Englewood council discusses housing density

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Englewood City Council further brainstormed potential zoning changes that could increase housing density in traditionally single-family areas during its March 13 study session.  e zoning changes being consid-

ered are part of the CodeNext project, which is an e ort to update Englewood’s development code, called the Uni ed Development Code. is code details what types of development and property uses are permitted in certain sections, or zone districts, of the city.

One of the ideas the council is

considering as part of CodeNext is allowing for two-to-four-unit buildings — also referred to as duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes — to be built on some residential lots that exist within the city’s R-1 zone districts, as long as at least one of the units is more a ordable.

Rep. Jason Crow holds first-ever town hall in Englewood

Mental health, airport discussed

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A crowd of residents gathered in Englewood High School March 14 for U.S. Rep. Jason Crow’s rst-ever town hall in Englewood, discussing issues such as education funding, the Centennial Airport, water concerns and veterans’ mental health.

“I’m so excited that Congressman Crow’s team and Congressman Crow asked if they could host a town hall here,” said Englewood Schools

Superintendent Wendy Rubin, who introduced Crow.

“He takes his responsibilities and obligations to our country, and to the people that he represents very, very seriously,” Rubin said. “I just could not be more thrilled that he decided to host this town hall here to really welcome Englewood and surrounding communities into CD (Congressional District) 6, and to show how accessible he is and to really show his heart of service.”

Every 10 years, the U.S. population is counted through the national census and districts for the U.S. House of Representatives, also referred to as the congressional districts, are

redrawn, according to the Congressional Research Service.

Due to Colorado’s population growth from 2010 to 2020, the state gained an eighth congressional district. Following a redistricting process, in November 2021, the Colorado Supreme Court approved the new, redrawn congressional maps, as reported by e Colorado Sun.

Crow, a Democrat who was reelected in 2022, represents Colorado’s sixth congressional district, which now includes Englewood.

“I’m really excited that this is a part

of the new district,” Crow said. “ is is actually one of the most exciting parts of my job, just being here — being out, giving you an update on what I’m doing, taking your questions, taking your feedback. It helps me be a better representative and to do my job better.”

During the question-and-answer portion of the event, residents spoke to a variety of issues the community faces to learn more about Crow’s opinions and plans for action.

that have residential one-dwelling units, also known as single-family homes. According to the city’s code of ordinances, there are three types of R-1 zone districts:

• R-1-A, which means the properties typically have a larger lot size.

When Libby Bortz left her home for college, her parents told her it was important to have an educated heart, not just an educated mind.

“When you can feel with people and you know what it feels like to be in their shoes — that, for me, is kind of what an educated heart is about,” Bortz said. “It means that you think beyond yourself and you take into account other people’s needs, not just your own.”

For Bortz, an educated heart was the motivator behind much of her work in Littleton, where she made a di erence in the community through counseling, housing, education civil rights and criminal justice.

• R-1-B, which typically represents a medium lot size.

• R-1-C, which typically represents a smaller lot size.

e project has been in the works for more than a year, said Chris Brewster of Multi Studio, a consultant for the project.

“ ese issues have been discussed in the community for quite a while and we think we have a lot of good input, and we’re approaching a point where we’re ready to make our formal recommendation, although nothing tonight is in that format,” Brewster said. “ e status we’re at is we have an initial draft of the full code.”

ere are a variety of di erent changes under consideration through CodeNext, though it appears the most controversial is the possibility of allowing two-to-fourunit buildings in R-1 zone districts. Some residents held signs opposing the consideration during the March meeting.

If the council pursues allowing two-to-four-unit buildings to be built in R-1 zone districts, Brewster said there are some potential outcomes to be aware of.

“Largely, the idea that some of these lots aren’t built to their full extent now, so we would expect some larger volume buildings being built in these locations,” Brewster said.

One of the questions Brewster posed to council members was whether they would only consider allowing these buildings if the devel-

oper is guaranteeing an a ordable unit.

Councilmember Rita Russell asked what the de nition of a ordability is.

Mollie Fitzpatrick, co-founder and managing director of Root Policy Research, explained there are two di erent ways to talk about a ordability — natural a ordability and “capital A a ordability” that involves contractual agreements such as a deed restriction.

Root Policy Research, a Denverbased community planning and housing research rm, recently conducted a housing needs assessment for Englewood and is a consultant for the CodeNext project.

Previously, during a Feb. 23 town hall, Councilmember Joe Anderson said the current idea, which he noted was not set in stone, is that a two-to-four-unit building would have one unit that was required to be a ordable at the 80% area median income (AMI) level.

However, during the March meeting, consultants suggested that the AMI level be set to 100% instead, speci cally for the for-sale properties.

“Are you stating that it’s not feasible to go lower than a 100% AMI on any for-sale properties, if we were to move forward with this — with any of these recommendations?” Mayor Othoniel Sierra asked during the meeting.

“It would be less attractive to a developer to pursue less than 100% AMI,” Fitzpatrick said. “It’s pretty hard for that incentive to be attractive to someone that would otherwise build market rate, to actually take that and … allow for one unit to be a ordable at anywhere less than

100% AMI.”

If the city council does want to go down to 80% AMI, then the incentive will likely only be attractive to a nonpro t or mission-based developer, she said.

“It could still work. It could be a great incentive for a land trust or for something like Habitat for Humanity, who is already building to deeper AMIs, this would give them a path to make it where they could build more units maybe than they otherwise would. But that’s a di erent type of incentive as opposed to one that is likely to attract a market-rate developer,” Fitzpatrick said.

Councilmember Jim Woodward asked if the AMI level is for the city speci cally or the metro area, to which Fitzpatrick said it is determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and is the same across the entire metro area.

According to a Root Policy Research report, a 100% AMI income limit for a single-person household is $82,100 and an a ordable home price is $336,462. For a four-person household, a 100% AMI income limit is $117,200 and an a ordable home price is $480,309.

Woodward said that he would consider most of Englewood as already having attainable housing.

“Yes, you are more attainable than a lot of other communities. On the other hand, you are not fully balanced in terms of the price points that are needed by your current residents and workers,” Fitzpatrick said.

She said the housing needs assessment found there is a shortage of for-sale properties below $300,000 in Englewood.

“With a single-family home or a multi-family home in a lot, can we get under $300,000? Cause it doesn’t seem like it’s possible in this market, at least,” Sierra asked.

“It’s a real challenge … but with these incentives, we’re showing that it is feasible but only for, kind of, one of those units, and that’s why we’re at 100% AMI as opposed to that 80% AMI. And it does shift a bit as interest rates shift too, and so we want to continue to watch that,” Fitzpatrick said.

Some concerns Russell, who has voiced opposition to this proposal in the past, raised during the meeting included potential parking issues that the increased density could create, as well as the impact these developments could have on the property values of nearby residents.

Fitzpatrick said that although Root Policy Research did not look at that for Englewood speci cally, there are a lot of studies that have researched the issue.

“ ose broadly show that there are no negative impacts on current property values from incremental increases in density nor are there negative e ects on property values for allowing a ordable or incomerestricted units adjacent to property values,” Fitzpatrick said.

“ ose studies almost completely show zero negative impact — and in fact, a lot of times, positive impact. Because a lot of times it actually shows that new construction actually raises property values around it, even if it’s (a) duplex, triplex, townhome-type development,” she said.

is explanation intrigued Mayor Pro Tem Steven Ward, who asked, “If we’re making density changes and

we’re making small scale changes for one a ordable unit at a time, and those changes actually increase the value of our current stock, then how are we experiencing a net increase in a ordability?”

“ at’s a really fair question,” Fitzpatrick responded. “Any new construction will often, or has been shown in many cases, to increase property values.”

“Building a duplex next to a single family home has not been shown to drag down the property value of that single family home. But we’re not talking about inordinate increases in property value just based on the building (of) a duplex that would be di erent or bigger than a new, other structure,” she added.

Ultimately, Ward said he is opposed to permitting the two-to-fourunit buildings in R-1 zone districts.

“I fundamentally don’t believe that this accomplishes what we think it accomplishes. I anticipate that the outcome of this will be massive disruption to our neighborhoods through construction, parking, noise, other problems that our R-1 neighborhoods don’t currently experience,” Ward said. “And that we will not make a dent in the a ordable housing problem. One unit out of four that is a ordable is a lottery, essentially, because there’s gonna be massive competition for that.”

Russell said she agreed with Ward’s statement, adding, “I do not believe, even though we are touting it as a ordable, it will not be a ordable to the people who really need it.”

Woodward asked if it would be feasible to try these changes in a certain area of the city as opposed to the whole city.

“I don’t know what area that would be but I just feel really uncomfortable about changing, making changes like this to the whole city because it’s really something that — once it’s started, I don’t believe it can go back. And I see that as a huge problem,” he said. “Can’t we take this pieces at a time and see what happens?”

Sierra responded by saying he thinks that is a decision for the council to make in terms of whether to scale this slowly, explaining a limit such as a time release could be set.

Anderson suggested a potential limit could be that only one twoto-four-unit building can be built every three years per block, providing time for the council to assess the implementation and if changes are needed.

Several council members expressed interest in exploring some kind of limitation to how much a block could change and how quickly.

Councilmember Chelsea Nunnenkamp said no neighborhood should be forced to undergo radical change overnight. She favors a thoughtful, incremental approach to increasing the missing middle housing stock that she feels the city needs.

A few council members also talked about wanting to have more speci c design standards drafted to ensure the new developments would t in with the neighborhoods as much as possible.

“I’m happy to see some restrictions coming forward on this,” Ward said. “I have a lot of heartburn over

Littleton’s literary talent shines through in two recently published books by local authors. Released this winter, these books show imagination, tenacity and skill, giving a reason to look local for your next page-turner.

e book takes readers from Crested Butte to Chile, Alaska and the Alps as the main character, Whitney Olson, trains on some of the most dangerous peaks in the world. In addition to being a professional skier, Olson is the single mother of a child with a seizure disorder.

Smith, who has written a couple of books and blogs in the past, said he was never an “overly political” person, but has always paid attention to politics. When demonstrators protesting the results of the 2020 presidential election stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, he developed a stronger political opinion.

“It was just time, in my opinion,

And so she is always having to leave her daughter behind in Crested Butte with her grandparents.”

Plotkin said she hopes Olson’s story helps readers to see the unique challenges that female athletes, especially those who are or want to be parents, face in their careers.

“Even though the protagonist is a female… I’m really hoping that men read the book and enjoy the story and also take away and have a better understanding of what women may in fact be experiencing in their inner world as work-

Smith felt writing a novel was a creative way to take a stance.

“At that point, I needed to not complain, not sit in front of the TV and wring my hands and make comments about people and about what was going on -- it was just time to do something,” he said. “I wasn’t going to go to Washington and march. I wasn’t going to start phoning congressmen and yelling at them. I just thought this was a di erent way, in a di erent method.”

In addition to the drama, adventure and thrill of the novel, Plotkin hopes it helps people understand the power of nature.

Denver Beer Company looks at fifth location in Littleton

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Since Jackass Hill Brewery closed in the fall, Littleton residents have been wondering what will take its prime spot at the corner of Main Street and South Prince Street.

On March 13, neighbors gathered in the empty building to learn the space could become a fth location of Denver Beer Company.

e brewery, founded by Patrick Crawford and Charlie Berger 12 years ago, pours pints on Platte Street, Lowry Boulevard, South Downing Street and in Olde Town Arvada. Crawford and Berger are excited about the prospect of joining the downtown Littleton community.

“Breweries are not new to Littleton — we note that you guys have some,” Berger said to the group. “But Patrick and I, as co-founders and owners of this small business, we’re here tonight because we’re excited to be, ourselves, part of the community.”

Approval process ahead

Because the new location will require some site modi cations, Denver Beer Company’s proposal must go through several rounds of city approval before it’s o cial.

As part of the process, the site plan will go before the historic preserva-

A potential limitation that not all council members agreed on was whether the two-to-four-unit buildings should be limited to corner lots.

Sierra said his preference would be to have the corner lot limitation, as he viewed it as helping limit the amount that a block can change and providing two sides for parking.

Nunnenkamp, however, was not in favor of the corner lot limitation. She would like corner lots to be included as places where development can occur but not have it be limited to them because then certain lots are targeted. She said she’d like to have the developments be more evenly

“We like to give our residents in Littleton ample time and opportunities to kind of interact with those developers who are kind of transforming those neighborhoods so that they can provide that feedback,” she said.

Meeting attendees expressed desire for the process to go as fast as possible, some even saying they would like to see the beer garden open by the summer.

“Just to expedite it in a sense of (Denver Beer Company’s) business and being respectful to them as well to the landlord, however the business chamber can help in assisting you with that, we’re certainly willing to,” Littleton Business Chamber co-president Pat Dunahay said to Turnbach at the meeting.

If the approval process goes as expected, the Denver Beer Company team hopes to open the location at the beginning of September.

Ultimately, with the support of council members Nunnenkamp, Anderson, Sierra and Cheryl Wink, the consideration of the two-to-fourunit buildings with at least one unit being marked as more a ordable being permitted in R-1 zone districts will move forward.

e council agreed that it will have another presentation for CodeNext presented at a future study session before the code draft is nalized and presented to the city’s planning and zoning commission for a public hearing.

Man dies in police shooting

Robbery reported

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A suspect has died after being shot by Englewood officers March 18, the Englewood Police Department said in a news release. No officers were injured during the incident, and there is no additional threat to the public.

According to the release, Englewood police were called to the Lucky U Motel, located at 4575 S. Broadway, at approximately 12:40 p.m. March 18.

The caller reportedly said a male threatened to rob and shoot the caller and allegedly pointed a handgun at the caller, the police department said. The male, whose age was not revealed in the news release, then allegedly left the area on foot.

“The male was described in detail and the caller said he was still carrying the handgun when he left,” the police department said in the release.

Officers reportedly arrived in the area and “were directed” toward South Broadway and Princeton Avenue where they allegedly located the suspect, the police department said.

The suspect allegedly ran northbound through the east Broadway alley toward East Oxford Avenue, per the release. The officers reportedly pursued the

suspect on foot and located him just east of the intersection of Oxford Avenue and South Broadway.

The officers then allegedly confronted the suspect and an “officer involved shooting occurred,” the police department said. This means that at least one officer discharged their firearm, hitting the suspect.

According to the release, officers reportedly rendered aid to the suspect, though it is not clarified in the release how soon the aid was given after the suspect was shot by police.

The suspect was transported to a nearby hospital where he died, per the release. The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office responded to the hospital and will release information about the male “at a later time,” the police department said.

An independent investigation of the incident will be conducted by the 18th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team, according to the release. It is not specified how many officers are involved, but the police department said that the involved officers were placed on paid administrative leave.

If anyone has information regarding this incident, the police department asked that they call 303-761-7410. The police department said no further information will be released at this time due to the ongoing investigation.

On March 28, the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing to approve or deny a moratorium for up to six months on accepting any applications for a Use by Special Review for an oil and gas facility.

Making change

When she moved to Littleton after college, she spoke with an admis-

sions o cer at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus to see what it would take to have a decent application.

“She told me, “Don’t bother, you’re

too old,’” Bortz said. She was 27 at the time.

A few years later, Bortz took steps toward legal action against the medical school for gender discrimination, causing the institution to eliminate their gender quota and start enrolling more women. Decades after that, Bortz became part of the medical school’s admissions committee and continued working to bring more gender equity to the institution.

Bortz got her master’s degree in social work from the University in Denver and began practicing as a clinical therapist. In this role, she saw many female clients and started to connect the dots between mental

health, education and housing.

“Two-thirds of all people who came into the mental health center at that time were women,” Bortz said. “And they were women who had, due to divorce, desertion, separation, whatever, debt, they were on their own… So we started the programs for women at the college, so that they could gain some skill to support themselves and their kids.”

Bortz developed courses and programs for women at Arapahoe Community College and helped ACC open a women’s resource center. She also provided leadership to other colleges throughout Colorado to start similar programs.

In addition, Bortz started to see how housing played a role in people’s well-being. She helped her city begin the Littleton Housing Authority, now known as South Metro Housing Options, one of the rst housing authorities in Colorado. She provided leadership for the housing authority for 47 years and served as rst chairperson of the Colorado Association of State Housing Authorities.

“ e opportunity to have decent housing, to live in a community where you feel you can be productive and safe, to have an education that allows you to certainly earn a decent living as well as giving you some satisfaction and pride — I think that’s what having an educated heart means,” she said.

e Libby Bortz Assisted Living Center, the rst assisted living center in the U.S. to be built by a public housing authority, is named after her.

In her work in criminal justice, Bortz sat on a local committee that focused on the needs of victims, speci cally working to help women who were victims of domestic violence and other crimes.

She also sat on the Littleton Council for Human Relations, a group that worked towards integration in Littleton and brought Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to Littleton in 1963. rough her work in mental health, education, housing, criminal justice and civil rights, Bortz saw connections.

“I see the whole, everything I’ve done, as a montage that belongs together,” she said.

Even when she was rejected for her own credit card, she saw how it connected to other areas of justice and equality.

“ e answer always was, ‘Your husband has a credit card in his name. What do you need one for?’” she said.

She wrote a letter asking the president of the company if he didn’t trust his wife with expenditures. e next thing she knew, she was approved for the card.

“If you don’t have credit, as a woman or anyone doesn’t have credit, you know that it’s hard to buy some things,” she said. “It all comes together, and that’s good mental health.”

Breaking the mold

Bortz received plenty of criticism for her work throughout her life. When she ran for a county commissioner position in Arapahoe County

and during her work to further civil rights, she received threatening phone calls, one telling her she’d be “terribly sorry” for what she was doing. rough the challenges she faced, Bortz found strength to forge forward because she knew she was doing the right thing.

“Women were supposed to know their place, and I broke that mold,” she said. “I just felt that what I was doing was humane. It was right. at we deserved whatever opportunities might be out there to try for.”

Bortz said her mother was an inspiration to her as she worked towards justice and equality.

“My mother was a good role model for persistence about doing the right thing,” she said. “And it was right to try to have people have choice about where they live. It was right to have schools re ect the whole world.”

With humility, Bortz noted that she worked throughout her life with many other people ghting for justice.

“I found a group of like-minded people — you need that if you’re going to be a pioneer,” she said. “Certainly, there were many of us who paved the way.”

Bortz said she was honored to be chosen for the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame, as it acknowledges so many women who have made e orts to provide opportunities for everyone.

“When you value doing the things that you know make this a better world, then go for it, ght for it,” she said. “And if other people don’t always agree, that’s okay for you to keep at it... Do what you believe is the right thing to do.”

Support for SROs FROM THE EDITOR

Over the last few years, the idea of defunding the police was tied to the idea that we would have better outcomes with depleted law enforcement resources. While I am continually in support of more training, continued discussions when an incident happens and departments evolving for the better with education — I was never on the defund any local law enforcement messaging.

In all the calls for defunding police, an area that likely got caught up unfairly in the discussions was school resource o cers. In 2020, local news reports called for removing SROs in light of a national anger at law enforcement in some Denver metro schools.

Here we are years later and regular crime at a Denver metro high school has gotten so bad that even students at East High School staged a protest to ask for better.

As discussions continued, several have now admitted that the idea of SROs doing more harm than good was a bit misguided.

Before becoming a parent, I worked with SROs in Arizona on a regular basis. I loved working with these o cers. I loved seeing them work with students. ey truly cared about a student having a bad day. ey understand the need to communicate and spend extra time with students who are obviously going through a rough time.

For other students who may have taken rst in a track meet or won the spelling bee — these SROs are some of the biggest cheerleaders in the school.

I loved how receptive these students are to the SROs. ey serve as security, counselor, mentor and friend. ey can spot a student who may be posing a threat to the school based on changed behavior and habits.

Now, I am a parent. As a parent, knowing what I know from my days as a journalist doing a “ride-along” with police, I would never push to take SROs out of schools.

ese men and women are some of the best members of our communities. ey likely have more knowledge of what is happening with students in our schools because they are trained to do so. I do not think I have ever met an SRO who does not like their job. ey are good at their jobs because they love their jobs.

When I see an SRO at a local school, I never think of unneeded authority. I automatically think my kids are likely getting great mentorship from an adult who is trained to protect them and advocate for them.

I believe all of our local school districts should look to bring in more SROs, and frankly, given the state of mental health with our children, especially here in Colorado, another set of eyes, an extra advocate for our children can only be a positive thing.

I hate that negative publicity has hurt these people who are great additions to our education system and I hope, given some recent discussions, they get back on track and in full force in schools.

Just to give a shout out to other community aspects of our local law enforcement — In Douglas County I have taken a class in how to survive in case of a mass shooting. Brian McKnight, prevention specialist/community resources, taught me to sit a certain way in a building.

I did a ride-along with the Community Response Team in Douglas County. In watching Deputy Zach Zepeski in one day – I was amazed at the di erence he and his team makes in the daily lives of our citizens.

Law enforcement is not just about writing tickets and drawing a gun. From citizen academies, training sessions and community support — I say don’t be so quick to put them down, and instead experience and be a part of the good they o er.

The team building event was held at Top Golf. e vice president of sales was reluctant to have the meeting there as he had never played golf and didn’t want to embarrass himself. His team convinced him that he could just join them and not have to worry about playing or swinging a club.

As the night went on, the team did everything they could to get their boss to step up and give it a try. ere were others on the team that were in the same spot, having played very little or never. Men and women taking their turns embarrassing themselves with awkward attempts to hit that little white ball. In the end, the vice president of sales chose to keep his dignity intact and did not take his turn amongst the team.

Having spoken with some of the salespeople and the VP of sales privately, I heard mixed opinions about the decision not to join the group. Some thought it showed poor leadership in not being vulnerable enough to laugh at yourself and have a little fun with your team as there were more hacks trying to hit the ball than there were any good golfers.

When I asked the VP of sales why he chose not to try, he was completely transparent with me, sharing that he just didn’t want to embarrass himself. He felt he was being open and vulnerable to his team as well sharing with them the very reason he chose to stay in the back-

ground. It was a bit of a shame because sometimes it’s OK to show humility among our teams and peers.

Two of the words that we hear often when it comes to expectations of leadership and really people in any role are vulnerability and transparency. We no longer must have all the answers or pretend that we do. We no longer have to be perfect or pretend that we are. Maybe the world we live in places that kind of pressure on some of us, and the stress of that pressure can drive us further away from nding the ability to be vulnerable and transparent.

Last week I wrote about courage and discretion, and when we should exercise both. What I am sharing here is a di erent kind of courage, the courage to be open to failure, being brave enough to take a swing at a golf ball with our team when we have never played the game before, and being daring enough to admit we don’t have the answers right now but will work hard to nd them.

Some of the most courageous people I have met have also been the most transparent and vulnerable. Being grounded in honesty and integrity provides them the strength they need to be vulnerable and transparent. Looking at failure and saying “So what” positions them to achieve greater things in life as they move past those mistakes, learning from each one.

One of the synonyms for courage is audacity. Sometimes when we hear the word audacity we think of a negative connotation. inking things like, “ e

Presentation to spotlight ageism

Ag eism is all around us: in the workplace, in commercials, movies and TV shows we watch, in the cards we buy, the products marketed to us and yes, even in the language we speak.

Has anyone ever said to you, or perhaps you to another person, “You look great for your age”? Although probably well-intentioned, there is an inherent bias against growing older contained within this “compliment,” an underlying expectation that you wouldn’t or shouldn’t look great as an older adult. Do we o er the same compliment to a 19-year-old

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Voters made right choice

What did the citizens of the City of Littleton learn on March 7 by the defeat of Question 300 in the special election? By an overwhelming majority, 71% of the Littleton citizens voting speci cally stated, they did not want to amend the city’s charter. Furthermore, the vote indicated that with full knowledge of accurate information and true facts regarding special elections; that amending the city charter to require fewer veried signatures on citizen petitions and reduced time to bring issues to a vote of citizens was not deemed necessary or appropriate.

anks to this vote the charter of the city will remain the way it has been for many years. e citizens of Littleton are to be commended for their foresight in rejecting unneeded and unnecessary amendments to the charter that would have jeopardized the continued e ective and appropriate management of the city in the future.

Attainable housing in Englewood

We bought our rst house right behind the Du eyroll at the south end of town in 2008 for less than $200k. It was a classic starter home with two bedrooms, one bath, two living spaces and a decent yard, front and back. According to Zillow, that house is now worth $470k, which is far from what I would consider a starter home price. We bought our current home near the Gothic eatre for $550k in 2017. Zillow values that house at $773k a mere six years later. And it’s not just the cost of housing that rst-time home buyers are up against

or a 29-year-old? Somewhere along the way, looking great is not associated with advanced years. What about the phrase “senior moment”? We tend to attach a brief lapse in memory to only the older adult. However, elementary students routinely forget where they’ve left their backpacks or to feed the dog. Many teenagers have misplaced earbuds or sports jerseys. What about the mom or dad who searches for the car keys or goes out to the garage and upon their arrival, forgets the item they went there to retrieve? e fact of the matter is that we all experience momentary forgetfulness throughout our lives. Yet it is emphasized when it happens as an older adult. And no, it’s not necessarily a sign of dementia, but rather a manifestation of our busy lives.

ers while we laugh at ourselves. is week you may be asked to do something uncomfortable, something completely outside of your swing zone or comfort zone. And if you are, I hope you will make the decision to audaciously pursue the opportunity. We all learn in di erent ways, and one way that I know we learn the best is by getting knocked o balance. So take the chance, say “So what,” and watch how your vulnerability and trans-

Ageism is discrimination or the devaluing of an individual or group of individuals based solely on their age. And it can be directed toward the young as well as older adults. It creeps into our psyche at a very young age and is continually reinforced throughout our lifetime. As a result, many of us are convinced that young people are not able to lead a work group, o er valuable ideas and solutions to societal issues or are not compassionate towards others. On the other hand, society in general believes that as we age, we have nothing more to o er, obstruct the success of younger people on the way up the corporate ladder or are a drain on the economy. None of this is true. Subtle and not-so-subtle messages about the aging process surround us each day. Do we rec-

parency endear others to you. As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can show courage in ourselves during moments of vulnerability, it really will be a better than good life.

ognize them and realize the negative e ect they have on us? Can we e ect a change in how we all think, speak and act about aging?

Type in “restaurant” on Google Maps and set the lter to “open 24 hours.” You’ll be hard-pressed to nd any local restaurants serving up food to the night owls, late workers and early risers.

Unless you’re seeking around-the-clock Mexican food.

“We’re open 24 hours, and it’s something fresh, you know?” said Govanny Alvarado, a member of the family who runs Alvarado’s Mexican Fast Food. Compared to other restaurants, “you can taste the di erence,” Alvarado said.

e new Englewood spot that opened in August adds to a small but mighty list of Mexican joints that o er all-day, all-night service in the Denver metro area — a type of restaurant that’s becoming more di cult to nd since the COVID-19 pandemic struck.

“Most people like us, you know, we’re always looking for a late-night snack,” said Alvarado, 21, adding that his family “understands the struggle” to nd restaurants that are open late.

His family members, longtime workers in the Mexican fast-food industry, gained experience at his uncle’s restaurant in Arizona. ey later started working for Taco Star and Tacos Rapidos, two chains with 24-hour locations in the metro area, Alvarado said.

“And Taco Star, the one in ornton here, that’s where my dad worked, and that’s where I started as well when I was young,” Alvarado said of the location near 84th Avenue and Washington Street.

When his family members had the chance to start their own restaurant about six years ago, they opened Tacos Los Compas — another 24-hour eatery, near downtown Denver and the Auraria Campus.

“Most of the people that I’ve known or talked to customer-wise, they’re all from Arizona or California, and they all say they miss that taste of authentic Mexican food,” Alvarado said.

Carrying on authentic recipes is part of the job as well for Tamale Kitchen, a longstanding family business with locations around the metro area.

What makes the restaurant unique is “the green chile, the New Mexico-style red chile, the tamale avors, just the avors in general of just old grandma recipe — the beans, the rice, everything’s grandma’s recipes,” said Jose Bishop, owner of the Westminster and Northglenn locations.

e restaurant grew out of an e ort to sell tamales door to door in 1980, and the rst Tamale Kitchen opened in Lakewood in 1981, according to its website.

Its Northglenn location at 104th Avenue and Huron Street stays open around the clock on the weekends, running from 5 a.m. Friday through 10 p.m. Sunday.

e business has expanded to eight locations, stretching from Adams County all the way to Highlands Ranch, and some are franchises run by people outside the family, Bishop said.

Familiar places see challenges

Alvarado noted that after the COVID-19 pandemic shook up the

LATE-NIGHT

economy, it’s di cult to nd 24hour restaurants.

Staples of late-night food in Denver permanently closed amid the pandemic, including the Denver Diner o Speer Boulevard and Colfax Avenue and, to the south, the Breakfast King at Santa Fe Drive and Mississippi Avenue. Both had been open 24/7.

Tom’s Diner, also on Colfax Avenue near downtown, shut down in March 2020 during the pandemic’s early days. It reopened in 2022 as a bar and lounge called Tom’s Starlight, no longer open 24/7.

Pete’s Kitchen, located on Colfax in central Denver, remains open 24 hours Friday and Satur-

• Taco Star

503 E. 84th Ave. in Thornton, a short drive east of I-25

day night, according to the diner’s webpage.

Other than that, though, 24hour options in the metro area tend to be con ned to chains that aren’t local, such as IHOP, Denny’s, McDonald’s or Wa e House.

e trend of restaurant headwinds during the pandemic applies to the entire industry, not just 24-hour restaurants, said Denise Mickelsen, a spokesperson for the Colorado Restaurant Association.

“Operations are proving increasingly di cult in the face of the ongoing labor shortage and soaring costs, causing restaurant owners and operators to make changes that include decreasing operating hours,” Mickelsen said.

‘All walks of life’

Bishop, the owner of the north-

ern Tamale Kitchen locations, has felt the challenges himself. His Westminster location used to o er some 24-hour service like the Northglenn spot, but sta ng issues led to shortened hours starting around spring 2020, he said.

ough they can be tough to operate, Bishop, 38, said 24hour restaurants serve di erent parts of a community.

“ ere’s still 11 p.m. (movie) showings, so people going home at 1 or 2. We get a lot of nightshift workers, people who are going to work at 4 in the morning, a lot of construction workers bringing burritos to their coworkers,” Bishop said.

“It’s a little mixed — people of all walks of life going out for entertainment, getting o of work late. Just a variety of di erent people out and about.”

Everybody hates Hamlet at Miners Alley

COMING ATTRACTIONS

To be or not to be… bored by the ramblings of a certain prince of Denmark is a question one need not face when going to see the hilarious new entry in Miners Alley Playhouse’s season, “I Hate Hamlet.”

The real question is whether you can relate to an someone struggling with feeling like a failure and searching for the brief moments when things just seem to gel. Which really could be anybody.

“What drew me to this production is how honest it is. It’s hilarious and big, but it also has so much heart,” wrote John Hauser, who plays the show’s lead, in an email interview. “So many artists deal with the same things that Andrew goes through, feelings of inadequacy, imposter syndrome, but also those feelings of being in the moment and owning a role, even if only for a brief moment.”

“I Hate Hamlet” runs at Miners Alley, 1224 Washington Ave., from Friday, March 31 through Sunday, April 23. Performances are at 7:30 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

The show tells the story of Andrew Rally (Hauser), a daytime television actor whose show has recently been canceled. He is cast

in a production of Shakespeare in the Park as Hamlet but isn’t sure he can pull the character off, but when he is visited by the ghost of former Hamlet performer John Barrymore, things get a little more complicated.

“It is really a quirky, witty script that moves along nicely,” said director Rory Pierce. “In addition to how funny and smart it is, there’s a swashbuckling sword fight and just enough Shakespeare to whet your appetite, but not enough to put you asleep.”

While the show does have some inside jokes and references that fans of The Bard will no doubt enjoy, Pierce said knowledge of the playwright’s canon isn’t a prerequisite to having a good time at the show.

“If audiences go away in a better mood than they arrived in and had an evening of fun and laughter, that’s what we’re aiming for,” Pierce said. “We also hope that they’ll have a slightly better appreciation of the work that goes into performing and a greater appreciation of the theater.”

While there are laughs aplenty, as is always the case with a Miners Alley production, everyone has their sights firmly set on the humanity of the story being told.

“This show is unique in the way that it can be so wild and over the top, but also so genuine and honest at the same time,” Hauser wrote. “I hope audiences leave with a smile on their face.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — The Wonder Years at Summit Music Hall

Hearing the name The Wonder Years probably makes most people think of the golden years of their youth (or a late 1980s sitcom about the golden years of youth). Pennsylvania’s band of the same name can certainly pull at the heartstrings, but the indie rock favorites accomplish this by blending aching and searching lyricism with emo-indebted rocky stylings.

In support of 2022’s “The Hum Goes on Forever,” they’ll be stopping by Summit Music Hall , 1902 Blake St. in Denver, at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 28. Joining them are the wonderful alt-rock group Hot Mulligan. Get a ticket at www.livenation.com.

Education funding

Caty Husbands, a member of the Englewood Schools Board of Education, raised a question about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, also called IDEA, which is a federal law that ensures a free public education to eligible students with disabilities.

According to the National Center for Learning Disabilities, Congress promised to cover 40% of the extra cost of special education when IDEA was passed.

“Unfortunately, Congress has never come close to fulfilling that promise,” the national center said on its website. “The federal government is only covering 14.6% of the additional cost.”

For Englewood Schools, Husbands said each year they dedicate roughly $2 million out of the general fund to pay the federal mandate.

“Where do you stand on the bill in the house as far as the full funding of IDEA?” Husbands asked.

The IDEA Full Funding Act was introduced in November 2021 in both the house and the senate.

“Under the 1975 IDEA legislation, the federal government committed to pay 40% of the average per pupil expenditure for special education,” according to a news release from the office of U.S. Rep Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania. “The IDEA Full Funding Act would require regular increases in IDEA spending to finally meet our commitment to America’s children and schools.”

Crow is among the more than 130 co-sponsors listed on the proposed house bill.

“My position is the same, it hasn’t changed. I support full funding,” Crow said. “I’ll continue to push in the appropriations process for that. I think that’s in the best interest of our children, I think that’s in the best interest of the school district and the taxpayer.”

Husbands asked Crow if he had any thoughts on why U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper have signed on to the senate bill. Crow said he will communicate to them why he supports it and ask them to do the same.

Centennial Airport

Audra Dubler, a leader of Quiet Skies Over Arapahoe County, focused her question on concerns about the Centennial Airport.

The Quiet Skies organization is a group of residents advocating for changes to be made to address safety and noise concerns at Centennial Airport. For months, they have been attending meetings to raise concerns about increased air traffic, noise and lead pollution impacting residents, specifically those living north of Arapahoe Road.

Dubler thanked Crow for issuing a letter in December, along with Bennet and Hickenlooper, that encouraged the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to attend the airport’s monthly community meetings in person.

Although the FAA had representation both in person and virtually at the February meeting, it did not have any representation at the March meeting.

“Our community is suffering,”

Dubler said. “The noise is so debilitating. There’s about 600 training flights a day, 500 feet over our homes.”

“The question being: How are you going to help? What is that timeline?” she asked Crow. “We’re just suffering and we need you more than ever.”

Crow noted there were a number of people in attendance from the Quiet Skies chapter, saying they have been wonderful partners. He also noted he is not happy.

He said he has a “long history of not being happy with the FAA,” explaining that there was a lack of engagement with the community when the FAA implemented NextGen around 2018 over the Denver International Airport.

“If you are a civil servant, a public servant, you show up and you listen to people. And they’re not doing it and I’m pretty pissed, frankly,” Crow said. “The FAA reauthorization is up this year, so we do have leverage, right? The budget’s coming up and they need our money.”

Crow said he will work with Bennet and Hickenlooper to see how they can make the FAA engage in a productive way. He is not sure what the timeline will be, however.

“I’m going to do everything possible to try to hold their feet to the fire,” he said.

Water concerns

One resident described Englewood’s water quality as “not stellar” and said an issue the city faces is the levels of man-made chemicals in its water treatment plant.

In February, the city announced that the levels of chemicals called PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) are above the Environmental Protection Agency’s newest interim health advisory levels.

Specifically, the levels of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), which are PFAS compounds, tested above the new interim advisory levels.

The city, which supplies drinking water to approximately 57,000 people, said on its website there is not an immediate public health risk and people do not need to stop drinking their water.

However, exposure to low concentrations of these chemicals over time can cause health effects, said Pieter Van Ry, director of the Englewood Utilities Department and the South Platte Renew, during a Jan. 23 city council special meeting.

“These are forever chemicals,” Van Ry said, explaining the chemicals date back to the 1940s and were used in materials such as firefighting foam, non-stick cookware and carpets.

Although these chemicals were widely used for many years, in the 2000s, concern about the potential health risk of these chemicals grew when PFOA and PFOS were detected in human blood, according to the EPA.

“Since that time, hundreds of different PFAS have been found in water, soil, and air,” the EPA’s website states. “Many PFAS are made up of long chains of carbon-fluorine bonds, such as PFOA and PFOS, are environmentally persistent, bioaccumulative, and remain in human bodies for a long time.”

Most uses of PFOA and PFOS were voluntarily phased out by United States manufacturers in the mid-

2000s, according to the EPA, but the chemicals remain in the environment due to their lack of degradation.

The resident asked Crow what resources the federal government is able to provide in addressing this issue.

On a national level, Crow said that the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill will help repair water lines and address some of the issues with PFOA and PFOS.

“Our water infrastructure, much like our electrical grid and our telecommunications grid, is aging, is not keeping up with the needs. And it’s causing a real health concern,” Crow said.

Crow said he has supported legislative efforts to ban the use of these forever chemicals and to make sure those chemicals are out of the water supply and ecosystem.

One way these chemicals get into the ecosystem is through firefighting foam at places like airports.

“And we’re trying to ban that through the National Defense Authorization Act, the DOD (Department of Defense) budget,” Crow said.

A 2022 study conducted by Westwater Hydrology LLC reported that PFAS pollution in Sand Creek and the South Platte River is connected, in part, to the Suncor refinery.

Crow said he is working with U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, who he said has jurisdiction over that facility, to “make sure we’re holding them accountable,” as well as the state and the governor to address any regulatory issues and “force them to clean up their act, essentially.”

“With regard to Englewood, I’ll work with the city leadership. We have a meeting coming up with them soon, actually, with the mayor and the council to talk about specific needs.

“One of the things that I’m able to do, there’s a program called the Community Project Funding, CPF funds, and I can actually put in specific requests for large funding to address specific infrastructure needs of communities,” he said. “In fact, I was able to get almost $4 million for the City of Aurora last year to help them replace an aging … waterline.”

If there is a similar need in Englewood, he said he can work with the city to submit a request.

Veterans’ mental health

Crow is a former Army Ranger who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He said he is proud to now be serving as the Democratic co-chair of the bipartisan veterans’ caucus called the For Country Caucus.

When one resident, named David, took the microphone to ask a question, he thanked Crow for his service. Then, he became emotional as he spoke of his son.

“He served in Afghanistan as well, came home and separated and did not get the support he needed, and ended his life by suicide,” he said. “What more can we do to help our veterans and reduce this epidemic of suicide that’s going on today?”

“David, I’m — I’m very, very sorry you had to go through that,” Crow responded. “I also have lost friends to suicide. We’re losing about 19 veterans a day, actually, due to suicide.”

According to the 2022 National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report, in 2020, there were 6,146 veteran suicide deaths — an average

of 16.8 per day. The suicide rate for veterans in 2020 was roughly 57.3% greater than for non-veteran U.S. adults, per the report.

“There’s a crisis also, in particular, with our most recent veterans, and we saw a spike in suicide and mental health crisis with the collapse of Afghanistan,” Crow said. “A lot of vets, me included, struggled with what that meant, what our service meant and what we did over the last 20 years.”

In 2021, the U.S. withdrew the last of its troops from Afghanistan, resulting in the Taliban regaining control of the country and a refugee crisis as many Afghans fled, according to the Pew Research Center.

To his fellow veterans, Crow said that if they struggle with the meaning of their service and how things ended, remember there is a big difference between the individual service of veterans and the politics and policy decisions surrounding those conflicts.

“For the vets who raised their right hand and have served honorably and done their job, you should be proud of that service because you did your job,” Crow said.

“When somebody raises their right hand and takes that up, they are pledging to give up to their life, if necessary, for this country. Some of them do it in service,” Crow said before then taking a pause.

“And some of them do it after their service,” he continued, his voice starting to break. “They carry that pain with them. And those are numbers that aren’t included in the casualty count — but your son’s service matters and is noticed. And because of that, I believe we just need to be all in on our veterans’ benefits, on our support services, in our funding.”

Crow said that is why he supported the PACT Act, a bill that expands health care and benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxic substances.

He also supported increasing funding for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, also called the VA, while also supporting increased oversight and accountability of the VA, Crow said.

“And that’s why I also developed and came up with a bill called the Veterans’ Sentinel Act, and what this bill of mine does is would actually force the VA to start collecting data on veteran suicide on VA campuses.

“Because what we know is a lot of veterans — and this is a hard thing to say, it’s a hard thing to talk about — a lot of veterans actually take their lives at VA centers because they know that (if) they do that, that they’ll be taken care of. Let that sink in for a minute,” Crow said.

The VA, however, does not keep data on this and does not track why it happens, how the VA responds and how they’re trying to prevent it.

“I am pushing to force the VA to do some simple things and to give us data as policymakers to be better about it,” Crow said.

There are also things people in the community can do to help veterans, namely being better about the way that people discuss the veterans’ experience, he said.

“We’re really good at thanking people for their service, tying yellow ribbons around trees, doing flyovers at NFL games. But … we are ter-

CROW

rible, we are awful as a society at sitting down and engaging with our veterans and sharing their burden,” Crow said.

He encouraged people to ask veterans what they did in their service, what burdens they carry and how they can share that burden.

“When we ask our men and women to go and ght on our behalf or do something on our behalf, that shouldn’t be their burden to bear alone,” he said.

ere is a 24/7, con dential crisis support line for veterans that can be contacted by dialing 988 and then pressing 1. People can also text 838255 or chat online at veteranscrisisline.net. e crisis line serves veterans, service members, national guard and reserve members and people who support them.

Importance of collaboration

Crow, who is entering his fth year in Congress, said it has been a “crazy, tumultuous four years.”

“It’s been a wild time, there’s been nothing normal about any of it. But it’s truly been the pleasure, the honor of my life to do this work, and to represent all of you and to represent

Colorado during one of our most challenging times,” he said.

e challenges facing the country are more complicated than they’ve ever been, Crow said, adding that he does not have all the answers.

“I believe in this notion of servant leadership, which means that, you know, no one man or woman has all the answers. But if you can work together as a community, with a collaborative approach, we can all learn, and we can all advocate together,” he said.

“We’re not always going to agree,” he added. “But you’re always gonna know where I stand and why I stand that way. And I will always keep an open mind. And if you convince me otherwise, I’ll change my position … because I’m learning too.”

e promise of the U.S. and of the community, he said, is that people treat one another with civility and respect, keep an open mind, show up for respectful conversations and try to nd answers together.

“ at is the only path forward,” he said. “ at is the way that I’m gonna conduct myself in this job so long as I’m in this position and I have the honor to represent you all.”

The Board is a seven-member governing, policymaking board. The Board is responsible for a $43 million budget, nine facilities, and the policies for funding and operating these facilities.

New Trustees are recommended by the Board and confirmed by the Arapahoe County Board of County Commissioners and the Deer Trail School District Board of Education, the two governmental entities that formed the District in 1966.

The time commitment for Trustees is substantial.

The Board meets on the third Tuesday of every month beginning at 5:30 p.m. (dates and times are occasionally changed.) Meetings are scheduled on a rotating basis at the various District libraries. In addition to the 2-4 hours of reading to prepare for each meeting, trustees must also commit to attending some library events, study sessions, and occasional workshops, conferences and related meetings. An iPad will be provided for Board reading material.

Besides your time and interest in the Library, the most important qualification is a sincere commitment to provide the best possible library service to the residents of the entire District. Experience interpreting financial statements is also encouraged. Applicants must live within the Arapahoe Library District service area to serve on the board. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals to perform the functions of the volunteer position.
