said volunteer Michelle Schneider, of Highlands Ranch. Jace and Laika are some of the hundreds of lucky pets to nd families through the Dumb Friends League during its month-long Clear the Shelter
campaign, which wrapped up on Sept. 10.
Alyssa Putzer, communications manager for the Dumb Friends League, said 1,161 animals were adopted during the Clear the Shelter count, surpassing the shelter’s original goal of adopting out 1,000 pets across its three locations.
Mary Sarah Fairweather, vice president of operations at the Dumb Friends League, said participating in the Clear the Shelter campaign helps the shelter not only nd homes for pets but also care for more animals.
“Clear the Shelters is an amazing opportunity to showcase the wonderful pets in our care,” she said. “With ongoing challenges like overcrowding in shelters, this event is an essential opportunity for our community to connect with animals that are ready to bring joy and companionship into their lives.”
Even with all of the adoptions in the last month, the Clear the Shelters campaign only accounts for a fraction of the adoptions that Dumb Friends League facilitates year-round. Last year, the shelters brought in over 20,500 animals and are on pace to serve a similar amount this year, Fairweather said.
Dogs, cats and small animals, like guinea pigs and bunnies, come to the shelter as surrenders or strays and 86% are rehomed.
“ ey come to us from the community, owners who can’t keep their pets, and as strays,” Fairweather said.
Most animals stay at the shelter for an average of 10-15 days, heading to new homes as soon as sta can help pair them with the right family. Fairweather said another bene t of the Clear the Shelters campaign is that it helps animals who have been at the shelter longer or require special care get adopted.
Fairweather said the adoption process is like dating with the goal being to nd the “perfect match.”
“It’s really a conversation-based process, so we want to get to know what the families are looking for and we share what each individual animal needs,” she said.
In order to encourage as many adoptions as possible, Fairweather said the shelter looks to reduce barriers to pet ownership like cost or lack of resources.
All of the dogs and cats that are adopted out are vaccinated and spayed or neutered. e Dumb Friends League also partners with some local veterinarians to waive the cost for the rst visit, as well as Fetch Pet Insurance to provide health care support for furry friends.
Another resource the shelter o ers is a free behavioral helpline to support pet parents through training or care adjustments.
“Our goal is to help pet owners keep their pets at home and out of the shelter,” Fairweather said. “We’re lucky to have such beautiful facilities with a team of volunteers and sta who take incredible care of (the animals), but it’s not a home.”
With the current overcrowding in shelters, Fairweather said it’s more important than ever to adopt animals instead of turning to a breeder.
“It gives pets in the shelter system a second chance,” she said. “Whether you’re looking for a little guinea pig or a giant couch potato dog, there’s somebody for everybody.”
Richard Myers, of Denver, said he volunteers at the shelter because it’s like working in a “bubble of love.” “ ere’s so much care for the patrons and for the animals,” Myers said. “One of the greatest joys of working here is having someone come in who looks sad, maybe they lost a pet a few months ago, and 45 minutes later, they’re going out the door with a pep in their step and the dog is looking like a newly caught marlin, jumping around so much.”
Sandra and Ashley Brande, of Centennial, cuddle their new puppy Laika, who they adopted at the Dumb Friends League shelter. This is the second dog the Brande family has adopted from the shelter.

Arvada Center reimagines the classic tale of ‘Dracula’
‘This is one of those Halloween, over-the-top, ridiculous bloody shows’
BY LILLIAN FUGLEI SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
e Arvada Center is bringing a spooky story to the stage just in time for Halloween. Filled with vampires and vampire hunters, “Dracula” is mostly made up of one thing: men. However, that won’t be the case on stage.
“Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really” o ers a twist on the classic tale, with several characters — such as Ren eld and Van Helsing — played by women. e show reimagines Dracula’s story, with women at the center of the ght against him.
“I think that borrows a little bit of like Bu y the Vampire Slayer vibes,” said Jessica Austgen, who plays Rein eld. “We now have these women kicking ass and beating the bad guy.”
While Ren eld and Van Helsing are now women, women from the original story — Mina Harker and Lucy Westenra — also get to step into the spotlight.
“(Women) are there to be pretty and be safe, to give the men something to love and ght for, and somebody to rescue,” said Austgen, referencing the original story. “In this show, Van Helsing, aided by Nina, now does a lot of the rescuing. I think giving those folks power to complete the mission of defeating Dracula, it’s really impactful to see that.”
“Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really” places women front and center in the ght against Dracula. However, it’s still the same story, and it’s lled with plenty of blood.
According to costume designer Clare Henkel, the show’s bloodiness proved to be its own challenge.
“Sometimes the blood is coming out of somebody’s mouth, so it has to be edible,” Henkel said. “Other times it’s fresh. Dried blood looks di erent than fresh blood.”
For Henkel and the rest of the creative team, blood posed a special challenge because it was used in so many di erent ways throughout the show.
“We have charts, we have graphs,” Henkel said. “We’ve tested blood on all these di erent fabrics. It’s a lot.”
Preparations for the show even included a “blood rehearsal” — a special rehearsal before the dress rehearsal where all the blood-related e ects were practiced.
“ is is one of those Halloween, over-the-top, ridiculous bloody shows,” Austgen said.
While the show makes some changes to the classic “Dracula” tale, it’s still the same story.
“You’ll get the whole ‘Dracula’ story, all of that,” Henkel said. “It’s very bloody. It’s really scary, but it’s also very funny. So it’s, got something for everyone. It’s just really fun.”
For patrons who may be wary of the show’s title, Austgen says not to worry.
“I think some people are immediately put o when they see the word ‘feminist’ because they think it’s going to be uptight and no fun and male

bashing,” Austgen said. “But our version isn’t that. If you like Bu y the Vampire Slayer or True Blood, where you can have all of these kick-ass men and women, this is the show for you. is is not a lecture. is is an adventure.”

OZONE
Monitors watching the nine Front Range counties in Colorado’s “nonattainment” area for toxic ozone recorded violations of the EPA’s 2008 cap of 75 parts per billion on 22 summer days, according to the Regional Air Quality Council. e monitors showed exceedances of the tighter 2015 EPA standard of 70 parts per billion on 18 days.
Together, the 40 violation days were higher than totals in eight of the past 10 summer seasons, RAQC said.
Colorado must bring average ozone levels below both the 2008 and 2015 standards in the next few years, or face increasing restrictions from EPA sanctions. e northern Front Range counties have already been forced to use more expensive reformulated gasoline that has lower emissions, and Colorado Air Pollution Control o cials must now write permits for any business projected to exceed 25 tons of emissions a year, down from the previous threshold of 50 tons per year. Some recent regulations have yet to fully impact high ozone levels and need a chance to work, said RAQC spokesperson David Sabados. But policymakers cannot rest on past actions, he added — new sets of rules are needed to reverse the rising ozone trend of the past few years.
“ ere’s more that needs to get done, and we can’t just rely on
what’s already passed getting fully implemented. We need to be looking at other options as well,” Sabados said.
e rst two recommendations from the RAQC’s season wrapup would demand new cuts from the Colorado oil and gas industry, one of the biggest in the nation. Ozone is created from a mix of volatile organic compounds from petroleum and other sources, nitrogen oxides from industrial and vehicle sources, and particulates like wild re smoke, all cooking under 90 degree-plus summer skies.
While the state oil and gas industry is subject to a number of new rules from recent years, more ozone could be taken out by requiring producers to recapture pollutants during so-called “blowdown” events where wellheads are cleared of methane and other residue, the RAQC report said.
e industry should also be required to overhaul “antiquated” pneumatic equipment that vents pollutants to the atmosphere from well sites and pipeline gathering sites. ose emissions can be recaptured, RAQC says.
Another recommendation previously pushed by the EPA and which should be revisited by Colorado o cials includes cutting “indirect sources” of emissions, such as vehicle tra c centered on growing warehouse operations, distribution centers and large entertainment or sports venues.
Smoke from wild res in Colorado and elsewhere in the West has also made the state problem worse in
recent summers, Sabados said, but the monitors show that on most of the bad smoke days, ozone created by other controllable sources would still have put readings above the 70 or 75 ppb caps.
“Wild re smoke cannot be a scapegoat explanation,” the RAQC summary said.
Legislators are looking at new bills for the 2025 session to help cut ozone, and RAQC and the Air Quality Control Commission also have new potential policies and rules on their fall calendars, Sabados said.
“We thought it was important to send this out now,” he said.
e violations are warnings of further crackdowns by the federal government, and of ongoing health problems in disproportionately impacted minority and lower-income communities, said Ean Tafoya, director of Colorado GreenLatinos.
Tafoya is in Washington, D.C., this week, and in a meeting with Secretary of Health and Human Services
Xavier Becerra noted the high copays for asthma- ghting medicine in communities with high illness rates.
“It’s very challenging for our community,” Tafoya said.
A spokesperson for American Petroleum Institute-Colorado said they could not o er new comments about potential regulations, but pointed to past statements that the industry is complying with a host of new emissions control rules imposed by the Air Quality Control Commission and the Energy and Carbon Management Commission. e trade group has also argued that because of recent regulation, the energy produced from Colorado comes with fewer emissions than that produced in other states.

CCU takes down Mines volleyball 3-1 as conference play begins
Orediggers,
Cougars have Oct. 5 rematch at Mines
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN
rough the rst three sets, the Colorado School of Mines volleyball players must’ve felt a bit like they were playing their doppelgängers in the Colorado Christian University Cougars.
e teams seemed evenly matched with similar playing styles during the Sept. 21 game at CCU. e Orediggers won the rst set 25-23, while the Cougars took the next two 25-21 each. However, the di erences between them became more prominent in the fourth set, as the Cougars scored eight straight points on the Orediggers and won the set 25-11.
“ ey’re very similar to us, so it’s kind of like playing ourselves,” Mines junior libero Jada Price said. “Even in practice, I feel like I’m playing them.”
With the 4-1 home win on Sept. 21, CCU advanced to 6-4 overall and 1-1 in conference play, having lost to MSU Denver 3-0 the previous night.
Additionally, CCU senior setter Izzy Jones had 53 assists during the Sept. 21 match, becoming the fourth setter in program history to reach 3,000 career assists. e Orediggers, who were 4-6 overall and 1-1 in conference play going into their Sept. 27-28 Homecoming weekend matches, will have a chance at revenge soon.
Mines hosts CCU at 5 p.m. Oct. 5 for the RMAC Regional Pod. e teams also play again on Halloween night at CCU.

12 leaf-peeping hikes to make the most of fall colors while you can
Where hikers find the best foliage in Colorado
BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It is o cially fall, and in Colorado, that’s when the state truly shows o its full array of mountain beauty. Hikers, drivers and mountain bikers can enjoy eye-popping fall foliage without trekking too far from the metro area, but others travel deep into the Centennial State for those eeting red and golden leaves. Many meteorologists feared recent cold and rainy weather would knock o most of the colors, but scores of them survived and are just waiting to be ogled if you know where to go. at’s why we at Colorado Community Media put together a list of some of the most rewarding hiking experiences for autumn sentimentalists.
As weekend adventurers hit the mountains after the work week, trafc is sure to pile up. So if you can, try one of these stunning hikes during the week, or at least get up early to beat the morning weekend crowd.
Here are 12 hikes to show o the state’s best autumn colors. Some may require a bit of a road trip, but most are easy day hikes not far from the metro area. Sometimes, you just
have to get out there.
AllTrails.com provides all trail stats listed below. Remember that terms like “easy,” “moderate” and “hard” are subjective and depend on your judgment, experience, stamina and more.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO, AMENDING SECTION 4.94.120 OF THE GOLDEN MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING OPERATIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON MARIJUANA LICENSING
WHEREAS, the City of Golden, Colorado, (“Golden” or the “City”), is a home rule municipality, organized and existing under Article XX, Section 6 of the Colorado Constitution; and WHEREAS, pursuant to its home rule authority, Sections 2.2 and 3.3 of the City’s Charter, and Article 15, Title 31 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, the City is authorized to regulate businesses and to adopt and enforce all regulations that may be necessary or expedient for promoting the public health, safety, convenience, and the general welfare of the community; and WHEREAS, Section 16 of Article XVIII of the Colorado Constitution and Article 10, Title 44 of the Colorado Revised Statutes authorize the sale of marijuana, marijuana products, and marijuana accessories at retail locations for personal use by persons twenty-one years of age or older, subject to state and local regulations; and
WHEREAS, the regulations that established Golden’s marijuana licensing rules were adopted by Ordinance 2183 in 2022, following the results of a ballot question that was approved by Golden voters to allow a limited number of retail marijuana stores in Golden; and
WHEREAS, following the adoption of these marijuana licensing regulations, there have been questions related to Section 4.94.120 of the Golden Municipal Code, specifically “Signs and Advertising” that warrant further clarity; and WHEREAS, Section 4.94.120 of the Golden Municipal Code sets forth the City’s operational restrictions for marijuana licensing (“GMC 4.94.120”); and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to clarify the existing operational restrictions for marijuana store advertising for marijuana licensees, the City, and the public, by striking an appropriate balance between protecting the public health, safety, general welfare of the community and enabling the economic vitality of marijuana stores; and
WHEREAS, the proposed changes to GMC 4.94.120 in Ordinance 2245 are targeted amendments intended to clarify the signage and advertising rules associated with the original marijuana licensing ordinance adopted in 2022. The proposed changes are consistent with staff’s enforcement of these regulations to date but provide greater certainty to the businesses and the public, as well as staff.
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments clarify issues related to advertising: (1) the definition of public place; (2) that unsolicited direct mail advertisements are prohibited; (3) that signs on the same building as the marijuana store may use both the name of the store and words and symbols that represent marijuana, such as the word “dispensary” or the green cross symbol; (4) that off-site signs may use the name of the store, but no other additional words or symbols that represent marijuana; and (5) that business listings may include the name, location, and contact information of marijuana stores; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the proposed amendments to GMC 4.94.120 and has determined that such changes are in the best interest of the public health, safety, and welfare and desire to adopt the same.
THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO: Section
Section 2. Section 4.94.120 of the Golden Municipal Code, “Operation restrictions”, is hereby amended to read as follows, with additions shown in underlined and deletions shown in strikethrough:
CHAPTER 4.94 – REGULATED MARIJUANA LICENSING
4.94.120 – Operation restrictions […]
(p)Signs and advertising.
(1) Any person or premises licensed as a regulated marijuana store shall comply with all city ordinances regulating signs and advertising. In addition, no regulated marijuana store shall use any advertising material that is misleading, deceptive, false, or that, as evidenced either by the content of the advertising material or the medium or the manner in which the advertising is disseminated, is designed to appeal to persons under 18 years of age.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, it shall be unlawful for any person licensed under this chapter or any other person to advertise any regulated marijuana or regulated marijuana product anywhere in the city where the advertisement is visible to members of the public from any street, sidewalk, park, or other public place as defined in section 8.04.100, including advertising utilizing any of the following media: Any billboard or other outdoor general advertising device; any sign mounted on a vehicle, any hand-held or other portable sign; or any handbill, leaflet, or flier directly handed to any person in a public place, left upon a motor vehicle, or posted upon any public or private property without the consent of the property owner; or unsolicited direct mail advertisements. The prohibition set forth in this section shall not apply to:
a. Any sign located on a building that contains a regulated marijuana store which exists solely for the purpose of identifying the location of the regulated marijuana store and which otherwise complies with the city's zoning requirements and any other applicable city laws and regulations. Signs located on the building may use words and symbols that represent marijuana, such as the word “dispensary” or the image of a green cross; or
b. Any sign associated with a regulated marijuana store that is not located on the same building as the store, such as on-site directional signs, monument signs associated with a commercial development, or off-site signs located on private property, so long as the sign displays only the name of the store, but no other words or symbols that represent marijuana; or
c. Any advertisement contained within a newspaper, magazine, or other periodical of general circulation within the city; or
d.. Advertising which is purely incidental to sponsorship of a charitable event by a regulated marijuana store; or
e. Advertising such as business listings displayed on websites, brochures and directories which are controlled by entities other than the regulated marijuana store and which provide the name, location, and contact information of the store, but no other words or symbols that represent marijuana.
(3) For purposes of this subsection (p), the terms "advertise," "advertising," or "advertisement," mean the act of drawing the public's attention to a regulated marijuana store in order to promote the sale of regulated marijuana or regulated marijuana products by the store. […]
Section 3. If any article, section, paragraph sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is held to be unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such decision will not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each part or parts hereof irrespective of the fact that any one part or parts be declared unconstitutional or invalid.
Section 4. All other ordinances or portions thereof inconsistent or conflicting with this ordinance or any portion hereof are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.
Section 5. The repeal or modification of any provision of the Municipal Code of the City of Golden by this ordinance shall not release, extinguish, alter, modify or change in whole or in
part any penalty, forfeiture or liability, either civil or criminal, which shall have been incurred under such provision. Each provision shall be treated and held as still remaining in force for the purpose of sustaining any and all proper actions, suits, proceedings and prosecutions for enforcement of the penalty, forfeiture or liability, as well as for the purpose of sustaining any judgment, decree or order which can or may be rendered, entered or made in such actions, suits, proceedings or prosecutions.
Section 6. This ordinance is deemed necessary for the protection of the health, welfare and safety of the community.
Section 7. The codifier of the City’s Municipal Code, Municode, is hereby authorized to make such numerical and formatting changes as may be necessary to incorporate the provisions of this ordinance within the Golden Municipal Code.
Section 8. Violations of this ordinance shall be punishable in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.01.110 of the Golden Municipal Code.

Regardless of where you chase the changing leaves this fall, be safe and be on top of the latest forecasts. Get out there before it’s gone!
