Englewood council opposes land use bill

Resolution passes 5-2

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e City of Englewood has ocially joined the list of municipalities that have passed resolutions oppos-

ing Colorado Senate Bill 23-213, a proposed land-use overhaul.

e state legislation, introduced in late March, aims to address Colorado’s housing issues by increasing residential density. According to authors of the bill, a primary goal is stopping communities from exclusionary zoning that prohibits the

construction of multifamily housing.

Some municipalities — such as the cities of Lone Tree, Centennial, Westminster, Castle Rock and Broom eld — have passed resolutions opposing the bill, with many citing concerns about the preemption of local control.

A look at property taxes supporting South Suburban Increases, costs examined

On May 2, South Suburban Parks and Recreation district residents will elect two board members to the district’s fivemember board of directors.

As part of its responsibilities in governing the district, the board sets the annual budget, which includes setting mill levies.

South Suburban, which formed in 1959, is a regional provider of parks and recreation services.

Thirty-nine percent of the district’s funding comes from property taxes, communications manager Becky Grubb wrote in an email to Colorado Community Media.

Englewood council shelves idea of multiplexes in single-family zoning

Will review ADUs

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Following months of conversation and several tense town hall meetings, the Englewood City Council has decided to no longer pursue two-to-four-unit multifamily buildings in single-family zoning, the city announced Tuesday.

At the April 17 city council meeting, the council members agreed to inde nitely end the conversation of potentially permitting two-to-fourunit buildings in R-1 zone districts, which are areas that have residential one-dwelling units, also known as single-family homes.

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

e council had considered allowing for two-to-four-unit buildings 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 was more a ordable.

Some Englewood residents voiced support of the idea, creating the website yimbyenglewood.org. Other residents voiced opposition and also created a website, called stopenglewoodopoly.com.

On April 3, the city council decided to temporarily suspend the

consideration of the inclusion of multifamily development types and standards within the city’s R-1 residential zone districts, in light of the proposed Colorado Senate Bill 23-213, a statewide measure calling for increased density.

“I think in the communications that we’ve done with the city to date, it has been delaying our conversation of R-1 until after we know what the state is going to do,” said Councilmember Chelsea Nunnenkamp.

“I think, regardless of what the state does, we don’t move forward with that,” she said. “And so I do support inde nitely ending the conversation on R-1.”

Mayor Othoniel Sierra said that in meeting with di erent groups of people in the city, residents have brought di erent ideas about how the city can increase density without a ecting the R-1 areas.

Sierra said his takeaway was that there should be some incremental changes made before the council starts making changes within the R-1 areas in terms of multifamily developments.

Councilmember Joe Anderson said he lost interest in the consideration when the city’s hired consultants suggested that the area median income (AMI) cuto for the morea ordable unit in each multiplex be set to 100% AMI rather than 80% AMI.

“Really, that really lost a lot of my interest in it at that point, and that was the point at which we … broke that o from the rest of CodeNext

and then delayed it,” Anderson said, adding that he thinks removing this from consideration is best.

“I don’t think it’s gonna give us the level of a ordability that we had hoped, especially once that a ordability requirement was raised up to 100% AMI,” he said. “So I’m supportive of that suggestion and then just to — removing that inde nitely and continuing on with CodeNext, to conclude that process without that piece in it is appropriate.”

Nunnenkamp noted that the council is still in the drafting phase of the CodeNext project. rough the meetings she has had with residents, she said a question that has been raised is: What is the city’s overall housing plan?

“We need a more thoughtful, proactive, strategic plan for all of the housing in the city rather than trying

to just start with code. It feels like we almost went a little out of order,” she said.

Nunnenkamp asked the council members if they would support establishing a housing task force and creating a strategic plan on housing.  e council supported the idea, and the city announced on its Facebook page that the council will be “pursuing a comprehensive housing plan for the city with the appointment of an a ordable housing task force guiding the work over the next several months.”

Councilmember Rita Russell asked the councilmembers for support in removing the accessory dwelling unit (ADU) changes being considered in R-1 zone districts as part of CodeNext.

A large crowd of residents gathered for the March 2 town hall regarding Englewood CodeNext.

How failed banks impact investors

It can be very unsettling to hear of a bank failure such as Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) last month. Investors may wonder how they should react or if they should adjust their portfolios.

First, a little history lesson to put this into perspective.

When depositors rush to get their money out of a bank that is nancially in trouble, it is called a “run” on the bank. ese are not new and have occurred at di erent levels of severity in the past, the worst in the 1930s during the Great Depression. At that time, there was contagion across many banks, not our current situation. While bank insolvency can often come on the heels of the Federal Reserve Board raising interest rates, that is not solely the cause, according to Mariner Wealth Advisors Chief

Economist William Greiner.

Each bank must manage the risk of lending, investing, cash deposits and withdrawals. If any or all of those are out of balance, problems start to percolate. When you have high-risk loans, such as technology start-ups, and you are short on liquidity (more withdrawals than deposits), and the investments backing the deposits decline in value, you have a recipe for failure.

Many banks issue loans on real estate or other business collateral.

ey may also use Treasuries to back up deposits. When the Fed raises interest rates, and the value of those Treasury bonds declines, bankers may need to sell at a loss to cover withdrawals. Once this spiral starts, or collateral is devalued due to bad loans, depositors may demand their money causing a run on the bank.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell remained concerned about in ation when he testi ed before Congress in March. is drove interest rate expectations higher after several interest rate hikes over the last three

units in more districts.

“I would like to take ADUs o of the table right now and in the R-1 district as far as CodeNext is concerned,” Russell said.

quarters. is downward pressure on bond values and concerns the bank would need to raise capital, caused some technology-focused venture capital companies to remove funds from SVB.

It was very fortunate that a contagion was avoided, as the U.S. government response was swift and e ective. Once the facts were released and average depositors realized they were not involved in a bank that does high-risk lending, some of the pressures eased.

Investors will likely review their portfolio to make sure they are not invested in small banks in the venture capital space or have heavy exposure to commercial real estate.

ey may also avoid banks that have not had proper risk management or oversight. ese things created a perfect storm scenario for SVB. It may be wise to stay with large institutions commonly known as “too big to fail” due to their backing by the Fed. Large banks may actually benet from depositors moving money to them from small banks in amounts

However, the rest of the council favored still considering the accessory dwelling unit changes as part of CodeNext.

not covered by the $250,000 limit for FDIC insurance.

Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey in “It’s a Wonderful Life” was able to instill trust in his customers to survive a run on his bank during the Great Depression. In real life during that time, the Emergency Banking Act of 1933 formed the Federal Deposit Insurance known as FDIC. ese days you don’t really run to your bank and can click to manage transactions on your phone. It is not recommended to keep large deposits in any one institution, just as you would not put all of your investments in one individual stock. Work with your wealth advisor to determine the right amount to leave in the bank, which is usually designed for transactions or emergency reserves, not large sums that could be working harder for you elsewhere.

Patricia Kummer has been a Certied Financial Planner professional and a duciary for over 35 years and is managing director for Mariner Wealth Advisors.

According to the CodeNext website, Englewood’s Uni ed Development Code Steering Committee has discussed reducing barriers and accommodating accessory dwelling

Mayor Pro Tem Steve Ward agreed, saying, “I think it’s very closely aligned with the R-1 density changes, and so I would favor punting that ball to a later date.”

“I think the reason that ADUs are di erent than R-1 is because we actually have taken (an) incremental approach on this,” Nunnenkamp said. “We have a historical standard, we passed an ordinance a few years ago,

we tested it out. We’ve learned a lot since then, we’ve realized that the ordinance probably isn’t working very well. And now we’re ready to take the next incremental step for our city.”

Looking ahead, Sierra said he thinks there should be additional discussion regarding what the potential accessory dwelling unit changes may look like.

Two therapy dogs join Arapahoe County Sheri ’s O ce

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e sound of applause, laughter and puppies barking echoed at the Arapahoe County Sheri ’s O ce as Sheri Tyler Brown swore in two new school therapy puppies, Otis and Bear.

Otis, an 8-week-old black Labrador, will work alongside Deputy Drew Matthews, a school resource o cer who works at Byers and Deer Trail schools.

Bear, an 8-week-old chocolate Labrador, is teamed up with Deputy Candace Gray, a school resource o cer at Cherry Creek Academy. Starting next school year, the pair will divide their time between all the Cherry Creek Schools in Centennial and unincorporated Arapahoe County.

“ is puts us at ve therapy dogs

that are connected to our school resource o cers, which is amazing. And they voluntarily take this on,” Brown said during the April 20 swearing-in ceremony.

e other therapy dogs include Rex and Zeke, who work in Littleton Public Schools, and Riley, who works in Cherry Creek Schools.

“I want to thank Cherry Creek Schools, and Deer Trail and Byers, and Littleton Schools for … their willingness to jump into this program with us and seeing the bene ts,” Brown said.

Tom Turrell, the superintendent of the Byers School District 32-J, said he can’t share his support enough.

“Out of both Byers and Deer Trail, we work hand-in-hand in many, many projects, and this opportunity for our kids is over the top,” Turrell said. “It’s fantastic for us and it’s going to be fantastic for our kids and our sta alike.”

Matthews, who has worked with the Arapahoe County Sheri ’s O ce

for 13 years, spoke of the value Otis will bring to the schools.

“Being out in Byers and Deer Trail, they don’t have all the amenities some schools in town have, and I thought it was a great opportunity to have a dog out there for the kids,” he said.

“Just having the dog, it’s amazing how it just opens up kids. ey don’t really think they’re talking to a cop,” he added.

In addition to keeping students safe, he said a school resource o cer should be engaged in the school and connecting with students.

“I am there for the community and the school to serve them, and so is Otis,” Matthews said.

While Otis is the rst school therapy dog for Byers and Deer Trail, Bear is Cherry Creek Schools’ second therapy dog.

Jason Koenig, the chief information o cer for Cherry Creek Schools, said the school district appreciates the partnership with Arapahoe County Sheri ’s O ce.

“To watch the dogs go into schools — whether it’s sta or students that are struggling — it is amazing to see when they walk in, everything calms down,” Koenig said. “ ey really just help the sta and students.”

Gray wanted to become a K-9 handler because she got to see rsthand the impact it had on the community and schools. Her husband, Arapahoe County Sheri Deputy John Gray, is the K-9 handler for Rex, the agency’s rst-ever therapy dog.

“I knew I had to do it,” she said, highlighting the value of the program. “Not only will the dogs do therapy but eventually, down the road, they’ll be trained in some sort of scent work to provide safety and security to our schools as well.”

Gray, who has worked at the agency for 16 years, is the rst woman to be a K-9 handler in the history of the Arapahoe County Sheri ’s O ce, which she said is exciting and provides a good in uence for younger generations.

“I just look forward to working with the community and in a positive way,” she said.

e agency’s therapy dog program originated from deputies who wanted to expand their roles and how they provide service to students, Brown said.

“ e world that we live in makes it di cult sometimes for them (students) to go to school. And then, having police o cers there brings up di erent anxieties,” Brown said. “And ways that we can bridge that gap are through therapy dogs.”

e impact the therapy dogs have is immediate and long-lasting, he said.

“I think the biggest thing that our therapy dog program does is they’re trained therapy dogs that deal with mental health issues,” he added.

“ ey lower anxiety inside the school building and around having law enforcement o cers present in a school.”

e agency’s overall school resource o cer program is designed so that the o cers become members of their speci c school community, Brown said.

“And it really comes down to trust,” he said. “Trust is what makes communities thrive, and that’s what our goal is — is to make sure that we’ve instilled trust in the community.

“ at our deputies are there to deal with everything, whether it’s just a bad day of a student waking up and not wanting to go to school, to making sure that that school building is safe to conduct educational operations everyday.”

He wants the community to know that the sheri ’s o ce is not only an enforcement arm.

“We provide so much more to our community, whether it be mental health services with our co-responders, whether it be mental health with our therapy dogs, and whether it’s just somebody that you need to talk to,” Brown said.

“We’re here as a community resource, not just an enforcement of laws.”

TWIN DRAGON

taking a call. “ is one’s crying. I can see Joe’s even having tears. ey love us.”

On April 30, after 47 years of owning and running one of Englewood’s most-beloved Chinese restaurants, Shiou will be retiring. With her retirement, the Twin Dragon will close its doors in a community that has steadfastly supported and enjoyed the restaurant and the relationships built there over the years.

Path to the Twin Dragon

Shiou’s father, a peasant farmer in China, ed to what is now North Korea during World War II. Shortly after that, Shiou’s family was forced to ee again to what is now South Korea, where Shiou grew up. She attended college in Taiwan, where she studied education and history, and later earned a master’s degree in business from a university in Japan.

“Her whole dream was to go west into the land of opportunity, a beacon of freedom and opportunity and enrichment in the United States,” Joe said.

She was granted a student visa to study at the University of Denver and, once in Colorado, started working at the Twin Dragon as a server. When the owner had to move back to Hong Kong, he saw potential in Shiou.

“ e owner sees … that my mom is hardworking and honest and looking for opportunity and gave her the

opportunity to sell her the business,” Joe said.

For a highly-educated woman, Shiou said moving into the restaurant business was a bit frustrating, as it felt like it brought her down a level. Working in the restaurant business, no matter how many other skills a person may have, is a common experience for many Asian Americans, Joe said.

“My mother had a master’s degree from Japan before even immigrating here,” he said. “But, you know, the opportunity really is in entrepreneurship, due to barriers of entry back then — and my mother’s female and Chinese … she’s not gonna get some big corporate gig or something like that.”

“When we talk to other people about their experience, it’s amazing, like you go back one generation — even super successful families — and they worked at a restaurant their rst six months coming to the United States,” Joe continued. “Because there was some sense of community, there was some sense of support and some familiarity.”

Over time, Shiou began to fall in love with the restaurant business. Instead of being just a job, the Twin Dragon became her community after spending so much of her life feeling like an outsider in the places she lived.

“I enjoy it,” she said. “I talk to the people, I really do enjoy it … I feel all those years (before coming to the U.S.), I had no roots.”

But over the past 47 years, her roots have grown deep.

“Sometimes she describes it as, she felt like (an) outsider in every com-

munity,” Joe said. “And now she feels like she belongs.”

A community hub

During its tenure on South Broadway in Englewood, the Twin Dragon has served as a meeting place for many local groups and even visitors from out of state and country.

“I love the people,” Shiou said. “We do help the community a lot, you know, we do a lot of things in this restaurant.”

Regulars from the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce and the Lions Club frequented the restaurant, Shiou said. In addition, VIPs from Taiwan have enjoyed Shiou’s o -menu “real Chinese food” (as opposed to the mainly Americanized menu) at the back corner table.

“I cooked for two days for them, just for them,” Shiou said.

She has fed ambassadors, members of the U.S. Department of Transportation and Denver Broncos players meeting their families after games.

Shiou also puts extra e ort into supporting the Asian American community in Englewood. During the pandemic, she and her sta organized community outreach events, like delivering meals to the hospital, to bring the community together to combat Asian hate. ey also host Chinese New Year and other parties for the community.

“I think people come for the food, rst and foremost, but I think keep coming back maybe for relationship and community,” Joe said.

Onto what’s next

Shiou, who has spent most of her life working 10 hours a day, seven days a week, said she is looking forward to traveling during her retirement. She hopes to return to South Korea, Taiwan and Japan to visit the places she grew up and went to school.

“ en, maybe (I’ll) try to write a book,” she said, adding that it would be about her life.

As she looks forward to a break, many loyal customers are heartbroken to see the restaurant close.

“I’m very sad about it, I really am,” said Colleen Binder, turning to Shiou. “I’ve lived here for 50 years and this

is where we go for Chinese food. But I think it’s necessary, and you’ve worked hard, and you’ve made this what it is.”

Brian Hart, whose father and stepmother were engaged at the Twin Dragon in 1982, said he was also sad to see the restaurant close.

As a neighboring small business owner of Frame de Art, just down the street, Hart said he hopes whoever moves into the restaurant’s space will be good neighbors.

“I’ve had a lot of meetings here over the years and you guys have been a big supporter of the chamber and so many community events,” he said to Joe. “As a small business owner just on the same block … I hope it’s something that’s good, that can be great neighbors.”

Although he is not sure exactly what the new business will be, Joe said another Chinese family will take over the space and will likely operate something similar to the Twin Dragon.

After many years of bringing the Englewood community together, Joe said he and his mother are excited to be a part of the community in new ways.

“We’ll go to other people’s parties,” he said. “We never have time to go to other people’s parties … at’ll be a weird feeling, you know, because even during parties, we feel like we’re working.”

Shiou, who continued to answer the phone and bring out food as she answered questions, had to pause a few moments to let her emotions pass.

“My mom genuinely feels like she lived her American dream here because of (the Englewood community),” Joe said. “And their acceptance and support and relationship and love.”

But after almost 50 years of service, Joe and the Twin Dragon’s loyal customers all agree: Shiou deserves some time to relax and enjoy her life.

e Twin Dragon’s last day in business will be April 30. To celebrate, the family will host a goodbye party from 1 until 4 p.m. on April 29 in the restaurant at 3021 S. Broadway, where customers and neighbors can drop in and share their appreciation for the establishment.

Shiou Je erson and her son, Joe Je erson, say the Twin Dragon has both served and become a beautiful community in Englewood over the years.

How much do you pay South Suburban?

South Suburban residents currently pay about $8.43 in tax to the district per $1,000 of assessed property value, according to the district’s 2023 budget. This number has increased by a few cents over recent years, with taxpayers paying about $8.37 in 2020, $8.39 in 2021 and $8.40 in 2022.

In November 2019, voters approved Ballot Issue 7A, which authorized the district to adjust its mill levy rate up or down beginning in 2021 and annually thereafter without voter approval.

These adjustments can be made to help offset revenue losses resulting from state-mandated property tax assessment rate reductions, as previously reported by CCM.

Colorado’s residential property tax assessment rate fell to 6.95% from 7.15% in 2021 for property other than muti-family residential property, according to the Colorado General Assembly’s website. The Gallagher Amendment adjusts residential property tax rates downward over time.

Grubb wrote that the higher mill levies do not mean the district is increasing its revenue – instead, the adjusted rates are to prevent a reduction in revenue from previous years. She said recent mill levy increases have been due to the increase in abatements from the counties.

The district’s mill levies are set through a process that begins in

July each year and includes three to six public study sessions, as well as three public hearings at the district’s board meetings, Grubb wrote.

Financial transparency and responsibility

At an April 12 forum, candidate Elizabeth Watson said financial transparency would be one of her main goals if elected.

“I am asking for your vote so that I can be transparent with our information, which includes putting financial information on the back page of the catalogs,” she said.

“There is absolutely no reason that South Suburban in-district people should be guessing at how much they paid in taxes. They should absolutely know.”

Recent annual tax rate information can be found at https:// go.boarddocs.com/co/ssprd/ Board.nsf/vpublic?open and some older tax rate information is available at https://www.ssprd.org/ Reports-Audits-Budgets.

Candidate John Priddy also mentioned financial transparency in his Q&A for CCM.

“Without a doubt, there are improvements we can make to engage a broader electorate about the elections, taxes and the business of the SSPRD district,” Priddy wrote.

In their Q&As, other candidates, including Michael Edwards, Alexis Barrere and Pam Eller mentioned reponsible tax dollar investment and being good stewards of taxpayers’ money.

All ballots for the board of directors election must be cast by 7 p.m. on May 2, either through mail, a drop-off box or in-person.

Englewood residents aim to recall 4 councilmembers

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A group of Englewood residents has led petitions seeking to recall four of the seven members of the city council, a resident announced April 17 during a city council meeting.

Resident Kurt Suppes spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting and said that a group of registered voters in the city led petitions with the city clerk earlier that day seeking to recall Mayor Othoniel Sierra and Councilmembers Joe Anderson, Chelsea Nunnenkamp and Cheryl Wink — the four councilmembers who had been open to the possibility of allowing some multifamily development in traditional “R-1” single-family zoning areas.

e petition language had been submitted but not yet approved.

“We consider these four councilmembers to be derelict in their duties and representing their constituencies for the following reasons: ignoring legitimate concerns continually raised by Englewood residents regarding the zoning changes contemplated by CodeNext,” Suppes said.

“ is includes introducing multiplex housing into R-1 neighborhoods and allowing proli c use of ADUs (accessory dwelling units) throughout the city along with the … short-term rental options,” he added.

What is CodeNext?

CodeNext 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.

ere had been a variety of di erent changes under consideration through CodeNext, including potentially adjusting parking requirements as well as reducing barriers and accommodating accessory dwelling units in more districts, according to the city’s website.

It appeared one of the most controversial CodeNext considerations was the possibility of allowing twoto-four-unit multiplex dwellings in R-1 zone districts.

R-1 zone districts represent areas that have residential one-dwelling units, also known as single-family homes.

One of the ideas the council considered as part of CodeNext was allowing for two-to-four-unit buildings 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 was more a ordable.

However, on April 3, the city council decided to temporarily suspend

the consideration of the inclusion of multifamily development types and standards within the city’s R-1 residential zone districts, in light of the proposed Colorado Senate Bill 23-213 — and by the end of Monday’s Englewood meeting, there was a council consensus to shelve the consideration of R-1 changes pending a housing study and likely task force.

‘Intend to pursue action vigorously Suppes said one of the concerns some residents have is inadequate infrastructure and nancial resources necessary to support increased density.

“Secondly, the inevitable, obvious, signi cant negative economic and environmental impact to both homeowners and renters,” he said.

“ ird, irreparable generational damage to the city’s established neighborhoods.”

e fourth concern he named was “favorable voting for high-density housing projects negatively impacting adjacent neighborhoods.”

“ ese councilmembers have consistently portended that these changes will somehow preserve and protect the charm and beauty of our city, yet they refuse to conduct … impact studies including tra c, water, sewage, environmental, child safety, construction, noise and interference, just to name a few which

would indicate otherwise,” Suppes said.

Suppes said the four councilmembers have “failed to address the rampant crime and drug problems that persist in the city.” e group of residents are also concerned about “issues with scal management.” All of which, he said, contributes to “ongoing civic and economic instability.”

“ ese council members have demonstrated a consistent lack of consideration for the livelihood and opinions of the people they represent, choosing instead to pursue their own personal agendas,” Suppes said. “We intend to pursue this action vigorously.”

The mayor responds

In response to Suppes’ public comment, Sierra began by saying he appreciated Suppes bringing attention to the situation.

“Are you aware that we have not — we’ve only discussed, we actually haven’t passed anything regarding CodeNext?” Sierra asked Suppes.

“I’m aware of that. I understand that,” Suppes said. “But … the continual pursuit of it … with the ADUs and everything else, so.”

“So discussing an item that is a major issue in the city, you feel we’ve gone too far with that discussion?” Sierra asked. “A major issue that is occurring within the city is housing. And so you’ve felt we’ve gone too far with that issue today?”

“Yes,” Suppes said.  Sierra continued: “You’ve also mentioned some other items in terms of crime, you know, nancial.

ere are seven of us that actually pass, you know, our budget as well as make decisions regarding crime. Is there a reason why there’s only four of us instead of all seven of us?

We act as a body when we pass the budget and we pass, you know …”

“I’m aware of all that,” Suppes said. “I’m fully aware. We all are.”

Sierra thanked Suppes for his time and asked the other councilmembers if anyone else had questions, to which there were none.

What is the recall process?

According to the Englewood Home Rule Charter, any elected o cer of the city may be recalled after holding o ce for six months.

To initiate a recall, one or more registered voters who are eligible to vote for the successor of the person they want to recall needs to le an a davit with the city clerk stating the reasons for the recall.

Within 48 hours of the a davit being led, the city clerk will mail a copy to the subject of the recall. at person can le a statement in defense of the charges made against them.

e city clerk will authorize a petition for recall of the elected o cer, and this petition may be circulated and signed by registered Englewood voters “who would be entitled to vote for the successor of the incumbent sought to be recalled,” according to the charter.

e petition must be signed by registered voters who are eligible to vote for the o ce in question, and the number of signatures must equal at least 25% of the voters who voted in the last general election for that o ce.

e recall petition has to have enough signatures and be led within 60 days after it was authorized. If this happens, the council will set a date for a recall election to be held within the next 60-120 days after ling of the recall petition.

If the majority of voters support recalling the o cer, the o ce will become vacant and will be lled through another election within the next 60-120 days.

Politics above all

The Douglas County School District recently settled a yearlong battle with former superintendent Corey Wise. e district agreed to pay more than $800,000 to settle the legal dispute Wise led shortly after being red without cause in early 2022.

I am not going to rehash how and why he was red. I think those discussions have been extensive. However, I will talk about a statement Wise made in concluding the battle. Wise told reporters he hoped the settlement would push more school districts and boards to stop putting politics ahead of students.

I doubt if the message he is pushing can even be considered in today’s political world. I would bet I’m not alone in thinking that political views have invaded every aspect of our lives — the toxic problem is not just about our students.

I will start with students and schools. No one can say politics are not in our schools. One could argue that school boards are more about politics than ever.

Look at the Elizabeth School District. Board members resigned even though all of them had conservative political views. However, fear and rumors brought the makeup of the elected board down.

In Douglas County, several of the current board members received voter support because they promised to be against mask mandates during the COVID-19 shutdowns.

Gone are the days where school boards are looking at test scores and seeing what measures need to be taken to improve reading and math scores. Instead, it’s the trigger words that lead to battles over critical race theory, social-emotional learning and masks.

As a parent, I want an emphasis placed on reading, writing, math and good student-to-teacher ratios. All the shouting, bickering and politics has me agreeing with the parents who pull their kids out of public schools for home schooling or other options.

Wise’s point goes far beyond schools. Political bickering from our two major parties has gone to extremes that most Americans are sick of.

Political ghting prevents this country’s lawmakers from compromising to produce sensible legislation in key areas. Homelessness, a ordable housing, in ation, crime — all of these need focus and attention.

However, one side will introduce legislation only to have the other vehemently hate it. Compromise may happen in some areas — but it’s rare.

Our lawmakers are threatened by party leaders from voting for bills introduced by the other side. Sensible gun control should be discussed and debated. What is good for this country? What might stop some of these mass shootings?

However, it won’t happen because every time a tragedy takes place the left screams gun control while the right barks about the Second Amendment. What if they came together, talked and discussed true solutions?

In the end, “politics” is like slime, spreading all over, leaving residue, stains and permanent marks that will never be resolved without true e ort.

Bring your own ...

We all know what BYOB means right? It’s a restaurant that doesn’t serve alcohol, so the BYOB means bring your own booze. We love those establishments that have a full bar, great wines, and specialty cocktails. And when the food is as good or better than the booze, all the better. But we also love those restaurants that require us to bring our own booze. Maybe it’s because they couldn’t get a liquor license, or maybe they prefer to focus on their passion for the food they cook, and either way, they are still a BYOB.

What if we thought about this in other areas of life? Even if we aren’t a restauranteur, or even if we are, we face other situations and opportunities in life that require us to bring something else to the game in order to achieve success. What if we thought about changing BYOB to BYOK, bring your own kindness? Or BYOS, bring your own strength. Perhaps it’s BYOP, bring your own peace. As you read this you could probably ll in the blank with, bring your own compassion, grace, awesomeness, courage, hope, or any other positive, encouraging, and a rming word.

So, let’s tackle a few, shall we?

TAYLER SHAW Community Editor tshaw@coloradocommunitymedia.com

BYOK, bring your own kindness. As I did some research for this column, asking people what they wished the world would bring if they had to bring their own anything, kindness was the number one word. ose I spoke with and others who responded to a survey shared that the ugliness and negativity of the world had them wishing that the world could be a little kinder, well actually, a lot kinder. One respondent was so convicted of this that she felt that, “If we could all just show up with kindness every day, we could actually have a greater impact on the world than climate change e orts, economic shifts, and voting in the right candidate for president.”

BYOS, bring your own strength. Sometimes life deals us a bad or di cult hand. Sometimes we nd ourselves in a season of life where we succumb to our weaknesses, or we see the situation as too much for us to handle; Illness, divorce, addiction, or death in our circle of family and friends, and so many other horrible life events that can cause us to cave. BYOS means that we nd our inner strength, and if we don’t have that strength or can’t nd that strength, we need to BYOS, bring the strength of others who come alongside us, just when we need them the most.

BYOP, bring your own peace. Wow, could this be the most proli c of all BYO’s? In the agitated

against the resolution. Both said while they do not support the bill in its current form, they would rather the city adopt an “amend” position rather than opposition.

“I wish that we were coming to the table with solutions of how to make this bill better,” Nunnenkamp said.

“I will say on the record and emphatically, I do not support this bill in its current form. But I also do believe … whether we like it or not, it’s going to pass. And I would like Englewood to be part of the solution and I would prefer that we’d take an ‘amend’ position and bring our ideas,” she added.

Nunnenkamp said she is currently working with state legislators on the changes she would like to see in the bill, as she has some “grave concerns” about what is in it currently.

Anderson said he is in a similar position as Nunnenkamp. He does not support the current bill and has concerns regarding its impact on local control.

“I have problems with the bill, not only, you know, with some of the aspects of the land use but also some of the contract preemptions that come into play with regards to the disallowance for private property owners to enter into contracts to put covenants on their property and form HOAs (homeowners associations),” Anderson said.

“It’s an anti-freedom of free association, I believe,” he continued. “But I do think it’s prudent to look for a way to amend this bill to enter into that conversation.”

world that nds us reading news about road rage, random violence, wars, school or community shootings, or any other topic that drives a wedge between humanity, peace is the most desired of human emotions right now. We live in a world of violence on TV, in the movies, in video games, and it’s all tolerated or worse, accepted as the norm of the world in which we live. BYOP, bring your own peace, this means we can own how we react or respond to each and every news feed or situation we nd ourselves in with peace. You get the point, right?

Anderson said some people have raised concerns that voting no on the resolution would be “a violation of some oath of o ce or something like that.” e councilmember said he he does not feel it is going against his duties by taking an “amend” approach.

Mayor Pro Tem Steve Ward said the section of the Colorado constitution that covers home rule is Article 20, Section 6, noting that it contains 45 pages of case law where courts have weighed in and likely will in this situation as well.

“Personally, I’d like to see this bill killed,” Ward said. “But I believe there’s probably a future discussion about how the City of Englewood feels about the inevitable litigation that will occur, should this bill pass.”

Councilmember Jim Woodward was not in favor of taking an ‘amend’ position.

“To me, it’s home rule, which is just way overstepping. e state is way overstepping on this, and that’s the main issue,” he said.

Home rule is a form of governing that is “de ned by the citizens of a municipality or county that allows for more control over matters of local signi cance,” according to the Legislative Council Sta , the nonpartisan research and support service agency for the Colorado General Assembly.

Voters in a municipality can decide to adopt home rule and detail the structure and powers of the local government, per the Legislative Council Sta .

“I cannot quite get to a point where I see us getting what we want by the amendment, but moving in that direction … in principle, it

And if it’s peace, please keep it. And if it is any other quality or trait that can have a positive impact on our world, please share it. I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@ gmail.com and when we can decide which BYO to live, it really will be a better than good life.

makes every bit of sense to me. And so, I would rather vote tonight with member Woodward,” said Councilmember Cheryl Wink.

When Councilmember Rita Russell explained she would vote in support of the resolution, she said, “And I believe if you happen to be taking the stance of amending this — you are not sitting on the state legislature, you are sitting on the Englewood City Council. And I would like to remind you of that.”

Russell said the council’s job is to represent the best interests of the citizens in Englewood.

Mayor Othoniel Sierra said the city council has been having conversations regarding its CodeNext project, which is an e ort to update Englewood’s Uni ed Development Code, and that he questions whether this bill is “intended for last resort.”

“And what I mean by that is, I know exactly what it is that we should be looking to do within Englewood in order to increase density in the right areas, but from the state perspective, it seems … they’re providing this blanket statement that all cities should be doing something exactly the same. And I just don’t agree with that,” he said.

Sierra said he would like to take an ‘amend’ position to keep home rule and local control, while continuing to have discussions with the state

about how it can help Englewood increase a ordability and attainability.

“I think this is more of a nuanced conversation and we should be having more of an ‘amend’ position. But without having that, I think I would just be in favor of just moving forward with the resolution as stated and go from there,” Sierra said.

“But I’m hoping that we could continue having conversations with the state for something that makes more sense for Englewood, regardless of which way it goes. I’m not convinced that it’s gonna pass but, you know, it is what it is,” he added.

Local foragers teach students to cook with wild foods

ere some see weeds, Erica Davis sees ingredients for delicious soups and salads.

“In urban areas, there are a lot of plants that we call weeds that spring up everywhere, that are widely available to people, that are edible and good,” she said.

Foraging is the act of gathering wild plants from nature, generally to be used for food, and sometimes to make other products. For Davis and other foragers, spring means plants are starting to grow –which means kitchens will soon be full of wild foods ready to be prepared in creative

Across the Front Range and in the mountains, several foragers share their knowledge through cooking classes based on

Why cook with wild food?

Davis, who runs a blog called Wild Food Girl, has upcoming classes in Ramah and Fairplay. Her Arvada class this spring has

“I think one of the biggest challenges with edible wild plants is that people don’t always know how to prepare them,” she said. “We all know how to cook spinach, we all know how to make broccoli — but we don’t all know how to cook tumble mustard so that it tastes good. So in my classes, I like to give students that experience of preparing an edible wild plant — or three — in a way that I think they are going to Davis’ classes begin with an hourlong plant walk where students learn the names of plants and safety and sustainability guidelines for foraging. Afterward, she teaches them how to prepare several of the plants they have for-

In the spring, dandelions and wild mustard greens are common staples in her

“People sometimes picture foraging as going out into the forest and picking plants

— and that’s part of it — but I would really encourage people to learn the weeds and make use of them,” she said. “A lot of them are non-native species, so there really aren’t as many ecological considerations with picking them.”

Davis teaches her students to make dandelion green soup from a recipe passed down by an Italian relative. Musk mustard is great in salads, and tumble mustard and field pennycress are fun to ferment, she said.

Beyond the creative and flavorful uses of foraged foods, research from 2019 suggests that wild edible greens harvested in urban areas can be abundant and highly nutritious. The study dubbed wild edible plants “open-source food.”

“This idea that open-source food is out there for anybody to eat and make use of — and then furthermore, it’s organic, it’s free, it’s fresh — I just think that’s a great concept,” Davis said.

Safety precautions

Despite their affordability and freshness, wild plants are not all safe to eat. Crystal Baldwin, who teaches wild plant-based classes at her Golden business, Earth Sweet Boutique, said it’s always important to triple-check plants before you eat them.

“I don’t like to frighten people away from… foraged foods because there’s a lot of very safe ones,” Baldwin said. “But I like them to be aware that there are dangerous, poisonous ones that will kill you, and so it’s important to kind of have an idea of what those might be and what to look out for.”

Baldwin encourages those interested in foraging to start by taking classes, working with local experts and reading about which plants are safe to eat.

She also said it’s important to check if plants are near old buildings that could be contributing lead to soil or if plants have been sprayed with pesticides.

WEEDS

‘Part of human history’

In addition to cooking, Baldwin said wild foods can be used to make skincare products, tinctures, infused honey, medicines and more.

“There’s many different things you can do with foraged foods, and the great thing about it is that we have tons of free, wonderful, wild foods here in Colorado,” she said.

Some of Baldwin’s favorite plants to forage are pine and conifer needles, which are high in vitamin C. She uses the needles to make a simple syrup that she drinks with seltzer water and fresh lemon.

“It’s extremely refreshing and has a lot of minerals, so it’s very hydrating in the summertime when it’s hot,” she said. When foraging, it’s important to do so in a way that does not damage plants or plant populations, Baldwin said. When gathering pine needles, for example, she takes about an inch or two from each branch and moves around to different branches so as to not damage the plant.

Davis agreed that sustainability is an important part of foraging process, and it’s something foragers need to be mindful of in order to do correctly.

“Sometimes people think ‘Foraging must be bad for the environment because you’re picking the plants!’ But I think the actual truth is much more nuanced than that,” she said. “Foraging is part of human history, I mean, we have been foraging since time immemorial, and we can do it in ways that don’t harm the plant populations if we’re mindful.”

Beyond freshness and accessibility, Davis said foraging offers health benefits and a range of flavors that are not available in grocery stores.

And perhaps best of all, wild food offers a way to get close to nature.

“For me, also, they o er a connection to nature,” Davis said. “ ey invite time spent outdoors, getting to know plants, working with my hands.”

Davis has available spots in her classes in Ramah and Fairplay this spring and summer. Her classes can be found at https://wildfoodgirl.com/ wfg-events/.

On her webpage, people who want to learn more about foraging can also sign up for the Colorado foragers email list.

In May, Baldwin is hosting a wild food cooking class at her shop, taught by veteran forager Wendy Petty. Students can sign up at https:// earthsweetboutique. com/products/wild-foragedfood-cooking-class and see future classes at https:// earthsweetboutique.com/ pages/classes-events.

Artists run with theme of ‘Performances’

Festive show is now on display at Stanton Gallery

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Performances,” the recently opened exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery in Littleton, o ers a cool picture of the artists’ imagination when given a theme ... Lyrics, a memory, bursts of color that look like musical tones to me, photos of animals that appear to be performing, costumed dancers, abstract bursts of form and is collection, juried by Dan Oakleaf, almost creates a swirl of sound in one’s head, just from looking for a while! And, this looks to me like a great exhibit to take a child to: Make up a few stories about what’s happening inside the frames! Maybe do a little dance in the gallery! is seems to be a particularly festive exhibit, which will run until the Western Welcome Week exhibit is installed in early August.

It’s a ne location to nd a gift if you have an upcoming wedding, birthday person or graduate in the family! ese works are all small to mediumsized, in assorted mediums and techniques, glowing with color or more subtle, if that’s what

e First Place winner, “Splintered Forms” by Judith Bennett, is described as “a hand-painted collage, in acrylics and ink.” It really dances in front of a viewer, suggesting constant motion! And the precise shapes speak of an artist’s skill and control over her medium.

Juror Oakleaf said this was a really di cult show to judge — excellent work is the norm here.

He is a Colorado native, whose website works show a close tie

As does photographer William Knoll, with his warbling meadowlark, “Singing With Heart,” and pair of crested ducks who

appear to be warbling a duet.

Another photo with a real sense of humor is Carl Paulson’s da y dancing crane: “Doing the Hokey Pokey.” It’s a “don’t miss,” on the left wall as you enter. Some works are inspired by lyrics, while others picture performers, such as Peggy Dietz’s “Traditional Tlingit Dancer,” who is very much in motion as we stand in front of her colorful, carefully composed photograph. Another Native American portrait is Pat Hartman’s subtle “Tribal Pride,” showing an elder in ceremonial dress.

Sally Van Der Kamp’s glass panel, “In the Limelight,” catches lights in the room and glows, while Merrie Wicks’ “Calypso” dances in its frame. Sue Williams takes us traveling with her sunny “Montmarte Art Market,” where I thought I heard music in the background ...

e Depot Art Gallery, also lled with Littleton Fine Art Guild member’s artwork, has a show that runs through April 30: “ e Great Outdoors.” Two short member pop-up shows will follow, then on May 16, the 61st Anniversary Show will open at the Depot.

e Depot, which is owned by the City of Littleton, courtesy of the late Varian Ashbaugh, became the Guild’s home in 1976, with aid from a grant honoring a U.S. birthday. Members, and their families, scrubbed and painted the old Santa Fe Depot, which had sat unused in Bega Park for a period, until it was moved to the present Powers Avenue site by Ashbaugh, a businessman who sculpted in his spare time.

Exhibits change often and prospective members are encouraged to inquire about joining this active group.

e Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main Street in downtown Littleton, is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and during performances.

e Depot Art Gallery, 2069 W. Powers Ave. in downtown Littleton, is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.

Judith Bennett’s “Splintered Forms” is in the “Performance” exhibit at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center, where the hand-painted collage took first place.

Huskies’ baseball season hits headwinds

teams this season.

However, Douglas County so far has not been as good as expected.

BY JIM BENTON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

It has been a stressful season for the Douglas County High School baseball team.

Armed with eight players who have committed to play college baseball, the Huskies were predicted to be one of Colorado’s top Class 5A

e Huskies lost their fourth straight game on April 17 with a 3-1 Continental League loss to Regis Jesuit at Regis.

“It’s been frustrating this year for sure,” said Douglas County coach Craig Gienger.

“We’re going to keep grinding and keep after it and see where we come out.”

In the rst 11 games, the Huskies were hitting .277 as a team and left 80 runners

on base for an average of 7.3 per game. Douglas County had 41 runs batted in or an average of 3.7 per game which is below the national average.

“When you get the opportunities you have to convert them,” said Gienger. “ at’s been the story of our season. We can’t get the key hit when we need it.”

Douglas County had a couple good chances to score runs besides the one run it managed in the sixth inning in the the Regis game. e Huskies loaded the

bases in the rst with one out but didn’t score. In the seventh, the Huskies had a walk and two singles but had a runner thrown out at the plate and failed to score.

“ e Regis game was frustrating,” added Gienger. “I felt like we had a chance at the end but couldn’t execute.”

Finley Bates, who will play next season at San Diego State, went 3-for-4 against Regis and also pitched a scoreless sixth inning.

Douglas County starter Max Stanley, a BYU commit,

pitched ve innings, scattered six hits and allowed two earned runs.

“Max Stanley did a fantastic job,” said Gienger. “He keeps us in the games. He did a great job and made pitches when he had to. He threw one slider that got out of here. And Finley Bates coming in too. He did a fantastic job.

“We can still make some noise. We’ll see what we can do.”

SkyView girls kick soccer up a notch

Hawks top state poll

BY JIM BENTON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

SkyView Academy’s girls soccer team has been talking a lot this season, not to other teams but to themselves.

e Hawks are 9-0 and ranked second in the April 17 CHSAANow.com state poll behind top-ranked Denver Christian, a team that SkyView beat 3-2 on April 13.

“We’ve just talked about it as a team from the start

of the season, making sure we take care of each other, continue to battle each and every moment and making plays for each other,” said coach Hannah Sunberg. “If we are doing that, then we can add in the other tactical and technical pieces that we need as we go. We need those things to have success.”

One of the hardest thing for us was being a team,” she continued. “We’re not perfect at it but we’re striving for that and de nitely trying to do that.We have some seniors and upperclassmen on the team who believe in this and younger players who are

willing to buy into it.” rough 11 matches, freshman Maggie Barrett has 16 goals and four assists for 36 points

“As a whole we have an amazing team but Maggie is certainly a phenomenal athlete and soccer player,” said Sunberg. “One thing that really stands out is her play on both sides of the ball. She certainly makes players around her better and works really hard to make plays for her team.

“Her ability to win 50-50 balls stands out. She makes the team around her better. But it’s not one player, it takes all of them.”

Sophomore Ellie Reynolds leads the team with 40 points with 15 goals and 10 assists. Junior Hailey Gunderson has ve goals and two assists while junior Keira Hayat has ve goals and an assist.

Sunberg also praised the team’s fullbacks and senior goalkeeper Ekko Hopkins.

“You have to have hot offense and defense,” added Sunberg. “Ekko has had some key saves for us.”

Skyview Academy is now in the Class AA Mile High East League after playing in the 3A Metro League for past eight seasons.

“ ere’s competition on

every level,” said Sunberg. “In soccer or any sport on any given day, anything can happen. We talk that each game the other team has a shot. We have to play our game.

“We’ve talked about being humble and continuing to work towards that and to build ourselves into being the best team we can be. We just have to continue to commit to taking care of our teammates and making plays for each other and not getting caught up of being nervous or putting pressure on ourselves, playing for each moment and then seeing what happens.”

Senior center elder Hayden Osburn had one hit in the game against Regis and stated that there is still time to recover.

“It’s been frustrating but we can do better,“ said Osburn. “We can still turn it around. We’ve got the guys.”

Experts discuss fentanyl facts

Crisis worsens

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As part of Douglas County’s Youth Initiative Facts about Fentanyl discussion, Lindsey Simbeye, an external relations strategist for Colorado Consortium for Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention explained how opioids such as fentanyl work in the body and how to reverse an overdose.

Both illicitly manufactured fentanyl and pharmaceutical fentanyl are considered synthetic opioids. It is often used in labor and delivery, for acute pain situations and for end of life measures for pain suppression.

Fentanyl goes into the system quickly and lasts for 30 to 60 minutes. It is also up to 50 times stronger than heroin and up to 100 times stronger than morphine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

e body has opioid receptors all throughout and when a person takes an opioid, it binds to those receptors and transfers information to di erent systems throughout the body, such as the limbic and central nervous system.

When the opioid a ects the limbic system, it is a ecting the brain reward system, which causes the euphoric feeling. Opioids chemically connect to the central nervous system which a ect the automated body responses within the brainstem and can suppress the respiratory system, causing the overdose.

Tolerance builds quickly to the euphoria and to the pain, said Simbeye. e respiratory depression tolerance does not build as quickly, which is what makes opioids so fatal or so potentially fatal when they’re being misused or used in excess.

“ e latest I’ve heard is that an

average dose for someone who is in active use for fentanyl, they can be using anywhere from 20 to 50 pills a day, that is purely so they can survive throughout the day and stave o withdrawal symptoms,” said Simbeye.

e long-term e ects of using can include irritability, hallucinations, hypoxia, anxiety, depression and hyperalgesia, which is an increased response to pain.

ere are also additional factors that increase the risk of an opioid overdose such as poor health, purchasing from the black market, history of substance use disorder and using di erent sources of drugs, according to Simbeye.

However, recent discharge from incarceration or any kind of institutionalization for previous users increases their chance for an overdose if they choose to use again as their tolerance for the drug decreases.

“ ey may not recognize that their tolerance has decreased and they are likely to use at the same amount that they used before going into that institutional setting,” said Simbeye.

“

ey are highly susceptible to overdosing because now their respiratory system doesn’t have the same high tolerance and it’s going to be overwhelmed and suppressed to the point of not breathing.”

e other high risk factor is taking opioids in combination with any other drug, speci cally benzodiazepines, Valium and Xanax for example. Any kind of anti-anxiety drug combined with opioids is 10 times more likely to have an overdose because of how the drugs interact with one another, said Simbeye.

ree indicative signs of an overdose are shallow or slow breathing, also known as the “death rattle”, lips and nails turning blue and loss of consciousness.

In the event that an individual is overdosing, it is important to under-

stand how to administer Naloxone if it is with you. According to Simbeye, Naloxone is the umbrella category for all di erent name brand medicines such as Narcan and Kloxxado.

When administering a nasal pump, provide support to the back of the neck and insert the pump in the nostril up to the ngertips and plunge.

If the patient is still unresponsive after two to three minutes, rub your knuckles up and down on their breastbone while applying pressure.

It is important to call 911 and stay with the individual until help arrives.

If the individual is still not responsive and a second nasal pump is available, administer the second spray in the opposite nostril, Simbeye said.

When Naloxone goes into the body, it knocks the opioid o the receptor and due to its strong bond, it continues to block the receptors and

“ e Naloxone only lasts 30 to 90 minutes, so if you have a longer acting opioid that you’ve consumed, you could overdose again once the Naloxone wears o without using anymore opioids,” said Simbeye.

Once the individual is breathing, place them in the recovery position.

According to the Good Samaritan Law, a person is immune from arrest and prosecution if the person reports in good faith to a law enforcement o cer if there is an emergency concerning an overdose, the person remains on the scene and cooperates. e immunity also extends to the individual who su ered the emergency.  Additional resources include Bring Naloxone Home, keepthepartysafe. org, and Take Meds Seriously.
