Englewood looks to create community forestry program Concern centers on ash trees threatened by beetles BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

of homelessness as short as possible,” said Mike Sandgren, a task force leader who heads Change the Trend, a regional network of nonprofits, churches, schools and agencies working on homelessness solutions. By connecting those who are unhoused with a social safety net, task force leaders hope to address the root causes of homelessness while making it easier for people to exit that life.

For Englewood Open Space Manager Dave Lee, the arrival of an infamous tree-killing beetle in the city is a certainty. “This is something that’s been on the horizon for a while now,” Lee said. “It’s not if, it’s when.” The emerald ash borer, first identified in Colorado in Boulder County in 2013, is a destructive, non-native insect that infests, and ultimately kills, ash trees. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the beetle is responsible for killing tens of millions of ash trees in 30 states. With the beetles’ continued spread throughout the Front Range, the City of Englewood is preparing to launch a new community forestry program to provide subsidies to homeowners looking to treat or remove the trees. Ash trees make up about 15% to 20% of Colorado’s urban forests, according to the Colorado Department of Agriculture, with about 22,600 in Englewood. Though the beetle has not yet been identified in the city, it was last reported less than 20 miles away, in Arvada, in June 2020.

Metro cities propose a ‘navigation center’ to address homelessness But what does that mean? BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With homelessness on the rise throughout the Denver metro area, a task force made up of the cities of Littleton, Englewood and Sheridan, along with local and regional nonprofits, are forging ahead on solutions outlined in a

2021 action plan to mitigate an ever-present crisis. Among the laundry list of items: the creation of a physical space to centralize services and resources for people who are unhoused, which the cities have dubbed a “navigation center.” “The navigation center would be kind of a one-stop shop that’s actually meeting people on the street and bridging some of the gaps, sending them off to the services that are going to be right for them and making their experience

Dozens of Parker residents gathered at O’Brien Park March 1 to pray for Ukraine after COURTESY OF TODD HENDREKS it was invaded by Russia in February.

CU pulls investments from Russian companies Governor urges state colleges, universities to divest BY ERICA BREUNLIN THE COLORADO SUN

The University of Colorado is severing ties with publicly traded Russian companies, pulling money invested by the university’s foundation and treasury pool as an act of support for Ukraine following Russia’s invasion. The value of the investments are “negligible overall,” according to a media release from the university. “We are looking for ways to show our support for the people of Ukraine and believe that cutting our investments is the right thing to do,” CU President Todd Saliman said in a statement. Saliman was previously the university’s chief financial officer. The university’s move to divest from Russian companies comes as Gov. Jared Polis urges the state’s higher education institutions to break away from Russian stateowned assets. On Tuesday, Polis sent a letter to colleges and universities asking them to “completely divest your endowment of any Russian-owned assets,” “terminate all contracts with the Russian-government,” and “terminate all grants in which the Russian-government or Russian institutions of higher education are the primary beneficiary.” Recommended Colorado’s former governor resigns from board of Russian bank Polis wrote that he hopes those sanctions can be “short-lived” and will put more pressure on Russia to end the war it started with Ukraine. “We will stand on the side of freedom and proudly support a democratic and independent Ukraine,” Polis wrote. “War, violence, and chaos threaten the very foundations of the global economy and our national security. Colorado will not turn its head. We will take affirmative actions to support Ukranians and hold Russia accountable.” Fund managers for the CU Foundation are working to sell investments. Holdings in publicly traded Russian companies represent less than 0.1% of the foundation’s $2.6 billion long-term investment pool,

or less than $2.6 million, according to the media release from the university. Additionally, the university is invested in mutual funds that have equity holdings in Russia. The amount invested totals about $3.5 million as of the most recent valuation, which equals less than 0.25% of the university’s assets. “The university has requested that the mutual funds exit these holdings as early as allowable,” the release stated. Jack Kroll, chairman of CU’s Board of Regents, called the measures “small but important steps.” The Colorado Department of Higher Education is not aware of any other state colleges or universities holding investments in Russian state-owned assets. Executive Director Angie Paccione reached out to presidents and CEOs of public institutions Thursday to ask if they had any financial connections to Russian entities. “There’s nothing active that we know of at this time,” said CDHE spokesperson Megan McDermott, adding that CDHE also asked institutions if they are conducting any research projects with Russia and were informed that there are none. The state’s pension system, the Public Employees’ Retirement Association, has also divested $7.2 million from a Russian bank that was sanctioned by the U.S. government last week. Polis is pushing the PERA Trust Fund to completely divest from all Russian state-owned institutions, according to a media release from the governor’s office. PERA’s portfolio is valued at about $61 billion. That divestment falls as former Colorado Gov. Bill Owens recently resigned from the supervisory board of one of Russia’s largest banks, the Credit Bank of Moscow. “Ukraine is a free and independent nation which was brutally attacked in an unprovoked way by Russia,” Owens told The Colorado Sun last week. “I believe the U.S. and our allies should stand for Ukraine, as they stand for us all.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Council restores funding to immigrant resources center 5-2 vote is inverse of decision to defund facility just months ago BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton’s City Council, in a push led by newer councilmembers, voted 5-2 March 1 to fully restore funding for the Littleton Immigrant Resource Center (LIRC) just months after a previous council voted to defund it. But even after the restored funding was approved, the vote faced defiance from District 2 Councilmember Jerry Valdes, who attempted to reverse that decision through a motion that was ultimately deemed improper by the city attorney. The LIRC’s full $196,000 in funding was part of a litany of other amendments to the 2022 budget for the city’s general fund, which council ultimately voted to increase by over $1.3 million after strong tax revenues brought in an excess of $2.4 million. The move to fully fund the center came after a previous council meeting on Jan. 25 when councilmembers debated the LIRC’s future, with a majority ultimately landing on a compromise to partially restore the center’s funding to the tune of $105,000 for the year. But on March 1, Mayor Pro Tem Gretchen Rydin, who during the

last city-wide election campaigned on reviving the center, pushed an amendment to increase the LIRC’s funds by an additional $91,286 in order to restore it to pre-pandemiclevel operations. “It was ... a passing statement that these services could be found elsewhere,” said District 3 Councilmember Stephen Barr, who in late January had supported only partial funding before voting to fully fund the LIRC March 1. “But digging further into this, our LIRC offers quite a unique set of legal services that other nonprofits in the area do not. It is a matter of pride.”

Barr joined Rydin as well as Mayor Kyle Schlachter, District 4 Councilmember Kelly Milliman and Councilmember At-Large Pam Grove in voting to restore the center’s full funding. District 2 Councilmember Jerry Valdes and District 1 Councilmember Pat Driscoll voted against funding. Milliman, who sat on the previous council and was just one of two votes at the time in support of keeping the center’s funding, said the LIRC was “intricately woven into our community.” “It’s a part of the story of our community, and I don’t want to lose that,” Milliman said. “And in the grand scheme of our budget it provides so much more pride, benefit and it’s just a good thing for our community.” Founded in 2005 and housed in Bemis Library, the highly acclaimed Littleton Immigrant Resources Center has a storied past of helping hundreds of documented immigrants take the final step toward U.S. citizenship by offering low-cost civics and English lessons, test preparation and legal aid. In 2010 it was recognized by Harvard’s Bright Ideas, which spotlights innovative government programs. U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, after visiting the center in 2013, cited it as a model for immigrant assistance provisions in a bipartisan immigration reform bill. Though it had been supported by a $250,000 biannual federal grant, it lost that money in 2018 under the Trump administration and had since been solely funded by the City of Littleton’s general fund. The city’s overall general fund adds up to roughly $50 million annually. But as Littleton weathered the economic fallout of COVID-19, staff deemed the LIRC a lower priority service for funding, ultimately leading a previous council to decide 5-2 to defund it in September. That decision sparked outcry among some community members, with 12 former Littleton mayors and councilmembers sending a letter to council praising the center and urging continued funding. “I was one of the people on the last council that did not support this program mainly because of the dire situation we were in,” Grove

said. “Since, I’ve done a little bit of talking to people and finding out more about this ... this makes a big impact to maybe a smaller number of people, maybe not everybody is a Littleotn citizen, but it shows who our community is.” Driscoll, who had voted to defund the center during the previous council, said March 1 that he stood by his decision to defund since the center was never “voter approved.” “We’re spending their money to fund this program and that’s where it comes down to me as a matter of principle,” he said. Following the vote to restore funding, Valdes pushed a motion that would have essentially negated that vote and cut LIRC funding completely. He called to remove “whatever that dollar amount is” to which city staff told Valdes “you have to have an amount.” While city staff appeared to peer through reports in order to find the total funding sum to fill in Valdes’ motion, Shlachter asked City Attorney Reid Betzing if Valdes’ amendment was proper. Since the original budget amendment to fully fund the LIRC had already passed, Betzing said Valdes’ motion was improper. Still, Valdes continued to push the motion and used his time to accuse the current council of being “known as a tax and spend council” that would lose the trust of the city’s voters for a “disingenuous act” like funding the LIRC. Valdes also implied that councilmembers who originally supported defunding the center should stand by their decision and said that, along with Grove, Schlachter, who had previously sat on council from 2017 to 2019, had also supported ceasing funding for the LIRC. Schlachter denied this and Grove said in response, “I kind of take umbrage about the fact that we can’t listen and change our minds like we all have done before when we hear different information or the environment has changed.” She said it is not uncommon for councilmembers to change their stance from their past votes and said did not “appreciate being chastised” by Valdes’ motion. “Just for the record Councilmember Grove, I wasn’t chastising you,” Valdes said.

But fundraising efforts, while in the early stages, remain elusive and task force leaders have not disclosed how much they believe the center could cost to operate. And with some community tension around homelessness, the plan could face an uneven road to reality. What could it look like? According to the tri-cities’ action plan, the navigation center would provide “temporary room and board with limited barriers to entry, showers, restroom, and laundry services, while case managers work to connect homeless individuals and families to income, public benefits, health services, permanent housing or other shelter.” For Sandgren, the center represents the social and physical infrastructure needed to address homelessness in a more holistic and multi-faceted way. By bringing together a host of providers for services that could include healthcare, job training, food assistance, addiction recovery and more, the path out of homelessness will become easier, Sandgren said. “The spirit of the plan is a little bit more long-term solutions oriented,” he said. Sandgren said some initial SEE HOMELESS, P6

providers could include AllHealth Network, a Littleton-based nonprofit mental health provider, 180Ministry, a substance abuse treatment program with a location in Englewood, and Bridge House, a nonprofit with an Aurora location that can provide job training. He also said he hopes to have some temporary shelter in the space. Based on the center’s size it could accommodate 15 t0 20 beds, with possible room for more. But drawing the line between center and shelter is important, Sandgren said. “What you don’t want to do is just stand up an emergency shelter and say ‘we solved homelessness’ because that’s not necessarily creating the system to move people beyond the experience of homelessness,” he said. There are no short-term, emergency, overnight shelters in Arapahoe County, and the task force’s action plan does not call for one. This comes amid a backdrop of homeless deaths, with data showing that from January 2020 to January 2021, 17 people experiencing homelessness in the county died on the street from natural causes, 22 died by drug overdose and four died by hypothermia. Paula McFadden, who spoke during an October forum in Littleton about her experience being homeless, said she would like to see a shelter somewhere in the region. “I think the issue at hand would be a day center where people could go and feel safe while then the next layer of that is trying to find housing,” she said, adding that the colder months make the outdoors especially difficult. “I think a day center is the best place to go.” Still, regional leaders are steadfast in their belief that a navigation center will provide more benefits than a shelter. “The goal of a navigation center is not just to provide one meal, one one-night stay,” said Carrie Warren-Gully, commissioner for Arapahoe County’s District 1. “It’s really designed to help people who are experiencing homelessness get out of homelessness.”

The navigation center is not intended to be a substitute for a shelter, said Devin Granbery, Sheridan’s city manager, who added he hopes to see some form of a shelter alongside the center in the future. “The answer is housing, the answer is putting a roof over somebody’s head,” he said. But building anything related to homelessness, even if it is not a shelter, may stir some unease among some residents. “We’ve heard ‘if you build it, they will come’ a number of times,” said Samma Fox, Littleton’s assistant to the city manager. “But (the homeless) already here, and we’re really working with our partners to provide resources consistently. The reality is we do have homeless populations in our community.” In Littleton, more and more residents and business owners are calling the police on people they perceive to be homeless, according to Police Chief Doug Stephens, even though few calls have to do with any crime. “They aren’t comfortable seeing someone who is homeless,” Stephens said. “They may think something’s suspicious, but it’s not criminal.” Englewood Police Sgt. Reid McGrath said last year his department received 1,362 homelessrelated calls, the vast majority of which had to do with seeing “unwanted homeless people.” While Sandgren said he acknowledges the concerns, he believes the time to act on homelessness is now. “All of those tensions are legitimate,” he said. “But it’s also not necessarily a reason to not do anything, because there is an issue and we need to respond.” Sandgren said he wants to “stand something up as soon as possible” but said a permanent space for a navigation center “could be a few years down the road.” According to the action plan, Englewood is reviewing cityowned sites that could possibly house a navigation center, but officials have said nothing has been decided. “The space is a big question,” Granbery said. “I don’t think that we’ve really narrowed it down.” In the meantime, Sandgren envisions a more mobile version of

the center akin to how Change the Trend operates with a network of providers meeting people where they are, be it on the street or at a community center to connect them with resources. Why is it needed? Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, homelessness in the tri-cities area, and the Denver region at large, has been on the rise, fueled in part by skyrocketing housing prices and lagging wages. A 2021 study by the Metro Denver Homelessness Initiative found the number of unhoused people in the Denver metro area climbed by 15% between 2018 and 2020. From July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, more than 32,000 people were designated as homeless in the metro region, according to another study by the initiative. But getting an exact number on homelessness is challenging, researchers say. A more effective method is finding the reasons driving homelessness. This was the mission for two student researchers at the University of Denver who, in 2019, embarked on a two-year study to understand the causes of homelessness in the tri-cities area and that work helped shape the region’s action plan. “The heart of this project is that there’s all this stigma associated with homelessness (and) we wanted to humanize homelessness,” said fourth-year DU graduate student Andres Pulido who, along with third-year graduate student Zach Marshall, led the 2019 effort. The study found the top five reasons why individuals reported

being homeless were all economic. Of 121 people surveyed, 51% said they lost a job, 43% were unable to pay rent, 43% had a change in employment, 35% had an unaffordable expense and 34% sited rising housing costs. Other reasons included relationship issues, mental health issues, the loss of a loved one, eviction and disability. For families who were homeless, the findings were similar. Of 49 people surveyed from homeless families, 61% said they were unable to pay rent, 57% reported a change in employment, 47% reported losing a job, 45% cited housing cost increases and 45% cited other unaffordable expenses. Other reasons also included relationship and mental health issues as well as credit scores and illnesses. The findings show the need for a change in public perception of who is homeless, said Daniel Brisson, director for DU’s Center for Housing and Homelessness Research. “One of the main things we need to do to address homelessness is changing the public’s perception of what homelessness is,” Brisson said. “Moving from a 1970s view of the vagrant single male to the 2020s reality of the single working mom or dad or young person struggling with a crisis and finding themselves in an insecure housing situation.” And today’s wages are not enough for some people to get by. “Fifteen dollars an hour for 40 SEE HOMELESS, P6

hours a week doesn’t pay your rent and get you food,” Brisson said. The study also explored where people who are homeless stay. Of 121 homeless individuals surveyed, 100 reported living on the streets at some point over the last two years, with 41 saying they spent the prior night on the street. For families who were homeless, more reported living doubled up in other people’s homes as well as in hotels and motels, emergency shelters and cars. Living on the streets or in tents was one of the least reported places, highlighting what researchers call invisible homelessness. Another narrative the study sought to investigate was the perception that homelessness in the tri-cities area is a direct result of a growing crisis in the City of Denver. While Colorado’s capital has seen growth in homeless numbers, the researchers said many who are homeless in Littleton, Englewood and Sheridan are from the area. “Who experiences homelessness in our community is our community members,” Marshall said, adding that many have lived in the cities “for years.” Sandgren agreed. “A lot of the same dynamics that are contributing to homelessness in Denver are present in our community,” he said. “I know multiple

people who are on the streets right now who grew up in Englewood, went through the school system, and are now on the streets of Englewood.” What comes next? Sandgren has said the task force is in the beginning of fundraising mode. But so far the dollar amounts are murky and city officials have been mum on the center’s projected cost. The action plan calls for $25,000 for a “pre-development feasibility study” which Fox, the Littleton assistant to the city manager, said was intended to evaluate the needs the center would have to meet. But Fox would not say how much a navigation center, with staff and physical space, could cost to operate and she added that the task force is just in its first months of initiating its proposals, with the navigation center being a “year two” focus. Overall, the action plan calls for $705,000 over three years to make good on a variety of proposed solutions that, along with the navigation center, include pursuing affordable housing initiatives such as vouchers and staffing a “response team” to help people understand the bureaucratic process of obtaining driver’s licenses and birth certificates. And recently, Arapahoe County and the tri-cities approved a contract for a homelessness coordinator who will be paid $110,000 per year, a cost that will be shared between the three cities. City

officials said this person will be tasked with overseeing the implementation of the tri-cities’ action plan, including shoring up funding for the navigation center. While a cost estimate for the navigation center is non-existent, at least publicly, Sandgren said he hopes $150,000 can be secured to hire a full-time director and assistant. From there, the center could tap existing nonprofits and local governments for part-time or volunteer staff. City officials said government money alone won’t be enough to sustain the center in the long term and they will need to rely on nonprofits stepping in to secure grants where they can. “We really do realize that for this to be long term there has to be a philanthropic part to it,” said Tim Dodd, Englewood’s assistant to the city manager. Much of the private fundraising is being spearheaded by the South Metro Community Foundation, chaired by former Littleton Mayor Susan Thornton, who said she is currently in talks with local foundations to secure grants but would not elaborate. The most concrete funding yet has come from Arapahoe County, which in late January awarded South Metro $10,000 through its Aid to Agencies grant program to go toward the navigation center. Warren-Gully, the county commissioner, said while that $10,000 was specifically for the center, a total of $1.8 million was awarded by the county to other nonprofits that may play some future role in

the center’s services. The county has said it could provide $300,000 toward the navigation center with money from the federal American Rescue Plan Act, a $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill enacted in March of last year. But that is dependent on how much money Littleton, Englewood and Sheridan can also find. “The county will only provide the partial funds once the entity in question secures the rest of the amount needed, so it’s essentially a conditional pledge,” said Luc Hatlestad, Arapahoe County spokesperson. To city and county officials’ knowledge, a navigation center would be the first of its kind for the region, marking a test for what the best solutions will be for reducing homeless numbers in the tri-cities area and even beyond. For Marshall and Pulido, the two DU student researchers, a navigation center is the “right kind of model.” “There’s been a big disconnect between the number of people experiencing homelessness in the community and the people utilizing the resources available. There’s many more who could potentially be using those services,” Marshall said. “I have not seen many models like this before,” he continued. “This is a really personable approach, and I think there are so many benefits to that.” Colorado Community Media reporter Ellis Arnold contributed to this article.

Littleton’s Harley-Davidson closes after 43 years Family-owned dealership leaves a legacy of community BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For store owner Kathy Yevoli, Rocky Mountain Harley-Davidson was more than just a dealership. “We really did establish a way of life for our customers, and our staff and our community,” Yevoli said. “It wasn’t about how many motorcycles we sold.” Now, Yevoli is reflecting on her time running the Littleton business, which closed its doors for good on Saturday, Feb. 26 after 43 years in business. “It’s sad that we had to close the store, not of our choosing,” Yevoli said. The store, which was Colorado’s longest family-run dealership for the iconic motorcycles, joins others like it across the country that have closed as a result of corporate consolidation by the Harley-Davidson company. “The small, independent stores are being absorbed,” Yevoli said, who broke the news in a Facebook post on Feb. 22 saying, “This isn’t what we envisioned for our staff, our family or the future of Rocky Mountain Harley-Davidson, but we will respectfully take a bow.” The post was met with an out-

pour of support and disappointment, with hundreds of comments from people who said they were “stunned” and “sad” at having to say goodbye to a “great crew.” “This is my home store, the only place I felt like I was a person and not a potential sale, where the staff was so friendly they answered every question I ever asked no matter how dumb it was,” said commentor, Rick Archuleta, who called the store the

Dear Davis Schilken, I just recently proposed to my girlfriend (now fiancée) and now her parents insist the two of us sign a prenup before we get married. How can I appease my in-laws while still protecting my rights? Sincerely, Perplexed by a Prenup Dear Perplexed by a Prenup, First off, let us congratulate your fiancée and you on your pending marriage. We hope your wedding day is as amazing as your life together will be!! Now, let’s get down to the business of nuptial agreements, which can either be done prior to or after marriage. Marital agreements, both prenuptial and postnuptial, are a written contract executed between a couple to specify what will happen to the couple’s assets in the event of divorce or death. Even if you build a happy, healthy marriage, one spouse will likely outlive the other. Marital agreements can give partners peace of mind about the financial future. When you’re about to get married, divorce is the last thing on your mind. However, the reality is that between 40 and 50 percent of first marriages end in divorce. If you bring significant assets to your marriage or if your fiancée has significant debts, a pre-nuptial agreement is an important way to protect yourself financially. The attorneys at Davis Schilken, PC can draft a prenuptial agreement that details the assets and debts of both parties to be married and explain how property will be divided and support handled in the event of death or divorce. The agreement can encompass children’s and grandparents’ rights, if desired. There are a few requirements that a nuptial agreement must meet before it becomes valid. These include the following conditions • The nuptial agreement must be written, signed, and notarized. • The agreement must include valid disclosure of assets and financial obligations between both parties. • Threats, force, or emotional duress must not have influenced the creation of the agreement. • Terms of the agreement must not appear unethical or lacking fairness. If nuptial agreements aren’t drafted correctly, they may do nothing but complicate things further. Unfortunately, just because you have created an agreement in writing doesn’t mean that it is presumed to be valid or enforceable. Therefore, it’s crucial that you have a nuptial agreement reviewed by a qualified lawyer to ensure everything is executed properly. Contact our offices for valuable advice on all matters relating to a nuptial agreement. Call today at (303) 670-9855 or visit our comprehensive website online at www.dslawcolorado.com for resources, videos, and more.

best Harley-Davidson dealership in town. Operating since 1979, the dealership, located at 2885 W County Line Rd in Littleton, left a mark on the community and beyond through its role with fundraisers and events. It’s original owner, Vincent Terranova, began the annual Children’s Hospital Toy Run 36 years ago, bringing thousands of motorcyclists together for the drive. Yevoli, who was married to Terranova, joined him in running the store in the 1980s and took over as its main owner in 2015. The two have since divorced but Yevoli’s daughter, Marina, has worked at the dealership since she was 13 and most recently served as its marketing manager. Yevoli said the dealership has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the hospital, as well as more than $350,000 through an annual golf tournament, with money being donated to various Coloradobased charities. For her, the support is a testament to the heart of the motorcycle community. ”They may look like big bad guys and girls … but they’re really one of the most generous groups that you’ll ever find,” she said. Marina, Yevoli’s daughter, said the dealership has been like family. “Most of my staff members and customers were at my wedding,” she said adding that working there has helped her forge connections and relationship to many in Littleton and the greater community.

The week the dealership announced it was closing was an intense and emotional one, Yevoli said, with customers “flooding the store” beginning the day after the online post. When the store’s last customers left around 3 p.m. that Saturday, Yevoli said it was the first time her roughly 20 employees were able to absorb what had happened. “We wanted to gather as a group to spend a couple of hours talking about our own good times … it’s been a very emotional and exhausting time,” she said. One of the store’s last customers that day, Pat Dunahay, said he bought the “last bike that company will ever sell.” A Harley lover since he was 19, Dunahay, who is co-president of the Littleton Business Chamber, supported Yevoli’s store for decades and called her and Terranova “fabulous business people and extremely honest individuals.” “It’s a terrible hit to the community, as far as I’m concerned,” Dunahay said of the store’s closing. While Yevoli said she did not want to see the business come to a close, seeing messages of support and celebration for the store, some which came from across the country, reminded her of the legacy she can be proud of. “It was overwhelming … it was one of those moments that validated our existence,” she said. “I will never be able to express how thankful we are and how full of gratitude we are for our customers and our community.”

Election workers could get new protections against threats, doxxing Colorado House Bill 1273 would make it a crime to threaten an election worker BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Threatening a Colorado election worker in an attempt to keep them from doing their job or in response to them performing their official duties would be a crime under a bill introduced by Democrats in the state legislature. House Bill 1273 would also prohibit people from publicly posting the personal information — such as their address, telephone number or photo — of an election official or their immediate family if doing so poses an imminent and serious safety threat. “The reality is we do have to have this conversation, given what’s been happening in the country over the last couple of years,” said Senate President Steve Fenberg, a Boulder Democrat and prime sponsor of the bill. “I think it’s important to be extra clear that we do have additional protections for people who work to make sure our democracy functions.” The bill comes amid a yearslong effort by the legislature to create new protections for government workers, be they elected officials or those in public health, against threats and doxxing. It also comes during a push by state lawmakers this year to provide more security for Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat who has been the target of death threats stemming from conspiracy theories about the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. In fact, secretaries of state and election workers across the U.S. have faced a sharp increase in threats following the last presidential election. The General Assembly already approved money to let Griswold hire private security guards and monitor threats in the coming months, and now lawmakers are slated to pass Senate Bill 133, a bipartisan measure that would cost about $800,000 and direct the Colorado State Patrol to offer security services to the secretary of state, state treasurer and the attorney general similar to the protection they already offer state lawmakers. “The intentional spread of election conspiracies has fueled unprecedented violent threats toward election officials, which show no signs of stopping,” said Annie Orloff, a spokeswoman for Griswold. “These threats are not ‘business as usual’ and serving in elected office should not require signing up for threats of violence without support.” Orloff sent The Colorado Sun screenshots of recent social media threats leveled against Griswold, including ones calling for her to be hanged or shot for treason.

During a recent Colorado gathering of a far-right group that embraces conspiracies about the 2020 election, one speaker said that “if you’re involved in election fraud, then you deserve to hang.” There is no proof of fraud in the 2020 presidential election that would have overturned the results. President Joe Biden won the presidential contest in Colorado, as well as nationally. ‘Current statutes are narrow’ State Rep. Emily Sirota, a Denver Democrat who is also a prime sponsor of House Bill 1273, said the current threat environment is exactly why her bill is necessary. “I think it’s critical that all those involved in elections can do their jobs without fearing for their safety,” she said. She said her bill, which is supported by the Colorado Municipal League, would create a “clear path forward for prosecutors seeking to prosecute these types of threats,” and thus make the pursuit of criminal charges more likely. “Senate Minority Leader Chris Holbert, R-Douglas County, said he agrees with the spirit of House Bill 1273, but wonders if it’s needed. Colorado already has laws against threatening or intimidating people and elected officials. “It may be a bit of a statement bill,” he said, “but I agree that elected officials shouldn’t be threatened.” Sirota points out that her bill would protect unelected election workers and judges in addition to elected election officials. And she says the measure would provide broader protections for election workers. “While it is already a crime to threaten violence against people in general … current statutes are narrow,” she said. The Colorado County Clerks Association is seeking amendments to House Bill 1273. Its leader, Matt Crane, did not respond to messages seeking comment. House Bill 1273, whose prime sponsors also include Democratic Rep. Monica Duran and Democratic Sen. Brittany Pettersen, would make threatening an election worker a Class 2 misdemeanor punishable by up to 120 days in jail and/or up to a $750 fine. Doxxing an election worker by publicly posting their personal information would be a Class 1 misdemeanor, with a penalty of up to 364 days in jail. The measure would include a presumption that disseminating the personal information of an election official or their immediate family constitutes an imminent and serious safety threat if a federal, state or local law enforcement agency has issued a safety warning that applies to the election official. Last month, for instance, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a threat alert warning that “domestic violent extremists” have continued to spread false or misleading narratives about unsubstantiated election fraud.

Adams County Election Judge Douglas Cuillard runs incoming envelopes through an automated sorting machine Nov. 1, 2018. The machine slices open ballot envelopes with their addresses hidden, letting Cuillard or other judges remove the ballots in their security sleeves. They were taken to another judge, where they were removed from their sleeves and were FILE PHOTO prepared for counting.

Other election-related bills at the Capitol A number of other election-related bills are being considered by the leg this year. Fenberg plans to introduce legislation in the coming days that would set clear boundaries for people who administer elections in Colorado and enact criminal penalties, perhaps even felony ones, for people who “threaten the integrity of our elections or potentially manipulate the elections.” It would also require election officials to undergo training on misinformation and disinformation. The measure appears aimed at responding to the situation surrounding Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, a Republican who has spread baseless conspiracies about the 2020 presidential election result and is being investigated for alleged being behind a security breach of her county’s election system. “It’s about making sure that folks who want to serve as a designated election official follow some basic criteria and basic standards,” Fenberg said. State Rep. Ron Hanks, a Fremont County Republican running for U.S. Senate this year, unsuccessfully pushed House Bill 1085, which would have required that Colorado elections be administered through paper ballots with ballot fraud countermeasures, such as optically variable ink, holographic images and embedded/stealth numbering. Hanks, who has embraced baseless claims about the 2020 presidential election being stolen, is also a prime sponsor of House Bill 1204, which would roll back Colorado’s mail-in ballot system, require that ballots be hand counted and require that voters have a state-issued ID to vote. The measure hasn’t been scheduled for a hearing but it’s certain to fail in the Democraticcontrolled legislature.

FORESTRY FROM PAGE 1

Lee said the city is preparing to approve about $30,000 in funds to repay homeowners who either remove their trees or use chemical treatments to prevent infestation. Lee said the funds will not be enough to cover all homeowners in the city, who could individually see up to $500 in subsidies, meaning the program will operate on a firstcome-first-serve basis. “We would like to make sure that our community forests stay as intact as possible,” Lee said. “It’s part of our sustainability plan for the City of Englewood.” The boring beetles were first found in Michigan and most likely came to Colorado through the transfer of firewood, according to Deidre Jaeger, a doctoral candidate in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department at the University of Colorado Boulder. Lacking any enemies in Colorado to keep it in check, the ash borer’s spread has been unrelenting, according to Jaeger, who said Boulder County’s urban canopy coverage has been cut nearly in half since the beetle was first identified in 2013. The beetle can kill a tree in as fast as one to two seasons, Jaeger said, though it can take years until a tree dies. While trunk injections can serve as a preventable measure, once a tree that has not been protected is infested, its fate is sealed. “If (ash trees) are infested, it is a matter of time before we lose them, and one of the biggest risks is we don’t know how fast the pest will kill the tree, and once it does the tree can become really structurally unsound,” Jaeger said, adding that this poses risks to people and property. It’s all the more reason why homeowners whose trees do become infested take quick action to remove the trees. But with ash trees so common and beloved by Front Range communities, parting with one can be especially difficult. “There are some people who want to hang on to the tree until it’s lost its last green leaf,” Jaeger said, adding that “trees are a foundation of many other micro-ecosystems.” Known for providing large amount of shade, the trees also present eye-popping colors in the fall and have become a cultural symbol for the region. Being a

semi-arid climate, the plains of Colorado’s Front Range prove picky about what trees it will let survive, with ash being among a few. But the beetles’ spread has shown the need for a variety of trees in urban settings, said Jaeger. “This has definitely taught us the value of planting more diversity,” she said. Even more important than diversifying species is diversifying tree genomes, according to Dana Coelho, urban & community forestry program manager for the Colorado State Forest Service. Coelho said the threat to ash trees is akin to the devastating spread of Dutch elm disease that began in the 1950s and killed over 40 million elm trees. When that happened, many communities began planting ash trees instead, but planting so much of the same tree has now led to a similar issue. “We over planted … so then when it became susceptible to something, woosh, there goes a big portion of your canopy,” Coelho said. By not just planting the same family of tree, such as pine, which has over 100 different species, urban communities can avoid pests that target different species within that

same family. Coelho said Front Range communities should look to trees like the hearty Kentucky coffeetree or oak trees to replace ash trees that may become infested. It’s something that Lee said he hopes will become a priority of a future Englewood forester, a position that the city is actively seeking to fill. But the city has struggled to find the right applicants, Lee said, which could potentially delay the launch of the forestry program possibly to

early 2023. “Anywhere you go across the Front Range, no matter what the business or industry is, everybody’s having a hard time hiring,” Lee said, adding that he remains “optimistically hopeful” the program can still launch this year.

Food is love

n getting out and about these days, one thing I am loving is how full restaurants are again. I love walking into some of my favorite places to eat and seeing a ton of people inside. This is not some dig at COVID at all. This is coming from the heart. I love food. I love food of all kinds. I love going out to eat. However, I know that the last two years FROM THE could not have been easy on EDITOR local restaurants and small businesses just trying to survive. Growing up, one thing I remember fondly is how often we came together as a family to eat. Food was our bond. Because we lived in a small town, it was a treat on a Friday or Saturday night to Thelma Grimes drive 45 minutes away to have a steak dinner. For family celebrations and get-togethers, we had some of the best BBQs. Growing up, we had a large, close family that taught me so much and all of it was centered around food. Today, family is not as close as I would like. My brothers live much farther away, and the big family get-togethers are rare, but I definitely took something from them as I raise my family and try to mimic traditions and instill similar values. Dinners, whether dining out or staying in, are truly where a family comes together, bonds, talks about what was good and discusses the bad from our days. Our dinnertime conversations can be tense at times, but most of the time they are filled with laughter and fun. We only have dinner separately on a rare occasion. At dinner, one of my main rules is to eat together. Last week, we went to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants, Casa de Mariachi, in Parker. We had a great time and we loved seeing that there was not an empty table in the house. It was also one of the first times my entire family of five returned there as a group. Same was true for a PHO restaurant I tried in Castle Pines recently. The tables were full and things seem to be feeling good again. With the husband, date nights, while still not regular, are getting back on track. Earlier this year we went to a show at the Paramount, again full, and enjoyed dinner at the Appaloosa Grill downtown. We have been happy to learn some local establishments that serve brunch are back on track. Buffets disappeared for more than 18 months. Now, they are back with a ton of awesome food choices and drinks. For me, food is family. In the Denver metro area from Jefferson County to Douglas and Arapahoe counties, we have great, locallyowned restaurants that deserve our support as they work to get back dollars lost, rebuild staff and once again return to being the places we go for a night out, a celebration or a family get-together. In short, support a restaurant, enjoy your family, and always take advantage of the great food.

Energizing our engagement

ope fuels purpose, purpose drives passion, passion engages performance, and performance delivered equals results. It begins with hope and ends in results. What is this “it” that begins with hope and ends in results? The answer is, it is anything that you want “it” to be. When we consider anything that we endeavor to do or are currently trying to do, when we add hope to it, we set off a series of other triggers that energizes our engagement. And we can energize our engagement, the execution or performance will surely follow. We all have hope for something, we have dreams, and we have goals. We have hopes, dreams, and goals for our business and for our personal lives. If we are not where we think we should be, what we might be experiencing in both our personal and professional lives is disengagement. We have the ideas, we have written out our plans, we have started to move towards executing against our plans, and then for some reason we stop. Our interest or engagement in the project or whatever we were doing has weakened. This week I was having this discussion with a friend of mine. She shared with me that she just seems to have lost interest in so many things. She shared that these past two years have been very hard on her mentally, physically, emotionally and even spiritually. The pandemic, society, politics and now the war have left her feeling numb and confused. She is struggling with getting excited about her work and has lost interest in the things that used to bring her joy and happiness in her personal life too.

We talked for a long time, and after a while I asked her what she was hoping for in life. At first, she said that she had lost hope, and she was feeling hopeless and helpless. We talked some more about that, and then I said that I was sure that she must have hope for something, we all do. She thought about it and still shrugged. So, I reminded her of the eight things Michael Norton Zig Ziglar used to say that we all have hope for: happiness, good health, prosperity, security, friendship, peace of mind, good family relationships and a brighter future. And I asked her if any of these might be something that she also had hope for in her own life. As we dug in a little deeper on each one the eight things mentioned above, her demeanor changed. Her body language shifted from disinterested to engaged. She even started taking notes and writing reminders for herself of things she wanted to follow up on. And by the time we parted ways that day, I could literally see the hope in her eyes. My goal was not to try and resolve her issues, all I did was to give her something to think about, hope. Look around at your family members, circle of friends, teammates and employees. Do you see hope in their eyes, does it manifest itself in their work ethic, attitude, and overall engagement?

hat is more heartwarming than a grandchild’s laughter or joyful embrace? As grandparents, we enjoy our grandchildren and the happiness they bring us and we are saddened when they are struggling. Although we may not anticipate having difficult conversations with our grandchildren, there are times when events occur that we may not feel adequately prepared to respond. The world we live in has become more anxiety-provoking and complicated, including for today’s grandchildren. Being mindful that how we as grandparents experience life on a daily basis is not necessarily how our grandchildren may be experiencing their daily lives; their world is different than our world. A parent’s divorce, death of a loved one, feelings of depression and anxiety, these are a few situations that may make for difficult conversations with a grandchild. Cyber bullying, social media, the threat of school shootings, the COVID pandemic- our grandchildren have become part of an adult world while still children. At these times, it may be difficult knowing what to say and what to do. When a grandchild confides in a grandparent, he/she must feel safe and

Grandparents as co-pilots secure in the relationship, and confiLIVING AND dent that a grandparent can help them AGING WELL sort through their feelings. Even if a grandparent may not feel confident, and may not have all the answers, using a few guiding principles will help to be better prepared to provide comfort in their Linda L. grandchild’s time of need. Van Meter, These challenges present opportunities for growth, where grandchildren can learn confidence in facing problems and experience a sense of competency, essential to the development of their self-esteem. How can that happen? With a grandparent as a co-pilot alongside their grandchild to help them navigate turbulent times together. The relationship between parent and child, and grandparent and grandchild, is different, in a good way. Grandchildren can feel freer to share their innermost feelings with a grandparent without feeling the pressure they are disappointing or worrying their parents. Grandparents are a valuable resource in a supportive role as their

grandchildren are learning how to deal with their feelings, developing problemsolving skills and coping strategies, and learning about perspective. Grandparents may think they are unable to relate to the challenges our grandchildren face, however, feelings of anxiety, sadness, fear and being overwhelmed are universal; the settings may be different, but the feelings are the same. Grandparents can share their experience with a similar situation to their grandchildren and how they handled their emotions. Leading by example, a grandparent can share how they also cope with worry or sadness and what they do to feel better. Reassurance goes a long way in helping a child to cope with feelings. Creating an atmosphere that encourages communication early in the grandparenting relationship is important. Providing a non-judgmental setting for conversation and questions, where grandparents are good listeners, are interested in the smallest details of their grandchildren’s lives, and where grandchildren are encouraged to express feelings about anything, establishes a safe place for them to vent. With unconditional love, grandchildren are more apt to open up and talk about their intimate feelings, their secrets, and what is troubling them the

most, while seeking acceptance and approval to validate their feelings. Key points to remember: Tailor responses to the age and level of the grandchild. Be present in the conversation, listen attentively and without judgment, lead with empathy, be accepting (even if you don’t understand the situation), give reassurance, be genuine, allow for silence. Try different settings, taking a walk, playing a game or engage in an activity while having a conversation. The good news is that grandchildren have grandparents as co-pilots!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR CSP seeks help in reducing fatalities Over the last few months, I have asked the motoring public to join the Colorado State Patrol in driving down the number of fatalities on our state’s roadways. While I firmly believe this effort can only be realized through a majority of our drivers consciously participating through safe driving behavior, I also want to share how your Colorado State Patrol members are taking action. Law enforcement agencies across the nation are experiencing the same strain on their workforce that most industries are facing, so the Patrol is working strategically to do more with less. We have leaned into what our agency’s crash investigation data is telling us, so we can focus our enforcement on the most predictable behaviors that cause serious crashes in Colorado. In addition, we are advancing our use of data to pinpoint where and when crashes are most prevalent. In late 2021, the Colorado State Patrol initiated surge operations in predictable, high crash areas and these efforts yielded the best possible result - no fatalities in those areas.

age you to start a conversation around hope. A team without hope of winning the next game will probably not practice. A student who has no hope of passing a test will more than likely not study. A salesperson with no hope of making the sale may never pick up the telephone. A spouse with no hope for the relationship will soon stop trying. Give those who matter the most the best gift you can ever give them, give them the gift of hope.

Troopers continue to couple what we learn from our data with their knowledge of local traffic patterns and problem areas. This complete approach allows our members to build a more impactful enforcement plan and remain visible. Yet, we will always need your partnership. As we continually improve what we can gain from our data, implement intermittent surge operations and steadily grow back our number of troopers, we also have to accept that the quality of our lives greatly depends on individuals. Drivers collectively decide how safe or how dangerous our roadways will be each time the ignition turns over. Whether there are 100 Colorado State Troopers or 10,000, there will never be a law enforcement officer at every mile marker to catch every bad action. Your Colorado State Patrol will commit to working smarter with every resource at our disposal. Now this is where you come in. Join us in making Colorado a safe place to drive again. Col. Matthew C. Packard Chief of the Colorado State Patrol

Hope is the trigger to purpose, passion, performance, and results. Hope is not a strategy; hope is the secret ingredient to engaging in our goals and dreams. Could you or anyone you know use a little hope right now? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@xinnix.com, and when we can energize our engagement with hope, it really will be a better than good year.

Champagne brunches and services return after COVID shutdowns

The crowd favorite Santa Fe Hot Chicken and Biscuits at Table Mountain Grill & COURTESY PHOTO Cantina BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If you look at the actual definition of brunch online, Wikipedia has one of the best descriptions, calling it a meal that is generally served between 10:20 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and is “usually accompanied by some form of alcoholic beverage.” The definition also covers the most important part, stressing that brunch is a blend of the words lunch and breakfast. However, this special meal, traditionally celebrated on Sundays, is so much more than that. When COVID-19 hit the world in 2020, one of the many valued traditions taken away was the Champagne brunch buffet hosted at hotels and restaurants throughout the Denver metro area. As pandemic restrictions ease, brunch is returning at several locations. While buffet-style dining is still not completely back to normal, some of the area’s favorite Indian restaurants are among those bringing brunch back.

March 10, 2022

These meals are special. For those choosing the lunch side of brunch, the wall of seafood is a favorite. For breakfast, traditions bring diners the usual omelet station, eggs, bacon and sausage and the usual waffles and French toast. In November, Hilton Denver Inverness in Englewood reopened brunch services at the Garden Terrace and Fireside Bar & Grill. When it comes to the seafood, the Hilton spares no expense. Crab legs, shucked oysters and shrimp are plentiful, but the standout dish is one of the smallest cups on display to the side, which is full of ceviche. Unless someone is living in Peru, excellent ceviche is hard to find. But this Hilton brunch does it well with the right amount of shrimp, plenty of fresh, crunchy vegetables that add the precise amount of crunch to offer texture in every bite. And don’t forget the most ‘ important part of this delicious combination — the liquid. This soupy dish is perfect with the right amount of tomato and

‘We look forward to serving our guests again and providing them with an exceptional experience complete with myriad dishes featuring locally-sourced ingredients.’ plenty of spice coupled with the perfect amount of citrus and lime to provide that extra kick as each bite brings a variety of layered flavors. On the lunch side, the Hilton Champagne brunch explores a vari ety of cultures from American staples to Asian. One small tasting dish had beef cooked with a taste of sweet potato noodles. Since it’s an all-you-can-eat brunch, a second helping of this dish is worth it. Staff at the Hilton, who have served Sunday brunch for decades, said diners have started filling the dining room more often since January. “We are elated to have Fireside Bar & Grill back to full capacity as we also celebrate the return of Champagne Sunday Brunch, which is such an iconic Denver dining experience that many guests have grown to cherish,” said Ruth Kilzer, Hilton Inverness director of sales and marketing. “We look forward to serving our guests again and providing them with an exceptional experience complete with myriad dishes featuring locallysourced ingredients.” While tasting a variety of lunch and breakfast options and indulging in a wall of dessert

options, Hilton diners are also treated to live music. Abbey Odgen, a public information official for Hilton Denver Inverness, said Sunday brunch features more than 100 offerings, including domestic artisan cheeses, antipasto plates, shucked oysters, smoked fish and assorted sushi. The Hilton Denver Inverness serves brunch from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sundays. YaYa’s Euro Bristro in Greenwood Village offers brunch with dishes changing weekly with some of the regular favorites coming back. YaYa’s serves an excellent cut of prime rib with creamy horseradish sauce. On the regular menu, YaYa’s serves made-to-order eggs benedict. Taking this approach to serving quality benedict is important because whenever this dish is served buffet style, the English muffin tends to get tough and can take away from the flavor. As the brunch definition stresses, alcohol is a big part SEE BRUNCH, P15

The mimosas offer a good balance of orange juice and Champagne that leave anyone all smiles as they sit in the passenger seat on the way home. YaYa’s serves brunch from 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sundays. At Table Mountain Grill & Cantina, located inside the Table Mountain Inn in Golden, diners might forget they are sitting at a restaurant in Jefferson County as the menu samplings and décor takes people on a trip to Santa Fe. One dish puts a different spin on biscuits and gravy. The Santa Fe Hot Chicken and Biscuits features crispy breaded chicken that has a kick of ghost chili on a jalapeño cheddar biscuit smothered in green chili. “With vibrant Santa Fe decor and fresh ingredients, the renowned Southwestern restaurant encourages guests to explore rich flavors with a festive atmosphere,” said General Manager John Payne. Payne said besides the hot chicken and biscuits, diners also enjoy the chorizo benedict, which includes chorizo patties, fresh-smashed guacamole and grilled asparagus. Keeping with the theme of the restaurant, diners can get into the alcohol side of brunch by drinking a specially-made Mesa Bloody Mary. Table Mountain serves brunch from 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sundays.

Nash, the museum’s senior curator of archaeology. “It’s different for us in America to imagine the continuity of aesthetics there. They had everything — turmoil, joy, treaties, love… everything.” The traveling exhibit Egypt: The Time of Pharaohs runs at DMNS, 2001 Colorado Blvd. in Denver, through Sept. 5. The

Over the ensuing centuries, pharaohs and ordinary people created enormous edifices, delicate works of art and impressive feats of engineering.

Colorado lawmakers introduce bill declaring Juneteenth a state holiday Colorado lawmakers have kickstarted the process of making Juneteenth an official state holiday, joining the federal government and many businesses that already observe it. On March 2, members of the Black Democratic Legislative Caucus gathered with supporters outside the state Capitol to promote SB22-139. The bill would add Juneteenth to the calendar of state holidays starting this year. “I think Juneteenth is largely seen as an African American thing, but it should be seen as something for the general population,” said Sen. Janet Buckner, one of the bill’s sponsors. “It should be something to be educated about and never forgotten.” The holiday commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas and freed the country’s last remaining enslaved people more than two years

after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth has been recognized by many Black communities, including Denver’s, for decades. President Joe Biden designated it as the 11th federal holiday in 2021, making it the first addition to the federal list since Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 1983. State holidays specifically impact the operations of government offices and public schools. Colorado’s effort to officially recognize Juneteenth stems from negotiations with the state workers’ union, which signed its first contract last November. The union, Colorado Workers for Innovative and New Solutions Local 1876 (WINS), negotiated the addition of the paid holiday as a part of their 3-year deal, which also includes a new $15 minimum wage and paid family leave. Supporters say the recognition of Juneteenth is also a symbolic nod toward improving diversity

and equity in state government. Juneteenth is now a paid holiday for Aurora city employees During the March 2 press conference, Skip Miller, president of WINS, said that he never celebrated the holiday while growing up. It wasn’t until he moved to Colorado in the 80’s that he started attending annual Juneteenth celebrations in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood. “This is something that we have all fought for,” Miller said. “We’re gonna ensure that all people who call this state home can celebrate such a critical holiday.” The bill still needs to make its way through both chambers and receive the governor’s signature before it becomes official. Gov. Jared Polis said Wednesday that he supported the change. “By adopting Juneteenth as a state holiday, we’re paying tribute to the millions of Black Americans who endured indescribable suffering under the horrors of slavery,” Polis

said. “But just as important, we elevate the celebration because at its heart, this is a joyous holiday.” If successful, the addition of Juneteenth would be Colorado’s second change to its list of official holidays in recent years. The state replaced Columbus Day with Frances Xavier Cabrini Day in 2020. Members of the Black caucus expect little pushback on the effort — a stark difference from when members pushed for the addition of MLK day in the 80’s, said Sen. Leslie Herod, the caucus’ chair. “The person who had my seat prior to me, Wilma Webb, fought and fought for five years to make the MLK holiday real under threat. She actually lost her seat on the budget committee,” Herod said. “We ain’t gonna have that same fight this year.”

Denver wants to open marijuana industry to those impacted by drug war BY TATIANA FLOWERS THE COLORADO SUN

After marijuana was legalized in 2012, Colorado leaders began creating rules and regulations for scores of people who were already lining up to take part in what has become a $2.2 billion retail cannabis industry. State leaders took a hardline stance while creating cannabis industry rules, initially barring people with drug convictions from owning dispensaries or marijuana grow houses, for example. Those early rules edged out many would-be entrepreneurs of color and favored the wealthy and well-connected. Now there’s an effort to open access to all, but some are questioning whether the Denver Social Equity Program is too little, too late, and emerging when space to open a pot shop is challenging, at best. State leaders’ idea, lobbyist Samantha Walsh said, was to keep an “undesirable element” out of the industry. But the unintended consequence was that while wealthy and well-connected people thrived at growing and selling recreational cannabis, many people of color and others with fewer resources have not been able to break into the industry. Denver leaders said they’re working to create a more equitable marketplace, including by limiting new licenses for the next five years to only social equity applicants, such as those who have lived in low-income neighborhoods and who were most negatively impacted by the war on drugs. But social equity applicants attempting to navigate the complex process of identifying a location for their businesses, and getting it licensed, say the city’s super-saturated market is making it impossible to set up a new shop or a grow site. The biggest hurdle, they say, is the proximity rule that prohibits one cannabis business from existing within 1,000 feet of another, or closer than 1,000 feet to schools, daycare centers, recreation centers or drug treament centers. Applicants who have spent thou-

Denver’s social equity applicant program, started in April 2021, aims to create equity for historically underserved people, like those who were arrested at the height of the drug war. However, depending on certain qualifications, the program restricts applicants from obtaining cannabis licenses until 2027. Requirements include living in Colorado for at least 15 years in a “disproportionately impacted area,” the applicant or family member having been convicted of a marijuana-related offense and more.

sands of dollars to participate in the city’s social equity program but hit the 1,000-foot wall say city leaders must make changes before participants can be successful. “Does it matter if there’s grow facilities right next to each other, or manufacturing facilities right next to each other?” asked Walsh, who represents Simply Pure dispensary and Black Brown and Red Badged, a trade group for cannabis entrepreneurs of color. “Look at our entire downtown area. There’s brewery next to brewery next to brewery. There’s bar next to bar next to bar. No one really bats an eye about that.” Since the city’s social equity program started in June, the city has received 36 applications from social equity applicants who want to own dispensaries, delivery companies, cultivation sites and hospitality businesses. Of those, 19 are pending, 13 have been approved and four applications have been denied, said Eric Escudero,

director of communications for the Denver Department of Excise and Licensing, the regulatory authority creating and enforcing cannabis rules in the city. In the same period, the city has processed 642 proximity checks for social equity applicants and for existing cannabis retail owners looking for a better location, and just 113 of those spots would likely meet the zoning rules for a new cannabis business, Escudero said. “The idea of, ‘There aren’t locations,’ it’s just not true,” Escudero said. “It’s hard to find a location. But saying there are no locations — it’s just not factually accurate.” About 70% of Denver is zoned residential only and therefore ineligible for commercial uses, he said, making it harder for equity applicants to find a space. Rayshawne Thomas grew up in Montbello, a northeast Denver neighborhood that was heavily impacted by the war on drugs, the government-led initiative that aimed to stop illegal drug use, distribution and trade by dramatically increasing prison sentences for people convicted of possessing and dealing illicit drugs. As a kid, he watched police stop and frisk people and arrest some of them for possession of marijuana and other petty drug offenses. When the Denver Social Equity Program emerged, Thomas, who comes from a family of farmers, felt qualified. But after spending

$5,000 and after searching for eight months for a location that would meet zoning rules, Thomas said he knew there would be no place for him to start his growing business in Denver. Since then, he has applied for his state cultivation license and recently received a local license to operate his new growing operation, Growzillas5280 Farms, in the cannabis-friendly San Luis Valley. Although the three-hour drive from his home in Denver to his farm in Moffat puts stress on his vehicles, and networking in a rural area is much harder, Thomas said he’s committed to making his business as successful as possible. When he began his search for a location in Denver, Thomas said others had told him the process would feel like finding a needle in a haystack. “That’s not true,” he said, “it’s like finding water in a desert. I am very persistent and I work hard, so, when I gave up, I knew that it was just not there.” There are 206 cannabis retail store locations in Denver alone. None are within 1,000 feet from another cannabis business, day care, school or drug treatment facility. City leaders have stood firm in rejecting requests to waive the 1,000-foot rule and have said it is in place to reduce youth cannabis usage. SEE MARIJUANA, P21

Many people against legalization had predicted use by kids would skyrocket after pot was legalized in Colorado in 2013, and it became the city’s priority soon after, to prevent that fear from becoming a reality, Escudero said. Studies show that the more youth are exposed to cannabis and other drugs, the more likely they are to use those substances, he said. However, cannabis advocates say that having stores next to schools is not harmful to children. If city council leaders continue rejecting pleas to remove the 1,000-foot zoning rule, cannabis advocates will introduce a ballot initiative that would allow social equity applicants to waive the rule if passed, said Sarah Woodson, chief compliance officer of High Demand Delivery and executive of The Color of Cannabis. In late fall, her organization sent out a petition that has collected more than 500 signatures calling for the city council to remove the 1,000-foot proximity restriction. Her organization has also compiled a list containing around 70 locations where social equity applicants have tried to open up new businesses but could not because of zoning restrictions. “My organization is going to move forward, full force, to get this removed,” Woodson said. “The thing that I’m always trying to get social equity applicants to realize is that we have to change policy ourselves.” The city has likely felt pressure from Denver’s entrenched marijuana business leaders who likely don’t want increased competition from new cannabis businesses opening nearby. But it would help their public relations profiles if existing business owners agreed to help social equity applicants get justice through the proposed waiver process, Walsh said. “I had one client where it was like 998 feet from the back of the Denver Rec Center,” she said. “So they weren’t able to secure that location, and then on top of that, even if you do find a place, is that property owner going to rent to you?” she asked. “A lot of the space that they say is open is private commercial real estate that is

definitely not interested in leasing to marijuana businesses.” Felony possession Michael Diaz-Rivera was 19 when he was pulled over by police in January 2006 and charged with felony possession of marijuana, even though he had less than half an ounce of weed on him at the time. The felony conviction made it difficult for him to find jobs and stable housing. When weed became legal, DiazRivera had hopes of entering the lucrative industry and when the social equity applicant program was instituted, he was eager to open a dispensary. “I wanted to start a retail store here in Colorado. It’s the best business model. It’s the one that makes money,” he said. “But as soon as I started to do my research, I realized that the 1,000-foot rule was the main thing that was going to keep me from even finding a location.” After three months of looking, he decided instead to apply for a cheaper transport and delivery license, which is not subject to the 1,000-foot zoning restriction. But now, he said, his income is not sustainable. He makes about $20 per delivery. Most Colorado customers are used to buying weed from stores themselves. For delivery companies to build a sustainable revenue stream, they must remind customers about the benefits of home delivery, he said. Now DiazRivera is working to develop as many partnerships with existing dispensary owners to keep his Better Days Delivery company afloat. While the Social Equity Program is in force, existing dispensaries must only use delivery services provided by licensed transporters in the social equity program. Some stores have abided by the rule, while others are “waiting it out,” not planning to add a delivery option until after the program ends in 2027, Escudero said. That lack of participation is one of the most discouraging aspects of the social equity program, Escudero said. If existing cannabis businesses don’t step up before the program is over, social equity applicants with delivery licenses will go out of business, he said. “It’s becoming very clear, very quickly, that when presented with the cheaper option, or the easier option, cannabis companies aren’t going to choose the social equity

route. They’re going to choose whatever is better for their bottom line,” said Peter Marcus, vice president of communications at Terrapin Care Station, a national chain of cannabis stores founded in Boulder. Many existing dispensary owners were vocal about supporting social equity applicants when the program first surfaced. But only 19 of the 206 store locations in Denver have a permit to have their product delivered by licensed social equity delivery companies in Denver, according to Escudero. Benjamin Merriman is another social equity applicant seeking a cultivation or dispensary license. He was convicted twice for growing marijuana at his home, and like Diaz-Rivera, he has struggled to find a location for his new business. He’s looking for angel investors willing to fund his cultivation business, which would cost somewhere between $3 million to $6 million, depending on the location. The only eligible spot that he’s found, so far, would cost $6 million to purchase, he said. The social equity program’s 1,000 footrule feels degrading, he said. “It’s like, ‘Here’s one bone out there for you folks and whoever gets it, we appreciate you, we respect you,”’ he said. City leaders said they recognize low access to capital is another major factor keeping many social equity applicants from participating in the cannabis industry. Walsh said her organizations’ biggest priority is ensuring that a new state social equity program to support marijuana businesses remains well funded. It would primarily help social equity licensees with loans for seed capital and ongoing business expenses, grants to support innovation and job creation and technical assistance. The program is funded with $4 million, according to the Colorado General Assembly website. The new Cannabis Business Office will create new economic development opportunities, local job creation and community growth for the diverse population across Colorado, according to the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. The Cannabis Business Office will

offer technical assistance and help with capital, which is important, Escudero said, because banks are prohibited from offering financial services to cannabis business owners because cannabis is still illegal at the federal level. Denver Economic Development & Opportunity has also received 1% of city cannabis sales tax revenue per year for the next five years for the Cannabis Social Equity Technical Assistance program to reduce barriers to entry into the cannabis industry, and for the Small Business Investment Fund, which aims to level the playing field for small businesses in Denver, such as social equity applicants’ businesses. Social equity licensees and cannabis advocates say much more funding is needed. When the Social Equity Program started last year, it included a rule requiring dispensary owners renewing their licenses each year to specify the ways in which they will advance social equity within their organizations, such as by promoting diversity in hiring and employment. City leaders cannot take action to revoke a license if cannabis leaders don’t execute on their stated equity plan. “But we put them on record and anyone can request a copy of those plans to hold organizations accountable,” Escudero said. “I do wonder what happens to those things,” Marcus said. Terrapin Care Station has one store in Denver. “We answer them and then they just go somewhere with the city. There’s no repercussions for not following through. Companies aren’t getting fined. They’re not getting penalized. They’re not losing their licenses. So you want to ask, ‘What’s a good way to hold the company’s feet to the fire?’ I would be curious to know, what is our auditing and what are our repercussions for those who are making promises that they’re not keeping?’” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Chaparral and ThunderRidge hoops teams head to Final Four Douglas County High School eliminated in Great Eight play BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chaparral’s Luke Williams, 20, gets an unblocked tip-in for two points. Williams later led a big comeback for the Wolverines who were down by 13 points in the 3rd period to come back to win 65-60 in the Great 8 PHOTO BY PAUL DISALVO round on March 5 at the Denver Coliseum.

Chaparral stormed back for a stunning comeback victory in a boys Class 5A state Great Eight matchup on March 5 at the Denver Coliseum. Meanwhile, Continental League opponent ThunderRidge advanced to the Final Four with an easy win over Rock Canyon. In the Grand Eight contest, Chap rallied to edge Eaglecrest, 65-60. ThunderRidge easily defeated Rock Canyon, 78-51. In the other games, Denver East pulled away from Douglas County in the fourth quarter to notch a 68-57 win. Fossil Ridge connected on 53.2% of its field goals in a 80-53 romp over Legacy. The top four seeded teams in the Grand Eight now move on to the Final Four, slated for a March 11 tip off at the Coliseum. Top-seeded and defending state champion ThunderRidge (24-2) will challenge No. 4 Denver East (24-2) in a 7 p.m. contest. Third-seeded Chap will play No. 2 Fossil Ridge at 8:30 p.m. in the other Final Four matchup.

The two winners from the Final Four will head to the state championships on March 12 at the Coliseum. In Great Eight play, it did not look like Chap would advance to the semi-finals, but the Wolverines rallied and will be making their first Final Four appearance since 2019. Eaglecrest shot 61.9% from the floor in the first half and continued its hot accuracy at the start of the third quarter, building a 16-point lead at 4933 with 4:51 left in the stanza. Luke Williams and Bennett Pegues led a Wolverine comeback, which led Chap on a 20-4 run in the fourth. Eaglecrest’s shooting cooled and the Centennial League champions unofficially went 2-for-12 in the last eight minutes. “When you notice their shooters are cooling off, that’s when you have to go,” said Pegues. “We feed off that. I had no doubt we would come back. We knew we wanted to win. All we could see was a win. We couldn’t see a loss.” Williams was also confident that Chap would rally. “At the beginning of the season, we were in that situation many times and we just try not to overreact,” he said. “I was just trying to do what I could do. Everybody was starting to heat up. Everybody woke up and I hit my shots and got my share of buckets.”

t p g Williams had a game-high r 32 points with 12 coming in the fourth quarter. Pegues L scored eight of his 11 points in the final eight minutes of w regulation. t Joel Speckman also had 11 h points for Chap. “I’m happy I get to coach G this team for another week,” said Wolverines Coach Nate h Rohnert. “They never stoppedG believing against Eaglecrest. C I did nothing. Those guys just C kept playing. When you do i that and have quality guys, a p anything can happen.” Chap will be facing Fossil C Ridge for the second time this season after losing 67-63 game f W in December. “It’s going to be a tough game,” said Williams. “We w t will watch film and know what we have to do to go out f i and win.” t Hot-shooting ThunderRidge, which hit at a 61.9 clip A from the field, didn’t have b much trouble against Conw tinental League rival Rock Canyon and advanced to the fi Final Four for the 12th time. The Grizzlies had four play- s d ers score double figures. Zach Keller, a 6-foot-9 seniorb c and Wake Forest commit, had a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds.

Highlands Ranch, Arapahoe and Valor head to Final Four Girls basketball 5A finals are set for March 12 BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

To win a girl’s state basketball championship, a team must take a preliminary step and advance into the final four. On March 4 at the Denver Coliseum, defending state champion and top-seeded Valor Christian, secondseeded Highlands Ranch, third-seeded Grandview and fifth seeded Arapahoe won in the Great Eight, punching a ticket to the Class 5A Final Four. On March 10, Valor Christian (21-4) will play Arapahoe (18-7) and Highlands Ranch (21-4) will challenge Grandview (18-9) at the Coliseum. The winners from the Final Four contest will advance to the 5A state championships on March 12 at the Coliseum.

While Arapahoe is new to the semifinals round, Valor Christian, Highlands Ranch and Grandview are familiar with this round of competition. “We’ve got to the Sweet 16 I don’t know how many times,” said Arapahoe Coach Jerry Knafelc. “Getting to this level and getting beyond it is tough. It is great for our program. We’ve been on the edge before and any win we get at this point belongs to everybody in the last 12 years that has played in the program. “We’re on the shoulders of giants. Those are the giants that had to keep climbing the ladder. I’m not taking anything away from my girls. This is a special group of young ladies. We’re pretty battle tested and had a tough schedule. That pays off when you get into games like this.” Valor is making its third consecutive 5A Final Four appearance and sixth overall in the state semifinals, “It is familiar,” said Valor Coach Jessika Caldwell. “It’s a beautiful familiarity. It

doesn’t happen all the time. It’s something in our program that we always strive for excellence.” Arapahoe will provide a familiar opponent for Valor, although the teams have not played each other this season. Last season, after Valor’s gymnasium was flooded, the Warriors offered assistance. “We were out of a gym,” explained Caldwell. “They helped us in a gym-less situation and that has brought us close together. I’m excited to be able to match up with them and just go at it and have some fun.” This will be the seventh straight season that Grandview has made the Final Four and Highlands Ranch, under coach Caryn Jarocki, will be making its 16th appearance. “Knowing that the Final Four is kind of a slot for us each year, we just know we kind of have to work hard for it,” said Alex Pirog, the team’s senior power forward. “It is really special to get SEE GIRLS, P23

We have a tough game, but we’ll put in the work and be ready to go.” Grandview is led by 6-foot-7 senior Lauren Betts. “We have four days to prepare which is helpful,” said Jarocki. “But their bigs are a huge concern. We’ll have to play really well.” Great Eight play In the Great Eight games, Arapahoe toppled Fossil Ridge, 53-46, and Grandview crushed district and Centennial League rival Cherry Creek, 70-38. Highlands Ranch found its shooting touch in the second half and beat Doherty, 54-39, and Valor pulled away late for a 54-44 win over Chaparral. Clutch free throw shooting by freshman Gianna Smith helped the Warriors hold off Fossil Ridge. The Sabercats pulled to within 48-46 with 1:29 left, but Smith sank two free throws to push the Warriors ahead by four points with 63 seconds remaining. Smith hit all six of her free throws and finished with 15 points. Sydney White had 12 points for Arapahoe, which held a 42-23 rebounding edge over the Sabercats, who hit only 28.3 percent from the field.

They went into a zone and we didn’t shoot well.” Highlands Ranch capitalized on an 18-6 run to open the fourth quarter and started to rebound better in its win over Doherty. Pirog had 17 points to go along with 11 rebounds for the Falcons. Emily Hovasse had 16 points while Katie Johanning and Ezra Simonich drained three-point shots which helped Highlands Ranch shoot 59.1 percent in the second half after a 15.4 percent performance in the first two quarters.
