Centennial council approves criteria for evaluating housing strategies New criteria will help working group move forward BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
To help make sure Centennial City Council gets all the information it needs from the housing study,
during its July 11 meeting, seven criteria points were approved. “Tonight, we’re really talking about the review criteria, which is kind of like one step back,” said Elizabeth Garvin, an attorney and planner at Clarion Associates, one of the consultants for the housing study. “But when we bring you a report at the end of this process that reflects everything that the working group did, we want to kind of, to the extent we can, be able to give you
an apples to apples comparison of strategies.” The city’s Housing Study and Policy Development project, funded through a $200,000 planning grant from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, is currently having its working group assess nine of the 15 potential housing strategies the state identified to help improve housing affordability. These nine strategies include authorizing accessory dwelling units,

Soon after the Cherry Creek School District in Arapahoe County announced it would stop designating valedictorians in its high schools, the criticism started pouring in. “The pursuit of excellence has suffered another blow,” wrote George Brauchler, a former Arapahoe County district attorney, in a column for The Denver Post. “The crusade against meritocracy, and for mediocrity, in our schools reached a new level,” the

Seeking housing study input Centennial’s Housing Study seeks citizen feedback on a few questions here: https://bit. ly/3PuqIxL What is an inclusionary zoning ordinance? Inclusionary zoning is a program that expands the locations and availability of affordable housing by establishing a requirement that new housing developments include a percentage of affordable
housing as part of the project. Inclusionary zoning can include incentives to developers to help offset the costs of providing affordable housing. Affordable housing is defined by income restrictions that are typically established through a Housing Needs Assessment.

No rescue needed after all On July 16, as a storm front moved into the area bringing gusty winds, 911 dispatchers received reports of a party who had fallen into Chatfield Reservoir and was yelling for help. Responders, including dive teams, started to search for the party and find the last known location. A shore group and a diving group were strategically set up.
Fortunately, after searching and interviewing multiple people in the area, it was determined that the party got out of the water on their own. This is a friendly reminder for everyone who enjoys our beautiful Colorado waters: Please remember a life vest cannot save your life if it is stored away.

Dear Davis Schilken, I recently worked with an Attorney to help assist me with my Estate Planning. She suggested that I set up a trust. She constantly referred to “funding the trust,” but never explained what that means, or how to do it. Can you help? Sincerely, Frank Funding Dear Frank Funding, It’s always better to analogize funding a trust with a bank account. When we open a bank account, we typically deposit money into that account. If not, the account is virtually of no use to us. That is what we are doing with a Trust. The biggest thing to remember, is the why we’re funding. Often times Estate Planning Attorney’s recommend Trust planning for two main reasons: probate avoidance and privacy. While the concept works in theory, the only way to achieve those goals is to actually “fund” the trust. So how do we do it? The answer to that question is going to depend on what type of asset is being funded to our Trust. These assets may take many different shapes and forms. They can include property, cash accounts, stock accounts, investment accounts, businesses or business interest, vehicles, boats, houses, rental properties, etc. There are two ways to move money and property into a trust: (1) by transferring ownership of the accounts and property from you as an individual to the trust, and (2) by completing beneficiary designations which will then name the trust as the beneficiary on other types of property such as life insurance, investment, and certain types of annuities. Beware, there are some types of assets that do not work well in a Trust (tax reasons) such as IRA’s and certain types of retirement accounts, so it is important to address assets individually. The Davis Schilken, PC team is here to ensure that your assets are properly funded to your trust. We want you and your family to receive the two biggest benefits of Trust planning: privacy and probate avoidance. We want you and your family to KNOW that you are protected when that time comes. Contact our office today to schedule a no obligation meeting with one of our skilled attorneys (303)670-9855. We make estate planning simple!

28 recruits start this month BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After decades of relying on other law enforcement agencies to train recruits, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office will launch its own police academy this month, the office announced in a July 7 news release. The new academy, ACSO Training Academy, will officially started July 11 with 28 recruits who will be training for 23 weeks at the sheriff’s office headquarters in Centennial. Recruits will get firearms training at the Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Facility. Upon completing training, recruits will graduate in December 2022 and begin work as deputies in the Arapahoe County Detention Center, the office said. They will have to work in the jail for at least one year before they can transfer into patrol with field training on the road. Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown introduced the idea of creating the academy two years ago, the office said, and he put Sgt. Quinn Cunningham in charge of leading the effort.

Over the next 18 months, Cunningham worked to develop the new academy, the Colorado Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) approved the new program on June 9. “This is [the] hardest thing I’ve ever done professionally and the biggest project we’ve ever taken on as an agency,” said Cunningham, who will be the academy director. “We built our own lesson plans from the ground up. Our deputies will do more scenariobased training and more problemsolving than most agencies in this country.” The academy’s training will have an emphasis on physical fitness, discipline, de-escalation, critical thinking and interacting with people with disabilities, the office said. Under this new model, recruits will be hired, paid and trained as sheriff’s office employees. “One of the nice things about having our own academy is we can be selective in our process and ensure our deputies are trained in our culture of accreditation and excellence in community service,” Brown said. Those interested in a career as a deputy sheriff can apply online by visiting: governmentjobs.com/ careers/arapahoe. and friends and come see the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office on August 13 for a free fun filled day of activities. Parents can take a tour of the coroner’s office or a history tour of the sheriff’s office and even watch how firefighters rescue car accident victims with the jaws of life.

TRADITION FROM PAGE 1
Denver Gazette news outlet’s editorial board wrote. Cherry Creek’s decision even landed a story in national and international news outlet Newsweek, with other media coverage mentioning it too. The practice of honoring valedictorians is one the district’s high school principals had discussed “for many years,” the principals wrote in a letter to parents. “The practices of class rank and valedictorian status are outdated and inconsistent with what we know and believe of our students. We believe all students can learn at high levels, and learning is not a competition,” the principals wrote in the letter about the policy, which will begin with the class of 2026. Cherry Creek’s new policy took aim at “unnecessary pressure,” the letter said, a welcome change in the eyes of Dr. Anna Mueller, an associate professor of sociology who has studied mental health among youths in different parts of the country, including in Colorado. “How painful and stressful academic pressure for teenagers can be is very real,” Mueller told Colorado Community Media. ‘Healthier school culture’ The decision to cut valedictorian status isn’t unheard of: One of the Colorado communities that made the move years ago is Boulder Valley School District. Boulder Valley top official Rob Anderson didn’t oversee the decision
— he started as superintendent there in 2018 — but “since I’ve been here, no one’s asked me to bring it back,” Anderson said. Anderson also served as deputy superintendent of academics in Fulton County, Georgia, in the Atlanta area, where the high-achieving Northview High School decided to stop naming valedictorians and salutatorians “because of the additional pressures it puts on kids,” Anderson said. “Just anecdotally, talking with parents, talking with (the) principal, it created a healthier school culture for those kids that were among the top in the class,” said Anderson, speaking about the Northview High decision. In Anderson’s view, differences in grade point average, or GPA, at the top of a class can be insignificant. The gap can sometimes be a tenth or hundredth of a point “when you’re separating highly motivated, incredibly intelligent kids who are trying to reach those types of goals,” Anderson said. “There’s not a lot of room in between.” “Talk to (students vying for) valedictorian or salutatorian. They’re not sleeping,” said Anderson, who felt kids can be successful without the titles. Superintendent Chris Fiedler, leader of the Brighton-area 27J Schools district, has not served in any school district where valedictorians are not recognized. He wasn’t sure of whether removing valedictorian designation from high schools would affect student achievement broadly. “Do I think it drives academic performance? It absolutely does for those kids that are chasing (high rank),” Fiedler said. “I’m of the opinion that it drives competition among kids. I don’t think that’s a bad thing as long as it’s

healthy.” Fiedler previously served as superintendent of the Gilpin County School District in Black Hawk and then as superintendent of Deer Trail School District 26J in Deer Trail, according to 27J’s district website. He’s co-chair of the Denver Area School Superintendents Council. “I don’t believe always that the letter grade students earn in a class is always an accurate representation of what they learned or not,” Fiedler said. “Some of the classes I learned the most in I didn’t get an A in.” Michael Mazenko, a Cherry Creek High School teacher, a former school administrator and a past gifted education coordinator, argued in an op-ed in The Denver Post that “ranking can encourage kids to avoid hard classes out of fear of losing a decimal point.” The competition for valedictorian status and rank creates “gamesmanship” and limits students from choosing courses based on growth and interest “to instead choose what’s best to manipulate GPA,” Mazenko wrote. On the other hand, chasing a high GPA can also push students to load their schedule with lots of Advanced Placement and honors courses. Fiedler said both scenarios are realistic. “Kids who were vying to be valedictorian, salutatorian, they would steer away from non-weighted classes because it would hurt their GPA. If the school has band or yearbook, valuable classes … kids wouldn’t take those classes,” Anderson said. Anderson said pressure to reach a certain class rank encourages high-achieving students to “overload themselves.” Those kids “not only fill up their school year but fill up their summers, take classes beyond the school year, beyond the normal course load a student would take,” Anderson said. Asked whether the decision of whether to recognize a valedictorian affects middle- or lower-achieving students, Fiedler said: “My opinion is no.” “I believe that there are probably 20 to 25 kids, maybe 30, maybe 35, that go into high school their freshman year with that on their mind. And after freshman year, it quickly sorts itself” and some kids stop pursuing that rank, Fiedler said. In general, Fiedler felt that “competition is good and healthy” and that focusing on rank is a valid practice. “I would argue that in most if not all of life, we keep score. If we’re not
going to honor valedictorians anymore … are we no longer going to have state wrestling champions?” Fiedler said, for example. “Life is filled with competition,” he added.
‘Downplay the achievements’ Cherry Creek School District declined to make an official available for an interview with Colorado Community Media about the valedictorian policy, but district spokesperson Abbe Smith highlighted that Cherry Creek High School did not have a valedictorian process even before the district’s announcement, which came in the principals’ letter dated March 9. “Cherry Creek High School, the district’s flagship and arguably one of the top high schools in the nation, eliminated valedictorian and ranking of students more than 30 years ago,” Mazenko, the former school administrator, wrote in the Post. “Ranking can actually compromise and downplay the achievements of the school’s high number of extraordinary students,” he continued. Cherry Creek district will continue to acknowledge the academic achievements of students through other methods, such as honor roll, GPA cords at graduation, and department- and school-specific awards, according to the principals’ letter. ‘Cultural shift’ Mueller, the associate professor of sociology, said academic pressure can push some young people to a concerning place. “Some of my past research has really shown that academic pressure can play a role in making kids feel like life is not worth living — like life is unbearable and that suicide is their only escape,” said Mueller, who works for Indiana University. Her study, titled “Adolescents Under Pressure,” underscored the importance of addressing the social causes — for example, academic pressure — of youths’ psychological pain, according to a summary on her website. Pressure from “narrow beliefs” about what makes “good kids and good families” can constrain how kids imagine the pathway to adulthood, Mueller said. “It makes failures that much more intense because it seems like absolutely everything is on the line,” Mueller SEE TRADITION, P7

TRI-COUNTY FROM PAGE 1
The announcement, which came July 8, marks a major milestone for a county pursuing an aggressive — and unprecedented — timeline to establish health services for its roughly 650,000 residents by the beginning of next year. Penny Grande will serve as the new health department’s deputy director and will begin working full-time with Arapahoe County this month. Grande served as director of nursing for TriCounty, overseeing daily operations of the agency’s largest division, with a $16 million budget and 175 employees. Others joining the leadership team are Michele Askenazi as director of environmental health, communicable disease, emergency preparedness and response; Heather Baumgartner as director of planning and health promotion; Jill Bonczynski as director of nutrition; Melissa Spencer as director of nursing; and Breanna Paderewski as director of admin and operations.

said. “If you fail that one test or fail that one class or get a C on that one class … it’s this much bigger, existential thing of ‘I’m not going to be able to do X, Y, Z long-term goals.’” She added: “If we’re going to encour-
and will begin working for the county’s new health department in January, the county said. Arapahoe County is not alone in its scramble to set up its own health department within months. It joins Adams and Douglas counties as well after both counties decided in the fall of 2021 to pull out of Tri-County. It was a decision spurred by Douglas County leaders who had clashed with Tri-County Health officials over mask mandates during the first year of the pandemic. After vowing to form their own health department, Adams and Arapahoe county leaders followed suit, though Commissioner Nancy Sharpe said it was “not something that Arapahoe County actually wanted.” Dr. John Douglas, Tri-County’s executive director, said he was “sorry to see that it went in this direction” and said the pandemic “exacerbated political divisiveness.” “You go into health seeking the common good and that kind of divisiveness got in the way of seeking the public good,” Douglas said. The retention of current TriCounty staff became a key question as the department faces its imminent demise.
Douglas said internal polling had shown a vast majority of current TriCounty staff have interest in moving to a new county-run health department. But he also acknowledged Tri-County has seen its employees thin out over the past year following heightened stress and burnout from the pandemic. “Every place saw the great resignation going on, and we weren’t immune to that,” Douglas said. “Last year, we probably were running 30% to 40% more staff choosing to leave than previous years.” Sharpe said while it “would be unrealistic” for the county to be immune to labor shortages, she is hopeful the department’s competitive salaries and benefits would be enough to hire and retain adequate staff. Douglas said he is not currently in discussion with any of the three counties for a new role and said he is looking to a sabbatical for at least a year once Tri-County dissolves. “My firm plans are to get us through the next six months,” Douglas said. Along with leadership staff, Arapahoe County also recently named its five-person health board to guide the new department that includes county
commissioners Sharpe and Nancy Jackson as well as Shawn Davis, a Colorado-based health care consultant; Bebe Kleinman, CEO of Doctors Care; and Dr. Heather N Signorelli, a pathologist and vice president and chief laboratory officer for HCA Healthcare. Along with its ability to issue mask mandates and promote vaccines and testing during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tri-County Health supports a slew of other services to county residents, including no-cost cancer screenings, overdose prevention, free nurse visits and restaurant and child care facility inspections. These are all services Arapahoe County leaders pledged would continue under their new department. A budget still remains to be finalized, but the new health department is expected to cost at least $5 million or more annually, according to Sharpe, who said money will come from the county’s own budget as well as state and federal funds. Arapahoe County paid the most for Tri-County services of the three counties last year, according to a consulting firm’s report, at $4.8 million. Adams paid $3.8 million while Douglas paid $2.6 million.
age people to push their academic limits, or their athletic limits or their nerd limits, we have to make it OK to fail.” While Mueller doesn’t think ending valedictorian designation will change everything about that type of pressure, she thinks it’s “the sort of policy that’s a step in the right direction.” It could act as “a symbol to the larger community of ‘let’s make this cultural shift,’” Mueller said. But, she added,
such a shift would have to also be supported by other school policies, by parents and by kids themselves, and by teachers. One source of pressure that exists outside the reach of high school policy: the cost of paying for college. Part of what puts pressure on students is the pursuit of merit scholarships, which are more competitive than merely getting into college,
Mueller said. She argues students don’t need to attend a “highly selective university” to receive a good education. “I would actually argue if we could take some of the pressure off parents for paying for college and students for paying for college, I think that would (benefit) our nation’s mental health,” Mueller said. “Probably parents and students.”

Centennial Water OKs drought restrictions Dry conditions drive board to approve Stage 1 limits BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As expected, the Centennial Water & Sanitation District Board of Directors voted to move into Stage 1 drought restrictions during the July 6 meeting. The drought restrictions apply to those living in the Centennial Water service area, which includes the communities of Highlands Ranch, Solstice and Northern Douglas County Water & Sanitation District. Centennial Water is encouraging customers to cut outdoor water use by 15% to 20%. To help achieve this, Centennial Water is implementing the Stage 1 outdoor watering restrictions beginning Wednesday, July 20. Under the Stage 1 designation, outdoor irrigation will be limited to two days per week in accordance with Centennial Water’s adopted watering schedule. Residential customers with odd-numbered addresses can water on Sundays and Wednesdays; even-numbered addresses can water on Saturdays and Tuesdays. For a complete schedule, including multi-family and commercial irrigation customers, visit centennialwater.org. “Sometimes we have to take steps in the short-term to protect

against the uncertainties of current drought conditions,” Centennial Water General Manager Sam Calkins said in the press release. “Moving into Stage 1 restrictions is an example of this. Implementing water conservation measures now not only helps with current conditions but will also better position Centennial Water as it moves into another potentially dry year in 2023. We’re asking everyone to come together as a community to help conserve water so future restric-

tions are not needed.” According to the July 11 news release announcing the decision, the company said in its 40-plus year history, Centennial Water has been proactive in securing water resources and obtaining surface water storage rights to adequately serve the community. In doing so, Centennial Water is well positioned with a reliable water supply for today and into the future. According to the release, a key factor in Centennial Water’s success is utilizing a conjunctive use system, which combines supplies from both surface water and groundwater to meet water demands of the community. “We are proud that over the past 25 years, 90% of the water supplied to our customers has come from renewable river supplies,” said Board chairman Jeff Kappes. “As Colorado and the Western United States continues to move through a multi-year drought, this step taken by Centennial Water to move into Stage 1 water restrictions is consistent with our history of taking progressive steps in maintaining the portfolio we started more than 40 years ago.” Prior to elevating to Stage 1,
Centennial Water stayed under the “Drought Watch” designation through 2021 and the start of this summer. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, Douglas County has been in drought conditions since September 2021, and as of July 5, 2022, Centennial Water’s service area is in moderate drought conditions. Centennial Water staff and board members have kept a close eye on drought conditions that are warmer and drier than normal, pushing the board to make changes this summer. Centennial Water’s storage reservoirs have continued to drop. As of June 21, they were at 37% capacity, which is 30% less water in storage than the average for June over the past 10 years. Last year in May, data provided by the water district, had Centennial Water’s reservoir storage at 6,782 acre-feet, or 39% of the 17,200 capacity. The median storage level for May over the last 10 years has been 9,495 acre-feet.

hear from city council about these review criteria so that as we bring you all of the strategies, we’re providing all the information that you need to make the right decisions,” said Melanie Ward, Centennial’s manager of development foresight and infrastructure readiness. Garvin said the seven criteria points the working group proposed for evaluating each of these strategies are: the city’s comprehensive plan implementation, technical feasibility, administrative feasibility, diversity and equity considerations, impact, effectiveness and cost. Assessment of this criteria involves asking the following questions: Does the strategy support the city’s comprehensive plan, Centennial NEXT? How feasible is the strategy and does
it require a new specialized process or new staff? Does the strategy support a diverse and equitable community? Will implementing the strategy make a difference; how much of an improvement will the strategy make? What are the anticipated costs of implementing, and not implementing, the strategy? “It seems well-thought to me,” Mayor Stephanie Piko said. “I think the council has a great deal of confidence in how those work — those groups work together. So, I think we’re on the right track.” The working group consists of representatives from organizations including Denver South, Arapahoe County, South Metro Denver Realtors Association and Centennial representatives. Garvin said the working group meets monthly, and the next meeting is slated for July 25. After assessing and collecting community feedback on these nine strategies, the working group will help
narrow down the strategies to the top four that seem the most supported and likely to make an impact on Centennial, Ward said during a District 1 meeting on June 28. Then, those four strategies will potentially go before the Planning and Zoning Commission and/or city council, she said. Criteria in action: Assessing accessory dwelling units The first two strategies the working group is exploring are accessory dwelling units and inclusionary zoning policies. To show city council how the assessment process works, Garvin gave a presentation on how the working group has assessed accessory dwelling units so far. Accessory dwelling units are defined in Centennial’s housing study as “small secondary residential structures located behind the primary house or within an existing house.” These units are also referred to as “secondary dwellings,” “granny flats”
and “mother-in-law apartments.” Garvin said implementing accessory dwelling units would support Centennial NEXT. She said its implementation would be somewhat technically feasible because the units can usually be accommodated within the existing land use approval process, though there could be code enforcement issues depending on how the city chooses to set up the regulations. When assessing administrative feasibility, Garvin said the strategy would require updating zone district use permissions as well as deciding where these units could be located and if there should be size or design restrictions. Under the diversity and equity criteria, accessory dwelling units can be fairly expensive to build, which may cause a funding issue for some homeowners, Garvin said. On the other hand, for residents, accessory SEE STRATEGIES, P11

structure is not conducive for the challenging environment Centennial is going through. He said there are a lot of things the city can do if it builds upwards instead of outwards, which requires more roads and infrastructure to be built. Others, such as Hannah Guy, a certified nursing assistant who works in Centennial and lives in Englewood, said she wants privacy and there is a lack of space in many apartment and townhome developments. However, she said Centennial’s cost of living is too high for her to live there.

A single mother of two children whose rent has more than tripled in 15 years, a business owner who is moving for the 10th time in six years and workers in Centennial who wish they could live in the city but cannot afford it — these are the stories highlighted in a video presented to the Centennial City Council on July 11. The approximately nine-minute video, created by the city’s summer interns, features testimonials of seven people who either work and/ or live in Centennial. Each person was asked questions about what their housing experience in Centennial has been like, how they would like Centennial to look in the future and what housing types would be the most conducive to their needs. One of the stories featured in the video is that of Erica Hoffman, a single mother of two children and a manager of 303 Coffee Co. who has lived in Centennial for about 15 years. She said she loves being in Centennial. Her only non-positive experience has been the increased cost of living, she said. At least half of her income goes towards housing costs. “Fifteen years ago, for instance, I

was paying less than $600 a month for rent, and now we’re close to $2,000,” Hoffman said. “Over the past 15 years, while my income has possibly doubled, the cost of living here for me has more than tripled.” Affording to pay rent was also an issue for Marshelle Johnston, the owner of MJ Fit, located at 6858 S. Yosemite St. She first moved to Centennial about six years ago and has since moved within the Denver area about nine times. In a few weeks, she will be moving for a 10th time. “Centennial’s always been my hub. However, it is very unaffordable for many,” Johnston said in the video. “As, like, an adult woman

who owns a business and is doing progressive things with my life, to only be able to afford, like, a bedroom in someone’s basement is a problem.” The video also featured stories of people who work in Centennial but live elsewhere, such as Kashala Grant, a life enrichment associate at Someren Glen. Currently residing in Aurora, Grant said Centennial is a beautiful area but she wishes it were cheaper. When asked which housing option would be most conducive to the needs of Centennial, Salvador Ortiz, an investor, former president of a homeowners association and a homeowner in Centennial, said an apartment or flat-type structure similar to those that are in Europe, like those in Paris and Madrid, could be beneficial. “I would debate anybody about how those people’s lifestyles and their community is flourishing in those type of cities where they live in high-density areas,” he said. “A lot of times people, especially in this country, scoff at apartments because of thin walls, but there’s a way to be able to build some type of structures that give some type of dignified living and that are highdensity areas that offer amenities.” Ortiz said the idea that everyone needs to have a single-family
Video created by students as part of summer internship with the city The City of Centennial had five summer interns this year who worked on housing outreach for seven weeks. The internship is in partnership with the University of North Carolina Morehead-Cain Scholarship Foundation, said Melanie Ward, Centennial’s manager of development foresight and infrastructure readiness. While participation in the partnership is free to the City of Centennial, the scholars received a cost-of-living stipend from the Morehead-Cain Foundation to cover lodging and food in the Denver area. Finding the right project for the intern team is nuanced, Ward said, because the city looks for something that interns can do that is meaningful yet accomplishable in seven weeks. Having students work on housing outreach fit the criteria, she said. Developing the video was one of several efforts the interns did during their internship. The students also conducted preliminary research, attended some of the working group meetings for the city’s housing study and met with city departments to discuss how housing intersects with other community sectors, said Kyle Lumsden, one of the summer interns, during the July 11 meeting. “All this led us to our goal, which is to assist in driving empathy within the community and to also work SEE PROGRAM, P11

on diversifying housing stories in Centennial,” said Lumsden. When it came time to conduct interviews for the video about housing stories, the interns aimed to connect with people from a variety of religious groups, occupations and racial and ethnic backgrounds, said intern Laura Saavedra Forero. “These are communities that are historically and currently underrepresented, especially in governmental spheres. And that’s why we were very intentional about wanting to reach out to them,” Saavedra Forero said. She said she hopes the city will continue to make sure these voices are included as the housing study continues.

dwelling units can provide more housing for a range of incomes and people of different ages and abilities. The three other criteria points —impact, effectiveness and cost — will be assessed during the working group’s meeting later this month, Garvin said. The group will also be doing further analysis and assessment on the inclusionary zoning policy and what that implementation could look like in Centennial. “I think it’s the cost and the impact that is the hardest thing to anticipate,” Piko said. Garvin said the consultant team and staff have been talking about how to get cost information and that collecting actual cost numbers will be part of the process. The working group will also look at some longitudinal studies on strategies, like accessory dwelling units, that have been implemented elsewhere in the country to see what happens over time. She also said based on the working group’s assessment and community input, the group may present multiple methods to approach a strategy. “There will be strategies where the response that we propose will not be one size fits all. And so it’s entirely possible that there are two or three sets of ADU [accessory dwelling unit] regulations based on the circumstance in which they’ll be applied,” Garvin said. “The goal is to make sure that we’re fine tuning any regulatory policy changes to match the various parts of the community.” Community input on housing strategies Community feedback on these potential housing strategies is also part of the assessment process. Garvin said there were 40 responses so far to a survey about accessory dwelling units, and 75% said they would support allowing them in Centennial. Other feedback, such as regulations the city should consider and if residents are interested in creating an accessory dwelling unit on their property, is also being collected in the survey. “Our numbers are still relatively small here,” Garvin said. Residents
Council members reflect on need for action for future generations Following the video presentation, members of city council expressed gratitude to the interns for their hard work and for creating the video. “Thank you for doing this. It was a very engaging way to have a presentation about our housing study. I appreciated that you made good attempts to reach out to different people here in the city, as well as people who work here in the city but don’t live here because that’s a perspective we don’t often get to hear,” said Councilmember Candace Moon. Councilmember Mike Sutherland said the interns’ work provided a great foundation and illustrates
some of the challenges Centennial faces. “I didn’t hear anybody oppose density big time, and I think these people all have an appreciation for the fact that dense housing tends to be more affordable,” Sutherland said. Councilmember Tammy Maurer said the video is a great tool for her when having conversations with people about housing challenges in the community in the future. “I think the conversations that you had with these people really showed the opportunity that we have, and what we need to do as visionaries to move this city forward. Because we need people like you to move back into our city,” said Councilmember Christine Sweetland. Robyn Carnes said she moved into Centennial when it was affordable about 19 years ago, and seeing the video was bittersweet because it showed how desirable the community is to some people and reminded
her to be grateful for what she has. “A lot of people can’t live here but want to — so, again, the vision for, ‘How do we continue passing the baton and bringing in the next generation?’” Carnes said. Councilmember Richard Holt agreed with Carnes and said he moved into the area about 20 years ago, and if he was the same age as the interns, he would “have absolutely no clue” how to make the moves to live in Centennial. “I’ll echo the same sentiments,” said Mayor Stephanie Piko, pointing out that Centennial is only 20 years old. “What we’ve done over the last 20 years is create a desirable community for people to want to live in, and the ramifications of that is the affordability factor that isn’t here.” Those interested in learning more about Centennial’s housing study, outreach efforts and community input opportunities can visit: centennialco.gov/housing.

Cranelli’s establishes family dinner feel Lone Tree restaurant is labor of love for couple BY MADDIE BROWNING SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Not many business owners carry bags of homemade garlic knots to local businesses, treat their workers and customers like family, and spread love and positivity from table to table — besides Lasinda and Jimmy Crane, owners of Cranelli’s on Park Meadows Drive. Their story began 27 years ago on a blind date set up by their best friends. Since then, they have worked in the restaurant industry both together and apart to pave the way for Cranelli’s. Twenty years ago, their friends asked them to help open an Italian restaurant named after Jimmy called Jimmy C’s Pizza and Pasta in Lakewood. Lasinda and Jimmy developed the menu, later influencing Cranelli’s half and full portion choices. They also hosted a “marinara party” at the restaurant where they tasted nine of Jimmy’s different marinara sauces to determine the best one. The winner is still used today at Cranelli’s. Jimmy C’s expanded Lasinda’s and Jimmy’s skills from serving, managing and cooking to restaurant ownership. “We got to learn

how you build a restaurant, how you get your guests in there, how you keep them in there, so many learning moments,” said Lasinda. Lasinda and Jimmy moved on to flipping an Indian restaurant in Castle Pines into a steakhouse about two years later. Lasinda said, “We came in, and the kids slept on the bar. We were immersed in it.” Jimmy’s Steakhouse, also named

after Jimmy, flourished under Lasinda’s and Jimmy’s management. They hosted a fashion show and Christmas events in the restaurant, but eventually left when their job to flip the restaurant into a successful business was completed. Jimmy went on to help open Brio Tuscan Grille in Park Meadows while Lasinda became the general manager at Nordstrom eBar. After several years, Lasinda found Cranelli’s space on Craigslist and decided their chance to open their own restaurant was “now or never.” They took over the lease and began building the popular Italian restaurant, which opened in 2013. Lasinda said, “I knew this was our second home.” To grow their connection to the community, Lasinda passed out bags of garlic knots and attended business openings like Kaiser Permanente. She also became a board member of the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce to learn more about Lone Tree and give back. Lasinda runs the front of the
house at the restaurant, making sure customers are satisfied and learning more about their lives, while Jimmy cooks in the back. “I love what I do. There’s not one day that I wish I wasn’t going to work,” said Lasinda. The restaurant has regulars who come in once a week, but also receives about 40% new customers every day. Lasinda said they have gathered this statistic through servers interacting with customers. She wants to establish a community within the restaurant where everyone gets to know each other. “I tell my servers, ‘This is your house, and when people come to your house for a party, what do you do? You talk to them,’” said Lasinda. “‘You make sure your house is clean. You make sure your house is organized. You make sure that the food is fantastic.’” The hardest lesson Lasinda had to learn is that not everyone will love Cranelli’s. She said she tries to fix the experience for unhappy customers in the moment but isn’t always successful. “I can pick up on it. I can see when food is still left in the bowl. I can see when their demeanor is not happy, but sometimes people will not say a word,” said Lasinda. “Then they will go and leave the worst review.” Cranelli’s responds to every online review, good or bad, to acknowledge everyone’s experience. Lasinda said Cranelli’s will never be a trendy restaurant where the menu constantly changes. “What we are is consistent, great quality food. That chicken parmigiana you had 10 years ago is still the same chicken parmigiana because that’s what you love,” said Lasinda. Jimmy grew up with the loyalty of mom-and-pop restaurants and established those ideals in Cranelli’s. “We make (our employees) feel like they’re a part of more than just a restaurant,” said SEE CRANELLI’S, P13

Colorado viewers still won’t see local sports as attempted mediation fails BY PAOLO ZIALCITA COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO
Talks to end the three-year contract dispute between cable giant Comcast and local sports broadcaster Altitude TV failed July 12, meaning another season of Colorado sports could be unavailable to customers of the state’s largest cable provider. A Comcast spokesperson confirmed a second round of mediation failed to yield an agreement between the two parties. They do not currently have another round of mediation scheduled. “We are fans of the Avs, Nuggets and Rapids, and we share the Colorado hockey fans’ excitement around the Avs amazing Stanley Cup win.

Jimmy. The ultimate success of Cranelli’s rests in the strength of Lasinda’s and Jimmy’s partnership inside and outside of the restaurant. “I don’t want to be so cliche on this, but she’s my best friend,” said Jimmy. He said they are complete opposites — Lasinda loves to be out in
tomers. And we continue to remain open to continuing discussions with Altitude,” Comcast spokesperson Leslie Oliver said in an email. Altitude TV did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The channel broadcasts the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Rapids. The three teams and the channel are all owned by Stan Kroenke. The breakdown in negotiations will likely come as a disappointment to fans, as well as Colorado state legislators who introduced and subsequently killed a bill that would have forced the two parties to come to an agreement through state intervention. One group of fans will soon be free of this dispute, however. Starting in 2023, the Rapids will be removed from Altitude’s programming lineup.

No such thing as ‘The Media’
I
borrowed this week’s title from a long-ago colleague. Many years ago, he tried to stress the point that people referring to “The Media” is not quite accurate. Today, that statement is truer than ever. In reading articles and information about our industry, we often hear “The Media,” especially when we are being put down for the state and attitude of the nation. Here’s where I am going with this — There is no FROM THE such thing as “The Media” because an organization like Colorado Community Media and a CNN, FOX EDITOR News or New York Times are not alike at all. Television, radio, major news stations and major newspapers are not all made of the same cloth. Mainstream media and the small-town newspaper, which I will argue are more valuable today than ever, are nothing alike and the reporters doing the work are completely different. Over the last week, I read an interesting article where a journalist even says she is sick of the and listened to a radio show that talked about Thelma Grimes news just how tired of news the average American is. I have to say, I agree. Over the last few years, my news consumption has decreased tremendously. I rarely go near television news at all anymore. Here’s where the discussion gets interesting. Some who are talking about this topic are saying it happened during the pandemic when Americans just got tired of all of it. On a local radio show, the host recently talked about what happened to “The Media” when Donald Trump was elected president. Was it the pandemic or Donald Trump? I think the reasoning in both cases have valid points. I think Bill Maher said it best about the pandemic when he said at some point media coverage on COVID became more about “scaring the sh#$ out of people” over informing and reporting. There is some truth to that. Instead of reading and listening to commentary about the pandemic, I paid attention to local information and turned to the well-done data chart NPR created that just showed numbers on how each state was doing. Then, we have the Donald Trump effect. The former president did the media and nation no favors. The media became like a dog with a bone, covering every aspect of Trump’s unconventional way of leading this nation. Agree with the former president or not, I would argue with anyone telling me the media did a great job during his four years in office. Look at the Hunter Biden situation, I have a hard time believing that mainstream media would have ignored this story as much as they have if the name behind the investigation was Trump Jr. The problem with the pandemic and Trump’s presidency is the distrust in the media has grown, the divide in this country is huge and the impact is felt on media companies like CCM, where we are more worried about what your local city council and school board is doing than we are about whatever Biden’s press secretary said today. As distrust mounts and we are blamed for “The Media,” newspapers nationwide are closing and creating what is being referred to as “news deserts.” CNN and Fox News will weather the storm, speaking to their respective audiences who tune in to hear what they want to hear. However, once the local, community newspaper is no longer available, learning what local council members are doing, where your local tax dollars are going and why in the world the lanes are closed for construction again on Broadway — will no longer be available to you. Bottom line, don’t lump your local, community newspaper in with your disdain for “The Media.” Instead, we ask that you support us as we continue to build and grow to serve 24 communities along the Front Range.

Getting back what we put out
W
orking with Zig Ziglar was truly a blessing in so many ways. Whenever he would meet someone in the afternoon or evening, he would greet them with a big smile and an enthusiastic and cheerful, “Good morning.” The person on the receiving end would almost always reply with, “Good morning to you too.” And then would catch themselves saying, “But it’s not morning.” And Zig would reply with a question, “Well then why did you say good morning?” And the person would say, “Because you said good morning.” That’s where the teaching would begin as Zig would remind the person that we get back what we put out, giving the person an aha moment. We know that when trying something like this, that it all comes down to the delivery. And Zig was so easygoing and good hearted that no one ever took offense to his mini lessons of life. Another story he would share from the stage is this one. A woman and her 6-year-old son were at home one day. The family lived on a mountain range and overlooked a valley. One day the young boy was getting into some mischief as young boys tend to do, and his mother disciplined him and withheld his afternoon snack until he would apologize. The boy ran out of the house slamming the door behind him yelling, “I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.” And as he did a young boy’s voice echoed from the valley saying, “I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.” Terrified, the boy ran back into his house and into his mother’s arms crying. He told her that there was a boy in the valley yelling that he hates me. The mom knowing full well it was the echo encouraged her son to go back outside and shout, “I love you, I love you, I love

you,” and see what happens. The boy did as instructed, and the voice was heard echoing in return, “I love you, I love you, I love you.” We really do get back what we give out. Even a smile. Keeping with my Zig Ziglar theme, Zig would always encourage people by sayMichael Norton ing, “If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.” We are at odds with one another in so many ways and places. And if we are in a state of fear, worry and doubt about what is happening locally or globally, we could all probably benefit by remembering that people will respond or react to what we do and what we say. If we say good morning at 5:00 at night, they may respond by saying good morning back. We must remember that what we are yelling from the mountaintop or by email, text, or social media, that we will also get back what we put out. So why not put out more loving kindness, and reasonableness? In 1914 during World War I, the Americans, French and Germans, put aside their war for a short time to meet on the battlefield to celebrate Christmas, exchanging gifts, food and stories. This was a world war, and yet they found common ground. After a heavily contested boxing match or UFC bout, the fighters do their best to win, but when the fight is over, they meet in the middle and hug or acknowledge the other out of respect. It happens in other sports too. When the game is over, regardless of who won or lost, you can see

Inflation is not always bad
f you were not an adult in the 1970s or even born yet, you might not have a clue what all this talk about inflation is. And even if you do remember clearly, this time is likely to be different. Remember our new favorite word from COVID is “unprecedented.” Most of us know that inflation is when prices go higher, but that is not always a bad thing for the economy. We want economic growth; therefore, prices will rise, along with profits and interest rates. These are not negatives unless things get out of hand. If you rely on your one economics class on supply and demand, this concept is relatively simple. However, the causes play into the effects and that is where the uncertainty lies. Today consumers are concerned they are dipping into their discretionary spending to pay for necessities such as food, housing, and
fuel. Investors are concerned their assets are not holding their true purchasing power if everything gets more expensive but investment cycles ebb and flow with the economy. Therefore, the denominator must be growth. Patricia Kummer No one complains about high prices if they feel they are getting value for the money spent, or they have enough money to buy what they want without feeling a pinch. It’s when we don’t have the wage increases, or the stock market rising that we feel things cost too much. If the economy is on a growth tear and corporate earnings are soaring, then our investments should be going up
as well. When prices increase without the underlying growth in your financial situation, then inflation feels personal. And it is …. personal. We all have our own inflation rate. It is made up of what we like to buy, how much we earn, and how we handle periods of economic decline in light of our needs and wants. According to Jay Weinstein, CFA ¹ most people would say inflation goes up when the economy gets too strong, or the government prints too much money. Except that was not the case in the 1970s. Nor was the opposite true between 1983 and 2007 when we had consistent economic growth and still managed two recessions and falling interest rates for 25 years. The period from 2008 until now included the Great Recession followed by painfully slow economic growth, the Fed’s easy money policy, and now
stagflation, inflation, market corrections, slowing economic growth and a potential recession. Economists may deem the cause of rising rates to be the result of three main contributors: Pent-up demand from COVID; reduced supply of fuel and food due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine; and supply chain shortages due to China’s lockdown. None of these would have been caused by a normal economic cycle of recessionary traits such as high unemployment and negative economic growth. Those things may come but they would not be the cause, they would actually be the effect. So yes, I guess this is a legitimate use of the word “unprecedented.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Newell column spurs questions Regarding the column “Fewer freedoms, more politics” by Linda Newell, July 7: Former state Sen. Linda Newell’s July 7 column, “Fewer freedoms, more politics,” leaves me wondering. Why should women bear the burden of abortion when men should be responsible for their role in pregnancy? What about the rights of the female lives lost via abortion? Would Senator Newell be willing to define the terms advanced regarding abortion by President Bill Clinton and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton: safe — legal — rare? In light of her concern about politicization of the judiciary, how does Senator Newell evaluate previous Supreme Court decisions, such as: Obamacare (2012), Obergefell (2015), DACA (2020), and Bostock (2020)? If “politics is local,” why wouldn’t Senator Newell advocate for abortion rules to be decided at the community and state level, as the Dobbs decision allows? I look forward to further columns by Senator Newell taking up these issues. Tom Siekmeier, Littleton Column went overboard Kudos to your columnist for using the terms “Americans with uteruses” and “pregnant person” in a column appearing on July 7. Too often we regress to those dark days before 2021, by using the hurtful word “women.” However, your columnist erred in also referred to “my mother and grandmothers,” rather than the acceptable Newspeak terms “birthing person” and “grand-birthing persons.” As Orwell teaches, we cannot control the way people think unless we first change
the language, and to do that we must be consistent. The column also correctly notes that our Constitution was written by “all white wealthy men.” Marx taught us that we cannot move forward unless victim classes are created and class warfare is stoked. And isn’t it time we judge the value of something by the race, sex and economic status of its authors, rather than by its truth or virtue? A particularly valuable insight is that “Americans with uteruses have fewer rights than a firearm.” Of course, inanimate objects have no rights. For instance, my Smith & Wesson has no right to be baptized as a Presbyterian. It is only important that the phrase has a nice ring to it and serves the chosen narrative. The same is true for the column’s assertion that a majority of the Supreme Court wants to go back to the days when “Black persons were legally allowed to be enslaved.” Never mind that this majority includes a justice who is himself Black. The phrase nonetheless serves its purpose by inflaming emotions, at least among those who do not think for a nanosecond about its absurdity. Finally, the column is to be applauded for pointing out that unlike many other states, in Colorado “we are lucky to still have protected voting rights.” This is to be contrasted with other states where apparently they do not “still have protected voting rights.” Though this cannot be explained, better to not explain when it cannot be supported. Of course, the above is written as satire and with my tongue in cheek. What I truly do lament is your columnist’s observation that celebrating the Fourth of July was difficult SEE LETTERS, P31

2 Denver area female aviators share their stories of earning their wings BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
S
N I G T A T E H F E E D OD
tephanie Wells and Donna Miller grew up during a time when women could not be pilots, but the two Denver women did not give up on their dreams and eventually earned their wings. Miller, a first officer, flies the Boeing 787 Dreamliner for American Airlines, and Wells is retired after an illustrious career that included flying for NASA and working for the Federal Aviation Administration.
Defying gender barriers Miller grew up in Golden. Her father was a Colorado School of Mines professor and an aviator. “He was a back seater in the F-4 in the Navy and went to top gun,” Miller said. “He was my inspiration growing up.” Miller attended Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah, which had an aviation program but only for men. So, she majored in business administration, economics and international management. She spent her last semester of college overseas and was accepted to the American College in Paris. She ended up living abroad for eight years. Miller moved to South Korea for two years and worked as an Air Force civilian, where she got her pilot’s license in 1988 at age 27. She then moved to Frankfurt, Germany, where she took a job as an administrative assistant for a computer company from 1989 to 1990, when the Berlin Wall fell. “I was 27 and considered military, but the age cutoff was 27 and a half, and at that time, the military didn’t need pilots,” Miller said. Miller returned to Denver in late 1990 and started working at Jeppesen, coding the database for airline onboard computers. While there, Miller met Capt. Elrey B. Jeppesen, after whom the Jeppesen Terminal at Denver International Airport was named.
She said Orville Wright signed Jeppesen’s pilot’s license, and he gave her a piece of fabric from the Wright brothers’ first aircraft. “I helped Jeppesen catalog all of his memorabilia, which is in a display case at Denver International Airport,” Miller said. Miller left Jeppesen to work for the United Airlines Training Center in 1995. It was another desk job, but it put her in right place at the right time. While Miller was working at the training center, Capt.Ted Stiles, who was on United’s hiring committee, came into her office. “He said, ‘Donna, you can’t steal second with your foot on first,’” Miller said. “I said, ‘excuse me.’ He said, ‘if you ever wanted to be a pilot, you have to leave your cushy little desk job and go out and fly — get the experience you need and then you can return to the airlines.” Miller started a file called “stealing second” that day and contacted every single flight operator she knew. “I probably didn’t even have 500 hours at the time, which is really low time, but I had all of my ratings,” she said. Miller got her first pilot’s job in 1998 flying car parts to Mexico from El Paso, Texas. “It was low paying,” she said. “We loaded and unloaded our own airplanes. It was tough duty.” She also flew skydivers without pay, but she could jump for free. In 1999, she was hired as a first officer and a captain with Air Midwest. She flew regional turboprop jets out of Florida for over two years. She applied at United, Delta and American, and finally, in June 2001, she was hired by American. Miller logged her first passenger flight to Chicago on Sept. 10, 2001, the day before 9/11, and on Oct. 1, she was furloughed. During the furlough, which ultimately lasted 11 years, Miller found other flying jobs, which were low paying but helped her stay current and qualified. In 2013, Miller resumed flights with American Airlines based in Chicago. She lives in Denver but commutes elsewhere to fly the 787 Dreamliner. She also runs marathons and so far has completed 32. Airline pilots have to retire at age 65; Miller is 61. “I’m not sure yet where I want to retire — maybe Portugal and spend more time SEE WINGS, P17

in Europe,” Miller said. “But I want to keep my hands in aviation because I love flying. It will always be a part of my life.” A life-long passion Wells was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and grew up in Washington, D.C. She took her first flight at age 15 and immediately fell in love with aviation. “I was picked up and carried away by it, but I couldn’t afford it,” Wells said. “It was just so far out of reach; it might have been impossible.” Wells graduated with a bachelor of science degree in meteorology from Iowa State University in 1975, and while in college, she started working toward obtaining her private pilot’s license. After graduation, she joined the Air Force, and her first assignment was as a weather forecaster. “It was very cool to work as a forecaster, but my dream was always to be a pilot,” Wells said. She said the Air Force announced it would start training women as pilots within a year of her joining. “So, I was in the right place at the right time,” Wells said. Wells began pilot training in 1978 and, after graduation, was assigned as an instructor pilot for the Cessna T-37 trainer. She later served as an instructor for the WC-130 “typhoon chaser” aircraft and the supersonic T-38 Talon. She got the opportunity to train her peers to pilot these planes but becoming a fighter pilot was still out of reach for women at that time. “I couldn’t get it, but that was OK,” Wells said. “I was so happy just to be the pilot for the Air Force.” Wells was on active duty for the Air Force from 1975 to 1985 and then transferred from active duty to the Air Force Reserves. “I flew more than 10 years
in San Antonio, flying the C-5 galaxy military transport,” Wells said. As a part-time reservist, she could pursue a civilian career, and her dream job was to fly for NASA. In 1986, she was hired by NASA, and her first assignment was as a zero-gravity test director. She eventually advanced to piloting the KC-135 Stratotanker Zero-G, “vomit comet,” aircraft. She also served as chief of training and aviation safety officer at NASA, and she earned her master’s of science degree in aeronautical science from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University by attending classes in the evenings. “I was also pilot on a couple of other airplanes, including the administrative airplane Gulfstream 1 to transport the bosses, and then, I got to fly the Gulfstream 2, which is a special simulator to train the astronauts,” Wells said. Wells said there were about 20 staff pilots and approximately 140 astronauts at NASA. The pilots’ mission was mainly to support the manned space program and to help train astronauts. Wells decided she wanted to be close to her family in Colorado, so she left NASA and went to work for the Federal Aviation Administration in 2003 as a safety inspector at the Denver Flight Standards Office at Denver International Airport. “I was an instructor pilot for the FAA, and I also had many (other) tasks, including overseeing air charter companies, flight schools, agriculture operators, external load helicopters, monitoring air shows, doing accident investigation,” Wells said. Wells retired from the FAA in 2010 and was off to her next adventure, flying parttime for Mountain Aviation in Broomfield and instructing pilots on the King Air. She also worked for Rocky Mountain Aerial surveys flying the Cessna 206 doing surveys with a LIDAR camera that produces 3-D mapping.
Donna Miller is a first officer with American Airlines and is pictured in the COURTESY PHOTO cockpit of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
“They had special instruments mapping the folds and valleys of the terrain in extreme detail,” Wells said. “It’s used for different things — mapping a golf course or
building a road through a canyon.” She is now a volunteer pilot for Light Hawk and also enjoys skiing, hiking and international travel.

National parks in Colorado had a record year in revenue last year. In a report released by the National Park Service, 7.8 million visitors spent an estimated $560 million while visiting national parks in Colorado in 2021. Those numbers broke the previous mark of $515 million set in 2019. The expenditures from the revenue funded 7,570 jobs in the state, according to the report. Visitors spent the most of their money on lodging, restaurants, and gas. Lodging brought in $188 million which accounted for 33.5 percent of revenue earned. Restaurants took in $109 million, and $58.7 million was

Garon awarded the first place / juror’s choice award to Denver artist Sharon Brown’s charming portrait of an older couple, “The Joneses,” dressed up, smiling happily and holding hands, they stand in front of a hedge of pink roses on a sunny day. One thinks perhaps they have just attended a service at their favorite church and cheerfully look forward to a family dinner nearby. Brown states: “I grew up with a number of artists in my family so it was natural for me to draw and paint from an early age.” She works in oil and wa-

Seven state Senate districts could shift control Colorado Republicans have opening to take chamber in General Assembly BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN
The Colorado Senate is likely where Republicans have their best shot this year of taking back some control of state government from Democrats after four years in the minority of the legislative and executive branches. While the GOP will try to win a majority in the Colorado House and unseat Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, the odds are stacked against them in those two arenas. That leaves the 35-member Senate as the most plausible place to turn the tide. Here’s a look at where the battlegrounds will be. The lay of the land Democrats now hold a 20-15 advantage in the Senate. They are guaranteed 12 seats, with 11 holdovers and one Democratic candidate, Sen. Julie Gonzales of Denver, running unopposed. Republicans are guaranteed eight seats, with seven holdovers and one uncontested race in Senate District 1 on the deeply Republican Eastern Plains, where Logan County Commissioner Byron Pelton is unopposed.
Lawmakers are seen on the Capitol’s House floor on Jan. 12 in Denver at the start of the PHOTO BY OLIVIA SUN / THE COLORADO SUN Colorado General Assembly’s 2022 session.
Another five seats up for grabs in November are considered solidly Republican, while three are considered solidly Democratic. That leaves seven seats that are possible pick-up opportunities for the GOP, according to Cnalysis, which ranks the competitiveness of state legislative contests. The seven critical districts The seven tossup districts are across Colorado. We have listed them out below. (The amounts in parentheses are the amount of money each candidate had in their campaign bank account as of June 22.) • Senate District 3: This Pueblo seat tilts Republican. Democratic state Sen.

($14,387), an Army veteran. Hinrichsen was appointed to the seat earlier this year after Senate President Leroy Garcia resigned to take a Pentagon job. • Senate District 11: This reconfigured Colorado Springs district tilts Democratic. GOP state Sen. Dennis Hisey ($33,179) moved into the district after being drawn out of his old seat in the once-a-decade redistricting process. He’ll face state Rep. Tony Exum ($9,238), who won his primary contest. • Senate District 15: Cnalysis says this district leans Republican. Incumbent Republican state Sen. Rob Woodward ($138,003), of Loveland, will face Democrat Janice Marchman ($30,531), a middle school math teacher from Loveland. • Senate District 27: This Arapa-

hoe County district leans Democratic. State Rep. Tom Sullivan ($41,217), a Democrat and gun-regulation advocate, faces Tom Kim ($3,022), a business owner and former lawyer. • Senate District 20: This Jefferson County district leans Democratic. State Rep. Lisa Cutter ($41,254), a Democrat, faces Tim Walsh ($22,689), owner of Confluence Builders. • Senate District 8: This Democratic-leaning district is based in northwestern Colorado. Democratic state Rep. Dylan Roberts ($124,176) faces former Eagle City Councilman Matt Soloman ($19,632), a Republican. • Senate District 24: This is a Democratic-leaning district in northwest Adams County. Democratic state Rep. Rep. Kyle Mullica ($54,272) faces Republican Courtney Potter ($16,607), an Adams 12 Five Star Schools board member. The money Most of the spending in these races won’t be by the candidates, but rather by the state-level super PACs supporting them. In 2018, when Democrats wrested control of the Senate from Republicans after four years in the minority, Republican outside groups spent nearly $8.5 million compared with Democratic outside groups spending $8.3 million on five competitive races. That compared with $1.9 million spent by Democratic SEE SHIFT, P23

candidates in the five contests, while the five GOP candidates spent a total of $631,000. And in 2020, Democratic outside groups spent $6.1 million compared with Republican outside groups’ $3.3 million. This year, Republicans have the cash advantage through June 22. The Senate Majority Fund had raised about $2.6 million to support Republican candidates, while All Together Colorado raised about $1.7 million to support Democrats. The national GOPAC Election Fund contributed $560,000 to the Senate Majority Fund and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America Colorado PAC contributed $160,000 to the fund.

Pepsi to build its largest U.S. plant in Denver City offers $1 million in incentives to maker of soft drinks BY SARAH MULHOLLAND COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO
PepsiCo has chosen Denver as the place where it will build what will be its largest U.S. plant. Colorado beat out three other states to become the site of the mammoth facility, Pepsi said in a statement on July 13. The company acquired roughly 152 acres of land near Denver International Airport

“This was a good deal for a multinational corporation who needed a newer, larger space and got a city to relocate and essentially build a community around their needs,” CdeBaca said in a text message. “Denverites should be concerned about how their tax dollars were spent in this deal and how this city caters to corporate needs when it is small businesses struggling to survive.” The old facility on Brighton Boulevard is in CdeBaca’s district.
for the planned 1.2 million-squarefoot manufacturing facility, which is set to open next year. “We’re thrilled to call Denver, a city that shares so many of our values, home to PepsiCo’s most sustainable U.S. plant location,” said Johannes Evenblij, PepsiCo Beverages president of North America’s West Division, in the statement. In March, Denver City Council approved $1 million in incentives for Pepsi’s project. As Pepsi builds the facility and adds new jobs, the city will pay the company cash in installments. The city expects to make the payments over a multi-year period until the site is completed. As part of the deal, Pepsi will
move its longtime operation on Brighton Boulevard in Denver’s RiNo neighborhood to the new facility. The company says all 250 employees at the existing facility will be moved to the new site, and that they will create an additional 250 jobs — with an average wage of $65,000 — on top of that. Denver officials estimate the project could bring $6 million in additional revenue to the city’s general fund over a five-year period and $11 million over a 10-year period. Denver Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca, the only council member to vote against the deal, contends the new facility is primarily a good deal for Pepsi.
