Police union blasts sheri , county

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A local police union has accused Sheri Darren Weekly and other Douglas County o cials of engaging in unfair labor practices during an e ort to unionize the sheri ’s o ce.

e accusations come as the union — the local Fraternal Order of Police branch — canceled an election that would have alunion.

e union indicated that it may try to reschedule the election in the coming months.

“Despite recent events, we remain committed to moving forward with this important initiative,” the FOP branch wrote on its Facebook page, adding: “We decided that going forward would not be prudent because we believe that

the Sheri and the County have committed multiple unfair labor practices under Colorado Law.”

e union did not respond to requests for comment from the Douglas County News-Press.

Undersheri David Walcher took issue with the union’s characterization of the sheri ’s o ce, saying leaders “didn’t intimidate or ‘interfere’ with anyone or anything.”

Bus assault case spurs preemptive changes in policies

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County School District is proactively changing its bus monitoring policies in response to allegations that a former Littleton School District paraprofessional harmed children with disabilities as they rode the bus.  e district said it will begin randomly checking video feeds from transportation for special education students, as well as have sta speak with students on a random basis about their experiences taking thirdparty transportation.

“We are making improvements as a result of the Littleton situation,” Chief Operations O cer Rich Cosgrove said at a recent board meeting.

In April, former Littleton Public Schools employee Kiarra Jones, 29, was charged with third degree assault against a juvenile, a felony. Jones is also alleged to have beat other students who are autistic and non-verbal. Englewood police, the charging agency, continues to investigate the case to see if other children were harmed and if more charges are warranted.

Metro district works to bring trees back after last year’s tornado

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s been nearly one year since a tornado ripped through Highlands Ranch, taking hundreds of trees with it. And, National Arbor Day on April 26 became an opportunity for the community to recover from the loss.

Over 800 trees were destroyed on Highlands Ranch metro district property and hundreds more were uprooted and damaged during the June storm. Trees along the roadways disappeared, leaving holes in the ground, and for weeks, residents worked to remove damaged trees from their yards.

To help recover, dozens of volunteers spent a day planting new trees at Big Dry Creek Park on this year’s Arbor Day.

Volunteers with Boy Scouts Troop 870 and the Centennial Water and Sanitation District focused their attention on that park, which was signi cantly impacted by the tornado.

“We’re grateful to have the help of these wonderful volunteers as we

make progress restoring our tree canopy,” Ken Standen, the metro district’s director of operations and maintenance, said in a statement.

Purchased with a Reforest Colorado grant from the nonpro t Colorado Tree Coalition, new oaks, lindens, maples and other tree species were planted throughout the park.

“We are planting around 225 new trees across our community this spring during the rst year of our seven-year replacement plan,” Standen said.

Although Highlands Ranch may not look like it, there are more than 14,500 trees in its “urban forest” along roadways, parks, open space and neighborhoods, according to the metro district.

Many watched as piles in parking lots of local parks grew taller and taller with tree limbs last summer. To properly dispose of tree limbs, the metro district often provides free community limb recycling locations.

On May 5, residents can recycle discarded tree limbs and woody plant materials that may have been

damaged in recent wind, hail and snow storms. e recycling event will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of Redstone Park, near Halftime Help Stadium, at 3270 Redstone Park Circle.

To help preserve existing plant life, the metro district is also working to eradicate all Russian olive trees in the community. e invasive trees were not originally planted with bad intentions, according to the district website, but they have been illegal to sell in Colorado for about 20 years.

e district is o ering a homeowner incentive program to remove the Russian olive trees on residential property. Homeowners are eligible to receive $150 — per household, not per tree.

Homeowners must apply for the incentive program online, and a metro district forestry sta member

will verify the tree is on the property and that it’s removed. It is up to the homeowner to remove the tree.

e metro district has a board that oversees trees in Highlands Ranch, along with a tree-care ordinance. e ordinance is a set of guidelines adopted by the district in 1988 that assigns authority over public trees and provides guidance for planting, maintaining or removing trees from parkways, parks and other metro district property.

Highlands Ranch has been recognized by Tree City USA for more than 30 years due to the district’s dedication to maintaining the health of existing trees and ghting tree-related insects and diseases. Tree City USA is sponsored by e Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters.

Centennial Water and Sanitation District sta members help plant trees at Big Dry Creek Park, at 9898 Atherton Way, during the Highlands Ranch Metro District’s Arbor Day volunteer planting.

Zillow Rolls Out a Home ‘Touring Agreement’ That Doesn’t Comply With Colorado Law

Ever since the March 15th announcement by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) that it had reached a settlement on the massive litigation against it regarding buyer agent commissions, brokers and brokerages have been trying to figure out how they can get buyers to sign an agreement of the type required by that settlement.

Such an agreement would have to provide for payment by buyers of the broker working on their behalf, and that agreement would have to be signed before an agent could show the buyer any homes for sale.

with whom I shared Zillow’s agreement last week.

First, since it has not been approved by the Colorado Real Estate Commission (CREC), Zillow’s form can only be used by brokers if it has been prepared by that broker’s own lawyer. Second, it does not contain the required definitions of working relationships.

I asked Waters what new or changed contracts the Division is working on to comply with the provisions of the NAR settlement, and she replied as follows:

Zillow, which is now a brokerage, not merely a real estate listing site, thinks it has produced an agreement which satisfies that requirement and that buyers would be happy to sign. The essence of it is that it is non-exclusive, lasts only seven days, and does not commit the buyer to paying anything.

Although the “Touring Agreement” is copyrighted, the April 30th blog post by Zillow’s Chief Industry Development Officer, Errol Samuelson, states that “we’re making it available for use to the entire residential real estate industry.”

Above right I have reproduced the one-page agreement, omitting only the non-discrimination clause and the signature lines.

In the blog post, Samuelson acknowledged that “the form of this agreement will vary by state, [but] we’re calling on the industry to adopt a non-exclusive, limited-duration agreement for the initial tours conducted by an agent with a prospective buyer.”

Indeed the form does not comply with Colorado state law in two respects, according to Marcia Waters, who heads the Division of Real Estate at the Colorado Department of Regulatory Affairs,

“It is our position that the NAR settlement doesn't require any changes to our forms. With that said, the Forms Committee is working on some possible revisions to the listing contracts, the contract to buy and sell and the brokerage disclosure to buyer to provide further clarification about compensation. Those revisions will be considered by the Real Estate Commission at their nonrulemaking hearing for the forms in June.” That meeting is at 9 a.m. on June 4th. The requirements established by the NAR settlement are now set to take effect on August 17th.

I like the concept of Zillow’s proposed touring agreement, since the NAR settlement only specifies “an agreement.” Having sent it to the Division of Real Estate and also to Frascona, Joiner, Goodman & Greenstein, PC, the law firm which serves Golden Real Estate and hundreds of other brokerages with legal forms not among those mandated by the CREC, I’m hopeful that one or the other of them will produce a “showing agreement” that we can use.

Without such an document agreeable to buyers, we can expect that buyers will only call listing agents to see listed homes. That scenario would serve neither the industry nor the public.

NAR Releases Additional Rules Pursuant to Settlement

Heretofore, the only guidance brokers had regarding the NAR settlement was that the MLS could no longer display an offer of co-op compensation for listings and that brokers could not show listings to a buyer with first executing a written agreement with that buyer. Last week we were advised of some additional rules that the MLSs need to follow. Here are the key takeaways. MLSs may not “create, facilitate, or support any non-MLS mechanism (including by providing listing information to an internet aggregator’s website for such purpose)” that includes “offers of compensation to buyer brokers or other buyer representatives.”

MLS data may not be used “directly or indirectly” to create a platform containing offer of compensation, and, if that is done, the MLS must terminate the access to the MLS and MLS data by the offending broker or brokerage.

Virtually every brokerage has its own website on which MLS listings are displayed. These websites must not, with or without MLS support, filter the display of listings to exclude individual listings based on the level of compensation offered or to exclude listings by specific brokerages or specific listing agents within a brokerage.

New Homes Can Have Inspection Issues, Too

This will be a good year, I believe, for the developers and builders of new homes. There’s a decent supply, you can choose between spec homes that are already built, or design a home to your specifications if you are not in a rush.

You won’t have to deal with bidding wars, but you also won’t be able to negotiate a price reduction. It’s “list price only” with builders.

Also, you can hire a buyer’s agent, such as my broker associates or me, who will be paid by the builder, so you don’t have to pay for professional representation. Too many buyers of new homes end up regretting that they bought from a builder’s salesperson and didn’t have a professional on their side. The builder’s agent is working for the builder and not in your best interest.

Another mistake buyers make is to think that because a home is new, it doesn’t need to be inspected. You abso-

“Concentrate on giving

lutely must invest in the cost of a professional home inspector. We have an inspector on our team, Jim Camp, who has decades of experience inspecting new homes for buyers. We recommend him exclusively. New construction is permitted and must pass county or city inspection, but, based on the kinds of defects that Jim has found in new homes, we worry that these inspections can be too cursory.

Jim likes to do a 2-phase inspection. The first inspection would be at the rough-in or pre-drywall stage, and the second or final inspection would be prior to the buyer’s final walk-through with the builder.

As when buying an existing home, money spent on inspections is money well spent, because you might uncover hidden defects, from sewer to attic, that could cost you much more later on.

Syphilis cases in Colorado are exploding

BY JOHN INGOLD

THE COLORADO SUN

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

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

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

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

a signi cant jump from previous years.

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

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

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

To combat this rise in syphilis cases among infants, the state Health

Department on late last month issued a public health order requiring medical providers to step up testing for syphilis infections in people who are pregnant.

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

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

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

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

Syphilis is treated through common antibiotics.

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

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

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

“Without a doubt, this program

saves lives,” he said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonpro t based in Denver that covers the state.

Syphilis is treated with multiple penicillin injections over the course of about three weeks.

“I personally had dozens of employees reach out to me to thank the sheri ’s o ce for helping them understand the situation,” Walcher told the News-Press.

Commissioner George Teal, one of the county’s three elected leaders, said the county’s actions were legally reviewed.

“Everything we did was reviewed by our attorney prior to doing it to make sure we were not in violation of either state or federal labor laws,” Teal told the News-Press.

‘Sharing our opinions’

Union representation of the sheri ’s o ce could enable employees to negotiate salaries, bene ts and other aspects of their jobs through collective bargaining.

In a document, the local union

branch, FOP Lodge 47, alleged that the sheri has “bombarded employees with emails containing illegal and misleading statements” about the FOP while “using county resources and email addresses.”

e document, posted by the FOP on Facebook, also accuses county Commissioners Teal, Abe Laydon and Lora omas of creating a YouTube video using public funds “designed to intimidate and mislead voters about the collective bargaining process and the election.”

at’s an apparent reference to a commissioners’ video message released in March, where the commissioners argued that unionizing would hamper the interests of sheri ’s employees and the public.

In response to the accusation, Teal said o cials used resources allocated to the commissioners’ communications budget to make the video.

“Sharing our opinions is what the people of Douglas County expect from us and we wanted to inform

them about the collective bargaining petition,” Teal said. “All of which is allowed under Colorado and federal labor laws by the way.”

e FOP also alleged that the county hired outside attorneys to conduct “anti-union” meetings.

Walcher pushed back on the idea that o cials’ actions were improper. “We attempted to educate our employees so that they could make informed decisions. is included training that the majority of our deputies and sergeants attended,” Walcher said.

e document is labeled for the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. e department conrmed that the FOP’s document was led but declined to provide a copy of it to the News-Press, citing that it regards a pending matter.

County’s accusation

e county has also argued that the FOP misled employees, leading them to believe the sheri supported unionization e orts when he did not.

“ is trickery by the union caused many employees to sign their names in support of a union because they were falsely led to believe Sheri Weekly supported it,” Teal alleged in the commissioners’ video message. e sheri ’s o ce provided the News-Press the letter that Teal apparently referred to.

“In the spirit of transparency and support, I met with Sheri Weekly to share the survey results and discuss our proposed course of action. Sheri Weekly expressed his continued support for us and the FOP,” said the letter, signed as “president” of the local FOP branch.

Deborah Takahara, spokesperson for the sheri ’s o ce, reiterated Teal’s concern that the statement was misleading, saying that “employees have expressed confusion about the sheri ’s stance.”

Teal had expressed concern that “unionization will endanger public safety” and argued that FOP “politics” could push deputies out of the sheri ’s o ce.

BY CCM STAFF

Colorado Community Media — made up of 23 publications serving cities and towns in the Denver metro area — is expanding.

e Denver North Star and the G.E.S. Gazette, established in 2019 and 2021 as free monthly publications and digital products, are joining the portfolio. e National Trust for Local News, Colorado Community Media’s parent company, completed the acquisition of those titles on May 1.

e monthly North Star is Denver’s largest neighborhood publication, and the G.E.S. Gazette, which transitioned to digital-only earlier this year, is a bilingual community publication serving the Globeville and ElyriaSwansea neighborhoods. ey are in close geographic proximity to other publications operated by CCM, including the Washington Park Pro le and Life on Capitol Hill.

e publications were owned and operated by David Sabados and his wife, Emma Donahue, and were founded in response to a lack of community media in North Denver, Sabados said. He told the Colorado Community Media sta during a meeting May 1 that when they began looking for a buyer for the publications about a year ago, CCM immediately seemed like the right t.

“We took a long look at Denver’s and the state’s media landscape of hyperlocal publications and ended up where we started: When we thought about who we trusted to keep the papers’ community feel and

ensure their long-term viability, we knew they would be in good hands at CCM,” he said.

Sabados and Donahue will serve as advisers to aid in the transition. Editor Kathryn White and others involved with the North Star and Gazette also will continue working with the CCM operation.

“I’ve long been a fan of the Denver North Star and the G.E.S. Gazette, and what David and his team have done for that community,” Colorado Community Media Publisher Linda Shapley said. “I’m thrilled to take the baton and do what I can to make those publications even stronger.”

e plan is to soon merge the websites for the North Star and Gazette into Colorado Community Media’s site, which serves as the home for all of CCM’s two dozen titles — including the Arvada Press, Golden Transcript, Parker Chronicle and Littleton Independent, among others. e acquisition of the G.E.S. Gazette is Colorado Community Media’s second publication serving Spanishspeaking audiences. CCM launched its rst bilingual news product in January — La Ciudad, a newsletter in Spanish and English that primarily serves Commerce City. According to the Pew Research Center, 21% of the nation’s 65 million Hispanic adults get their news in Spanish.

e National Trust for Local News, a nonpro t dedicated to acquiring, transforming and conserving local newspapers, bought Colorado Community Media in 2021. In fact, May 1 also was the three-year anniversary of that acquisition.

The Denver North Star’s print edition publishes mid-month. The G.E.S. Gazette can toggle between English and Spanish.

Female student team creates device with goal of averting wildlife crashes

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ey may not have their licenses yet, but four young STEM School Highlands Ranch high schoolers are working to eliminate one of the worst fears for Colorado drivers: hitting wildlife.  e all-female student team, who call themselves STEM’s Rubber Duckies, have designed an infrared device that can detect wildlife and alert drivers. e idea stemmed from a love for animals and a passion to increase safety for everyone on the road.

“Just with our interesting approaches that our teenage minds can create, we are able to innovate in ways that aren’t seen before and nd solutions that haven’t been found before and create our own impact,” sophomore Bri Scoville said.

e team competed in the “Samsung Solve For Tomorrow” contest where they became state nalists. Sophomore Siddhi Singh, who started the team, said the Rubber Duckies didn’t think they were going to make it that far because they came into the competition late.

As the team advanced, they won thousands of dollars in Samsung gear to help them with their project. Although they didn’t advance to the national nals, the Colorado team have until next March to continue working on their device.

“I wouldn’t necessarily say that we failed,” freshman Robyn Ballheim said. “Because we don’t really fail until we give up and I think if we keep pursuing this as far as we can, we’re gonna get there eventually.”

Initially, the device was planned to repel wildlife away from cars by emitting a sound with a cost e ective, sustainable and accurate animal detection and driver alert system. rough their research process, the team found that sound didn’t do much to deter animals.

So, the team switched to a driverawareness system. ey programmed a sensor to track motion to trigger a warning light. ey then implemented a more intricate algorithm that clumped speci c temperature data to track animal heat motion with a special camera and calculate if it was getting closer or further from the road.

With arti cial intelligence rapidly progressing, the team used that to their advantage.

“We basically decided to implement a blacklist system,” said Singh. “Whatever it would detect, if it doesn’t match what the IR camera is inputting, it would basically blacklist it so it wouldn’t be caught up by the main camera.”

As the team spoke to di erent sources, many raised doubts. e doubts were centered around real concerns, such as snow or fog obstructing the view of animals, but Dhriti Sinha, a sophomore, said it only pushed the team to look at new perspectives and adapt to changes.

Singh believes a contributing factor to the team’s success was the fact teammates were able to collaborate with one another and were open to pivoting their thinking.

“If you really believe in a problem and you really believe in making a di erence, you have to be willing to adapt,” said Ballheim.

Computer science teacher Tylor Chacon, who sponsors the project, said wildlife-vehicle collisions are hurting both animals and people and it’s a problem that is taken on by governments and large corporations.

“We didn’t realize how big of an issue it was until we got the chance to talk to CDOT,” said Chacon.

CDOT is the Colorado Department of Transportation. Singh learned from CDOT that wildlife-vehicle collisions are a top concern.

In 2022, CDOT’s annual roadkill report recorded 7,338 animal deaths throughout the entire state. In region one, which includes Douglas County, there were 778 reported deaths. And, in Douglas County alone, there were 179 deer hit.

One of CDOT’s environmental managers told the team that these kinds of collisions cost Coloradoans up to $80 million every year.

As the team further developed their device, it looked at Tesla’s open patents that focus on how Teslas detect objects to detect objects.

“With our system, we would essentially identify problem areas in the photo by cross referencing our heat data, the distance data and the object tracking, and using AI to classify it and

With the help of their computer science teacher, four young high schoolers from STEM School Highlands Ranch designed a device to detect wildlife and protect drivers from collisions and became state winners in the Samsung Solve For Tomorrow competition.

if all that data checks out, then we can say there’s an accurate chance that an animal is moving into your eld of view,” said Chacon.

e team strapped all the components of their device onto a remote control car and with permission of the school’s therapy dog, Daisy, put the device to the test. As the device approached Daisy, a sound alerted the driver.

Looking ahead, Scoville said the team would like to use LiDAR – Light Detection and Ranging technology –because it can detect distance as well as a FlIR thermography camera.

Aimed at lessening the burden on the state, the team said the device could be put in vehicles. For current cars, a micro controller connected to the speaker would receive signals transmitted from the camera. For future cars, it would utilize the same algorithm, but use existing car technologies for cost reduction and sustainability.

“Once we can show some accurate results with raw data, we want to start lobbying to see if the government would adopt our technology and maybe even if regulators would require that technology in future cars,” said Chacon.

Video footage from March 18 shows Jones on a bus with a student whom she appears to strike multiple times.

Jones has been red from Littleton Public Schools. Meanwhile, parents in the district recently called for the resignation of Superintendent Todd Lambert during an April meeting of the district’s board of education.

Cosgrove said the district is making changes to its contracts with third-party providers of transportation services to students to try and prevent harm. He added that contractors already face background checks and safety requirements as district provided transportation.

In a statement from the district, spokesperson Paula Hans said the random video checks will allow the district to “promptly identify any issues and ensure strict compliance with safety guidelines.”

For buses that don’t have video surveillance, Hans said district sta will conduct unannounced interviews with students.

A former Littleton Public Schools bus paraprofessional, Kiarra Jones, was arrested and charged with Crimes Against At-Risk Adult/Juvenile - Third Degree Assault.

Our newsroom wants to know what matters to you this election year

BY MEGAN VERLEE AND CCM STAFF

One month ago, newsrooms across the state, including ours, launched an ambitious project: invite the people of Colorado to tell us what they want politicians to talk about in this election, and use their answers to help guide the stories we tell.

So far, more than 3,100 people from around the state have responded to that call and lled out the Voter Voices survey. About 100 of the respondents are readers of Colorado Community Media’s two dozen metro area newspapers.

What should candidates for public o ce focus on this year?

“ eir integrity, work ethic, and vision for our country or the entity they will be representing,” said Mindy Mohr, a reader from Arvada. Mohr listed “democracy and good government” as a top concern, with abortion and the economy/cost of living as important issues as well. e Coloradans who lled out our survey so far make it clear they want politicians to discuss issues like the environment, housing a ordability, immigration, health care and education.

In Walsh, on the southeastern plains, a shortage of health care workers is a driving concern for Rita Hetrick. She runs the long-term care

facility in the town of roughly 540 people. Instead of drawing on a local workforce, she relies on pricey sta ng agencies. “We don’t have a stream of cash that’s just available when you’re a small, rural facility.”

Hetrick told Voter Voices that state and federal regulations exacerbate the problem and it’s something she wants to see politicians tackle.

Many have also written about their concerns for our democracy itself.

“I want candidates to discuss wholesale reform of our country’s and Colorado’s constitution,” wrote Juan Manuel Ramirez Anzures of

Denver. “We need to overhaul them to incorporate reforms like more seats, instant-runo elections, robust publicly nanced elections, and proportional representation.”

We’re also asking how much condence people have in elections, both how they are conducted in Colorado, and around the country. e people responding so far are telling us they have great faith in our state’s election system, but a lot more doubt about whether the election will be conducted fairly nationwide.

e Voter Voices survey is being conducted by 60 newsrooms state-

wide from Fort Collins to Pueblo, Salida and Alamosa and from Sterling and Kiowa to Grand Junction, Durango and Nucla.

As Regan Tuttle, owner and editor of the San Miguel Basin Forum, put it: “My community is very remote and rural. ey tend to feel that nobody listens. I felt the survey would give them a chance to speak and feel heard …”

e project is led by the nonpro t Colorado News Collaborative (COLab) and CPR.

e survey will remain open through this year’s election campaigning, as newsrooms continue to record their communities’ priorities and present what we learn to our readers and listeners.

e goal is not only to respond to what Coloradans statewide and locally say matters to them in our election reporting, but also to challenge candidates to respond directly to voter priorities and concerns.

We invite you not just to ll out the Voter Voices survey, but also to pass it on; share the link with others you know whose opinions we should hear. Colorado Community Media and its two dozen newspapers across the Denver are participating.

Change is an inevitable part of life. From personal growth to professional development, we constantly encounter situations that require us to pivot, adapt and course correct. Whether it’s shifting market trends, evolving technologies or unforeseen challenges, the ability to recognize when change is necessary and adjust our approach accordingly is essential for success.

At the core of this ability lies the human mind’s remarkable capacity to perceive change and understand its implications. Our brains are wired to detect patterns, anticipate shifts and respond to new information. is innate cognitive ability allows us to recognize when our current strategies or approaches are no longer effective and when it’s time to pivot.

VOICES

Adaptation and resetting expectations

embrace change that enables us to adapt and thrive in dynamic environments. Course correction is essential when navigating change. It involves making minor adjustments to our trajectory to stay on course towards our goals. Just as a pilot constantly adjusts the plane’s heading to reach its destination, we must be willing to reassess our approach and make necessary tweaks along the way. is requires humility, selfawareness, and a willingness to learn from our mistakes.

One of the key aspects of navigating change is knowing when to pivot. It requires a willingness to let go of old habits, beliefs or strategies that may no longer serve us. is can be a daunting prospect, as it often involves stepping into the unknown and embracing uncertainty. However, it is precisely this willingness to

Modifying our approach is often necessary when faced with change. What worked in the past may no longer be e ective in the current landscape. erefore, we must be open to experimenting with new strategies, methodologies or techniques to achieve our objectives. is exibility and adaptability are critical for success in today’s rapidly changing world.

However, perhaps the most challenging aspect of navigating change is resetting our expectations. Change often disrupts our preconceived notions, plans or timelines, forcing us to recalibrate our expectations accordingly. is can be a humbling experience, as it requires us to acknowledge that things may not always go as planned and that setbacks and delays are a natural part of the process. Resetting expectations also involves managing our mindset and emotions. It’s easy to feel discouraged or frustrated when faced with unexpected obstacles or setbacks. However, maintaining a positive attitude and focusing on the opportunities that change presents can help us stay resilient and motivated in the face of adversity.

E ective change management requires clear communication and transparency. Leaders must communicate openly with their teams about the reasons for change, the desired outcomes and the steps required to achieve them. is helps build trust, alignment and buy-in among team members, fostering a culture of collaboration and resilience.

Navigating change requires a combination of exibility, adaptability and resilience. It involves recognizing when change is necessary, pivoting as needed, course correcting along the way and modifying our approach as circumstances evolve. It requires resetting our expectations and managing our mindset and emotions e ectively. By embracing change as an opportunity for growth and learning, we can navigate even the most challenging of circumstances with con dence and resilience.

How have any recent changes in your life reshaped the way that you see yourself changing or growing? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can embrace and adapt as needed to the changes around us, it really will be a better than good life.

Castle Rock adds major acreage to open space

The Town of Castle Rock started May with the acquisition of Lost Canyon Ranch. is 680-plusacre property is the newest and largest acquisition and protection of open space in town history.

Preservation of open space is a priority regularly identi ed by residents in the town’s biannual community surveys. When the opportunity arose to purchase one of the last undeveloped large-acreage properties near Castle Rock, the town partnered with Douglas County, Great Outdoors Colorado, e Conservation Fund and Douglas Land Conservancy to secure the land.

Located on the town’s southeastern border, the property is surrounded on the north and west by residential neighborhoods and by large acreage estate lots on the south. e property shares a three-quarter-mile bound-

How Cinderella City shaped the modern mall

BY ELISABETH SLAY

ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

escribed as a “city under a roof” by devoted amateur historian Josh Goldstein, Cinderella City in Englewood was once one of the largest and most innovative shopping malls in the country.

Created by developer Gerri Von Frellick, Cinderella City opened for business in 1968 and was mostly demolished in 1998. Its history, though short and controversial, helped shape the foundation of the modern mall.

“I think it was well known in the

mall and shopping center industry that Cinderella City was more than a mall, and that was seen by a lot of different people, and who knows how that was taken by generations of urban planners and architects and developers,” said Goldstein, who works as an architectural software engineer.

“ ere were a lot of good and bad things from this mall that we should take as lessons.”

The history

Jack Bu ngton, program director for supply chain management at the University of Denver, said the evolution of American shopping malls began after World War II.

“A highway system was built in the United States and people started moving out in the suburbs and then the rst generation of malls came about, which were strip malls,” Buington said.

In the 1970s and 1980s, a timespan during which Cinderella City was operating, the more traditional style of malls came into the picture.

“Instead of being a strip, it was a single facility, typically cornerstoned by a big department store like JCPenney or something like that,” Bu ngton said.

Goldstein said it took eight years to actually open Cinderella City, as it replaced Englewood’s “beloved city park” and many residents didn’t see a need for a massive shopping center.

Once opened, however, in the rst half of its life, Cinderella City, or “New Englewood,” was a bustling enclosed metropolis.

Divided by color into ve sub-malls so it would be easy to navigate, the space was essentially a rainbow of activity and amenities, some unique to the times, including a large event space, grand fountain, hundreds of

retail shops, o ce space, a massive parking deck and more.

“Cinderella City encapsulated the idea that a mall could be more than a shopping center,” Goldstein said. “It was the biggest mall Von Frellick had built and I think for just a little bit it was the biggest mall in the country, possibly the world.”

Goldstein said the project was also very community-focused as it had outposts of the Englewood Police Department, re department and high school and it featured permanent handprints and busts of locals who helped make the project a reality.

“So it did really well and it did make the splash and impact that was intended,” Goldstein said. “It really made it feel like it was for the community by the community.”

Goldstein said by 1974, the mall accounted for 52% of Englewood’s revenue.

“ ere’s a funnel of stores and activity from Broadway into the shopping center and I think this is when it became evident that they may have created a monster,” Goldstein said.

By the 1980s, despite an attempt at saving the structure that had some minor success, Cinderella City would fall into decay and disrepair due to years of maintenance neglect, competitors and changing times.

Goldstein said the event space was changed, the fountain was removed, retailers began to leave, o ce space was left vacant, the massive parking deck crumbled and crime at the mall increased.

“ ey made a monster,” Goldstein said. “ ey made this thing that was so big and it’s great when you rst build it, but then 10 years down the line, where’s the money going to come from to maintain the repair and replace?”

Bu ngton said in the late 1990s and early 2000s, large stores like Walmart started replacing the traditional mall because it was one store that could o er almost everything at lower prices in a singular location.

In 1998, after discussion and redevelopment plans, Cinderella City was mostly demolished, except for the part that became Englewood’s city hall, and eventually transformed into a transit-oriented development.

Goldstein was driving by with his parents and became interested in the history of the project.

“ ey spoke of it so fondly and I couldn’t quite rationalize the discrepancies between what I was seeing outside the window, which was just absolute destruction and sadness and a big empty hulk where you could see into its innards, and then what they were telling me how amazing, and colorful and fun and enjoyable the mall was in the 1970s,” Goldstein said.

It was Cinderella City that actually inspired Goldstein to go into the architectural software industry.

In 2024, nearly 26 years after its demise, the only structure left standing from Cinderella City is the three-story Englewood Civic Center.

Goldstein said this building was a department store attached to the once massive mall.

‘Paradoxically behind the times’

“(Cinderella City) was ahead of its time and it did do good things for the community, but it also in other ways was paradoxically behind the times and did bad things for the community,” Goldstein said.

It cost millions of dollars for the city to demolish the mall and over the years, the area has seen redevelopment but not at the scale of Cinderella City during its heyday, Goldstein said.

“At the time local governments didn’t really know how to handle this, but I think the City of Englewood was faced with a pretty unprecedented situation,” Goldstein said.

Cinderella City was one of the rst

“I think it was a precursor to a lot of other malls that have since fallen,” Goldstein said.

He said Cinderella City wasn’t a sustainable project. It was shaped like an M and had many levels so it could properly t on its property. However, Goldstein said this was an issue for long-term evolution.

“To some degree, Cinderella City wasn’t going to redesign itself out of its own problems because it was inherently a problematic layout and design,” he said.

However, Goldstein said, some aspects of the mall were positive and innovative measures that are seen in modern trends.

e biggest feature was Cinderella City’s Cinder Alley, which was a connection of pathways to various small shops where up-and-coming artists or crafters could sell their goods.

“I think the mixed-use part of it and the community-oriented part of it and the hyper-local part of it are good lessons to take away,” he said. “I am unsurprised that that is a trend and probably always will be a trend, and Cinderella City just happened to get there rst.”

ese days, Bu ngton said malls are all about experience and how to engage consumers.

“If we talk about today, malls are becoming these multipurpose experiential models where there is more of a community,” Bu ngton said.

He explained a big factor into the future of what a mall-type facility looks like now is commercial real estate.

ere are di erent types of real estate including o ce, retail and

industrial, said Bu ngton, who explained that numbers are down for these separately.

“So what a lot of these commercial real estate developers are trying to do is to try to manage these vacancies to make things multipurpose,” Bu ngton said.

Continued impact

Goldstein spent years researching the Cinderella City project and for the last few years has worked to create an immersive digital exhibit featuring the project, which will be in the Englewood Historic Preservation Society’s new museum.  e exhibit will feature a simulation Goldstein has created to pay homage to the project that inspired his career and passion.

“ e simulation is Cinderella City in two di erent eras,” he said. “So, Cinderella City as it appeared in 1968 and the other time period is 1988… You can time travel and you can see what that very same spot looks like 20 years in the future.”

Goldstein said he really wanted to feature the two lives of Cinderella City in both the simulation and the museum exhibit.

As of press deadlines, the museum was slated for a soft opening on May 4.

“(It’s) the life it lived after it was built and the life it lived shortly before it died,” Goldstein said of his simulation.

Bu ngton said technology will inuence how future versions of malls will look for customers.

“ e new model has to be experiential,” Bu ngton said. “It really comes down to innovation.”

e property was owned by the estate of the former owner, who passed away several years ago. ere had been purchase o ers by private developers that would have compromised the conservation values, wildlife habitat and corridors, as well as public bene ts by changing the land use of the prop-

erty. With this acquisition, as with recent others like Metzler Family Open Space, Cantril School and Emerald Park, land that could have been developed has instead been preserved.

e total cost for Lost Canyon Ranch Open Space was $15,009,432. Douglas County provided $5.5 million from the Open Space, Parks and Historic Resources sales and use tax — which voters extended with a nearly 80% approval rate in 2022 — toward

the purchase. GOCO provided the town with a $3 million Centennial Program award toward the purchase, making it the largest funding amount from GOCO for any project in town history. e Conservation Fund negotiated the purchase on the town’s behalf and contributed $200,000 toward the acquisition. e Lost Canyon Ranch Open Space conservation easement, which serves to protect the land from development for perpetuity, is held by the Douglas

Land Conservancy.

e town will soon invite public participation in a master planning process to help inform future public access to the open space, including trails and other amenities. Learn more about Lost Canyon Ranch Open Space and sign up for updates at CRgov.com/LostCanyonRanch.

elected Republicans are abandoning their conservative values. Traditional conservative policies such small government, little regulation, low taxation, strong defense, family values, sexual morality and good character have been replaced by slavish loyalty to Donald Trump. e Republican Party is not going to return to its conservative roots without a resounding defeat to those Republicans who make loyalty to a man more important than loyalty to principles. If you are a true conservative Republican, you can send that message by voting for Trisha Calvarese.

TOWN OF CASTLE ROCK

PUBLIC HEARING

& PUBLIC COMMENT REVIEW PERIOD

DRAFT PY 2024 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM

NOTICE IS GIVEN that the draft Program Year (PY) 2024 Annual Action Plan (AAP) for the use of Federal U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) funds for Town of Castle Rock will be presented at a public hearing. Notice is also given that the draft AAP will be available for a thirty (30) day public comment and review period.

The draft PY 2024 AAP is for the fourth program year of the Consolidated Plan, which begins October 1, 2024 and ends September 30, 2025.

Draft 2024 AAP

The draft 2024 AAP outlines proposed projects and activities by the Town’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to address identified needs in the Consolidated Plan. Activities funded by CDBG are intended to benefit low- to moderate-income households and special needs groups such as the elderly and persons with a disability.

At this time HUD has not announced the PY 2024 CDBG allocation. Based on the prior PY CDBG allocation, the Town expects to receive an estimated $255,712 in CDBG funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for PY 2024. The estimated proposed apportionment of funding for PY 2024 is:

Administration (20%): $51,141

Public Services (15%): $38,356

Public Facilities and Infrastructure (65%): $166,215

The above apportionment is only an estimate of the anticipated PY 2024 CDBG allocation. The Town has a contingency provision, as per guidance from HUD notice CDP-24-01 to update the AAP with the actual apportionment amounts once the allocation is announced by HUD. The Town’s final apportionment towards activities in the AAP will be proportionally increased or decreased from the estimated funding levels to match the actual allocation amounts, with adjustments to ensure compliance with CDBG grant regulations related to the maximum cap set for Administration and Public Services.

PUBLIC HEARING: The Town will hold a public hearing to review and discuss the draft 2024 AAP. The public hearing will be held on May 28, 2024 at 4:30 PM at Town Hall, 100 N Wilcox Street, Castle Rock, CO 80104 in Council Chambers. This meeting is open to the public and all persons are welcome.

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: Citizens can review and make comments on the draft 2024 AAP.

The draft will be available for a public comment review period of (30) thirty days, running from May 29, 2024 to June 28, 2024. The proposed 2024 AAP will be available for review and download on the Town webpage: https://crgov.com/CDBG. Hard copies of the draft 2024 AAP will also be available for review at Town Hall, located at 100 N. Wilcox St, Castle Rock, CO 80104 and at the Philip and Jerry Miller Library, located at 100 S. Wilcox St, Castle Rock, CO 80104. Public comments are encouraged and may be sent in writing to the Town of Castle Rock CDBG Program, 100 N. Wilcox St., Castle Rock, CO 80104 or via e-mail to BBland@crgov.com.

Accessibility: In accordance with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and all federal regulations, the Town will provide reasonable accommodations to ensure that all residents have access to public hearings and all publications.

With at least two business days of advanced notice, translators will be provided at public meet-

ings. Translation services will also be provided for persons who may need assistance reviewing printed documents, reports and/or other related materials. Citizens may contact the Town of Castle Rock at 720-733-3552 at least two business days in advance to request such services.

All Town CDBG program related plans will be placed in the Philip and Jerry Miller Library. The library has reader magnification devices to aid persons who are visually impaired. Proposed plans are also placed on the Town’s website at www.CRgov.com/cdbg. All visual aids used in the Town Council Chambers are displayed on large screens to help all sighted people to see them better.
