Advocates push for full funding of Colorado’s Healthy School Meals for All program
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Parents, students, school nutrition professionals, farmers and community advocates recently gathered in Lakewood to push for the continued funding and full implementation of Colorado’s Healthy School Meals for All program.
“We decided to have our event here (in Lakewood) because it’s the heart of the Je co school district, and it’s where the Je erson Healthy Food Pilot program began,” said Erica Cervantes, Director of Organizing and Community Partnerships for Hunger Free Colorado. Launched after the passage of Proposition FF in 2022, Cervantes said the program has already made a signi cant impact by providing over 600,000 free meals to students, reducing the stigma around free lunches and supporting local economies.
But amid rising food costs and growing participation, advocates say more funding is urgently needed to sustain the program. According to Chalkbeat, while Proposition FF raised more than $100 million to provide free meals for students, there was a $56 million shortfall last year.
ese advocates are calling on state lawmakers to step in during the 2025 General Assembly to ensure the program can continue to feed students, support school cafeteria sta and provide schools with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
A call for community-driven solutions “ is assembly is important because we are the voice of our children and we are part of the community,” said Paola Carreño, a mother and part of the Jefferson Food Pilot Council.

Take a moment to revisit the events that mattered most, the people who made a di erence and the lasting impact 2024 will leave on our community. ese are the stories you’ll be talking about for years to come.
In late July, as Deer Creek residents were settling in for the night, a spark lit by an unknown source quickly ignited a wild re that would eventually burn close to 600 acres. e Quarry re forced the evacuation of hundreds of homes, leading residents to seek shelter with friends and family, nearby hotels or a Je co high school set up as an emergency shelter.

Meanwhile, Je erson County voters decisively approved ballot measure 1A, allowing the county to retain excess revenues from taxes, eliminating the cap set by the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. Supporters argued it would sustain essential services like public safety, mental health and infrastructure.
Casa Bonita
Few stories capture reader interest quite like Casa Bonita, and 2024 was no exception. is year, the iconic Lakewood restaurant, known for its cli divers, quirky charm and nostalgia-fueled dining experience, announced it would nally begin taking reservations, marking a major shift for the beloved establishment, nicknamed the “Disneyland of Mexican restaurants.”
After extensive renovations under its new ownership, Casa Bonita’s decision to open reservations signaled a fresh chapter for the cultural landmark. Fans eagerly awaited the chance to secure their spot, as anticipation for its grand reopening had been building for months.
Je
co Public Schools: Closures, sales and calls for accountability
In November, the Je co School Board moved to approve the sale of three closed schools, generating nearly $9 million. e decision followed earlier closures intended to address declining enrollment. Ofcials framed the move as a way to repurpose underused properties while easing budget pressures.
Despite the closures, district leaders declared in May that no additional schools would be shut down. Instead, they committed to exploring alternative measures to balance enrollment and resources.
Meanwhile, Je co school support workers took a stand, urging the school board to hold the district accountable for wage negotiations. Workers demanded better pay and working conditions, calling attention to ongoing labor challenges. eir e orts highlighted broader concerns about sta ng, morale and the need for fair compensation.
Lakewood residents turn outcry into action
What began as a community protest in October 2023 culminated in a major policy shift for Lakewood in 2024. Outraged by proposed development plans for Belmar Park, residents rallied to protect one of the city’s cherished green spaces.
Protests drew crowds and heightened public pressure on the city council to reconsider the project, with residents voicing concerns about environmental impact, community use and overdevelopment. e momentum didn’t stop there. In 2024, those same residents spearheaded a citizen-led initiative aimed at strengthening local control over future development projects. Despite legal concerns from the city council, the initiative was approved, marking a rare instance of grassroots action directly shaping policy. Supporters hailed it as a victory for community-driven governance and environmental preservation.
Addressing poverty and food insecurity in Je co
Early in the year, Je erson County’s public health director drew attention to the county’s increasing poverty rate, emphasizing the urgent need for targeted support. Data showed more residents struggling to meet basic needs, sparking calls for action from local leaders and nonpro t organizations.
Public health o cials stressed that addressing poverty required a multi-faceted approach, from expanding access to a ordable housing to increasing support for health and human services.
As the holiday season approached, the impact of food insecurity became even more visible. Local food banks and pantries reported surging demand, with more families relying on community resources to put meals on the table.
Nonpro ts and community partners responded with donation drives and expanded outreach, but leaders warned that the need outpaced available resources.
ese stories highlight how poverty and food insecurity have become ongoing challenges in Je erson County. As 2024 ends, the community faces the task of nding long-term solutions to ensure no family is left behind.
Petitioners argue a development project adjacent to Belmar park would see the felling of 69 trees.

Small Landlords: Looking to Cash Out Due to New Pro-Tenant Laws? Here’s One Option.
Under laws enacted by the 2024 General Assembly, Colorado tenants gained many protections, both from eviction and for “habitability,” but those protections for tenants have made being a landlord trickier, more expensive, and riskier, especially for the small landlord who manages his or her own rental units.
Last week, I helped one such small landlord dispose of his rental duplex and invest the proceeds in a way that deferred his capital gains but didn’t get him into yet a new investment that carried those problems and management.
you’re able to put the entire proceeds to work generating income. If you keep doing 1031 exchanges until you die, your heirs will inherit your final holding(s) with a stepped up value and no capital gains tax liability at all.
In his case, he had to deal with a squatter who knew his protections against eviction that already existed under Colorado law and refused to leave. That experience left such a bad taste in my client’s mouth that he chose to sell instead of finding a new tenant.
I was once a commercial landlord myself and earned some great passive income from it for several years, but I vowed never to be a residential landlord. Back then, the big concern was whether your tenant might be cooking meth — a nightmare situation requiring not only eviction but very expensive mitigation before the property could be put back on the rental market or sold. I preferred being a commercial landlord, because my tenants’ offices were always open and I knew they wouldn’t trash their office, because they had customers.
These new protections for residential tenants only add to the unattractiveness of being a small landlord of residential properties.
Other changes in landlord-tenant law include the banning of occupancy limits based on familial relationships by local governments and prohibiting rent increases in excess of 10% over the prior year’s rent (defined as “rent gouging”). Local governments may still implement residential occupancy limits based on demonstrated health and safety standards, such as international building codes, fire codes, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment wastewater and water quality standards, or affordable housing program guidelines.
College towns, including Boulder and Golden, have in the past implemented occupancy limits to prevent the use of singlefamily homes by large numbers of unrelated college students. Those laws are now invalidated by state law.
In the posting of this article on my blog, http://RealEstateToday.substack.com, I’ve included a link to an article with a fuller description of those 2024 landlord-tenant laws.
Meanwhile, selling a long-held investment property can subject the seller to capital gains tax and depreciation recapture that can wipe out much of the profit from selling. A common tax strategy for deferring those taxes is to do a “like kind” exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.
By purchasing a replacement investment property (not a primary residence) with the proceeds from your relinquished property,
You may be saying, “I don’t want to own any new investment property, especially a residential rental property,” given these new laws, but I have good news for you.
“Like kind” properties are broadly interpreted by the IRS to include any real estate (except a Real Estate Investment Trust or REIT). This allows you to reinvest your funds as a passive investor in what’s known as a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST). However, a DST investment is only for accredited investors. Individual accredited investors come under two categories:
They have an individual net worth, or joint net worth with their spouse, excluding primary residence, but including home furnishings and personal automobiles, of more than $1,000,000, or
They have an individual income in excess of $200,000 or joint income with their spouse in excess of $300,000, in each of the two most recent years and have a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year.
DSTs are exploding in popularity, and with good reason. A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is an ownership structure that allows an investor to purchase a fractional interest in a large property or portfolio of properties. The DST is a legal entity (formed as a trust under the laws of Delaware) which holds legal title to property(ies) held in the trust.
For Federal income tax purposes, each DST investor owns a “beneficial interest” in the trust and is treated as owning an undivided fractional interest in the real estate being held by the trust. A real estate company, known as the sponsor, purchases the real estate for the DST and sells “beneficial interests” to 1031 exchange investors through broker/dealers.
The investors, as beneficiaries of the trust, receive their prorated share of the income, tax benefits, and any capital appreciation produced by the real estate. The real estate company, the sponsor of the DST, serves as the trust manager and is responsible for making the major management decisions of the trust. Some examples of the type of real estate that a DST may invest in are: Industrial, MultiFamily, Medical Office, Student Housing, Senior Housing, Retail, Storage, etc. The sponsor purchases the real estate for the DST and sells "beneficial interests" to 1031 exchange investors through broker/dealers.
If you list your investment property for sale and your listing agent doesn’t tell you about DSTs, it could be because it’s an investment of your proceeds that doesn’t allow your agent to earn a commission. It could also, however, be because he or she is not familiar with DSTs. Show him or her this article!
We learned more about DSTs when Wayne Bernardo of Bernardo Asset Management, a boutique real estate securities firm in Evergreen, spoke to our broker associates and me at a recent office meeting.
One problem with doing a traditional 1031 exchange is that you must identify your replacement property within 45 days of closing on the relinquished property, and close on the replacement property within 180 days. It’s not uncommon for a 1031 exchange to fail due to missing these deadlines, leaving the seller of the relinquished property to owe the capital gains tax which he or she was intending to defer. The good news in that situation is that it takes almost no time to switch to a DST. If it’s day 45 and you know you’ll miss the deadline, there’s still time to invest in a DST. But you must identify the DST by day 45 with your Qualified Intermediary (QI).
That’s because there are always some DSTs being offered, and Wayne Bernardo can assist you in finding a DST option to complete your 1031 exchange. He proved that last week when he spoke to us on Monday, and I told him I had a closing that Friday in which the seller was facing over $500,000 in taxable capital gains which he was willing to pay to get out of his rental investment. “Can you help him,” I asked.
The answer was clearly “yes,” because at the closing on Friday, the settlement statement showed $500,000 of the sellers’ proceeds going to my client's Qualified Intermediary for a DST purchase. Wayne was able to find a few DST options for my client and my client decided to purchase one of Wayne's DST recommendations.
Instead of paying capital gains tax (and depreciation recapture) on his sale and wondering how to invest what was left, my client is investing $500,000 in a DST that will earn him an expected monthly income stream over the life of the DST. (Note: Distributions are not guaranteed.)
One of the “negatives” about DSTs is that it is not a liquid investment. You can’t pull your money out of the DST for at least 5 to 10 years, but if that is not problematic, it’s a great solution for the seller who wants to get out of an investment property without paying capital gains tax but having no further management concerns or liabilities. Wayne refers to it as “mailbox money,” because you get a
check in the mail without the headaches of being a landlord.
Note: You don’t have to invest your entire proceeds in a 1031 exchange. My client who invested $500,000 in the DST also received $153,000 in proceeds on which he will pay capital gains tax but still providing him over $100,000 in net proceeds for other purposes, such as travel. I did the same thing when I sold an office building in 2004 and didn’t reinvest the entire amount using a 1031 exchange.
For more information about DSTs, check out Wayne's website BernardoAsset.com, or call Wayne at 303-981-1387, or email him at Wayne@BernardoAsset.com Let Wayne know you saw this article, which he factchecked for accuracy prior to publication.
Of course, my broker associates and I are ready and able to help you sell your investment property. Our contact info is below. As with any real estate investment, there are risks with investing in DSTs. Here’s how they are spelled out on Wayne’s website:
Investors Do Not Hold Title: 1031 Exchange DST investors do not hold title of the property but rather own beneficial interests in the trust and the sponsor controls the management and selling of the property.
Illiquidity: A Delaware Statutory Trust interest is an illiquid alternative investment and there is no current active secondary market for selling your interest, which creates the inability to access immediate liquidity.
Potential for Property Value Loss: All real estate investments have the potential to lose value during the life of the investment.
Reduction or Elimination of Monthly Cas Flow Distributions: Like any investment in real estate, if a property unexpectedly loses tenants or sustains substantial damage, there is a potential for suspension of cash flow distributions.
No Performance Guarantee: General real estate market risks also apply to DSTs. There can be no assurance that a property will perform as projected. DSTs are subject to economic volatility, tenants not paying their rent on time, and other traditional risks of owning, operating and selling real estate.
Potential Change in Tax Law: Tax laws are subject to change, which may have a negative impact on a DST investment.
Why Are HOA Dues Being Raised So Much?
This is a question which I have been asked by readers, so I reached out to Stan Hrincevich, president of Colorado HOA Forum, who suggested some possible causes.
Many HOAs are discovering that their reserve accounts are underfunded and are increasing monthly dues in lieu of a one-time special assessment.
Insurance costs have skyrocketed, and if the HOA is responsible for more than just common elements, this could be a reason for increased dues. If the dues weren’t raised in a timely manner, the eventual increase could be even bigger.
Insurance deductibles have increased significantly, too, and if, for example, the HOA insures the community’s roofs and there’s a hail storm, your individual share of the deductible for replacing the roofs could result in
a special assessment in the tens of thousands of dollars. Ask the provider of your individual insurance policy about a rider to cover such an assessment.
Fees charged by HOA management companies and the contractors hired by them, such as for grounds maintenance and snow removal, have increased substantially.
Water charges have skyrocketed, and if the HOA provides irrigation, that could cause dues to increase.
If the HOA embarks on lawsuits and loses, this can result in a financial impact that could raise monthly dues or result in a special assessment.
If you are worried about misappropriation, ask to see the check register and bank statements of your HOA and see where the money is going.
Morrison mayor suggests link between police chief’s leave and decision to disband police department
Sheri ’s o ce and town hold joint press conference on coming
changes
BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For the rst time, a Morrison town ofcial said there may be a link between the removal of Police Chief Bill Vinelli and the disbanding of its police department. In a Dec. 16 press conference about transferring law enforcement duties from the town to the Je erson County Sheri ’s O ce, Morrison Mayor Chris Wolfe that decision was purely scal.
“But there are some implications that could be tied to it,” he said.
Vinelli was placed on paid administrative leave amid an investigation Nov. 4. Morrison voted to disband its police department a month later, on Dec. 3. e town has not released further details about the investigation, recently saying only that it is ongoing.
When a reporter asked if there were concerns about how Vinelli’s performance or how he was managing the department, Wolfe said, “A little bit of both.”
“Everybody should know there was something there,” he continued. “But we can’t talk anymore about that.”
JCSO will assume law enforcement duties for Morrison beginning Jan. 1. Morrison’s current police force of 9 full-time
o cers and some paid sta are losing their jobs, though Sheri Reggie Marinelli said those o cers are encouraged to apply for jobs with the sheri ’s o ce.
Both she and Wolfe said Morrison residents will continue to receive prompt response under the new arrangement. JCSO is already the on-call agency for the town from 2 to 6 a.m. daily when Morrison has no o cers on duty.
“ e safety of our citizens throughout Je erson County is not going to be in jeopardy at all,” Marinelli said. “When it comes to the city of Morrison, we have precincts right up Highway 74. Our deputies can get there rather quickly.
“ is is nothing new,” she continued.
“We have gone o and on with assisting Morrison, whether it be what we have currently, where we take their graveyard shift, or times when they haven’t had enough o cers and we’ve taken all weekend.”
Marinelli does not anticipate the change will tax the sheri ’s o ce.
“We’re not anticipating any impact,” she said. “We looked into the call rate. ere’s an average of 1.5 calls every 24 hours in the town of Morrison. at is not that much of an increase for the sheri ’s o ce. Looking at the call loads and types of calls, we’re not anticipating a whole lot of trouble.”
Marinelli said JCSO will likely also assume tra c control before and after Red Rocks concerts, a task Morrison police had done. Red Rocks is owned and maintained by the city of Denver as part of the Denver Mountain Parks system.
“We’ll work with extra duty and have our deputies do (tra c control),” she said. “We’re hoping to sit down at the table with Denver to renegotiate our contract for Denver Mountain Parks.”
Wolfe agreed with Marinelli that Morrison is relatively crime-free and should not add to JCSO’s call load. In the last year, he said, the most violent crime was a suicide with a gun.
“We have a speeding problem, maybe you’ve heard of that, but very little crime,” he said.
He also con rmed revenue tied to the town’s speed camera was lower than anticipated, further impacting the town’s budget and its decision to disband.
According to the latest gures, despite issuing citations at a fast clip, the camera generated only about $134,000 for the town. at’s in large part because a ven-
dor charged with processing tickets took an unexpectedly large chunk of the funds. Morrison’s police department operated at an estimated $1.2 million de cit in 2024, according to its town attorney. e town budgeted $476,000 in 2025 for law enforcement services from JCSO, which Wolfe said is a 50% savings from having its own police department.
Despite the cost savings, Wolfe said losing town personnel is tough.
“It hurts us to let these people go,” he said. “It’s not a fun decision to make, especially at the holidays. We hope they all land somewhere where they’re needed.”
Both Marinelli and Wolfe believe the change will be smooth.
“ ey’ve been covering us for years,” Wolfe said. “It’s an old friend. We’re just getting together again, this time for a longer period of time. We feel it’s going to be an easy transition.”
Je erson County Sheri Sheri Reggie Marinelli and Morrison Mayor Chris Wolfe held a press conference to talk about the upcoming transition of law enforcement services from the town to the sheri ’s o ce.

of tomorrow’s future. My participation in this event and e ort is a call to action to unite as a community because in unity there is strength,” she continued.
Several speakers echoed Carreño’s words at the event, and the message was clear: healthy free meals for all must continue.
Advocates highlighted the program’s bene ts, which include helping families save around $1,300 per child annually, reducing food insecurity and creating opportunities for students to access healthy, fresh meals at school, which may be the only meals they get during the week.
Beyond free meals
“We know the massive impact Healthy School Meals for All can have on the health of our local food system and everyone who touches it,” said Jen O’Neal from Common Harvest Colorado. “ ere is so much potential to continue to shape the future of our food system — for our kids, our planet and our local economies.”
O’Neal emphasized that supporting local farms and producers strengthens local economies and provides healthier meals for students.
Despite its success, parts of the program remain on hold due to a lack of funding. Essential components like wage increases for cafeteria workers, equipment for cooking fresh ingredients and infrastructure improvements in school kitchens are currently paused.
“ e food is free, but the rest of the pieces of the program are currently on pause because there’s not enough fund-
ing,” Cervantes said.
Without the necessary support, advocates fear the program will fall short of the vision Colorado voters had when they overwhelmingly backed Proposition FF.
Voices from the frontlines
“I like to say that I’m an educator who serves lunch because I try to educate my students on the importance of eating healthy and staying away from junk food,” said Andrea Cisneros, a kitchen manager for Je co Public Schools.
Re ecting on her childhood experiences with food insecurity, she said,
“When I was a kid, growing up, we would go behind our local grocery store and jump in the dumpsters and get our dinner... My lunch ladies, my lunch men, my sta that fed me were very important to me growing up. ey must have known I was poor. ey’d always give me extra servings of food.”
Today, Cisneros nds herself on the other side, advocating for students to have access to fresh, healthy meals and for cafeteria workers like herself to be
supported with livable wages. She pointed out that, due to budget constraints, many cafeteria workers are forced to sell junk food to students to generate extra revenue for school districts.
“I think our government, our local legislators, need to be held accountable to make sure that our schools receive enough money to keep this program going,” Cisneros said.
Her goal is to see schools fully funded so that processed snacks and a la carte sales are no longer used to ll budget
Advocates urge lawmakers to act
At the heart of the gathering was a call for lawmakers to recognize the Healthy School Meals for All program’s transformative potential and fully fund it. Advocates believe funding the program isn’t just about free meals. ey say it’s about supporting students’ physical and cognitive development, strengthening local food systems and ensuring equitable access to healthy food.
“ is program has saved families money at a time of great hardship for many people in our community, and support has only grown as people have seen rsthand the positive impacts,” Cervantes said.
Cervantes explained that the goal is to sustain the program and fully implement its original promise to ensure local sourcing, pay school nutrition workers fair wages and create from-scratch meals in school kitchens.
“No kid should go hungry because their family is struggling to make ends meet,” Cervantes said. “We are working to make sure that we can sustain and build this program. e Healthy School Meals for All program is an investment in public education and in our children who need healthy food to learn.”

Je erson County youth redefines what’s possible with dreams of a medical career
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
At just 17 years old, Yareli Hernández Desello is already a force to be reckoned with. As a high school junior at Ralston Valley High School in Je erson County, Hernández Desello has overcome challenges that would have held even the most determined student back.
Born in Mexico City, Hernández Desello moved to the United States when she was eight with her mom, stepdad, brother and sister. She didn’t know English and struggled to transition to the culture.
“I had to overcome the challenges of learning a new language, making friends and getting used to my new lifestyle,” Hernández Desello said.
“I struggled through the rst couple of months. It was hard, and there were moments when I got frustrated and upset, but the frustration just made me want to keep going, and within a couple of months I learned English and even got a degree in it,” she continued.
at determination has served her well. With hard work and the support of her family, community and Je co Prosperity Partners, a program dedicated to breaking the cycle of generational poverty, Hernández Desello is forging a path toward her dream of becoming a surgeon.
Her interest in medicine came after Hernández Desello’s mother was diagnosed with kidney cancer. ankfully, her mother’s cancer was caught early and

was treatable. Still, she’d spent countless hours researching her mom’s condition and found she enjoyed medicine.
During middle school, she started researching epilepsy, a condition her stepfather lives with, inspiring an interest in the brain and how it works.
“I was inspired by my stepdad because I wanted to learn more about his medical condition, like what the cause of it was and how I could help him,” she said.
Her passion evolved into a desire to pursue neurosurgery, driven by a vision to join the small but growing group of Hispanic and female medical professionals in the United States.
“Neurosurgeon demographics show that only 5% of neurosurgeons are Hispanic or Latino and that it’s a White male-dominated eld because only 1 in 20 neurosurgeons are female, and I want to be part of that 5% and 1 in 20 neurosurgeons,” she explained.
is summer, Hernández Desello attended a medical program at Duke University, where she earned college credit and gained exposure to hands-on medical experiences.
“ e chance to be in that kind of environment was life-changing,” she said. “It felt like I was nally seeing the future I’d always dreamed about.”
e experience strengthened her passion for neuroscience and helped her build connections with students and medical professionals, further fueling her desire to excel in the eld.
But she almost didn’t apply.
“We learned about the program when we got a yer in the mail,” Hernández Desello said. “But it was really pricey.” at’s when Cristal Hernandez-Cruz, a JPP coach who helps families achieve success however they de ne it, helped her apply for a scholarship and provided funds to cover the college credit fees.
Hernandez-Cruz, who rst began working with Hernández Desello’s mother to provide guidance, resources and support to help her achieve self-sufciency and long-term success, said she met Yareli when she was a sophomore.
FoothillsAnimalShelter.org info@fas4pets.org
During their initial conversation, Hernandez-Cruz said she connected with the teenager’s drive and determination, recognizing a bit of her story in the young girl.
“I know she’s really shy, and I’ve been working on that,” Hernandez-Cruz said. “She’s a minority at her school and feels like she has to earn her place there. I went through the same experience myself when I was in high school.”
JPP’s approach is not about handouts but providing the tools for success. For Hernández Desello, this meant access to scholarships, opportunities for leadership development and coaching on advocating for herself in school.
“She was very quiet at rst. But now, she’s advocating for herself, leading meetings with school counselors and stepping into leadership roles,” Hernandez-Cruz said.
Academic and leadership achievements
Her academic excellence has not gone unnoticed. Hernández Desello earned a letter for academic achievement at her high school, a milestone that lled her with pride.
“She came in with her letter and I said, ‘We gotta get that letterman jacket,’” Hernadez-Cruz said.
Hernández Desello is also a member of the National Honor Society and has received nominations for prestigious international programs, including travel opportunities to Italy and Greece.
According to Hernandez-Cruz, Hernández Desello’s teachers recognize her as a standout student and role model. Her passion for learning is evident in her words about her dreams.
Giving back to her community
As a JPP volunteer, Hernández Desello is a mentor and role model for younger children, often assisting with classroom activities and translating for Spanish-
speaking families. She recognizes the power of representation and aims to be the guiding light for her siblings and other youth in her community.
“I didn’t have someone to look up to,” Hernández Desello said. “I want to be that person for my brother and sister.”
Hernández Desello may be a role model for those younger than her, but she’s also an inspiration for the adults in her life. Her mom, who said she’s very proud of her daughter, is pursuing her GED.
And Hernandez-Cruz said, “Yareli inspires me every day. I tell her, ‘You deserve to succeed,’ and she believes it now, too.”

Mission Arvada gives away Christmas presents for 1,500 children
Hundreds of local children will find presents under the tree thanks to one of the largest gift drives of the year
BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On a cold winter’s day in Arvada, hundreds of families lined up outside e Rising Church in Olde Town, anxiously anticipating one of the largest gift drives of the year.
is year’s Christmas Joy event, held on Dec. 14 by Mission Arvada — the homeless ministry that operates within e Rising — gave away Christmas presents to 1,500 children, the most proli c year in the event’s history.
e milestone is perhaps a bittersweet one; the event usually serves around 500 children, but ballooned in size this year due, in part, to harsh economic traditions, which threaten to put a damper on holiday festivities.
“Maybe because we’ve had success in previous years, but also because of the need, unfortunately,” Mission Arvada Director Karen Cowling said when asked about the uptick in children this year.
Mission Arvada Team Lead Christine urston said the event has been steadily gaining attendees over the years — which, in the past, has caught the event organizers o guard. is year, they were prepared for the in ux.
Mailing Address: 750 W. Hampden Ave., Suite 225 Englewood, CO 80110
“It’s always been around 300 kids,” urston said. “And then one year, social media jumped up, and everyone was sharing it. And then we got about 500 two years ago. We weren’t prepared for it. I went to the end of the line and I just brought out stu ed animals and took their name and information, and I said, ‘We may or may not (have gifts for you).’”
Part of the draw towards Mission Arvada’s event, rather than other similar gift drives in the area, is the low barrier for entry. A simple registration questionnaire is all that’s needed to shop around the donated gifts — providing a birth certi cate or proof of income and/or residency are not required.
“We’re going to help as many people as we can where they’re at,” urston said. “And we go based on personal ethics. What they say honestly of how many kids they have — compared to other places where they ask for the birth certi cates; there’s a lot more red tape. So, there’s little barrier on their end.”
Cowling said the goal of the event is to give back to the community in God’s honor.
“It’s just the love of God,” Cowling said. “ at’s what it means to me. It’s just how God expresses himself to people and reaches out and really just touches the heart of people that are struggling.
“He can put a smile on 1,500 kids’ faces because they got this year what they might not have gotten, and they could have a face painting and decorate a cookie, and while their parents are shopping for them; it’s all free,” Cowling continued. “It’s really amazing.”
urston added that religious packets are handed out to families who attend the Christmas Joy event.
“We do care about Jesus Christ as our Savior,” urston said. “We put packets together that include both English and Spanish Bibles… at’s why we changed it to the Christmas Joy event, because we want people to understand the joy of God and the joy of the gifts from there.”

Here’s what to know about signing up for free preschool
BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT
Colorado families could start applying for the state’s free preschool program for the 2025-26 school year on Dec. 17.
e $344 million program, which launched in the fall of 2023, is open to all 4-year-olds. About 41,000 4-year-olds are currently enrolled in the program — about 65% of that age group in the state. A smaller number of 3-year-olds who need extra help are also enrolled.
e state has made a few key changes to the process this year, including opening the application window two months earlier and o ering a phone helpline that o ers interpretation in over 100 languages.
Here’s what families need to know about the preschool program and the online application.
Who gets free preschool? How much do they get?
Two groups of children qualify: All 4-year-olds and some 3-year-olds who need extra help.
e preschool program is primarily designed for children in the year before they go to kindergarten. For the upcoming 2025-26 school year, that generally means children who turn 4 before Oct. 1, 2025. (Some districts have slightly di erent cut-o dates, which you can nd using this district-by-district look-up tool.)
Most 4-year-olds will get 15 hours of preschool a week, though some preschool providers o er only 10 hours a week.
In addition, some 4-year-olds will qualify for 30 hours of tuition-free preschool a week. ese include children from families with incomes at or below 100% of the 2024 federal poverty level — up to $31,200 for a family of four.
Four-year-olds with two or more of the following risk factors will also qualify for 30 hours a week:
- eir family income is between 100% and 270% of the federal poverty level — $31,200 to $84,240 for a family of four.
- ey speak a language other than English at home.
- ey have a special education plan, also known as an IEP.
- ey are homeless.
- ey are in foster care.
Qualifying for 30 hours of free preschool through the state isn’t a guarantee that a child will get it. Not every preschool o ers a 30-hour a week schedule — or has open seats available even if it does.
Compared to 4-year-olds, only a small
number of 3-year-olds — children two years away from kindergarten — qualify for tuition-free preschool. Only 3-yearolds who have special education plans are guaranteed free preschool.
What about 5-year-olds who aren’t in kindergarten yet?
A small number of 5-year-olds are eligible for free preschool in the year before they attend kindergarten. Speci cally: ose living in school districts with kindergarten cut-o dates earlier than the state’s Oct. 1 cut-o whose birthdays fall between the two cut-o dates. is look-up tool can help you determine if your 5-year-old will qualify.
Five-year-olds who could go to kindergarten but have been held out by their families — a practice often called redshirting — aren’t eligible for free preschool in that year.
When can I fill out the universal preschool application? is year’s application opened at noon on Dec. 17, about two months earlier than last year.
Some families of children who will be 4 by Oct. 1 will get to preregister, speci cally those who want to send their child to the preschool where the child is currently enrolled, where a sibling is enrolled, or where the parent is employed. ese families should ll out the state preschool application, list their current provider as their rst choice, and submit. ey’ll receive con rmation of their choice and must accept or decline the match between Feb. 3 and 10.
the enrollment process, including lling out the state universal preschool application.
Families not eligible to preregister can still ll out the universal preschool application starting Dec. 17. ose who submit by Feb. 5 will fall into the state’s rst round of matching. ey’ll nd out which program they matched with on Feb. 24. ey will have to accept or decline their match by March 3.
Families that submit their choices between Feb. 6 and March 5 will fall into the state’s second round of matching. ey’ll nd out their match on March 24 and must accept or decline the match by March 31.
What if I apply after the first 2 matching windows?
Families of children who will be 4 by Oct. 1 can still apply for free preschool after the rst two rounds of matching are complete through what’s called “direct enrollment.” Contact the preschool you’re interested in to see if they have space. If they do, they’ll assist you with
If you don’t have a preschool in mind, you can browse an online list of universal preschool providers on the state’s application website.
What do I need to fill out the state preschool application?
You’ll need to provide an email address or phone number to create an account and start your online preschool application. Most families will need about 15 minutes to ll it out. e application is available in English and 10 other languages, including Spanish, French, Arabic, and Hindi.
Families with incomes at or below 270% of the federal poverty line will need to upload proof of income, such as pay stubs or tax forms, when they apply for universal preschool.
I have a child who will be 3 by Oct. 1, 2025. Should I complete the application?
If your child has an Individualized Education Program or IEP, yes. Otherwise,
parents of 3-year-olds should contact their local school district to nd out if they qualify for tuition-free preschool. My child has a disability. Should I complete the application?
Yes. Families with a child who will be 3 or 4 next school year and has a special education plan — also known as an Individualized Education Program, or IEP — should ll out the state preschool application. Be sure to check “yes” in response to the question about whether the child has an active Individualized Education Program. e local school district will contact families about the enrollment and placement process. Most preschoolers with IEPs will be placed in classrooms run by their school districts. Parents who are worried their preschooler may be delayed in speech, learning, or development, but don’t have a diagnosis or IEP, should contact Child Find, a state program that screens children suspected of having a disability.
Colorado’s application for universal preschool opened at noon Dec. 17 for the 2025-26 school year.

Judge halts Dreamers’ access to ACA enrollment
Biden administration recently allowed signups for Obamacare
BY JULIE APPLEBY KFF HEALTH NEWS
A federal judge in North Dakota has ruled in favor of 19 states that challenged a Biden administration rule allowing — for the rst time — enrollment in A ordable Care Act coverage by people brought to the U.S. as children without immigration paperwork, known as “Dreamers.” e move e ectively bars those who have quali ed for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in those 19 states from enrolling in or getting subsidies for plans under the ACA, known as Obamacare. It does not appear to a ect enrollment or coverage in other states, lawyers following the case said Tuesday. e Biden administration is likely to appeal, although a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services representative said in an email that the agency would not comment on the litigation. While an appeal may be led quickly, a nal decision may not occur before the incoming Trump administration takes o ce. “ ey could take a di erent position on the litigation,” said Zachary Baron, a legal expert at Georgetown Law, who helps manage the O’Neill Institute Health Care Litigation Tracker.
PRESCHOOL
Can I pick my 4-year-old’s preschool?
Yes. More than 2,000 preschools across Colorado are part of the universal program. Families who don’t qualify for preregistration or want a program other than the one their child currently attends will be asked on the state application to pick up to ve preschools. ey can rank their choices. Options include school-based preschools, faith-based preschools, preschool programs inside child care centers, and state-licensed home-based programs.
is year, about 90% of families were matched with their rst choice of preschool.
ere are some cases where preschool providers can turn down a universal preschool applicant. For example, a schoolbased preschool might turn away a child who lives outside district boundaries. Faith-based preschools used to have the option to turn down a child who is not part of their congregation, but that’s no longer the case for the 2025-26 school year.
Can I pick my 3-year-old’s preschool?
Possibly, but you won’t have as many choices as 4-year-olds do. It all depends on your school district since districts are in charge of placing 3-year-old preschoolers. Some districts primarily serve 3-year-olds in district-run classrooms while others work with community child care programs to serve 3-year-olds.
Do I have to fill out my district’s school choice form too?
Families who want to send their child to a preschool run by their school district
In the meantime, it is not clear what will happen to Dreamer enrollees in the 19 states whose coverage has already started or begins early next year, although the judge’s ruling does not say it is retroactive, Baron noted.
e case was led in August in U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota.
Previously, the federal government estimated that about 100,000 uninsured people out of the half-million DACA recipients might sign up starting Nov. 1, the sign-up season start date in all states except Idaho.
e Biden administration rule, nalized in May, clari ed that those who qualify for DACA would be considered “lawfully present” for the purposes of enrolling in plans under the ACA, which are open to American citizens and what are called “lawfully present” immigrants.
In granting a preliminary injunction and stay, U.S District Judge Daniel Traynor, who was appointed in 2019 by then-President Donald Trump, noted in his Monday ruling that the plainti s were likely to win on the merits of their argument.
States challenging the ACA rule say it will cause administrative and resource burdens as more people enroll, and that it will encourage additional people to remain in the U.S. when they don’t have permanent legal authorization. In addition to Kansas and North Dakota, the states that joined the lawsuit are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana,
may have to ll out two applications: e district school choice form and the state universal preschool application. If you’re not sure if your district has a school choice form or if you are required to ll it out, contact your district.
What if I need more hours than what my preschooler is eligible for?
You can still pay for extra hours above and beyond what the state covers for free, as long as the preschool o ers more hours. You can also see if you qualify for nancial help through other means, such as the state’s child care subsidy program or a local tuition assistance program like the Denver Preschool Program. Here’s a rundown of the options.
I have more questions. What should I do? Contact the local group that’s coordinating the universal preschool program in your county or region. Here’s a county-by-county list of all the groups — the state calls them Local Coordinating Organizations or LCOs — with email addresses.
You can also contact the state’s help desk from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. e number is 303-8665223 and interpretation is available in over 100 languages. Families can also email the help desk at universalpreschool@state.co.us or submit an online form at help.upk.colorado.gov.

“Judge Traynor’s ruling is both disappointing and wrong on the law,” said Nicholas Espíritu, a deputy legal director of the National Immigration Law Center, in an emailed statement. “While we study the court’s ruling to evaluate the next steps in this case, we will continue to ght on behalf of our clients and hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients who have been waiting over a decade to access life-sustaining care under the Affordable Care Act.”
DACA was established through executive action in June 2012 by President Barack Obama, protecting from deportation and providing work authorization

What brightens you?
Igrew up in a family where stories were a nightly part of our meals. My father, a great storyteller, came from a family of nine, seven boys and two girls. His baseball team-sized family gave him a huge volume of tales to share on seemingly endless topics. While my father told many stories around the dinner table, there were moments when the storytelling would come from my mom. Mom had tales of her father’s work as a traveling salesperson, her time in high school and many “neighborhood” stories. When Mom told us her favorite story, her face would light up and she would talk about dancing. In that story, she did not spend much time talking about speci c performances, her attempts to make every child born into the extended family a dancer, or even her time learning from and eventually teaching for Colorado Ballet founders Lillian Covillo and Freidann Parker. What she talked about was her love of motion. She would explain that as a teenager her favorite game was to walk quickly through a crowd of people without touching any of them but coming within a few inches of every person she passed. She would describe feeling the air as she passed individuals, appreciating the uidity of her motion and the fact that so many people were gathered, allowing her to play her game.
created of Mom as a teenager, but more for the absolute passion you could feel in the words she shared. When she told this story, you gained an insight into the way she viewed the world. You understood that she saw things di erently than others. at the daily mundane physical tasks most people muddled through were, in her mind, a dance; a beautiful dance to be appreciated. e joy in Mom’s face is still fresh in my mind even though it has been more than 35 years since I last heard her share the story. is memory will never fade for me. We all need things in our lives that ll us
Ibeauty that surrounds us. Take time this week to think about the things that are so exciting to you that they light your face when you mention them. During struggles, unmitigated joy is a tonic that will help each one of us.
If you would be willing to share, I would love to know what creates joy for you, I can be contacted at jim.roome@gmail.com .
As always, I hope that you will nd inspiration in my words and share those words of encouragement with those
who need it. ank you to all who have shared stories with me so far, I love hearing from you as you nd helpful morsels in these columns and nd ways to encourage those around you.

Resolve and resiliency, American-style
“ese are times that try men’s soul.” So wrote omas Paine in e American Crisis on Dec.19, 1776. Six days later on Christmas night, General George Washington led his Continental Army command across the ice-choked Delaware River for a surprise attack on Hessian mercenaries who were carousing in their warm barracks in Trenton, New Jersey. It was a military stroke of genius, one that gave the struggling nascent independence movement hope.
A year to the day after Paine published his pamphlet, Washington and his 12,000 troops hunkered down for a challenging winter at Valley Forge where many went without proper footwear and warm clothing and about 2,000 died from dysentery and more. Yet they persevered.
e Continental Army for the most part consisted of everyday men — backwoodsmen, farmers, craftsmen — with little or no military training. But they understood that history had called upon them to ght for something greater than themselves: freedom. And not just at the national level, but at the personal.
On this Christmas 248 years later, it’s timely to recall what Washington and the men and women fought and died for in the American Revolution. Like standing and removing one’s cap during the singing of “ e Star-Spangled Banner,” taking a few moments to re ect upon Washington’s feat should be requisite for every American on Christmas Day. For far too many take for granted the freedom the millions since Washington fought and many died for.
From the outset, the Founders knew personal rights and liberties would need to be endlessly defended not just from abroad but from within. Unlike many Americans today, they knew their history. ey also understood the “will to power,” as Friedrich Nietzsche called it a century later in “ us Spake Zarathustra,” runs deep within the soul of men, and if it isn’t harnessed and redirected toward noble, unsel sh pursuits, bad things happen at the hands of the unprincipled and unscrupulous. History had clearly shown that.
But some grow weary of the struggle and decide their and their fellow citizens’ rights and liberties aren’t worth defending despite Ben Franklin’s admonition that “ ose who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” ey become willing to compromise and agreeable to watered-down versions of their inalienable rights that in their essence become like junk jewelry and cheap goods bought at dollar stores. Paine took to task such people, calling

them “the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot” who “shrink from the service of their country.”
“What we obtain too cheap,” he wrote, “we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.”
When the head winds blow at gale force 24/7, it can try one’s soul. When that happens, the danger of falling into one of two extremes—denying reality and insisting everything will be all right or shrugging one’s shoulders and plaintively asking, “What’s the use?”—arises.
Brad Stulberg, a mental health authority, suggests an alternative in a New York Times essay: wise hope and action. By not looking at the anti-freedom forces through rose-colored lenses and by not giving into futility, he says a person is better able to “muster the strength, courage and resolve” to keep their focus on what they can control. e challenge for the individual then is identifying what is in their power and deciding on how to act on it.
In “Man’s Search for Meaning,” Viktor Frankl, a psychologist and Holocaust survivor, posits the most critical elements the prisoners and victims of the Nazis’ death camps needed for survival were resolve and resiliency. In short, never giving up. Just like Washington and his army.
ough circumstances were bleak that Christmas in 1776, Washington and his troops didn’t buckle. Like the fty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence who pledged their Lives, their Fortunes and their sacred Honor, they remained steeled in their resolve and resiliency. I seriously wonder how many today could claim likewise with a straight face.
History shows freedom-loving Americans are not a compliant but a feisty people. ey don’t cave when confronted by anti-freedom forces. ey stand strong and resolute because deep within their soul, they know it’s like omas Paine said: “For though the ame of liberty may sometimes cease to shine, the coal can never expire.”

Every artist, crafter or hobbyist needs a collection of supplies, materials and equipment to accompany their creative passion.
A few stores around Denver seek to help creatives both build their collection and rehome it, if necessary. e Craft Box in Wheat Ridge, and ReCreative in downtown Denver, are both dedicated used art supplies stores that accept donations for resale – essentially thrift stores for artists.
“We’ve had kilns, massive oor looms, pottery wheels, everything down to the individual buttons,” ReCreative Programs Director Kelly Eigenberger said about the store’s inventory.
Eigenberger, who is also a clay artist, said her main goal at ReCreative is to help make art more accessible, especially when it comes to cost. Eigenberger said she knows and relates to the nancial squeeze working artists face, between studio rentals, equipment and marketing their creations.
“I love getting to hook it up for people who I see working really hard and creating access on the retail side of art,” she said. “I mean, the cost of rubber stamps is criminal.”
In addition to the reuse store, ReCreative is a nonpro t that houses artist studios, a membership-based woodshop and an art gallery. e store also o ers classes, ranging from watercolor painting to sewing to kintsugi, a Japanese technique for repairing pottery with gold.
Eigenberger said a community has built up around ReCreative, with a loop of customers becoming featured artists in the gallery or instructors of classes, creating loyal shoppers and connections for donations.
“It means a lot to have friendly neighbors and the support that comes from our people,” Eigenberger said.
Another of ReCreative’s missions is to throw away as little as possible. As of December, the store had diverted 28,000 pounds of supplies from land lls in 2024. Donations are accepted by appointment, which can be made online.
Eigenberger said donating supplies has the dual bene ts of being more environmentally friendly and helping other artists.
“I think that we’re all inclined to collect in one way or another,” Eigenberger said. “But as we collect and lose interest, there’s a lot of guilt about it, so being able to con rm for people that what I’m taking will be used by someone is important.”
Similar to ReCreative, e Craft Box is part used sup-
ply store and part haven for artists, providing space for a variety of art groups and clubs, like Quilts of Valor and the Aspen Leaf Button Collectors.
Liz Boxler, the owner of e Craft Box, said her goal is to create a community space through thrifty crafting.
“Our purpose is twofold, of course, to nd homes for all this crafty stu , but also to work with local charities that need or want things that are handmade,” Boxler said.
When donated supplies aren’t t for resale, Boxler, who is also a quilter, will sometimes use them to create goods for people in need. For example, Boxler has made dget quilts for people with Alzheimer’s, crochet pouches for catheter bags and reusable grocery bags for the food pantry.
Boxler has found that there are more supplies that could be reused than she will ever be able to manage, but she tries to do what she can. is year, the store has diverted 1.4 tons of fabric, books, rubber stamps and other craft supplies from land lls.
Boxler estimates that since she opened the store in 2012, that amount is more than 9 tons and 260,000 items. Most of her donations come from estates and
people who are moving, Boxler said. e store accepts donations by appointment, which can be made online.
“ ey’re de-stashing, is what we call it when people are moving, or they’re downsizing, or they just realize they’re gonna have to live to be 150 years old to do all these projects,” she said.
Luckily, there are also plenty of people eager to nd new purposes for the various beads, frames, yarn, fabric, paints and endless other materials stocked at e Craft Box.
Not only is it a cheaper way to maintain a collection of supplies, Boxler said used supplies are also popular with people wanting to test a new hobby.
“People can try out new crafts much easier,” Boxler said. “If somebody wanted to try quilting but fabric is so expensive, this is a way they can do that without investing a lot upfront. And then if they like it, they can expand on that.”
Boxler said one of the best things about the store is that there’s something for everyone and every skill level.
Kelly Eigenberger, the programs director at ReCreative, said the store’s mission is twofold: to help divert supplies from landfills and to make art more financially accessible. ReCreative also houses an art gallery, studio space and a membershipbased woodshop.
ReCreative is fueled by donations, which Eigenberger said mostly come from estate sales and people who are moving or downsizing. In 2024, the store accepted more than 28,000 pounds of materials.

Pathways aim to reduce dementia risk in Colorado
Research shows small changes can reduce risk
BY ERIC GALATAS PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE
Dementia, a disease with profound effects on families, loved ones and caregivers, a ects more than 55 million people globally, including 6 million in the United States.
New research shows people can reduce their risks by making even small changes in their daily routines, for example, through exercise and eating more vegetables.
Sarah Lock, senior vice president for policy at AARP, said there are also important steps policymakers can take to make it easier for people to maintain healthy behaviors.
“When we do that, we can disrupt dementia,” Lock asserted. “ at’s a really exciting possibility, given that so many of us — as our nation is aging — are facing that risk.”
Dementia is the third-largest cause of death in the nation for people age 70 and older, and two-thirds of Americans have at least one major potential risk factor. People who smoke ve cigarettes per day have a 16% higher dementia risk than nonsmokers. People with prediabetes face a 25% increased risk, which rises to 50% with full-blown diabetes. Prolonged exposure to air pollution is also a major dementia risk factor.
Other risk factors include alcohol use, depression, high body mass index, hearing loss, hypertension, low education, physical inactivity, social isolation and
traumatic brain injury. Lock pointed out policies to reduce these risks can vary by state. For example, in Colorado, physical inactivity may not be as big of a problem
as in other states, but hearing loss is relatively high.
“We can suggest to policymakers that they focus on ways to help people screen

and correct for hearing loss,” Lock noted. “In Colorado, that might be a wiser use of public dollars, to go after the problem that seems to be biggest in your state.” Lock added the goal of the research is to o er people pathways to better brain health and to give older Americans more quality time with their loved ones. e ndings were released by the new Dementia Risk Reduction Project, a collaboration between AARP, the Alzheimer’s Disease Data Initiative and the University of Washington.

‘Red alert’ for soccer as ejections soar in high school sports
BY STEVE SMITH
e number of red cards in boys and girls soccer matches is going up among both players and coaches.
In 2023, game o cials handed out 27 red cards (ejections) to girls players and 236 to boys players, according to Justin Saylor, assistant commissioner for the Colorado High School Activities Association. In 2024, the number increased to 39 for girls players and 242 for boys.
Mike Lovinguth, Arrupe Jesuit High School’s assistant principal and the chairman of CHSAA’s soccer committee, said that none of those instances seem appropriate for the coaches.
“I’m not sure what the reason is,” Saylor said during a soccer committee meeting in early December. “To see 39 red cards for girls and 242 red cards for boys, we’ve got something we need to look at. It’s worth a discussion about how we’re going to address that. What can we do? Something has to be done. How can we lower this number?”
CHSAA o cials said of those boys ejections, 30 were for denying an obvious chance to score a goal. Fifty-three were for violent conduct, 97 were the result of two yellow cards, or cautions, and 35 were for foul or abusive language.
Coach ejections are on the increase, too. O cials tossed out ve girls coaches in 2023 and just four this last spring. In 2023, 18 boys coaches were ejected. e number grew to 30 this season.
Of the coaching ejections on boys teams, six of the red cards were for foul language, 12 for two yellow cards, seven were for dissents and three were for taunting.
Saylor couldn’t address ejection rates for sports over which he is not responsible. Frederick High School Athletic Director Ty Gordon said ejection rates increased for the recently concluded football season.
Doherty High School Athletic Director Jon Shub asked for a breakdown of the reasons for the ejections.
“ e numbers on the boys side are one per team throughout a season and lower for the girls. Coaches are 10% for the boys and signi cantly lower for the girls,” he said. “If we can have more disaggregated data, that might be helpful as well.”
e CHSAA o ce keeps a record of the reasons for each ejection.
“It’s useful to look at what the second yellow was for … dissent, violent conduct,” said Ken Hehir, president of the state high school soccer o cials association. “ e key thing to bear in mind is not the absolute number; it’s the increase. e percentages of each type of card is going to be similar. It’s just there’s a lot more of them. Boys games are more intense, but that shouldn’t equate to more coach reds, even if the game is more intense.”
Fossil Ridge High School girls soccer coach Cyrus Salehi said the issue goes back to leadership. He called the number of coaching red cards “appalling.”
“If you have players who are taking ‘last-man’ reds, pulling a player’s jersey to deny, that’s just one aspect,” he said. “Studs up, breaking a player’s leg (it happened to the SaberCats last year, Salehi noted), and then their coach pats them on the back, you have coaches that are unhinged. It’s leadership. Something needs to be done. Why is that tolerated?”
Hehir said the increase in coaching red
cards “is the most concerning part.” “ e referee has more control on the eld. Cards are used for game management, game control,” Hehir said. “ e coach numbers are very concerning.”
Ejection penalties
Coaches who are tossed out of games have to complete national courses for sportsmanship and teaching behavior. ey have to sit out two games for the rst ejection, while players have to sit out one. Coaches also go on probation.
“We did bring in that two-game suspension a few years back because we were seeing an uptick in coach reds,” Saylor said. We felt that additional punishment may give a coach a second thought about continuing a discussion with an o cial, but it appears not to have worked.”
A coach’s second ejection prompts a meeting with CHSAA o cials. A third ejection results in a restriction. Saylor said he’d not seen a coach placed on restriction in his ve years with CHSAA.
Stephen Dimit, the president of soccer coaches within the Colorado High School Coaches Association, thought any extra educational piece involved the right people.
“I’d be curious how many of these red cards are repeat red cards year after year. How many of these coaches are continuing to coach these teams?” he asked. “ e last few seasons, I haven’t seen a red card.”
Saylor said the same group of o cials work both boys and girls matches.
“ ere are more girls games, yet we have four girls coaches ejected and 30 on the boys,” he said. “I’m struggling to understand why that’s happening. e number of dissent reds is going to be
above the girls’. e majority of the girls’ reds will be for play on the eld.”
Salehi suggested more of an accountability piece between the coaches and their athletic directors. Hehir said the shock value of the numbers will have an e ect.
“We can work closely with Justin and CHSAA and the coaches group to set expectations,” he said. “We’re all on the same page. If we can lay out expectations on coach behavior, what’s acceptable and not acceptable, we can set some expectations.”

Health care spending rose 139% between 2013-2022
Coloradans paying more out of pocket, higher premiums
BY ERIC GALATAS
NEWS SERVICE
Between 2013 and 2022, health care spending in Colorado surged by 139% to nearly $30 billion, according to a new analysis by the Center for Improving Value in Health Care.
Cari Frank, vice president of communications at the center, said in addition to rising private health insurance pre-
miums paid by Coloradans and their employers, people are also paying more out-of-pocket.
“Out-of-pocket costs for the most recent year of data, in 2022, was roughly a little bit over $1000 out of pocket per person, per year, for people with commercial insurance,” Frank reported. “ at has risen over 45% since 2012.”
Between 2013 and 2022, the amount of medicine prescribed to patients increased by 10% and drug costs rose by 151%. e number of outpatient visits ticked up by 25% and the cost of those visits rose by 51%.
Higher costs do not necessarily a ect
insurance company bottom lines. e Denver Post reported Cigna Healthcare’s 2022 pro ts at $6.7 billion.
Frank noted out-of-pocket costs increased by 80% for older Coloradans with Medicare Advantage, plans claiming claim to limit health costs for people living on xed incomes.
“Which is roughly $1,700 per person, per year,” Frank pointed out. “Again, huge for a senior population who may not have any income coming in the door besides Social Security.”
e analysis of data from the Colorado All Payer Claims Database found the number of inpatient hospitalizations
dropped by 19% since 2013 and costs only dropped by 11%.
Frank believes access to transparent, reliable data is essential for policymakers to improve the state’s health care system. “ is data is helping people understand where can we implement policy changes that can bring down those prices,” Frank emphasized. “ en this data can help track the progress that we’re making when those legislative initiatives go into e ect.”

Jackpot.com o ers online orders for lottery and scratch tickets
Mobile app gives access to statewide and national games
BY TONY GORMAN CPR NEWS
Coloradans can hold o searching for coins in the couch and take one less trip to the gas station for a scratch-o ticket. e mobile gaming app Jackpot.com was launched in the state in November. e mobile app allows lottery players to buy statewide and national games from their phones.
“We’ve seen a lot of success in other states. Colorado has surpassed that,” said Jackpot.com CEO and co-founder Akshay Khanna. “So we are incredibly excited to see the progress that I believe we’re going to see in the coming weeks and months in the state.”
Khanna wouldn’t disclose Jackpot. com’s revenues.
It was launched in Texas last year. Along with Colorado, the online platform is available in Ohio, New York, Massachu-
setts, Arkansas and New Jersey. ere is no centralized headquarters for the business. But, it does have a retail center in Aurora. Khanna said the goal is to eventually be available in all states. ose wanting to buy a digital game can also go to the website to purchase national games like Mega Millions and Powerball and statewide games like Cash 5, Pick3, and Lucky 4. But, Jackpot.com isn’t just a place to buy lottery games. e app also handles claims of winning prizes.
“What that means is people are buying tickets, they’re winning, but they either lose their ticket or they forget to check their numbers, or they check it for the wrong draw, and that’s it. Your winnings are gone,” Khanna said. “So we handle all of that for you, not only the ordering of the ticket, not only the processing of the scan but also checking to make sure that your numbers are the winning numbers.”
After going to the website or downloading the app, consumers must register an account. ey must also go through a series of third-party veri cations to make sure they are over 18 years old. After selecting tickets and numbers, Jackpot. com is responsible for getting the ticket
scanned and uploaded to the app or desktop account.
e online platform does charge a fee between the high teens to 20 percent at the point of deposit into an account. Jackpot.com doesn’t collect any of the winnings. But, it deposits those winnings back into the account.
e Colorado Department of Revenue considers Jackpot.com as a courier service. at means it is a delivery service similar to Instacart or Uber Eats. Instead of delivering food, they deliver lottery tickets. Unlike licensed lottery retailers, they are not a liated or working on behalf of the Colorado Lottery. e courier must go through a licensed Lottery retailer and then the courier’s digital image of the ticket goes back to the player.
While the Colorado Lottery doesn’t regulate couriers, it does regulate retailers and a courier cannot operate without a retailer. Retailers who sell tickets to the couriers are held to the same standards
as they are for sales to other consumers. e Lottery Commission is in the process of considering some additional rules that would apply to retailers who sell to couriers, which are likely to go into e ect in early 2025.
Khanna said Colorado can expect the app to have more presence in the state.
“You will de nitely see us advertising in Colorado,” Khanna said. e Colorado Lottery is coming o a record scal year in 2023. It generated nearly $890 million. According to the Colorado Auditor’s Ofce, that’s a 34 percent increase since scal year 2020. at’s the highest amount of annual ticket sales to date. e lottery’s revenue goes towards state parks. In its 40-year history, it has returned more than $4 billion to outdoor projects. is story is from CPR News, a nonpro t public broadcaster serving Colorado. Used by permission.

Public Notice
NOTICE OF DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE SALE
WHEREAS, on May 5, 2003, a certain Deed of Trust was executed by Mildred M. Calkins as grantor(s) in favor of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Inc., a California Corporation as beneficiary and Public Trustee of Jefferson County as trustee, and was recorded on May 12, 2003 as Reception Number Fl 750320 in the Office of the Clerk and Recorder, Jefferson County, Colorado; and
WHEREAS, the Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the Secretary) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family housing; and
WHEREAS, beneficial interest in the Deed of Trust is now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to an assignment dated May 6, 2010, and recorded on June 7, 2010, as Reception Number 2010047793, m the office of the Clerk and Recorder, Jefferson County, Colorado; and
seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary's designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on September 5, 2024, as Reception Number 2024052202, notice is hereby given that on January 6, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises ("Property") will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder: See attached Exhibit A
Commonly known as: 8422 Everett Way Unit D, Arvada, CO 80005
The sale will be held at 8422 Everett Way Unit D, Arvada, CO 80005.
The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid $309,312.47.
There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.
When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $30,931.25 [10% of the Secretary's bid] in the form of a certified check or cashier's check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $30,931.25 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier's check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.
The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier's check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.
If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure.
The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.
There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant.
The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier's check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed.
Tender of payment by certified or cashier's check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.
