Rep. Froelich holds legislative wrap-up town hall

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

HD3 State House Rep. Meg Froelich, who has served in that role since January 2019, held an online town hall meeting on May 24 to provide a summary of the 2023 legislative session for her constituents in Cherry Hills Village (CHV), Englewood, Sheridan, and Denver.

As chair of the Transportation, Housing and Local Government Committee, she was heavily involved in the activity around SB23-213 Land Use, the governor’s land use legislation, which was lost in the final days of the session when the state Senate chose not to take the bill up after it was amended in Froelich’s committee.

Froelich said there was opposition to the bill as it was originally drafted from elected city leaders in all the cities in her district, noting that she received “hundreds of (strongly worded) voicemails” from CHV residents. She “sought to assure them” that, by the time the bill got to her committee, not only had language about single-family zoning been removed, the language applicable to residential housing around light rail stations had already been changed from the area within one-half mile of these stations to one-quarter mile, which “fully excluded CHV, so the vociferous objections to development around (light rail stations) that continued to come in from CHV residents was a little bit chal-

- Rep. Meg Froelich

lenging.”

She continued, “I definitely think we need to develop around our transit hubs. As a community that has two light rail stations at Arapahoe and Orchard (in Greenwood Village) that remain undeveloped…it’s frustrating

for a state (in which) housing and housing affordability for a variety of incomes (including) middle income folks and middle housing (e.g., townhomes) …was the number one thing I heard when I knocked on doors…across the state in the last election.” She noted that she knocked on doors in multiple house districts in addition to her own to help her colleagues running from other areas, adding, “SB23-213 was an attempt to address the housing crisis and to focus development around transit hubs, which could have been a tremendous boon to Englewood and the redevelopment of the Civic Center.”

She noted, “I definitely think that the process by which the governor developed the bill and handed it to us was less than ideal, and that’s an understatement, but I think that the goals of addressing dynamic change, reducing vehicle miles traveled, and increasing housing stock were valuable goals that I also share.” She also talked about accessory dwelling units (ADUs), which,

Froelich agreed that the process by which the bill was originally developed was “highly dissatisfactory,” and as a former municipal elected official (she served on Greenwood Village City Council from 2003-2008), she “understood the concerns about the interplay between the state and local control.”

- Rep. Meg Froelich

Froelich pointed out, research has shown can alleviate pressure on the housing market, adding that many CHV properties currently contain ADUs which are often undistinguishable from the main house. Still, allowing ADUs as a use by right, “was not something that CHV residents expressed any interest or support for,” she “duly noted.” In response to a question from a listener, Froelich agreed that the failed legislation provided that, “the size, design, and setbacks for ADUs were explicitly left to local governments.”

In the end, Froelich agreed that the process by which the bill was originally developed was “highly dissatisfactory,” and as a former municipal elected official (she served on Greenwood Village City Council from 2003-2008), she “understood the concerns about the interplay between the state and local control.”

On the issue of property taxes, she pointed to SB23-304 Property Tax Valuation, signed by the governor on May 24, 2023, that requires county assessors to follow certain procedures and provide disclosures to property owners about how the market value of their property was determined.

She also pointed to the legislature’s plan to lower property taxes for all Coloradans, to mitigate the sharp increases in property values that occurred during the past few years, noting that it will require voter approval and will appear on the ballot this November as Proposition HH.

The other related measure the legislature passed was to cause TABOR refunds that will be paid to Coloradans in the com-

ing cycle to be the same amount for everyone. Under the rules that had been in place, higher income earners would have received higher refunds than lower earners.

Froelich noted other actions taken by the legislature to make housing more available and affordable, including limiting the amounts landlords can require for deposits to two months’ rent. Actions were also taken to make sure money appropriated as a result of Proposition 123, the affordable housing initiative passed by voters in 2022, is being “appropriately spread around the state,” and that “middle housing is available for local workers like teachers and first responders and isn’t being snapped up by corporations.”

Regarding the five bills passed this year to address gun violence, Froelich noted she formed the Gun Violence Prevention Caucus last summer with Senators Rhonda Fields and Tom Sullivan, both of whom have lost a child to gun violence. When a listener asked why Gov. Polis did not support an assault weapons ban, Froelich explained that there wasn’t adequate support for the bill in the legislature and, “We have no way to enforce this type of law,” because the only enforcement tool is the ATF (federal agency that regulates alcohol, tobacco and firearms) and the ATF doesn’t enforce state laws, adding that the ghost gun ban can be enforced because the ATF is charged with serializing weapons and ghost guns are those that have not been serialized.

On the relationship between mill levies and TABOR, Froelich pointed out that it requires the state to return any surplus to taxpayers. As a result, to get additional money, school districts then go to their residents and ask them to approve bond issues and mill levy overrides to fund certain expenditures. Voters in Cherry Creek, Littleton, Englewood, and Sheridan School Districts have historically voted for these bonds, often for new construction, which has the effect of raising property taxes because the legislature cannot raise taxes or retain surpluses.

Froelich pointed out that she was the only House Democrat to vote against SB23-285 that renamed the Colorado Oil & Gas Commission, now known as the Energy & Carbon Management Commission, “to reflect the expanded regulatory authority over deep geothermal and underground natural gas storage.” GV Rep. Ruby Dickson was a prime sponsor of that bill. Froelich pointed out that Gov. Polis “is excited about hydrogen in the energy space but we need to be careful we are using fossil fuels to create it.”

She also noted that there is a task force currently meeting on HOAs and special districts “that will hopefully result in bipartisan legislation next year.”

Meg Froelich (D) has represented HD3 in the State House for over four years.

“I definitely think that the process by which the governor developed the bill and handed it to us was less than ideal, and that’s an understatement, but I think that the goals of addressing dynamic change, reducing vehicle miles traveled, and increasing housing stock were valuable goals that I also share.”

Johnston and Brough hold final debate before June 6 mayoral election

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

On May 23, Denver mayoral candidates Mike Johnston and Kelly Brough held their final TV debate. It was a one-hour event on Denver7 sponsored by Colorado Public Radio, the Denver Post and Denverite. Anne Trujillo served as moderator Brough said it is important that people in Denver, where the median income is $94,000, should be able to “buy a home, afford child care, feel safe in their neighborhood, and have their kids get the education they deserve in Denver Public Schools.”

Asked what they would do to tackle the backlog of applications for building permits in Denver and improve the operation of that department, Brough said she would bring in a contractor to clear the backlog and restructure the departments of forestry, planning, building code, fire, and transportation, so that they would all report to one person, focused on customer service.

Johnston said, “The people who are serving this city— teachers, nurses, firefighters, servers—80% of those folks can’t afford to live in this city. We have to solve that problem. A permitting process that is so slow that it drives up the cost of housing is one of the reasons I helped build a coalition of organizations around the state to take on the ballot measure for affordable housing, Proposition 123 that passed last year.” He would “push affordable (housing) projects to the front of the line.”

To the question of how to get affordable housing built in every city council district of Denver, despite neighborhood pushback, Johnston said, “I’ve committed to having 25,000 permanently affordable units built over the next eight years,” where residents would pay rent not to exceed 30% of their income. He would prioritize areas near buses and light rail, so that, “we could have more dense housing where everyone doesn’t have to have a car.”

Brough said, “We have to have a range of housing throughout our city.” She would work with the city council on land use to “add density where we’ve already made investments in transit and bus routes,” not just for affordability, but also for the environment, including air quality and water usage.

When it was pointed out that Denver spent $13.65 million on all aspects of homelessness between January 2019 and June 2022, Brough said she would address the problem by getting people to safe indoor and outdoor sites to stop repeated sweeps of the homeless. She would turn those who would not or could not comply over to

Denver Cares, which deals with incapacitated individuals, and would arrest people only as an absolute last resort.

Asked how he would decide who gets the tiny homes he plans to make available for the

unhoused, Johnston said, “Arresting people who are homeless is not the answer…the answer is getting people access to housing with the supportive services that we know people need.”

Both candidates would like

to see the federal government act so that migrants arriving in Denver can be allowed to work while their permanent status is being determined.

Pointing to the average cost for child care as being $1,575/ month in Denver, and the shortage of available child care providers, Brough pointed to the importance of paying child care workers a living wage to improve and expand available resources.

Johnston said that universal pre-school, that he worked on, is helpful, but, “We need more child care providers,” and suggested using vacant office space to retrofit as child care facilities, along with training more child care providers, who might also eventually become teachers.

On the issue of revitalizing Denver’s business districts, Johnston would add 200 first responders to increase safety,

get the unhoused into housing, and encouraging Denver residents to return to downtown offices by making commuting on public transit free of charge for workers, seniors, and college students.

Brough pointed to her commitment to end unsanctioned camping in Denver during her first year in office to make downtown safer. She would also focus on adding downtown residences, possibly by transitioning vacant office buildings into residential units. She would also complete the revitalization of the 16th Street mall.

The candidates differed on whether the city should subsidize a new stadium for the Denver Broncos. Johnston opposes it while Brough would support it if Denver voters agreed.

Both candidates support the state police accountability law, more pickleball courts, and ranked choice voting.

Ballots for Denver mayor are in voters’ hands and must be returned by 7:00 p.m. on June 6. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

Kelly Brough is former head of the Denver Metro Chamber and was chief of staff to Mayor John Hickenlooper.

Mike Johnston is a former state senator, teacher, principal, and non-profit executive.

Graduation time is when our educational institutions bid farewell to the finished products of secondary education with high school seniors.

The real challenges of life are beyond high school graduation. The high school diploma has no instructions on where to go or what to do next. Likewise, University degrees only acknowledge what skills or educational degrees are received.

A common perception among many university-bound students is that a degree becomes instant wealth and success; maybe for a few brilliant

scholars, but for a vast majority of college graduates, the challenges are just beginning.

Mom and dad are helpful in many cases, but each graduate is in charge of his or hers career path. Military service beckons the brave and the bold.

Teaching, medicine, business, technology, and communication opportunities abound. The job market is good for those who want to work hard, show up at the job early, and stay late. Usually, the boss, owners, and managers show up early, and they take note of who arrives early and are still at the office when others have departed at 5 p.m.

Whatever opportunities arise, listen well, and follow the path of life that you enjoy most. Work becomes a pleasure when you love what you do every day

Be aware of the pitfall and minefields of living… excessive alcohol, drug culture, credit card abuse, and many slippery slopes.

Cherish your friendships from high school, college, the military, sports and clubs. Join your alumni associations and attend all your past school reunions. It is hard to believe, but you may never see some of your best friends again after leaving school.

Another secret of successful people is service to others

instead of self. Be a volunteer and join a nearby service club to form new and lifelong friends.

Lastly, seek and find the right partner of your dreams, don’t plan on changing a person. Enjoy them the way they are now. Raise a family, register to vote, and set a good example for your children and family.

Graduation is not the end but just the beginning, have a great life. It is the journey that counts in life, not the final destination.

Below are some photos of the graduation party that Gerri and I attended for Edie Marks’ grandson, CCHS grad Bronson Connors.

Last meeting of Douglas County Republican Women before summer break

Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly makes comprehensive presentation to DCRW

It is said that the last election for sheriff of Douglas County was a roug h one. The final victor – Darren Weekly! Weekly became the 34th sheriff of Douglas County. He began his career with the Douglas County Sheriff’s office in 1993 at the age of 21.

When he was just 16, he had joined the Explorer Program. Over his 29-year career, he has served in various critical assignments across the entire agency – Patrol Division Commander, Douglas County Regional SWAT Commander, and the Investigations Division Commander. He has also served as a coordinator for the 18th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team. Weekly, a resident of Parker, is a graduate of the North-

western University School of Police Staff and Command.

He introduced his entire staff on screen and it includes familiar faces with outstanding credentials. Among them is Undersheriff Dave Walcher who was former Arapahoe County Sheriff. 28-year news veteran Deborah Takahara (reporter and anchor with Fox 31 and Channel 2) has been given a generous creative license as the Public information Officer.

Darren Weekly is the third sheriff in Douglas County to receive the prestigious “Triple Crown” distinction. “Sheriffs are elected by the people,” he said. “We have no bosses except for the

citizens giving us more latitude for safety and security.”

Sheriff Weekly felt a need to change the culture of the office.

Civilians as well as staff re-wrote the vision, mission and vaues. His excellent and thorough presentation included some interesting statistics. There are 844 square miles to patrol with 1,131 miles of roadway. 70 % of the population is in unincorporated Douglas County. “The sheriff’s office does more with less,” he said. He also explained the many programs, crime-solving techniques, its own crime lab, special teams – bomb squad, Hazmat, SWAT, K-9, mounted patrol and more including the high danger vehicle that

looks like something from a movie set. Everything is computer driven for efficiency. He also mentioned opportunities for community volunteers by contacting the office in Castle Rock or the website.

After the presentation, one impressed attendee exclaimed that she had no idea the amount of diverse responsibilities that were required of the sheriff’s office.

CCSD parents encouraged by district’s response to acts of antisemitism

BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER

We previously reported about acts of antisemitism in Cherry Creek Schools, particularly Campus Middle School, that were the subject of public statements by students and parents, as well as the school board and district administration, at the May 8 regular monthly meeting of the Cherry Creek School District Board of Education.

In a follow-up meeting with CCSD Superintendent Chris Smith and Deputy Superintendent Jennifer Perry, CCSD parents Rikki Orr and Maya Shalev talked about the possibility of creating a task force that could include parents, teachers, administrators, and community members to look at what else might be needed in the schools to combat

prejudice and intolerance.

The parents and school administrators also discussed HB20-1336, the state law that requires students in Colorado public schools to complete a course that includes Holocaust and genocide studies before they graduate, beginning with the upcoming school year. CCSD is doing everything necessary to ensure that its educators are well prepared to effectively deliver that curriculum at the appropriate level during the upcoming school year.

The parents left the meeting feeling assured that they had been heard and that CCSD is seriously focused on taking the necessary steps to ensure a safe and secure environment for all its students, regardless of their racial or ethnic background.

Koelbel & Company breaks ground on Catalyst at the University of Nebraska Medical Center

$65 Million Innovation Hub to be Completed in Late 2024

bers, pursuant to Colorado Revised Statute 32-1905(2).

To qualify as a member of the Board of Directors, a person must be registered to vote in Colorado and either

(a) a resident of the SSPRD District; or (b) a person who, or whose spouse or civil union partner, owns taxable real or personal property situated within the boundaries of the District. Learn more and view the online application at bitily/ 3wcpkg.

Koelbel and Company in partnership with the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and Green Slate Development announced today it has broken ground on the Innovation hub at Catalyst-- a $65 million project at the historic Omaha Mill Site. The Innovation Hub at Catalyst is part of UNMC’s larger Saddle Creek redevelopment project in Midtown Omaha and will serve to accelerate innovation in the evolving healthcare industry.

On this new campus, researchers will spawn companies that turn ideas into products to help improve health and healthcare, ultimately making the world a better place. As an industry integrator, Catalyst is home to world-class trailblazers from private enterprises, government, academia, and the nonprofit sector

“The Catalyst facility will emit a vibe of energy, collaboration and innovation,” said Carl Koelbel, Chief Operating Officer of Koelbel and Company. “This project is a great signal that UNMC, Omaha and Nebraska is open for business, advancement, innovation and collaboration. And, in 18 months Catalyst will be open for tenancy; so, if you know of any people in healthcare looking for a home, send them our way.”

The Catalyst building will bring UNMC’s UNeMed and UNeTech branches together to facilitate the growth of research and innovation and allow entrepreneurs, investors and innovators to collaborate in the renovated

1906 Omaha Steel Castings industrial tract. Remaining space will be unfinished and leased to a wide spectrum of biotech and technology startups. Work has begun on the site and completion of the Catalyst facility is expected in late 2024.

Omaha Mayor Stothert said the groundbreaking was a celebration of growth and opportunity. “Once a place of industry and history, and now a future of medical research and innovation, Catalyst is part of our vision to make

in business, and we believe Omaha is the ideal market for the initial expansion of this concept and our development operations.”

Omaha’s urban core the economic engine of the entire region. The momentum of our urban core is undeniable. Catalyst will offer another compelling reason to attract the best and brightest to our state for research, innovation and investment.”

The Innovation Hub at Catalyst will create a collaborative environment for UNeMed and UNeTech, facilitate innovation and growth among startups and make them successful within the medically-centered incubator space while creating a cost effectiveness via shared common elements and amenities.

“Koelbel is thrilled to bring its Catalyst concept to Omaha, which has proven to be tremendously successful in Denver, and honored to be doing so in partnership with GreenSlate, The Lund Company, and UNMC, “ said Buz Koelbel, president of Koelbel and Company. “This is one the first developments outside of Colorado for Koelbel after nearly 70 years

UNMC wanted to replicate the “industry integrator” concept in Omaha at the Saddle Creek Redevelopment Site --bringing together relevant stakeholders from across the health, wellness and health care industriesto forge an adaptive reuse redevelopment from two former Omaha Steel Works structures, into a mixed-used innovation technology campus. The two structures played historically significant roles in World War II, as well as in Omaha’s industrial growth. UNMC will play an integral role in the development as both a collaborator and tenant in the future building. The mix of amenities to serve the broader UNMC campus as well as the inclusion of other healthcare focused companies will further connect UNMC to the broader private sector healthcare industry in Omaha and beyond.

“Redevelopment of these structures and the Saddle Creek site will be one of the most unique and significant infill projects in the history of Omaha,” said Jay Lund, Principal of GreenSlate Development. “This is a natural continuation of the campus and UNMC’s continued reinvestment in midtown Omaha.”

The $65 million, 170,000-square-foot multiuse project, just one part of the innovation hub vconcept, will include a food hall and market, event center and collaborative office space that draws on Koelbel and Company’s experience in designing healthcare spaces.

Rockies’ call to action: ‘Hey, can you pitch?’

“It was so quick. Boom—I got two outs! I thought I was really good.

“Then Furcal came up.”

Those quotes are from former Rockie Brent Mayne, a Major League catcher for 15 seasons, in my book, 16 Pitches

He was recalling the only time in his life when he faced hitters from the pitcher’s mound.

It was August 22, 2000; top of the 12th inning; score tied since the seventh: Rockies 6, Atlanta Braves 6.

That night, Mayne became the first position player to be the winning pitcher in a Major league game in 32 years—since slugger Rocky Colavito at the end of his illustrious career in 1968, when he played briefly for his hometown team, the Yankees.

And in the process, Mayne gained an appreciation for those who face major league hitters for a living—and learned firsthand just how hard it is to take their place.

“I remember sitting on the bench, after that inning, and immediately I could feel it. Like my hips, my arm, different parts of my body, immediately got sore. It was amazing. I was getting more sore and more sore . . . I could feel it—after 16 pitches.

“ . . . . From that point on, I really, really respected pitchers for being able to go two, three innings—much less eight, nine innings. To this day, it astounds me that guys can do that every five days.”

So far this season, infielder Alan Trejo has been there twice for the Rockies; utilityman Harold Castro once.

But they were chucking away the eighth inning of games already hopelessly lopsided—a far cry from trying to maintain a tie score. (Together, they allowed five runs.)

The way this season is going for the Rockies, there’s a good chance Trejo, Castro or some of their teammates will get the opportunity to throw additional innings before the last game ends on October 1. (Randall Grichuk and Brian Serven each pitched a scoreless frame last season.)

Through the first 50 games, cursed Colorado already had 25 guys toe the pitching rubber—10 starters. Rotation anchor German Marquez is lost for the season; Antonio Senzatela,

the rotation’s third starter when healthy, who was rehabbing a knee when the 2023 season started, is again unavailable (elbow); and promising Ryan Feltner suffered a fractured skull when struck by a line drive.

That scary scene was reminiscent of when Mayne faced Rafael Furcal: “I remember letting go of the ball, and it felt like it was going to castrate me . . . I remember it going right between my legs . . .”

Next man up was reigning National League Most Valuable Player Chipper Jones.

“I’m thinking, ‘Just pull it. I don’t care if it’s a hit. I just don’t want to die.”

In addition to Marquez, Senzatela and Feltner this season, Noah Davis, recalled when Jose Urena washed out, made only three starts before he, too, went on the Injured List (elbow).

In the bullpen, Lucas Gilbreath, who was to be the lead lefthander in relief, underwent Tommy John surgery in spring training . . . last year’s strong arm out of the ‘pen, Tyler Kinley, is continuing to recover from his Tommy John operation . . . and Dinelson Lamet, counted on to be one of this year’s stalwarts in relief but struggling when he went on the IL (back), is now being considered as a possible starter when he returns.

Among reinforcements from Triple-A, Nick Mears appeared in four games then went down (oblique).

Daniel Bard suffered a relapse of the yips.

In sum, with more than a hundred games yet to be played, this staff appears well-positioned to top the franchise record for pitchers used in a season (31 in 2019, when the Rockies won 71; infielder Mark Reynolds pitched one inning, allowing two runs.)

When then-manager Buddy Bell called to Mayne and said, ‘Hey, can you pitch?’, his only alternatives to a position player were the next day’s scheduled starter and two pitchers who had thrown more than a hundred pitches each in the games two and three days prior

It’s doubtful Bud Black will be that desperate this year, especially with the “ghost runner” at second to shorten extra-inning games.

But with the dire condition of Colorado’s pitching staff, more lopsided affairs are likely, which makes using more position players to mop up a real possibility

graduate, beginning with the upcoming school year CCSD is doing everything necessary to ensure that its educators are well prepared to effectively deliver that curriculum at the appropriate level during the upcoming school year.

The parents left the meeting feeling assured that they had been heard and that CCSD is seriously focused on taking the necessary steps to ensure a safe and secure environment for all its students, regardless of their racial or ethnic background. fmiklin.villager@gmail. com

Tesoro Cultural Center Presents 22nd Annual Indian Market & Powwow, June 3 & 4

Hosted on the grounds of The Fort restaurant at 19192 Hwy. 8, in Morrison, Colo., Saturday, June 3, and Sunday, June 4, Tesoro Cultural Center’s annual Indian Market & Powwow is a yearly tribute to the American Indian nations that shaped the cultural community of Bent’s Old Fort, an important international trading post operating along the famous Santa Fe Trail from 1833 until 1849.

In celebration of early Southwestern history, Tesoro hosts nationally acclaimed and award-winning American Indian artists who sell and demonstrate authentic artwork in a juried show. The weekend will bring together more than 40 Indian nations to educate and share with the public their culture via art, dance performances and drum groups, demonstrations, celebrations and more. A contest powwow will be directed by Masters of Ceremonies, Daryl “Max” Bear (Cheyenne, Kiowa) and Steve La Pointe (Lakota).

2023 marks the return of the contest powwow portion of this annual event, following a pandemic-related pause.

Featuring traditional, fancy, grass and chicken categories in various age groups for men and women, the top three dancers in each category will earn monetary prizes, awarded by the Masters of Ceremonies. The Buddy Bond Color Guards (Southern Cheyenne) will perform, and the Denver Singers will serve as the Northern Drum Host; Bad Company, from Oklahoma, will serve as the Southern Drum Host; and special guest drum group, The Porcupine Singers, from South Dakota, will also attend. Alongside these cultural heritage celebrations, Tesoro’s Indian Market honors an American Indian veteran each year with an intimate, engaging ceremony to thank them for their service. This year’s honoree is Jesse Hamilton of the 2nd Infantry Division of the 199th Infantry Brigade and 2nd Armored Cavalry, who served from 1990-1994.

“We couldn’t be more excited to present this event in its 22nd year, and especially for the return of the contest powwow,” said Holly Arnold Kinney, executive director of Tesoro Cultural Center. “We

can’t wait to welcome back attendees and performers for another great weekend.”

The festivities will kick off with a Tesoro Member-exclusive Meet the Artists party on Friday, June 2, on The Fort’s patio. On Saturday and Sunday, Tesoro’s educational partner, Nature’s Educators, will offer live hawk, eagle and raptor demonstrations to educate on the importance of

these creatures in American Indian culture.

The Indian Market on June 3 and 4 is an outside event and open to the public and parking is free. Regular daily admission is $15 for adults, $10 for children 7-12 and free for children 6 and under. New this year, additional packages also include tickets to one day of the Indian Market & Powwow as well as the VIP

Patron Party, for $65; and a weekend package with tickets to both days of the Indian Market & Powwow, tickets to the VIP Patron Party and Tesoro Cultural Center membership at the Trapper Level, for $105. Premium Powwow Seating is also available for $25 per day; all tickets are available at https://www. tesoroculturalcenter.org/ indian-market.

Help Shape the Future of Broadway!

Neighbors, Broadway

between I-25 and Highlands Ranch Parkway is a vibrant corridor where people live, work, learn, and play. This 11mile stretch of Broadway provides local and regional connections through the City and County of Denver, Arapahoe County, Douglas County, the cities of Englewood, Littleton, and Centennial. The City of Littleton is partnering with these agencies to study the transportation and land use conditions along this section of Broadway. The study will

establish a cohesive vision for the corridor’s future and identify improvements that will celebrate and connect the unique identities of the surrounding communities, foster economic vibrancy, provide safe and comfortable spaces, and support regional mobility options for all.

What’s next for the Broadway Corridor Study?

The City of Littleton hosted a self-guided online public meeting for the Broadway

Corridor Study throughout March that had nearly 800 visitors. The meeting introduced the study and collected feedback on the draft vision and goals of Broadway, user experience, and potential improvements for the future of Broadway. The feedback was analyzed and incorporated into the final vision and goals and potential improvements for the corridor that will be presented in the next self-guided online meeting and two in-person open houses this June.

Learn more and provide your feedback!

There are three upcoming opportunities listed below for you to participate in the Broadway Corridor Study. Your input will help shape the future of Broadway.

Against Miami, Nuggets playing ‘whack a mole’

If one searches “whack a mole” using Google, the first responses are literal explanations of the arcade game.

But then comes application of the concept to everyday living (including sporting pursuits).

In short, the term signifies usually unsuccessful attempts to stop unwanted action from recurring in an unpredictable way.

This describes what the Nuggets are facing in the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat.

Whack a mole.

After Game One was won handily by Denver, in Denver, there was widespread talk that this would be a short series, that the eighth and final qualifier from the Eastern Division was fortunate to have made it so far.

Miami was a team that got hot at just the right time, it was said, and upset better teams, ending with the vaunted Boston Celtics—in Boston, no less, in Game Seven!

But Game Two against Denver Sunday night illustrated how Miami made it through the playin gauntlet all the way to the NBA Finals, and suggested the real challenge this series presents.

Whack a mole.

In Miami’s 111-108 unexpected victory, the Heat used 10 players. Three of them made major contributions after being non-factors three days earlier:

Veteran Kevin Love started and scored six points with 10 rebounds, in 22 minutes. He didn’t play at all in Game One.

Max Strus finished with 14 points, all of them in the first half, including four three-pointers in the first quarter. He was scoreless in the series opener and went 0-for-9 from long range.

Duncan Robinson turned the game around almost single-handedly Sunday night with 10 quick points in two minutes and four seconds at the start of the fourth quarter. He made only one of six shots in the first game, good for three points.

Whack a mole.

At the same time, two others who previously had showed they were threats to be accounted-for did little or nothing:

Haywood Highsmith played only six scoreless minutes in Miami’s victory—after putting up 18 off the bench when Denver won 104-93.

Caleb Martin, who torched the Celtics for 26 in the final game of that surprising series and averaged 19.3 points and hit 60.2 percent of 88 shots in the seven games, scored three for the second game in a row against the Nuggets and has attempted only 10 shots in two games. (Is the clock ticking on his next explosion?)

Whack a mole.

Through the first two games, Miami used 12 players, and 10 of them scored—seven in double figures at least once.

Denver, meanwhile, played only eight—the same eight. And five scored more than nine.

Miami’s bench accounted for 153 minutes in the first two games, to 115 for Denver, and outscored the Nuggets’ reserves 58-40

Whack a mole.

Against Phoenix and the Lakers, the order of business was pretty obvi-

ous: shut down the Suns’ Kevin Durant and Devin Booker and limit Lebron and A.D. in L.A. Make the moles win the games.

Miami’s stud equivalent, Jimmy Butler, is explosive and understandably draws the most attention. Denver held him to 34 points, combined, in the first two games.

But when different role players claim their fifteen minutes of fame, as Andy Warhol liked to call moments of distinction, it raises the question for coach Michael Malone to consider: Would it be better to let Butler get his while neutralizing the snipers?

Whack a mole.

We now know there will be at least one more game in Denver.

What we don’t know is which Heat players will surprise us next.

Will those who disappeared earlier suddenly re-emerge?

Will someone who hasn’t yet caught fire suddenly step up?

Whack a mole.
