Highlighting progress and inequities in local schools

BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

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

“Unconstrained school choice programs… often add a layer of strati cation on top of the existing residential strati cation,” Welner said.

one nominee as a district judge under the Colorado Constitution for the Seventeenth Judicial District within 15 days from the announcement date, which comes out to Feb. 11.

Douglas, Je erson among the top counties for speeders

El Paso county tops list for the speeding citations

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Colorado State Patrol has, once again, pinpointed the state’s ve counties that attracted the most speeding citations in 2024 and two are right here in the Denvermetro area.

Troopers say drivers in El Paso County got the most speeding tickers last year with 2,161. Douglas and Je erson counties are ranked number two and three respectively, with Douglas collecting 862 citations followed by Je erson with 831. Rounding out the top ve is Fremont County with 727 and Mesa County with 684, according to a CSP news release.

El Paso, Douglas and Jefferson counties have remained the top ve counties for speeding citations for the past four years, the CSP states. is is the third consecutive time in four years

that Fremont County has entered the top ve and this is the rst time in four years for Mesa County. e top ve roadways in 2024 for speeding charges by highest speeding intervals issued by the CSP were: I-70, I-25 followed by state highways 50, 24 and 285. e top four roadways have held their respective top positions for six consecutive years,

the CSP states. Highway 285 broke into the top ve in 2022 and has held that spot for the last two years.

Col. Matthew Packard, chief of the CSP, said drivers in 2025 need to lighten up on the accelerator and be more aware of their speeding habits in the new year.

“ e temptation to speed may be all around you, but you won’t get out of a ticket

if you violate the law and get pulled over, “ Packard said in a press release. “Our goal isn’t to go out and ticket everyone; we want drivers to do the right thing and drive like a trooper is a passenger in their vehicle. Citations are meant to correct poor driving choices, and you are literally in the driver’s seat to determine the likelihood of a tra c stop.”

Northglenn seeks ideas for rec programs

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Northglenn residents with ideas on how to improve the city’s parks and recreation programming are invited to give their thoughts to the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board.

e board meets ursday, Feb.13, 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, 11701 Community Center

Dr.

e volunteer board makes recommendations to the City Council on contracts and expenditure for projects and holds public hearings for capital improvement projects and recreation services, said Justin Perdue, Northglenn’s Recreation Manager, in an email.

Each year the board host a public hearing so residents may share comments, thoughts, ideas and recommend improvements to Northglenn parks and recreation programs, Perdue said.

RTD adds detective bureau to enhance safety

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

As the bureau works out protocols for working with the eight counties in the agency’s district, the department will be able to le its own cases and carry out investigations on related cases that occur in di erent municipalities. As an example, Cousineau pointed to last year’s copper wire thefts from RTD tracks.

recreation programming could improve or a great idea you’d like to share, now is the time,” he said.

Northglenn Parks and Recreation already strives to o er diverse and inclusive programming for the community, Perdue said, o ering opportunities for play, exercise, socialization, and en-

richment in numerous forms. “ is includes informal activities like lap and open swimming, basketball, volleyball, strength training, walking and running, card games, technology classes, and book clubs,” Perdue said.

ere are also formal programs like swimming les-

sons, personal training, preschool, summer day camp, youth and adult sports leagues, outdoor education, performing arts, technical theatre, and much more, he said. For more information on the Feb. 13 meeting, contact Candice Marchese at 303-280-7821 or cmarchese@nrothglenn.org.

“If a copper wire theft happens in Aurora on our property and the wire was valued at $900, that’s a misdemeanor crime; we would hand it over to the Aurora Police Department,” Cousineau said. “Let’s say the same $900 copper wire theft happened a week later in ornton, and then a week later at Lakewood. e bene t of having our own detective bureau is that we can assign our detectives to all those cases. is changes the crime from being a misdemeanor to a felony-level crime.”

e RTD-PD had aimed to establish a fully functioning detective bureau to le criminal cases in jurisdictions throughout its service area prior to the copper wire thefts in 2024. e thefts “were de nitely a catalyst for us to get the bureau established more quickly,” Cousineau said.

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

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

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

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

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

Real Estate Commission Says Clients,

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

Not Their Br okers, Should Choose Settlement Service Providers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In Memoriam: Our Free Moving Truck Has Bit the Dust

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

provide free moving boxes and packing materials — still a nice benefit. We have decided not to replace the truck but to rent U-Haul trucks when the need arises.

We are sorry that so many worthy nonprofits are losing access to a free box truck, but I’m hopeful they’ll find another company which can lend them one. Many self-storage companies have free box trucks for clients to use. Maybe one of them will do what we did.

Anythink ventures into the virtual

New Metaverse branch o ers access and areas to explore

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Anythink Libraries operates seven different branches across Adams County, but its newest branch isn’t anywhere on Earth.

Instead, it’s a virtual branch located in the metaverse.

“During the pandemic, we all switched our lives to be a bit more online, with Zoom calls and Google Meets and all that,” said Robbie Wroblewski, communications manager for Anythink Libraries. “So Anythink decided that there was a lot of opportunity there. We needed to create for people a place to observe and learn and interact with the community, but in an online area.”

Anythink o cially launched Anythink World, the library’s virtual branch, Jan. 23. It’s available free of charge to all Anythink library cardholders.

Cardholders and the curious can access the new branch from the library district’s website, anythinklibraries.org.

e new online o ering is designed to change how libraries engage with their customers and the communities they serve. ere are two online areas. First is e Island, a wide open explorable area with meeting pods to talk with friends and interact with surroundings. It includes online versions of the Anythink in Motion mobile library as well as a digital version of artist Jayson Fann’s interactive sculpture Spirit Nest, which is located

outside at the Anythink Wright Farms location.

“I had to log in there yesterday morning because I needed to look at something, and there were four kids there and they were running around and playing hideand-seek,” Wroblewski said. “We don’t even have formal games set up there, and they were playing, so I think there is something bound to be born out of that.”

e Island will o er di erent adventures, scavenger hunts and gaming activities for users to explore.

e second area is the Campus, meant to be more of a traditional library. Anythink plans to host book clubs and other virtual meetings there. Anythink is hosting a virtual tour at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 7 accessible via the library’s website.

“What we are trying to do is o er some of the Anythink experience people have in person. We’re trying to bring that to the virtual realm,” Wroblewski said. “ is is about access as much as it is about innovation. We have a population in Adams County that cannot make it to their local library for all of these programs. It might have to do with disability or neurodivergence that keeps them from being a part of these things. So this space gives a new opportunity for people to access the services the library o ers.”

Visitors can’t read books on the virtual site but can access links that load on their computer’s browser, including the Anythink book catalog, job listings and events.

“When people think of libraries, they think of books, right?” he said. “Unfortunately, right now we just dont’ have the server space for us to be able to do that, along with all the licensing that we’d have

to do to get E-books in there. But they do have links in both the Campus and the Island that to out to our catalogs. So if you see something that inspires you to read a book, you can click right through and go nd it.”

Everything is built using the Unreal Engine, behind video games like Fortnight, Skyrim and Elder Scrolls. e Island streams its signal via the Eagle 3b streaming service, while e Campus relies on Framer. Regular users can customize the

look of their on-screen avatars, choosing their gender, body shape and adding customizations and embellishments like hats, costumes and what not.

Like other metaverses, Anythink World is accessible on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.

“We want people to get into this space, we want them to explore it and see who they can utilize it in their everyday lives,” Wroblewski said.

A year of regaining footing for RTD

Expanded security, new police chief top CEO’s agenda for 2025

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Regional Transportation District CEO Debra Johson sees 2025 as a year when the agency stabilizes itself, regains some commuter routes and expands security for passengers who rely on trains and buses to get them to their home or jobs.

As far back as 2021, RTD began looking at expanding the number of the agency’s police o cers who could patrol bus and train stops, she said.

“It was a time of civil unrest…and there was some angst on how RTD t into that safety question,” Johnson said last week. “It really was an issue on how we can make our passengers lives better.”

Beginning May 5, RTD’s Transit Police Department will be sta ng bus and train stops 24/7 to enhance the safety of RTD’s frontline employees and customers. Last year, RTD launched a Transit Police – or RTD-PD – cadet program for full-time col-

SAFETY

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

lege students in the Denver metro area pursuing a criminal justice or related degree to boost the ranks of transit o cers. is e ort was enhanced by the addition of K-9 units across the agency’s 2,342-square-mile district, including transportation hubs such as Denver Union Station, the A Line to the airport and other commuter and rail lines and buses, the agency said.

Passengers can also access a transit watch app on their telephones that can alert o cers to problems on board a bus or train, Johnson said.

“ ese are some of the elements can reap bene ts for passengers and employees,” Johnson said.

RTD is also working to select a new police chief to oversee security e orts, Johnson said. e agency has hired a national search rm to get a new chief soon, she said.

RTD’s previous police chief, Joel Fitzgerald, was let go even though the transit agency has refused to tell the pub-

lic why, according to media reports. Colorado’s Peace O cer Standards and Training Database, a function of the Colorado Attorney General’s O ce, says Fitzgerald was “terminated for cause,” according to Channel 9 news.

Fitzgerald had been on leave since early July, but RTD has refused to answer questions about Fitzgerald’s departure and declined to say if he quit or was red, Channel 9 states.

Laser focused

At least a dozen top o cials have left RTD since 2021, according to Colorado Public Radio. Gov. Jared Polis has alluded to the agency’s management woes, calling for more budget transparency, accountability and better governance from RTD, according to Denver’s CBS News.

Johnson said the agency is “laser focused” on attracting good employees and retaining others. She said the agency is hiring more operators for its buses and commuter trains, adding recruiting fairs held last year has added reliable employees to RTD’s ranks.

RTD management is also at the bargaining table negotiating with the rank-and-

detectives to the department later in 2025, RTD says. e RTD-PD is also in the process of developing an evidence room to follow the proper chain of custody to hold evidence needed to prosecute cases. Once established, this will mitigate reliance on other police agencies to retain evidence needed to prosecute criminal activity that occurred on RTD property. e agency states in the news release that RTD-PD have taken deliberate strides

le for good competitive wages, she said.

“At RTD we value our employees, and we want us to be market competitive. We weren’t market competitive before and now we want to keep making that competitiveness the case,” Johnson said. RTD is also returning its services to preCOVID levels, adding more frequency to 15 bus routes across its service area. e agency also reinstated the 82-bus route to Denver and DIA and added a new connector route to Denver’s Art District, Johnson said.

However, there are no plans yet to complete RTD’s North Line, Johnson said. e rst 13 miles of the proposed 18.5-mile line provides service from Union Station through Denver, Commerce City, Northglenn, ornton, and eventually North Adams County. e remaining 5.5 miles will provide service to SH 7/162nd Avenue Station.

“We don’t have a funding source (to complete the North Line) at this current time,” Johnson said. She added RTD cannot fund, on its own, a passenger rail system for the Front Range. “We will likely have to partner with others…to provide Front Range passenger rail,” she said.

to grow the force to better support community and employee safety as part of the agency’s “Welcoming Transit Environment” strategic initiative.

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

Trump’s latest shot across the bow

This past Tuesday, Jan. 28, the shot across the bow was felt by thousands of governmental entities, non-pro t organizations, hospitals, research facilities and many others involving the freezing of federal monies.

e announced purpose was to verify alignment with President Trump’s goals and agenda. A lot of us expected it to happen sooner or later as the administration called a “time-out” to review trillions of dollars at play, but the action came sooner than I anticipated it.

e freeze included any funds intended for “foreign aid” among other categories. In the O ce of Management and Budget (OMB) letter which announced the confusing freeze, Matthew J. Vaeth, Acting Director of OMB, stated in part “ e use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve.”

So, you can bet such categories ofnancial assistance from the federal government are “toast” in the eyes of the administration. Needless to say, the whole action could have been handled better and easier, but Trump loves shock and awe.

Later in the day, a federal judge temporarily blocked implementation of the funding freeze. en on Jan. 29 the President rescinded the OMB memo, but not the action on the funds. Trump stated that “ is in no way a ected Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or other entitlements that Americans depend on. We are merely looking at part of the big bureaucracy where there has been tremendous waste and fraud and abuse.”

Colorado high school graduation rates inch up

For those of us who do not have children or grandchildren in PK-12 public schools, we are not as likely to be cognizant of our public schools’ performance. anks to the Colorado Department of Education, each year it publishes graduation rates and student drop out numbers for each school district.

For the 2023-2024 school year, the statewide graduation rate inched up to the highest level seen in more than a decade. Also, student dropout rates declined, but large di erences between student groups continue to persist. e statewide fouryear graduation rate improved 1.1 points to 84.2%. e drop-out rate decreased by 0.2 points to 1.9%.

In raw numbers, this meant 58,318 Colorado students graduated with their diplomas was an approximate 1,500 increase. Hurray!

Two-thirds of the districts improved or stayed the same in four-year graduations. Graduation rates for students who take ve or six years to graduate improved as well.

In our general area, the following graduation rates were reported: Adams 12 Five Star (85.0%), Je erson County (84.6%), Adams 14 (75.9%), Mapleton (71.2%) and Westminster Public Schools (68.6%).

Another key matrix is enrollment. Statewide enrollment per the October, 2024 count showed 881,065 students compared to 881,464 for 2023 or a 399 student

decline (0.1%). Westminster Public Schools showed an increase of 93 students for the current school year with 7,724 compared to 7,631 for 2023.

e increase reverses a multi-year decline in enrollment which is good to see. Further increases are expected in the coming years with e Uplands residential developments coming on line.

Thornton putting new charter amendment to work

At last November’s election, ornton voters approved a city charter amendment whereby the citizenry would select a new council member to ll a vacancy caused by resignation as opposed to the city council making the decision. is would be the case if there is more than a year left in their term of o ce.

Well, the situation evolved where this new policy will be put to use right away. With Ward 1 Council member Kathy Henson being elected to Adams County Commission, it created a vacancy for her seat. She resigned from city council on Nov. 27.

Interested residents who reside in Ward 1 had until Jan. 13 to submit their candidate petitions with voter signatures. Candidates include (per ballot order) Cherish Salazar, Eric Garcia and omas “Tom” Mollendor. Only voters in Ward 1 are eligible to vote in the special election set for March 25.

It’s good to see this policy in place where the people decide their representatives and is being put to use!!

Get ready for federal employees returning to their o ces

One of President Trump’s edicts is to have federal employees return to their respective o ce buildings. He apparently isn’t a fan of the “hybrid system” which evolved after the COVID pandemic subsided where employees are in their ofces two to three days per week with the balance of time working from home.

So, America get ready!

Of course Trump does not have the authority to mandate private sector employees to return to “home base”, but he sure can order federal employees to do so. According to a Colorado Sun article, there are approximately 44,500 federal employees in Colorado. e last known count from April, 2024, reported 11,040 in El Paso County, 7,421 in Denver, 7,285 in Je erson County, 3,932 in Adams County, 2,625 in Larimer County and 1,804 in Boulder County just to highlight the main employment locations.

ere is good news in this presidential pronouncement. It should help return people to downtown Denver in the various federal o ces. at means more business for downtown restaurants, coffee shops etc. Furthermore, it is likely to give RTD a shot in the arm for commuting federal employees. Plus, the federal mandate may well be a catalyst for nongovernment employers to take a similar step in being less kind to the “hybrid system” and bring folks back full-time to corporate or company o ces. We will see.

The clash of di erent values was bound to happen

With the Trump Administration in full force on activating the promised fullblown deportation of illegal immigrants, the scene is set for a predicable clash of separate value systems.

Speci cally, I am talking about the marching orders of the new U.S. Department of Justice focusing on sanctuary cities with the pronounced vow by Denver Mayor Mike Johnston to resist attempts by ICE agents to enter churches, schools and other so-called “sacred spaces” to arrest supposed illegal migrants. It’s bound to happen.

Trump and his “Border Czar” Tom Homan, who reminds me of an unhappy bulldog, are not “warm and fuzzy” people to say the least. ey will send agents anywhere they need to go to ferret out “border lawbreakers.”

Certainly, Denver will not be the only city to be confronted as it is a nation-wide situation. It probably will get nasty and physical. ere will be numerous legal actions to and fro with perhaps nal decisions required of the U.S. Supreme Court.

I don’t like it seeing the “federals and locals” in confrontational situations. But like I said, it’s bound to happen as a part of the whole immigration deportation. Deporting the criminals/lawbreakers make sense and is justi ed. However, deporting families who have lived in the U.S. for many years, pay taxes, ll needed jobs and the like are a di erent issue to sort out.

Rather than deporting non-criminal immigrants, wouldn’t it be better all things considered to craft a plan whereby they could become legal U.S. citizens? Not only would it avoid much personal heartache for families, but would preserve the jobs they ll and avoid huge costs to the American taxpayers to deport them.

Biden had it right about Trump and his oligarch friends

Money and in uence are the magic elixir to exert power and control. e best “exhibit” of this was the photo of the $1 trillion tech magnates showing their prominence at President Trump’s swearing-in ceremony.

Such names as Telsa and X CEO Elon Musk, Amazon founder Ben Bezos, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Meta CEO Mark

Zuckerberg were among the “elite” which again proves that “money talks.” ese heavy in uencers have all warmed up to Mr. Trump either during the presidential campaign or right before the Nov. 5 election. For example, we recall Elon Musk chipping in $250 million for Trump’s campaign.

Each personality stands to gain from a warm and cozy relationship with the president. eir companies are eager to win grants, loans or handouts to enrich their tech companies. Such relationships can become dangerous creating oligarchs.

Pulitzer Prize winner David Ho man, author of “ e Oligarchs: Wealth and Power in the New Russia” who is an expert on oligarchs said “oligarchy means “rule of the few.” We are closer to one today than we have been in more than a century.”

e Denver Gazette article went on to state “ e concentration of powerful titans we saw Monday (Inauguration ceremony), and the unfettered access Trump is giving them to the levers of power, especially Musk, may be unprecedented.” With so much change whirling in the wind at the same time and power brokers leaning in, we are in uncharted waters as this four-year journey begins.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

More than the Market needs help I was happy to see that assistance is going to be given to open a restaurant in the historic Rodeo Market building on 73rd Avenue at Osceola.

My question is why the rest of the block to the west is seemingly being ignored?

Helping a new restaurant get started is terri c. But there are various small businesses already there, paying taxes, bringing people and events to the area, and their needs for some similar assistance doesn’t seem to register with the city.

Miners Alley ﬁnds grace in the morning after

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PRESERVING THE MAGIC

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Tabletop Tap’s decor features nods to the past, like this classic Pizza Hut light ﬁxture. COURTESY OF THE TABLETOP TAP

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

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

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

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

ARCADES

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Parents with more social capital or exible resources are better positioned to research options, meet application deadlines and provide transportation, giving their children a signi cant advantage.” is concept, which Welner called “parental e cacy,” can lead to a system in which the “rich get richer” and the “poor get poorer.”

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

School choice racial diversity across Denverarea districts

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

In contrast, Je erson and Douglas County public schools are far less diverse. In Je erson County, students of color make up just 40% of the population, while in Douglas County, the gure drops to 25%.

ese disparities grow even larger in private schools, where white students account for more than 75% of enrollment in both districts, leaving Hispanic, Black and Asian students signi cantly underrepresented.

Charter schools, intended to be a more accessible alternative to private schools, show mixed results. In Je erson County, some charter schools re ect the diversity of public schools, but in Douglas County, many charter schools have predominantly white student populations, resembling private schools more than the communities they serve.

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

According to statewide data, charter schools serve a higher percentage of students of color and English language

Public

learners than traditional public schools, Schaller said.

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

Barriers to access

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

“Sometimes it’s sneaky; sometimes it’s just careless,” he says of these barriers.

“But it does play out in ways that disadvantage some students and advantage others in a way that’s entirely predictable

in terms of who’s advantaged and who’s not.

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

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

the perception that charter schools lack diversity or focus only on select popula-

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

Seeking solutions

Welner suggests that addressing inequities in school choice requires thoughtful system design with equity at its core. Federal magnet school programs, he says, are a successful example, promoting socioeconomic and racial diversity through transportation assistance and weighted lotteries.

Charter networks like DSST Public Schools (formerly known as Denver Schools of Science and Technology) are often highlighted for their success in improving academic performance and graduation rates.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Weld County Commissioners seek to crack cage-free egg law

BEST OF THE BEST VOTING STARTS MARCH 1!

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Weld County Commissioners are throwing their weight behind e orts to repeal Colorado’s cage-free chicken rules for egg producers in an e ort to help lower the cost of eggs.

“We support our ag community,” said Commissioner Chair Perry Buck. “ e constraints of the bill approved in 2020 have not only had a negative impact on producers but also Colorado families. It’s something that we as a state can x and should x.”

Weld County Commissioner Scott James said he plans to testify in the state legislature to repeal the 2020 law that requires egg producers to use cage-free systems. Weld County Commissioner are unanimously supporting House Bill 25-1074, which also be reviewed by the Agriculture, Water, and Natural Resources Committee.

House Bill 25-1074 reads, “Colorado’s cage-free egg law is driving up prices at a time when families can least a ord it; with in ation pushing grocery bills to record high amounts, forcing producers to shift to expensive cage-free systems only adds to the nancial strain on consumers.”

According to the Department of Agriculture, Weld County is the largest producer of poultry and eggs in the state. It is home to 43 egg-poultry facilities, three of which are extensive commercial facilities that provide eggs across the country.

e Colorado Egg Producers Association estimates that the cost of producing cagefree eggs is roughly 16%-18% higher than the cost of producing eggs in a caged environment due in part to the labor involved, the cost of reconstructing hen houses, and the potential spread of illnesses in a larger environment.

Cage free or bird ﬂu?

e Bureau of Labor Statistics shows egg prices increased 39.6% between September 2023 and 2024, which was the largest increase of any food tracked.

Since January 2022, the average national cost of a dozen eggs rose 75% from $1.92 to $3.37 in October 2024, peaking at $4.82 in January 2023. As of December 2024, a dozen large white eggs at a grocery store costs $5.49.

Olga Robak, director of communications for the Colorado Department of Agriculture said Colorado’s cage free law was not the most signi cant factor, saying the H5N1 Avian u was a bigger factor.

“We know that the Highly Pathogenic Avian In uenza outbreak has impacted egg pricing and availability since it rst began in 2022,” Robak wrote in an email. “Prices hit an all time high between November 2022 and February 2023, in January 2023, a dozen eggs cost $4.83. In November 2024, the average price was $3.65. Additionally, other states that have cage-free laws, notably California, were hit with a wave of HPAI detections in the past two weeks. “

According to United States Department of Agriculture data, Weld has been especially hard-hit by the bird u outbreak. e USDA began tracking bird u outbreaks among poultry operations in Jan. 2022, showing 145 million birds infected with the disease nationally across 1,464 outbreaks since 2022.

Colorado had 42 H5N1 bird u outbreaks reported between April 2022 and Dec. 2024 a ecting 9.7 million birds across 17 counties: Arapahoe, Bent, Boulder, Delta, Je erson, La Plata, Larimer, Mesa, Moffat, Montrose, Morgan, Pitkin, Prowers, Pueblo, Routt, Weld and Yuma.

Weld County accounted for a third of all H5N1 bird u outbreaks in Colorado, with 14 of the state’s 42 reported outbreaks. Weld County also accounted for 98.5% of all Colorado infected birds reported in that time period, 9.6 million. Most of were reported in commercial egg facilities.

Larimer and La Plata counties each reported four outbreaks, infecting 102 birds in Larimer County and 120 in La Plata. Delta County had a single outbreak with 66,500 infected birds.

Among Metro Denver Counties, Arapahoe County reported two outbreaks a ecting 30 birds, Boulder County reported one outbreak a ecting 600 birds and Je erson County reported two outbreaks a ecting 60 birds.

By comparison, Minnesota had the greatest number of outbreaks during that time period, with 184 instances of the virus a ecting 9 million birds. Iowa had the greatest number of birds that tested positive, with 29.9 million birds infected across 63 outbreaks.

Minnesota requires cage-free eggs. Iowa does not.

West Virginia, Rhode Island, Louisiana and Hawaii all had the least number of outbreaks, two. e number of infected birds from those states totaled 508, all of them from non-egg producing broods. Puerto Rico reported a single outbreak during that same time, infecting 380 nonegg producing birds.

Weld County Commissioners are backing the repeal of a Colorado law that requires egg producers to use cage-free systems. BELEN WARD
