Public prefers parks for Shopping Center parcel

Residents dismiss big box stores, gas stations at the old Thornton Shopping Center site

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ree potential uses of the ornton Shopping Center site were quickly erased by residents last week at a wide-ranging public forum to discuss the future of the long-abandoned parcel.

Big box store? Nope. Quickie gas station and convenience store? No. A developer-driven proposal? Get outta town.

Instead, the 100 or so locals said they wanted a community park, garden, and a gathering place to ll the void. Local vendors and food trucks would be nice, as would a dog park, they said.

Most of all the city should strive for something unique that truly

would make ornton stand out from other cities, John Barreto said.

“We have the opportunity for a real facelift,” Barreto said. “We used to have a downtown ornton… and that’s something we don’t have right now. We should honor this site and make it sustainable, something historical.”

“We could have something real and powerful,” Barreto said.

Crown jewel to disrepair

Last week’s “Community Reuse Visioning” session at ornton’s Community Connections building helped kick o an e ort to redo the shopping center site, located at the northeast corner of 88th  Avenue and Washington Street. Built in 1955, the 15.6-acre parcel was a shopping crown jewel for the city until it fell into disrepair, say city o cials.

e city took possession of the area in January 2023 and is moving ahead with asbestos cleanup and demolition. In the meantime, the city is using facilitators from Kansas State University’s Technical Assistance for Brown elds – or TAB – program and local brown elds planning group Adaapta to help arrive at the best use for the shopping center tract.

SPEAK OUT!

e TAB team will take suggestions made by residents to complete an analysis of the best path toward transforming the site, o cials said.

“We want to identify the best uses for the site and what is supported by market forces,” said Kate Lucas, EPA Region 8 Assistant Director for the Kansas State team.

ornton Councilmember Kathy Henson said that momentum is nally on the city’s side when it comes to redeveloping the shopping center.

“ is is literally a meeting that’s been years in the making,” Henson said. “Somebody please pinch me.”

Councilmember Justin Martinez, who also attended the visioning gathering, said the big turnout showed how important the center’s reshaping is to residents.

“We can tell this project means a lot to the city of ornton,” Martinez said. “To the entire city and not to Ward 1” where the shopping center is located.

Residents at the session broke into small groups to come up with their own wish lists for the new uses for the shopping center site. Nearly all centered around community ac-

tivities of some kind.

Big box stores or gas stations did not go over well with participants. Neither did allowing an outside developer to dictate what should go into the site.

Resident Sara Wash said ornton should put in place some homegrown culture into the site.

“We need such a revitalization,” Walsh said. “We have so many Wendy’s and McDonald’s now. We need some diversity. We need some culture.”

Residents met April 18 to discuss the best uses for the former Thornton Shopping Center.

Want to Break Away From Common Exterior Products? Check Out These Winners

elevated it to the top of a competitive category.”

I’m always on the lookout for new products that might interest my readers, and Pro Builder magazine is great at finding and promoting them, including with their annual “Most Valuable Product (MVP) Awards. Their February-March 2024 issue featured the top 3 winners (gold, silver and bronze, of course) in 16 categories from “Connected Home” to “Weatherization.”

In this week’s column, I’d like to feature their winners in the “Exterior” category. I think you’ll agree that each provides a fresh look and a welcome break from what we are seeing, especially in the tract homes from the major builders.

The “Gold” winner was Tantimber’s decking product they call Thermowood Here is a picture and description of their wood decking:

“Thermowood is a sustainable alternative to endangered South American hardwoods and various environmentally damaging petroleum-based wood imitations and hybrid products. It is dimensionally stable, extremely durable, and will not warp in extreme temperatures and environments, the company says, while still being workable. The practical and environmental benefits of the product, as well as its pleasing aesthetics,

Tantimber is a Turkish company, and their website describes their commitment to sustainable production of natural wood products. Today’s composite decking materials are petroleum-based, but Tantimber’s products are made from thermally processed natural wood. Their website is www.Tantimber.com

The “Silver” winner was Nakamoto Forestry’s siding product Gendai. Here is the picture and description of this product:

“Gendai is sustainably sourced and ethically produced shou sugi ban siding — an exterior cladding made exclusively from Japanese cypress that is charred as a preservative heat treatment. The product is black in color with a waterbased finish. Traditionally called ‘arai’ meaning ‘washed,’ Gendai is brushed once to remove the textured charred surface, leaving behind a smooth appearance and dark hue. The burnt fiber crevasse shadows are subtle and create a silky color with charred grain details throughout.”

Archive of Past Columns Is Online

Over the past two decades, this column has appeared in local weeklies and the Denver Post, and during that time I’ve written about every conceivable topic related to real estate. You can find and search that archive online at www.JimSmithColumns.com

Nakamoto is a family-owned business in western Japan, which owns its own forests and mills near Hiroshima. They are the biggest manufacturer of yakisugi (the more common name for shou sugi ban wood) in the world, and have been doing it for 50 years. Their website is www.NakamotoForestry.com.

The “Bronze” winner for exterior products is Fiberon’s Wildwood Cladding. At right is the picture, and here is the paragraph describing the product:

“Free of toxic chemicals and made with 94% pre- and post-consumer recycled content, Wildwood composite cladding is a highly sustainable alternative to traditional wood cladding. It has several performance characteristics that make it an ideal solution for rainscreen applications, such as being hydrophobic and resistant to rotting, cracking, insects, and decay. The product features an open-joint profile and is available in a variety of board lengths and widths, combining the beauty and warmth of

wood with the durability of highperformance, low-maintenance materials.”

The company operates out of Idaho and North Carolina. Its claim regarding sustainability is that its cladding features 94% pre– and post-consumer recycled content, is free of toxic chemicals and is manufactured using sustainable practices.

Domestic violence e orts get financial boost

Almost Home and Platte Valley Medical Center Foundation are two of 12 organizations that received the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant for Domestic Violence Prevention Programs, county o cials said in an April 23 news release.

“Preventing domestic violence is a moral and fundamental duty of our entire community,” said County Commission chair Emma Pinter. “By partnering with these deserving organizations in this e ort, we can protect the well-being of our families and uphold the principles of equality and respect for everyone in Adams County.”

e Adams County Board of Commissioners awarded $4.6 million to 14 organizations using federal funds

from the American Rescue Plan Act. e grants are to create programs that are critical to help individuals and families impacted by domestic violence to support the survivors and also reduce domestic violence psychological and trauma, according to o cials.

Once Adams County received the ARPA funds, it contacted local organizations to apply for the grant. A selection committee representative with experience with local organizations reviewed the grant proposals.

According to o cials, the evaluations consist of project viability, impact, and structure objectives of domestic violence prevention and services to qualify.

In addition, the county will monitor the nancial handling of all organizations receiving a portion of its funding using grant management software.

Almost Home received $170,106.20 for its domestic violence emergency sheltering program, and the Platte Valley Medical Center Foundation received $438,000 for its sexual nurse examiner program.

Other recipients include the Domestic Violence Initiative for Women with Disabilities, which receives $300,000 for victim services and outreach; Rebuilding Together of Metro Denver which receives $25,000 for Safe at Home and emergency repairs for domestic violence victims who are Adams County lowincome homeowners; e Salvation Army which receives 539,283.80 for housing; and Servicios de La Raza which receives $700,000 for comprehensive, integrated, and culturally responsive health and human services for victims of domestic violence.

Airport noise, lead legislation clears first hurdle

HB24-1235 would set up incentives to switch aircraft from lead fuel to unleaded

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A potential new law that proposes to cut airplane noise and lead pollution at Colorado’s smallest airports cleared its rst big hurdle at the state legislature.

e bill – HB24-1235 – was scheduled to be heard April 23, before the

State Senate Finance Committee.

e legislation would help aircraft owners phase out lead fuel and ensure Coloradans living near smaller, commuter airports are represented on the Colorado Aeronautical Board, said Rep. Shannon Bird, sponsor of HB24-1235.

“As our state’s population grows, smaller airports are seeing more tra c than ever before, which means increased noise and air pollution in our communities,” said Bird via a news release.

“ ere are no safe levels of lead exposure for our children, and this bill works to clean up our air while

prioritizing the health of our neighbors.”

e bill passed the State House last week by a 43-18 margin. Residents who live near the airports – including Centennial Airport in Arapahoe County and Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broom eld – are lobbying heavily for the bill’s passage.

ose residents say that lead fuel used by piston-powered aircraft taking o and landing at those small airports is being dropped over their homes while incessant noise from ight operations is causing health problems.

Supporters of the airports say they are working with residents to answer concerns over noise and that it takes time to convert to unleaded fuel in aircraft.

Quiet Skies over Arapahoe County, a group of airport critics, is asking for a big turnout to speak out in favor of HB24-1235.

“ is is our best chance to be heard and a strong showing from our side will be important, as we’re sure the opposition will be well represented,” stated as Quiet Skies over Arapahoe County email.

Adams 12’s Future

Forward students tackle fires as part of their course work

He looked at a re truck just once and Miguel Rodriguez knew he had to be a re ghter.

“It’s really straight forward on what they do,” the FutureForward at Washington Square student said Wednesday. “ ey get to save lives, and even if it’s just saving a cat stuck in a tree, it still really matters to someone.”

“It’s the closest thing to be a real superhero,” said the arrow-straight Rodriguez, who addresses the older man asking questions as “sir.”

Rodriguez was a member of a fourperson student crew who doused a basement re April 24 in a singlefamily home at the North Metro Fire Training Center in Northglenn.

e home was built by the adult re crews to mimic an actual re, complete with fake smoke and ames.

e smell was real, however, and after a few minutes of re work Rodriguez and his team took a quick

break before they took on another disaster. On this day, that included a motel re and a ery emergency in a high rise.

All was done under the tutelage of North Metro Fire crews as part of a unique program at Future Forward to get prospective re ghters into bunker gear and onto the front lines battling structure and wild res in Colorado.

e students – who are mostly juniors and seniors at FutureForward – will undergo live burn drills at the

ti cation.

As many as 65 students are taking the re ghting and EMT courses at the training center this year. Last year, 24 students took classes, said Joel Sherry, re ghter instructor and department chair of the Fire Service Program o ered by FutureForward.

Finding recruits

e new prospective recruits are coming at the right time as reghting and emergency services recruits have dwindled signi cantly across the country, said Sara Farris, spokesperson for North Metro Fire Rescue District.

Meanwhile, North Metro Fire has experienced as 82% growth in emergency calls in the past 10 years, Farris said.

FutureForward’s Fire Service Program will get high schoolers into hands-on situations that will qualify them for real-time re suppression work and get them into re stations across the district, said Sherry.

“We really are facing a challenge in getting more re ghters and EMS crews,” said Sherry, “We see this as developing a good farm system like in baseball. As soon as they earn their credits and certi cation, they can almost jump right into a re crew.”

“And, he added, “for these kids, it will be a heck of an experience.”

Students in the Fire ghting 1 and 2 courses learn hands-on, practical skills in re ghters’ orientation, safety, re behavior, building construction, re ghter protective equipment, re streams, re controls, re detection, alarm and suppression systems, loss control and communications, according to FutureForward’s course description.

Students will also obtain both their CPR and HAZMAT certi cations in the re ghting program.

e credits they earn can transfer to the Community College of Aurora, said Marvin Lewis, principal at FutureForward at Washington Square.

“It really o ers the time of handson work we emphasize at our school,” said Lewis. “We can’t thank North Metro for their help in this.”

Other metro area re districts have contributed equipment to help the program, Sherry said.

“I think all of the local re districts see this as an opportunity to connect with new re ghters that are coming up in the ranks, and that we will need all that extra help,” said Sherry.

Junior Ava Serna said she took the initial re ghting course at FutureForward on a lark. “I really didn’t know what it was about, I was just curious,” Serna said.

en she was hooked.

“ is is so cool,” Serna said as she prepared to go into a burning motel wearing her 50-pound bunker gear.

“I just proved to myself I can do this, and I love every minute of it.”

Tackling Colorado's Housing Crisis Requires Comprehensive Legislation

by Elizabeth Kay Marchetti

As our state suffers from a housing crisis that is essentially a humanitarian crisis, the need for strategic action has never been more urgent. The State Senate's proposed Strategic Growth Bill (SB-174) represents a missed opportunity, so it is imperative that we pass HB-1313, the legislation mandating increased density near transit hubs. Only by embracing measures that enable new housing to be built can we hope to alleviate the severe shortage of housing plaguing our communities.

Littleton has been at the forefront of regional discussions regarding transit-oriented communities, recognizing the vital role of public transportation in fostering sustainable development. The recent decision by the Littleton City Council not to oppose the transit-oriented community bill reflects this community’s commitment to urban planning and collaborative efforts that meet the documented needs of the city and region.

The correlation between transit accessibility and housing equity cannot be overstated. By concentrating new homes near transit hubs, we not only address the pressing need for housing but also empower residents with expanded transportation choices.

This isn't merely about building more homes; it's about expanding opportunities and freedom of movement for all members of our community.

While the majority of Front Range voters supported the bond question to enable FasTracks twenty years ago, the realization of the light rail’s full potential has been hampered by local zoning restrictions and so-called “growth limits.”

Cities like Aurora, Denver, and Lone Tree have embraced transit-oriented development, while many suburban cities and towns have resisted such changes. The result is that the metro area continues to grapple with traffic congestion, dangerous air quality, disappointingly low transit ridership numbers, and ever increasing housing costs.

Take, for instance, the case of Aspen Grove shopping center in Littleton. Initially a thriving retail center, located immediately north of the Mineral Avenue light rail station, its vitality has waned due to a lack of nearby residential density. It was understood by the developers that it would succeed financially because of its proximity to all the people living and working in Highlands Ranch. Now that Highlands Ranch is built out and the Park Meadows Mall continues to draw people from miles around, Aspen Grove

has struggled with high vacancy rates for years because of so few shoppers living in close proximity.

The recent proposal to redevelop it into a mixed-use neighborhood with significant numbers of housing units above retail was met with resistance fueled by fear of change and new neighbors. The outrage was led by already-housed people living in large, covenant-controlled homes who claim to want more housing, just not in a spot that might inconvenience them. The proposed number of homes was dramatically reduced (this is a phenomenon happening across the country - hence, skyrocketing housing prices) and therefore won’t likely make a significant, positive impact for the retail center or light rail ridership numbers. Enabling developments that put more homes in close proximity to transit and retail represent precisely the kind of forward-thinking solutions we need to solve the housing crisis and sustain local economies.

The reluctance of some municipalities to embrace transit-oriented development underscores the necessity of state intervention. Local control, while important, has too often resulted in a self-perpetuating cycle of housing scarcity. Typical zoning and

subdivision regulations have prevented denser housing development in suburban communities across the nation since the early 20th century. It's time for the state government to step in and ensure that communities across Colorado have the tools and mandates necessary to address our housing crisis comprehensively.

Littleton, along with other smaller suburbs, has struggled for decades to meet the growing demand for housing near transit. Passing legislation mandating increased density near transit hubs is not just a matter of convenience; it's a moral imperative. We owe it to our residents to enact bold, visionary policies that will pave the way for a more equitable and sustainable future.

Vibrant Littleton advocates for the passage of HB-1313. Only by embracing this bill can we hope to overcome the challenges posed by Colorado's housing crisis and build a brighter tomorrow for all.

A tale of three kidneys

Platte Valley sta share their experiences as lifesaving donors

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Platte Valley Hospital President Jaime Campbell didn’t know it, but her family’s history with polycystic kidney disease would lead her to a career in the medical eld.

Campbell was one of three Platte Valley sta that shared their experiences as living donors April 18 to spread awareness of organ donation and save lives during National Donate Life Month.

April is designated annually to spread awareness about organ donation and encourage Americans to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors.

According to the Donor Alliance Organ & Tissue Donation organization, tens of thousands of people su ering from disease, injury, trauma or blindness are saved by organ, eye and tissue transplants annually.

In Colorado and Wyoming, around 1,500 people are on the waiting list for a lifesaving organ transplant. More than 100,000 are waiting nationwide. According to the Donor Alliance, healing eye and tissue donations could save thousands more patients.

Surprises in the family history

ree generations of Campbell’s relatives su ered from polycystic kidney disease, a genetic condition that damages a person’s kidneys over time, leading to an extensive need for dialysis. Several of her relatives died while waiting for a transplant while other family members received kidney donations from deceased organ donors and livingrelated donors.

Her Uncle Don was diagnosed with the disease 27 years ago but the search for a donor was complicated because of his rare O-negative blood type.

“My relatives tested to see if they could donate, but none were a match. Don was on the transplant

list for three years with declining health,” Campbell said.

With testing, Campbell learned that she, too, was O-negative. at wasn’t all she learned, however.

“Perhaps the biggest surprise during the process was revealed by the transplant surgeon – after the procedure – that I was adopted and not a blood relative of Uncle Don,” Campbell said.

Most living donors are biologically related to the recipient, she said.

Campbell said the experience made her want to give back even more. She left a career in land development to work in nonpro ts and eventually in health care administration. She became the president of Intermountain Health’s Platte Valley Hospital in Brighton in 2022.

“ e transplant took place 27 years ago. A donor kidney can fail over time, and the recipient must return to the waiting list for another organ. I praised my Uncle Don for taking good care of the kidney,” Campbell said.

Three-way swap

Sarah McCartney, a 17-year veteran nurse at Platte Valley Hospital, shared her experiences with organ donations as well.

McCartney learned that her husband Andrew was having some kidney issues and doctors discovered he had an autoimmune disorder that was damaging them.

He went on dialysis for almost two years while they looked for a donor.

Doctors tested her blood and learned she wasn’t a match and she couldn’t help – not directly, at least.

“When getting tested to see if I would qualify, I was approved to be a donor, but I did not match my husband,” McCartney said. “So, we entered into the paired exchange program.”

It meant she would donate her kidney to someone in the program and someone in the program would donate a kidney to her husband.

Soon after, an unrelated man came into the transplant center to donate a kidney and he matched with Andrew – a miracle for the McCartneys. Her kidney went to another recipient. ey had had their surgeries ear-

lier this year. Sarah said her husband’s transplant recovery was basic and resulted in tiny incisions. His recovery was speedy, she said.

“My surgery was laparoscopic. So, it was also a pretty easy recovery. And it’s been almost three months for me now and I feel normal,” she said

Sarah said the man who donated was a stranger who had come into the transplant center without anybody in mind.

“He was able to change our lives, and I changed the lives of whoever got my kidney,” she said. “I was involved in both parties, my hus-

band’s struggle, and how it changed his life.”

With the reward of helping someone else live a longer life in mind, Sarah encouraged others to consider donating a kidney to a loved one. She described the recovery process and the impact of the transplant on their lives, highlighting the importance of organ donation for those in need.

“I say do it and donate an organ. It’s amazing and rewarding to help somebody else have a better and longer life, it’s worth it,” Sarah said.

“I was insistent on getting back on, and then I found out I was a match,” Green said. “So, on January 18 of this year, I donated my kidney.”

Green said her Mom felt hesitant and guilty about hurting her daughter, who was in her 30s.

“I was planning to have children, and she didn’t want to put me in any high-risk situations,” Green said.

She said she didn’t know much about the kidney donation process

Google, Rewiring America and Gov. Polis announce a new energy savings tool for Colorado households

Gov. Jared Polis recently announced a collaboration with Google.org and the nonpro t Rewiring America. ey launched a tool to help Coloradans calculate their energy savings, the Colorado Energy E ciency Upgrade Savings Calculator. e tool is funded by a $5 million grant from Google.org.

“With this new tool, Coloradans can easily access discounts on heat pumps, electric vehicles, solar power and more. ese clean energy upgrades save Coloradans money, potentially thousands of dollars, and will help Colorado achieve our

climate goals to help future generations,” said Gov. Polis.

e calculator was created to help families calculate their savings from upgrading to a more energy-ecient lifestyle. ose savings come from the many incentives and credits available from federal, state and local sources, according to the governor’s press release announcing the project.

“Tens of thousands of dollars in local, state, utility, and federal incentives make these zero-emission technologies more a ordable and accessible,” said Colorado Energy O ce Executive Director Will Toor.

Considering the actual cost of a ordable housing VOICES

Anew true a ordable housing development project will soon be under construction in Westminster in the Uplands development.

e 247-unit apartment project known as Overlook at Uplands is being done via a partnership of a liates of St. Charles Town Company LLC and Maiker Housing Partners. Both have previously developed in Westminster and are experienced in a ordable housing.

Located at 8775 Clay Street (that is east of Federal Blvd in the overall Uplands development), the sevenbuilding campus will be constructed at a cost of $88 million.

e sta memo describes the project as “providing a spectrum of AMI set-aside units to broaden the renter population served and, more importantly, is designed with 70% of the units as two or three-bedroom with on-site amenities geared toward larger families… e project will consist of 77 one-bedroom/one bath; 34 two-bedroom/one bath; 96 two bedroom/two baths and 40 three-bedroom/two bath.”

e units will be o ered to larger family households earning 40%-70% Area Median Income.

Sta points out that “While AMI is based on household size, for context, a household of four earning $47,325 would represent 40% of AMI and a household of four earning $82,818.75 would represent 70% of AMI according to 2023 HUD guidelines.”

is a ordable housing project quali es under the Prop 123 ballot issued passed in 2022. e 247 units will count toward Westminster’s obligation of 271 units by December, 2026.

In order to be eligible to apply for and receive Prop 123 funds, the local government must commit to the state that it will meet or exceed the number of a ordable units mandated by the state.

Challenges of achieving a ordable housing

As you can see, a ordable housing is not cheap to nance, design, build and manage. e 247 units represent a cost of $356,000-plus

per apartment unit.

park development fees and $19,440 in public art fees.

Of course, the developer must rst obtain Planning Commission and City Council approvals on the speci c plans and must meet the allowed zoning, but these actions were previously accomplished. e City Council approved the incentive package on a 6-1 vote with Council member Ireland voting against it. e land for the development must be secured usually with an option to purchase conditioned on the approvals I just mentioned. en the detailed construction plans have to be done and approved by the city building inspectors and city planners. e developer has to secure his construction loan as well as permanent nancing. Grants from the state, federal tax incentives, municipal or county incentives and other possible reductions are key to making the proposed development “pencil out.”

In this particular project, permanent nancing is projected at $41.4 million with a $3 million Colorado DOH loan. Federal LIHTC equity is $37.1 million, City of Westminster incentives at $1.8 million and the developer equity/deferred developer fee projected to be $4.9 million.

As you can see, nancing a ordable housing is not near as simple as individual home buyers obtaining a 30-year xed rate mortgage. Many desired a ordable housing projects fall short when it comes to the reality of having sound nancing and cost reductions con rmed.

Local decision-making on justification of incentives

As mentioned, the City of Westminster sta had negotiated a recommended incentive package of $1.78 million or 2% of the total project cost. is means the city would not collect $270,145 in building permit fees, $1,101,910 in city construction use taxes, $391,001 in

To put it another way, building inspectors would have to be paid from other funds to do the construction plans review and on-site construction inspections. e General Fund would not receive the $1.1 million in use tax revenues or the public art fees. Any public art or park development tied to this project would have to be funded from other sources - if available within the city’s means.

So, it gets down to the question of worth. Is it worth the loss of $1.7 million in revenues to the city to have the developer provide 274 additional apartment units in Westminster to bene t individuals and families who otherwise probably could not a ord to live in these dwellings.

Is it a city council priority to encourage and support additional affordable housing? is is a policy that the council addresses each year in their Strategic Planning session.

72nd Avenue beautification

e signs say “Beauti cation

Progress” along both sides of 72nd Avenue in the commercial portion in Westminster.

e contractor and his crew were out there last week digging out the concrete planting areas and preparing them for “beauti cation.” is work is costing roughly $350,000 and could very well be a temporary improvement.

Why the city let the concrete planters go to heck over the past years is a total puzzlement to me. Anyway, they are now atoning for the sins of the past.

But hold the phone! ere is a comprehensive study being conducted by consultants to design future improvements for 72nd Avenue to add to the “beauty.” e current improvements may turn out to be short-term depending on what the city does with the study’s ndings.

I sure hope city sta does not end up throwing $350,000-plus down the drain. Time will tell.

You asked about the apartment complexes at the new downtown I have ongoing requests about

how the apartment buildings are doing in the New Downtown. People seem to be curious about their success. So, I asked Community Services Department sta and received the latest quarterly data.

For the rst quarter of 2024, Aspire has 226 apartment units and has 94% occupancy. Ascent has 255 units and is sitting at 95% occupancy. Eaton Street, which is the only subsidized complex among the four, has 118 units and is 96% lled.

Finally, Westminster Row apartments are 96% occupied among its 274 apartment units.

So, the range of folks occupying units at the New Downtown is 94%-96% which is quite high. While I don’t have a chart of the current rental rates, I do know some units are in excess of $2,300 per month which needs to be considered in any marketability analysis.

I would say the residential portion is quite “healthy” and is o ering housing opportunities that people like.

However, attracting tenants to the rst oor retail in each building varies and is not near as robust. It’s been a bit of a struggle for the developers and the city to attract viable occupants. More tenants would be appreciated, but given the lease rates, it isn’t for every shop or retailer.

Armed Forces Tribute Garden ceremony

Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the annual ceremony to celebrate our military branches and honor those who serve our nation. e ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. May 18 at the Armed Forces Tribute Garden in Westminster City Park, 6001 W. 104th Ave. It will be a grand occasion to show o the new sculptures which have been placed at the Garden.

It is only tting that we take time to pay tribute to our fallen heroes and show appreciation for the service which our current men and women provide in keeping us safe from hostile forces.

Hospitals are the heartbeat of the community

When readers think of a hospital, many probably think of an emergency department.

Of course, ERs are a huge part of hospitals’ value. Hospitals are the only facilities that provide continuous emergency and specialty services, including ambulatory and trauma care, NICU units, maternity wards, and even mental health care. Our hospitals treat every person who walks through their doors, which are open 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Hospital patients tend to arrive sicker, stay longer, and require more complex, coordinated care than people who seek care at other kinds of facilities. Rural hospitals are more likely to serve low-income and minority patients who are less likely to be insured. And hospitals and health systems are also on the front lines of mental health.

Facilities like the recently opened 120-bed rehabilitation center right here in Adams County - North Aurora - help families access mental and behavioral healthcare and help individuals overcome addiction.

In addition to caring for patients, hospitals do even more to support healthcare behind the scenes. Hospitals and health systems are engines of innovation and medical advances.

ey provide the facilities to develop new treatments, improve clinical outcomes, and enhance patient safety. ey also train new physicians, nurses, and skilled workers, helping meet the growing need for quali ed medical professionals.

Yet Colorado’s hospitals face unprecedented challenges. Rapidly increasing costs of providing care have stretched many hospitals precariously thin. e access to 24/7 care that we all rely on is in jeopardy. Hospitals’ expenses have grown more than 30 percent above pre-pandemic levels.

Over 70 percent of Colorado hospitals—and an astonishing 84 percent of our rural hospitals—have unsustainable operating margins.

Sadly, lawmakers in Washington are considering legislation that would further exacerbate the problem and reduce resources for patient care.

Our hospitals and healthcare systems can’t a ord an onslaught of rigid, top-down reimbursement cuts. ey’re already being asked to do more with less. Record in ation, worker shortages, runaway drug costs, low

January 10, 1947 - April 15, 2024

Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, and costly claim denials from corporate insurers have pushed many into the red.

Nationally, more than half of hospitals lose money delivering care. CBS News reported last month that healthcare systems in Denver have been overwhelmed by new patients, forcing them to make tough decisions to reduce services. We are seeing those same impacts bleed into Adams County.

Cutting hospital reimbursements for care would invariably push many Colorado hospitals over a tipping point. Many could have to reduce or eliminate “non-critical” services, like maternity and mental health care. Others could be forced to close their doors permanently. Residents would have to travel farther for care, which is an especially big barrier for disadvantaged families. Patients would experience longer wait times and disruptions to care.

e demand on the surrounding, surviving healthcare systems would become even more relentless, compounding the barriers that patients face.

I have worked hard to support our hospitals and healthcare providers, not only during my tenure on the ornton City Council, but as an advocate and healthcare worker myself. I held a Marketing Manager and Community Engagement role with Centura Health for years, where I gained an indepth understanding of how hospitals and healthcare systems work.

We should be proud that, on the state level, Colorado has made good progress to ensure patients’ access to high-quality, a ordable care. We cannot let Washington, D.C., take us backward.

I welcome the opportunity to work with Colorado’s Congressional delegation to prevent draconian top-down cuts to care and promote real, holistic, full-picture healthcare solutions.

Local organizations provide comprehensive services for people in need

“comprehensive legal, emotional and critical supportive services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, abuse of at-risk individuals, elder abuse, and human tra cking.”

Brandon Bowles, developmental manager for PorchLight, said the navigators are the PorchLight team members who help guide each person through the center. e organization partners with several government and nonpro t agencies to provide services to people and families in need.

lieve that tackling all of a person’s needs is the best way to help them.

Pos Ryant, founder and director of the Apprentice of Peace Youth Organization of Denver believes that forming relationships is at the heart of what makes the holistic approach work.

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA

Healthcare, a ordable housing, food insecurity, homelessness, violence and in ation are among the top issues facing Americans and Coloradans, according to a study by Pew Research Center.

While the state and the country struggle to resolve these issues through legislation, nonpro ts in the Denver metro area are attacking the issues using a holistic approach.

e Merriam-Webster Dictionary de nes “holistic” as a focus on the whole system, not a single part. A holistic approach to helping people means also helping with shelter, food, mental health, medical checks, employment, wellness and more in addition to the problem that brought the person in for help.

Several local organizations practice using a holistic approach to helping people. One model of this approach is the PorchLight Family Justice Center in Lakewood.

e organization’s work is described on its website as providing

According to Bowles, these services can range from health checks at the in-house clinic, legal services, remote court appearances, therapy, housing, clothing and even childcare, among other things.

e center has several services provided by partner agencies right there on location, so there is no need to leave the building for most things, Bowles added.

“We have 20 cubicles here for partners to use,” Bowles said. “So oftentimes we use the analogy that PorchLight is kind of like the mall.

e stores in the mall are our partners and the services that are provided.”

He gave an example. “Our medical services are provided through St. Anthony’s forensic nursing programs,” Bowles explained. “Our navigators are kind of like personal shoppers. So, they’re the ones that know what is on sale at all the stores, what’s on discount. If you want to nd a pair of orange shoes, they’re going to tell you which store to go to. So that’s kind of an easy way to think about it.”

Organizations like PorchLight be-

“I think we’re more focused on the relationship with clients and really providing opportunities for the community to build their resilience,” Ryant said. “To nd their support system, to create awareness around various wellness tools and/or programs that are out there. And not only the ones we o er but that are out there for people who may be struggling, who just need a friend.”

Ryant went on to say that helping his target demographic — the youth of the Denver Metro area — requires providing services and a space for their families as well.

AOPYO is not the only organization that provides services for the entire family. Gigi’s Playhouse of Denver in Lakewood provides a space and services for kids and adults with Down syndrome. ese services include education, tness, wellness, occupational skills, support groups and more. However, there is also programming that the family can use.

“ e value that we’re giving to these families is astronomical,” said Leslie Klane, executive director of Gigi’s Denver. “It’s not just in the fact that the services are free, but it’s in helping the families (and the person with Down syndrome) move on that path towards a future of independence and a good quality of life of enjoying life.”

ese organizations and others believe the bene ts of the holistic approach is yielding results.

For example, Gigi’s Playhouse Denver volunteers have developed a cutting-edge tness program GigiFit, for kids with Down Syndrome. According to Klane, the program is being used around the world.

“We have two physicians locally, in Wheat Ridge. ey co-designed GigiFit,” Klane explained. “It’s about mobility, dexterity, exibility and its movement.”

Klane said the doctors designed the program to help Denver families at rst.

“But then it became national, then international,” Klane said. She said GigiFit classes are virtual, with participants from all over the world.   AOPYO’s best success stories come from the people who came back to help work at the company once their time with the program nished.

An example is Lex Cacciatori, the AOPYO communications support specialist. Cacciatori said she entered the program at a volatile time in her adolescence. e organization’s approach helped steer her to a better life.

“It’s not just supportiveness, energy and the community, but the people of AOPYO,” Cacciatore said. “ ey’ve really supported me through a lot of things personally, academically and in every aspect of my life.”

She said Ryant even checked in with her throughout college to provide the much-needed support and encouragement.

HOLISTIC

Dr. G.C. Di Laura, language specialist at AOPYO, said the center and Ryant helped her whole family. Di Laura said that she rst came to the program years ago to seek support for her daughter.

“ e atmosphere that they create, the openness, a safe it’s so hard to nd these places, especially for the youth,” Di Laura said. “As a parent, my daughter also went through the program. And Pos (Ryant) was amazing for her. We had very hard personal di culties at that time.”

Di Laura said Ryant and the organization helped her whole family with wellness, mental health, academic support and providing a community.

Some other local organizations that provide holistic help include:

• Marisol Homes of Denver is a women’s shelter that runs a holistic program for clients. e program includes services and support in employment, housing, health care, mental health awareness wellness and more.

• Hope House of Colorado in Arvada calls its holistic approach “selfsu ciency programming” used to help teen mothers in the Denver Metro area. e organization provides wellness, education, career, social support and more for teen mothers.

• e Arc of Colorado has locations all across the state and the U.S. It provides services and support for adults and kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Additionally, Arc provides mental, career, education and wellness services for their clients.

• Avi at Old Towne in Arvada holds 30 apartments for former foster kids who have “aged out” of the system and are no longer eligible for services. CASA of Je erson and Gilpin Counties partners with Foothills Regional Housing to create housing for 30 of the teens. e program also provides services in mentorship, wellness, and support with career and education.

SeriesFest celebrates a decade of television greatness

There are many things about SeriesFest, the annual event that celebrates emerging and underserved voices in episodic storytelling, that make it truly unique. But what really stands out as the event reaches its 10th season is how it charts a decade’s worth of change in television – both in programming and how people access shows.

“When I think back to that rst year, we didn’t know what to expect and weren’t sure if anybody was going to come,” said Randi Kleiner, co-founder and CEO of SeriesFest. “Now looking back, we’ve had so many success stories of shows that launched here, like ‘Mr. Robot’ and ‘Yellowstone,’ that people watch and love.”

Fittingly for a milestone year like this, the event is bigger than ever, with more great programming to watch, panels to attend and unique events to take part in.

“My recommendation for attendees, especially new ones, is to choose an independent pilot block, a network screening and a panel and from there, you can see what you gravitate towards,” Kleiner said. “What you’ll nd is the festival is all about

community — anyone who comes through the Sie FilmCenter doors will feel that.”

is year’s pilots lineup is more wide-ranging than ever, with 45 independently produced pilots available to see. is includes international pilots, which is a rarity at these types of events. Attendees can select from shorts, dramas, comedies and more.

Some of the panels that are worth checking out include “It’s In the Details: Costume Design for Television,” which features costumers for shows like “Outlander,” “Queen Charlotte” and “Yellowstone,” and a screening and discussion of the hilarious SYFY show “Resident Alien.” Creator, executive producer and writer Chris Sheridan and actor Sara Tomko will both be in attendance.

10075 Commons St., is taking this to a thrilling new level with Cirque de la Symphonie and the Boulder Phil. e event will be held at the center at 7 p.m. on Sunday, May 5, and will delight audiences with a unique pairing of music and acrobatics. e Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the region’s best orchestral groups and Cirque de la Symphonie is well-known for its unique and enrapturing approach to movement synchronized to music.

Ain’t No Party Like the Denver Derby Party

For special events, the SeriesFest Soiree Fundraiser Gala is the biggest event of the whole festival. e organization will be honoring Minnie Driver, Mark Duplass, SAG-AFTRA, Shondaland and Betsy Beers, as well as celebrating 20 years of “Grey’s Anatomy,” with cast and creatives in-person. “Grey’s” is getting its own special legacy celebration, featuring showrunner Meg Marinis and actors James Pickens Jr, Kevin McKidd, Camilla Luddington, Caterina Scorsone and Kim Raver. And as always, the festival wraps up at Red Rocks, this year with a dance party celebrating Beyoncé’s new album, “Cowboy Carter,” featuring Young Guru and special guests from the album.

“ ere is so much programming this year, and so much talent taking part, that I hope people come check it out as I know they will get hooked,” Kleiner said. “We’re always trying to expand our audience and I hope people embrace the festival and have the insightful conversations that really move the needle forward in the industry.”

will is a key component of any estate plan, but it’s not enough

When most people think of estate planning, usually writing out their will comes to mind. A will can help you accomplish a number of important estate planning goals; however it is certainly not a complete plan to protect your future. A will allows you to control how your assets are distributed after you pass away. If you don’t have a will (intestate), your assets will be distributed in accordance with Colorado’s intestacy succession laws that determine who will inherit your estate. is is known as intestate succession in which Colorado acts in an objective and procedural manner to ensure your assets are distributed. e process of intestate succession completely ignores your wishes because what you “would have wanted” is simply irrelevant to the state

without a formal will in place.

A will is also critical when you have minor children. Under a will, you dictate the guardian who will raise your minor children, you dictate the conservator who will control the money on behalf of your children, and you dictate the terms and conditions as to how and when your children gain  control of the money. However, without a will, a court decides who will raise your children and who will tend to the money on their behalf until the child turns 21, and the court may appoint people that you yourself never would have selected.

A will is an important document to create so you can rest assured your wishes will be respected after you’ve passed away. Yet, it’s important to consider the limitations of a will as well. For instance, your will does not determine who will manage your affairs should you become incapacitated.

Estate planning involves more than just a will that only comes into play at death, you also need to establish documents that will come into play in in life should you become incapacitated. Creating a durable power of attorney for nancial purposes and advanced medical directives will ensure that you retain some control over what is done on your behalf if you become incapacitated. Each of these documents empowers one or more individuals to make decisions about your assets or medical care when you are unable. If you do not have either document in place, a court will decide who to appoint to ll these roles for you.

e court appointed agent would have the power to take actions they believe are in your best interest regardless of your personal preferences.

Further, certain nancial accounts allow for a bene ciary designation form, instead of a will, for guidance on how the asset is to be distributed after the owner’s passing. is types of assets include life insurance, annuities, retirement accounts like IRAs and 401(k)s.  When there is a completed designated bene ciary

form, many court cases have concluded that the owner’s statements and intent in his or her will do not matter if they contradict what was written on the bene ciary designation form. is is why it’s important to also review your bene ciary designations periodically to ensure they re ect your wishes now, and not what you wanted when, for example, you opened the IRA 20 years ago.

A revocable trust is another estate planning tool that is used to provide a greater level of exibility in how your estate is managed in life and in death. In life, if you become incapacitated, your successor trustee takes control and manages your estate under your terms. In death, a revocable trust allows your estate to avoid probate as well as the public scrutiny that accompanies it.

In short, while a will can help you accomplish important goals, additional estate planning tools and strategies are available to protect you and your loved ones both after you pass away and in the event of tragedy while you are still alive.

Northglenn City Hall construction progresses

Construction on the new Northglenn City Hall continues to progress. If you haven’t been by the site on Community Center Drive, you may want to take a look as the building as it is well de ned at this stage.

Key activities/accomplishments in the April report show that drywall nishing on the rst oor is being accomplished. Also, mechanical, electrical and plumbing rough inspections are taking place. us far, from a nancial point of

view, 59% of the project budget has been expended. e report to city council shows a total project budget of $33,780,000 with $19,920,475 having been spent. Substantial completion is scheduled for the 3rd quarter of this year. e City of Northglenn can certainly be proud of this latest public building in regard to their Civic Center. Now, they just need to nd a new private development partner to move forward on the city-owned land set aside for private development.

Syphilis cases in Colorado are exploding

Syphilis is among the most brutal diseases known to humans, but it is also among the sneakiest.

Dr. Michelle Barron, an infectious disease expert with UCHealth, calls it “the great masquerader.” Early symptoms in adults are often painless, temporary and easy to miss. After that, the disease can lie silent in the body for years until it makes itself known.

And Colorado, like other states across the country, is now dealing with the devastating impacts that can occur when syphilis goes undetected and untreated.

Since 2018, syphilis cases in the state have more than tripled, to 3,266 last year from 1,084 in 2018. ose 2018 numbers were already a signicant jump from previous years.

What is especially brutal is that syphilis, a bacterial disease primarily transmitted through sex, can be spread in utero from moms to babies. Colorado saw 50 such cases of congenital syphilis last year, up from seven in 2018. ere have been 25 congenital cases reported this year, putting the state on track to potentially reach 100 cases before year end.

“ is is easily treated,” Gov. Jared Polis said at a recent news conference, “but it can be very harmful and deadly for babies.”

Of the 25 cases of congenital syphilis so far this year, ve resulted in stillbirths or miscarriages and two ended in death shortly after birth.

To combat this rise in syphilis cases among infants, the state Health Department on late last month issued a public health order requiring medical providers to step up testing for syphilis infections in people who are pregnant.

State law already requires that licensed medical professionals test for syphilis during the rst trimester of pregnancy. e public health order expands that to require testing be offered also during the third trimester and at the time of delivery. It must also be o ered when there is a fetal death after 20 weeks of gestation.

“Pregnant people have to be offered the test, they do not have to take it,” Jill Hunsaker Ryan, the executive director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said.

Syphilis is a multistage disease that most often rst appears in adults as a painless sore in the location where the infection rst entered the body. at heals, though, and then the disease lies dormant for a few weeks until a fever or rash appears. e immune system can also beat that back, leading to what is known as latent syphilis.

Some people can then have a third phase, when the disease roars back in attacks that can a ect eyesight, hearing, muscle movement and cognitive ability.

Syphilis is treated through common antibiotics.

“ e good news here is that syphilis is curable and treatment will save lives,” Dr. Rachel Herlihy, the state epidemiologist, said.

e state’s public health e orts focus especially on populations currently with higher rates of disease — those who are homeless, who are incarcerated or who use injection drugs. e public health order requires syphilis testing be performed at correctional facilities and also when a patient who is pregnant shows up at an urgent care or emergency room during the rst or third trimesters.

e state has also expanded a pilot program originally started in Pueblo County that provided expanded testing to people incarcerated at the county jail. Sheri David Lucero said the program has screened 634 people for syphilis, with 182 — more than a quarter — testing positive. Of those, seven were pregnant.

“Without a doubt, this program saves lives,” he said.

Herlihy said the reasons that syphilis is increasing, both in Colorado and nationwide, are unclear. It is also not entirely certain why there are higher rates of syphilis in incarcerated or homeless populations.

“ e association here probably has to do with access to prenatal care and complicating factors in individuals’ lives that are leading to them not receiving prenatal care,” Herlihy said.

is is an important point because it shows that there is no reason for syphilis to remain disproportionately within those populations. Barron, the UCHealth doctor, said she has seen patients who are positive for syphilis and surprised by the diagnosis. ey did not think they were at risk and had not noticed any symptoms.

“Anyone who is engaging in unprotected sex could transmit this and not be aware of it,” she said.

For people with health insurance, syphilis testing is covered without a copay, and people on Medicaid also can be tested at no out-of-pocket cost.

Barron said wider testing is the key to controlling Colorado’s skyrocketing infection numbers.

“ e goal is to prevent these longterm complications that can be terrible,” she said, “also ensure that we can help prevent transmission by treating these individuals proactively.”

A ordable Connectivity Program is ending soon

Colorado is working on alternatives to a discount internet program

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

An extra $30 a month may not mean much to most people, but to Kathryn Beerline, a Lakewood resident, the monthly federal subsidy that has paid for her internet service has helped her save money to buy a 15-year-old used car for herself so she could give her even older vehicle

to her son.

e subsidy ends in May when funding for the A ordable Connectivity Program is expected to run out. While supporters, including the White House, are scrambling to get Congress to extend the program, internet providers and ACP customers have to nd alternatives. Beerline said she switched this week to Comcast’s least expensive service, at $9.99 a month for 50 Mbps down, which is half the speed she’d received under ACP but one-third the price, which she’ll now pay. She’s grateful for the extra assistance.

“ACP has been paying my $29.99 bill every month and it has been a

tremendous boost as I am a single mom,” Beerline said in an email when she rst learned that ACP was ending in February. e $30 means a lot to someone like herself “who chooses not to ever eat out, get a Starbucks and only treat myself and my son to seeing a movie at a theater maybe two to three times/year so I can put the only extra (money) left after paying bills into savings.”

low-cost broadband service rate not to exceed $50, if the ACP subsidy is no longer o ered by the federal government,” she said.

She added that the NTIA hasn’t approved Colorado’s proposal yet. And it is unlikely there will be a state solution by May, when ACP funding runs out.

Beerline is one of the estimated 251,506 Colorado households enrolled in the program. at’s 1 in 9 households in the state and 23 million households nationwide, according to the Federal Communications Commission. While a proposal in Congress has gained momentum to use $7 billion to extend ACP funding through the end of the year, the bipartisan bill doesn’t have enough support yet.

“Nearly half of the households that are in ACP are military families. About a quarter of them are seniors. And because of the programs, so many of those folks are able to pay a small reasonable, a ordable price for internet and for people who are low income, a lot of them are able to access it for free. at’s a big deal and it is something that we ought to make sure is maintained,” said Jon Donenberg, a deputy director on President Biden’s National Economic Council.

Colorado searches for alternative

Colorado o cials have been scrambling to nd an alternative should ACP end. In January, when it awarded $113.5 million to 27 mostly rural projects to build better ber-based broadband, the Colorado Broadband O ce required internet providers to include a low-cost option equivalent to or better than the ACP.

An even larger amount — the previously announced $826.5 million that Colorado is getting from the federal Broadband Equity Access and Deployment program — is set to be doled out later this year. State o cials have been working with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to gure out if they could add a low-income requirement. at nally appears to be moving forward, said Lauren Francis, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Broadband O ce.

“After working on several drafts with NTIA, we intend to go with the requirement that providers o er a

“ e loss of this program will denitely have impact,” Francis said.  ACP grew out of federal COVID-19 relief aid to help low-income households pay for internet service during the pandemic, which decimated school attendance and made remote learning a challenge for students with limited or internet access. Initially, the amount was $50 a month as part of the Emergency Broadband Benet. ACP replaced EBB in January 2022 and cut the amount to $30 a month. Households on tribal lands received $75 a month.

Both programs were open to residents already eligible for other government-assistance programs, such as Medicaid, food stamps or free and reduced school lunch.

But neither broadband program ever attracted the majority of eligible users. Early on, internet providers criticized the challenges of getting customers enrolled while digital divide advocates said there was no funding for outreach. ose issues were addressed in the ACP rollout, which still had mixed results. Only about one-third of Colorado’s eligible 761,000 households are enrolled in ACP. Some potential customers worried about what happens when the money runs out. But ultimately, more than 250,000 enrolled in Colorado.

In Colorado, ACP enrollees are largely outside the Denver area, which has the second highest number of participants, according to FCC data. e state’s 3rd Congressional District has the highest, with more than 51,292 households enrolled and 18% of the community, according to FCC data.

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, who represents CD3, said she doesn’t support additional spending.

“We are approaching $35 trillion in debt and the federal government ruins nearly everything,” she said. “I don’t think that more federal subsidies towards projects like that are what’s our necessity right now.”

Parents may qualify for grocery money

Summer EBT program to o er up $120 per child

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT

Starting in June, hundreds of thousands of low-income Colorado families will get $120 per child to pay for groceries during summer break.

e program, called Summer EBT, aims to help parents of children who attend preschool through 12th grade in public schools pay for food when free school meals are unavailable or harder to access. State o cials expect families of more than 300,000 children to bene t.

A Colorado law passed during a special legislative session in November enabled the state to join the new program, which is mostly funded by the federal government with a small contribution from the state. Nearly three dozen states are o ering the program this year.

In recent years, Colorado has taken several steps to reduce the number of children who go hungry in the state. Starting this school year, the vast ma-

Donenberg, who advises Biden on economic policy, said the president’s hope is that there is a permanent program and this could buy Congress more time to gure out what that could be.

“ e president has indicated in his budget for this year that we would like to see a long-term, sustainable funding solution here for maintaining the program, because

jority of Colorado students can get free school meals regardless of family income because of a universal meal program approved by voters in 2022. A program similar to Summer EBT was in place during the pandemic, but it expired last summer.

Colorado families are eligible for Summer EBT cards if they receive public bene ts such as SNAP, Medicaid, or Colorado Works, or if their children qualify for free or reduced-price school meals.

Most families will automatically receive a letter in May for each child eligible for Summer EBT, with preloaded cards arriving in the mail shortly after.

To access the money on the card, families must set up a personal identi cation number. ey can do this by calling 888-328-2656, entering the card number, and following the prompts.

Families who believe their child is eligible for Summer EBT, but who didn’t receive an eligibility letter can contact the Summer EBT Support Center at 800-536-5298 (text 720-7410550) or email cdhs_sebt_supportcenter@state.co.us.

GOP blocks sex abuse legislation

Measure would have asked voters to let sex abuse victims sue their abusers

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Republicans in the Colorado Senate blocked the legislature from asking voters to amend the state constitution to let victims of child sex abuse from decades past sue their abusers even if the statute of limitations has run out.

Senate Concurrent Resolution 1, which would have sent the question to the November ballot, needed a supermajority of support to pass the chamber. It failed by a single vote.

Democrats hold a 23-12 advantage in the Senate, one vote shy of a supermajority. Democrats were united in favor of the resolution. No Republicans would join them, citing concerns about the constitutionality of the measure and how it could bankrupt institutions like churches and school districts.

Senate Minority Leader Paul Lundeen, R-Monument, said Tuesday in a speech on the Senate oor he couldn’t vote for the resolution.

“I do not take this vote lightly,” he said. “In some ways it’s the hard-

est vote of my legislative career. My heart breaks for those who were so wrongly and horribly injured. And my vote is cast in defense of the constitution and legal principles each and every one of us, and future generations as well, rely on in protection of our civil society.”

Republicans wanted to amend the resolution to let victims only sue their abusers and not the institutions that may have allowed the abuse to happen.

Democrats argued that voting in favor of the resolution should be easy.

“Why are we wanting to limit justice for someone who was abused as a child?” asked Sen. Rhonda Fields, an Aurora Democrat and a main sponsor of the resolution.

e resolution was brought this year in response to a Colorado Supreme Court decision in June striking down a provision in a bipartisan 2021 law that gave victims of child sex assault dating back to the 1960s for whom the statute of limitations had run out a three-year window to sue their abusers and the institutions that allowed their abuse.

e court ruled the law, Senate Bill 88, violated a provision in the constitution prohibiting the General Assembly from reviving a claim for which the statute of limitations has run out.

e statute of limitations used to give child sex abuse survivors in Colorado six years after they turned 18 to le legal action. Most child sex abuse survivors wait decades before revealing their abuse.

e Colorado Sun in 2020 pro led a man who waited until he was 45 to reveal that he had been abused as a child by a priest who was a constant gure in their lives. “When I look back, the reason I didn’t say anything is because I didn’t want to hurt my family,” the man, Neil Elms, said.

( e six-year limitation was repealed in 2021 through the passage of Senate Bill 73, a second measure, but the change only applied to current and future cases.)

Senate Concurrent Resolution 1 was aimed at overcoming that constitutional hurdle. And proponents of the measure introduced it with the expectation that the Republicans in the Capitol who backed Senate Bill 88 would vote for the resolution. Senate Bill 88 passed the Senate 33-3.

It quickly became clear that wouldn’t happen, and Senate Concurrent Resolution 1 languished in the chamber for months as one of its main sponsors, Sen. Jessie Danielson, a Wheat Ridge Democrat, tried to secure a Republican vote.

e resolution was brought up for debate this week even though it

remained unclear if it had enough support to pass.

Danielson told e Colorado Sun earlier this month that she was committed to bringing the resolution up for a vote in the Senate before the end of session May 8.

“I’m putting them on the record,” she said of the Republicans who have refused to back the measure.

“ ey’re going to vote.”

In asking Republicans Wednesday to vote for the resolution, she warned them about consequences if they didn’t.

“ is is a legacy de ning moment,” she said in an impassioned speech on the chamber’s oor.

“And although you make like to determine how this vote will be perceived, you cannot. e public gets to decide how this vote will be perceived.”

Democrats hold a supermajority in the House, and Danielson said the resolution should have been able to easily clear that chamber if she had been able to get it out of the Senate.

Ballot measures changing the state constitution require the support of 55% of voters to pass. is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonpro t based in Denver that covers the state.

Plans

MacKenzie Scott gift seeds program to help Colorado’s youngest children

A $2.5 million gift from billionaire MacKenzie Scott will jump-start a new grant program that aims to improve outcomes for Colorado’s youngest children.

Early Milestones Colorado, a statewide policy and research group, received the donation from Scott last year after what leaders there describe as an exciting and mysterious process. ey used the gift to create the Impact on Equity Fund, which will begin awarding $100,000 grants this fall to Colorado organizations that work on prenatal and birth-to-3 issues.

e new grant program comes during a challenging moment for Colorado’s youngest children: Federal COVID relief funds for early childhood are drying up, and, in recent years, much of the state’s energy has gone toward 4-year-olds served by the state’s new tuition-free preschool program.

Jennifer Merva Stedron, executive director of Early Milestones Colora-

do, said the youngest Coloradans and their families need more help. She cited the state’s rising maternal mortality rate, mediocre toddler vaccination rates, and billions in economic losses because working parents can’t nd care for babies and toddlers.

“It’s just not good enough,” she said.

“We’re a better state than that.”

Merva Stedron said the new Impact on Equity grants — up to 10 this year — will be given to groups that propose innovative local early childhood e orts.

“We feel very, very rmly that those that are closest to the problem really have the solutions,” she said.

Early Milestones was one of at least three Colorado organizations that received gifts last year from Scott, a philanthropist who received a 4% stake in Amazon as part of her divorce settlement with Amazon founder Je Bezos.

Valley Settlement, which provides a mobile preschool program and other services to Latino and immigrant families in the Roaring Fork Valley, received $2 million from Scott. Par-

ent Possible, which provides home visiting and early learning programs to families with young children statewide, received $1 million.

Merva Stedron said she learned about the prospect for a major donation — though Scott was not initially named — when Early Milestones received an “out-of-the-blue” email in January 2023. e rm that sent the email, which she later learned vets potential recipients of Scott’s fortune, requested “loads and loads” of documents and an interview.

In the interview that month, sta from the rm told Merva Stedron, “If you don’t hear anything by the end of the year, you didn’t get a grant,” she said.

Even then, the Early Milestones team didn’t know who was giving out the money, how much was being awarded, or how much competition there was for the funds. Several months later, they learned the organization had been selected.

Merva Stedron, who hopes Scott’s donation will help attract another $7.5 million in donations for the Impact on Equity Fund, calls the money “a dream come true.”

Applications for the Impact on Equity grants are slated to open in June. Organizations can sign up here for noti cations about the program. Chalkbeat is a nonpro t news site covering educational change in public schools.

“ is easy-to-use tool will help Coloradans maximize these incentives to pay the lowest possible cost for home energy upgrades, which reduce pollution and save them money on utility costs.”

e calculator was the brainchild of the nonpro t Rewiring America and the Google.org Fellows. Rewiring America is an organization that promotes electrifying communities. According to the governor’s announcement, the Google.org Fellows are a team of engineers, program managers, and other IT experts who work on pro bono projects.

“Collaborating with Rewiring America enabled our Google.org Fellows to support the creation of a crosscountry impact by helping American households take advantage of these new electri cation incentives,” said Bhavna Chhabra, senior director of software engineering and Google’s

Boulder o ce lead. “It’s a great example of how advanced technology, like AI, can be leveraged in a bold and responsible way. As a Coloradan, I’m proud that our state is leading on climate solutions at the household level.”

e savings calculator also has language translation capabilities and is designed to be easy to operate. e collaborators hope that the tool helps households reduce their climate impact without economic compromises.

“We’re thrilled to launch this new tool in a state that is truly leading the way on residential electri cation, thanks to Gov. Polis’ leadership and the e ort of so many advocates,” said Ari Matusiak, CEO of Rewiring America. “We look forward to continuing to work in partnership to make these important home upgrades more affordable and accessible to all. With this calculator, households in Colorado are only a few clicks away from the next steps on their electri cation journey.”

Girls flag football sanctioned by CHSAA

Colorado becomes 11th state to legitimize the sport

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A recent vote by the Colorado High School Activities Association sanctioned girls ag football as an o cial sport.

Passing by a vote of 57-9 with ve abstentions, there will be two classi cations this fall for girls ag football. It is CHSAA’s 27th sanctioned sport. After a highly successful pilot program in the past two years, CHSAA set the sport in stone.

Colorado joins Tennessee, New York, Florida, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Illinois, California, Alaska and Alabama as states to sanction girls ag football.

Several area schools have developed ag football pilot programs, including Valor Christian, Arvada West, Cherry Creek, Legend, Mountain Vista, Elizabeth and more.

Last October, Arvada West defeated Cherry Creek 34-14 in the

“It’s fun for the girls to make some new friends, play a game that they’ve always just had to watch,” said Darren Pitzner, the coach for the Legend High School girls’ team. “For me growing up, I was always drawing up plays in the dirt and developed a love for the game that way. e girls have made a lot of friends, a ton of smiles and a ton of highlights.”

e sport received funding from the Denver Broncos during the pilot period.

“In addition to providing an amazing platform for empowerment, inclusion and teamwork, girls ag creates a powerful sense of belonging and community for our next generation of leaders,” Broncos Owner Carrie Walton Penner said in a statement. ough last year’s postseason was held at the Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse at the Denver Broncos’ Center Health Training Center, future postseason details for 5A and 4A will need to be determined.

CHSAA adopts shot clock for varsity teams

Teams will be on the clock starting in 2026

BY STEVE SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

After several months of debate, the Colorado High School Activities Association formally adopted the use of a 35-second shot clock in prep basketball. e decision came during the association’s legislative council meeting on April 23.

e change takes e ect in the 2026-2027 school year for varsity boys and girls teams. e association’s legislative council approved it by a margin of almost 3-to-2.

e agenda said those in favor cited a need to prepare players for college basketball’s shot clock, an improved pace of play and the chance to reward good defense.

ose opposed pointed to initial set-up costs (perhaps between $3,000 and $10,000, depending on the electrical structure of the gym, according to the agenda), the potential increased cost for game workers and for training a shot clock operator.

ere was no discussion during the council’s meeting.

ere were two other shot-clock proposals on the agenda. Supporters withdrew one agenda item after the council approved the shot-clock item. e second, which would

have applied to class 6A schools only, failed.

e council also turned down a bid to increase the size of the state basketball tournament from 32 to 40 teams. Fifty-seven percent voted no.

e proposal called for the top 24 teams to receive a rst-round bye.

Chaparral Athletic Director Rob Johnson said players and coaches want to be able to play in one last tournament game.

“Scheduling really helps,” he said. “Many of these programs want a competitive, rst-round game. It’s a chance for (seeds) 25 to 40 to have a competitive, fun playo experience.”

No one spoke in opposition.

The Colorado High School Activities Association’s board of directors o cially approved the use of a 35-second shot clock, e ective in the 2026-2027 school year.

Arvada West junior Sara Walker makes some downfield moves after matching a catch during the girls flag football state championship game against Cherry Creek in October 2023. CHSSA has agreed to sanction the sport.

Eldora claims ski patrollers’ vote to unionize was tainted

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

Ski patrollers at Eldora Mountain Resort have overwhelmingly approved unionized representation, but the company that owns the resort is challenging the results of the recent vote.

An Eldora spokesman said the resort company “learned that improper conduct impacted the ability of our patrollers to participate in an election free of improper in uence or coercion.”

Eldora objected to the fact that union representatives and ski patrollers did not want to include votes by volunteer ski patrollers.

“Patrollers have the right to vote. If certi ed, a union would represent all patrollers,” the spokesman said in an emailed statement. “ erefore, all patrollers deserve to have a voice and their vote considered.”

Eldora ski patrollers voted 29-3 to join the United Professional Ski Patrols of America union, which is part of the 700,000-worker Communications Workers of America district 7.

Paid patroller turnout for the election was 76% but only half of Eldora’s 14 volunteer patrollers voted.
