Nonprofit seeks to save historic Littleton barn Even if it gets designation, site’s future is uncertain

BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As developers eye demolition of a 104-year-old barn just south of Santa Fe

Drive and Mineral Avenue, a Littleton-based nonprofit has filed an application with the city to protect it.

Gail Keeley, president of Historic Littleton Inc, which is “dedicated to preserving the historical and architectural heritage of the greater Littleton area,” said the barn offers a connection to the city’s agricultural roots and needs saving.

The site was determined eligible by the Colorado Department of Transportation for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places during a 2004 survey, though no steps were ever taken to obtain historic designation, Keeley said.

“What do we have left in Littleton that says we were an agricultural community?

We don’t have too much

else,” Keeley said.

Constructed in 1918, the barn also features unique architecture, according to Keeley, with a “bank barn” design that provides ground access to both the upper and lower levels of the barn.

But its conditions are poor according to Toll Brothers, the nation’s fifth-largest home builder, which is forging ahead with plans

Council shows appetite for adopting inclusionary housing

Mayor, city officials champion past year of work The state of Littleton is “pretty darn good,” said Mayor Kyle Schlachter before an audience May 4 that included Littleton city and school district staff, Arapahoe County commissioners and various community leaders.

Schlachter kicked off the 2022 State of the City, held at the Ashley Ridge wedding venue, with an optimistic tone for the city’s future.

“The opportunities ahead are just fantastic and amazing and I’m looking forward to seeing what the next year brings to Littleton,” Schlachter said.

The morning assembly gave officials an opportunity to tout some of the most impactful city-wide

to redevelop the site and its surrounding vacant land with hundreds of housing units and more than 30,000 square feet of commercial space.

Mandates, incentives discussed at work session

Littleton City Council appears poised to adopt an inclusionary housing ordinance to promote the building of more affordable housing in the city, though when a vote could come is unclear.

Council members, during a May 3 study session, discussed various policies the city could adopt to both mandate and incentivize developers to include more below market-rate rental units and for-sale homes in their proposals.

Briefly In Littleton Let nesting geese be Many concerned residents have contacted the Littleton Police Department regarding nesting geese in the city. In an online statement, the police department said residents should give the mom, dad and the geese eggs space.

Geese normally only nest for about a month and then move on, so it is best to let them be.

The department also warns residents not to feed the geese and if anyone has safety concerns to contact Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

Rep. Jason Crow talks veterans’ health care, Russia, economy Boosting manufacturing amid supply chain issues is a priority

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Issues both local and global weighed on U.S. Rep. Jason Crow’s mind when he held an online and telephone town hall event to answer questions from the public.

Those issues included his concerns with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, an act Crow called “illegal and just atrocious.”

“One of the things we’ve seen with Putin’s (war) is how much we really rely on dictators and autocrats and strongmen around the world for our energy. It has to stop,” said Crow, who represents a large part of the south, east and north Denver metro area in Congress.

He was proud to support a bill that prevents the United States from purchasing Russian oil, he said.

On April 8, President Joe Biden signed the Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act, a law that prohibits the importation of energy products from the Russian Federation, along with another law that suspends normal trade relations with the Russian Federation, according to a White House news release.

During Crow’s April 25 town hall, the House member also discussed

efforts to bolster U.S. manufacturing, fill health-care staff shortages for veterans and address concerns about anti-Asian racism.

Crow represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District, an area shaped like a backwards C, whose largest city is Aurora. The district also includes south metro suburbs such as Centennial, Littleton and Highlands Ranch, and to the north, Brighton and part of Thornton.

Here’s a look at what Crow, a Democrat of Centennial, said during the event and what bills he has been supporting.

Make it in America One of the biggest problems the nation is facing regarding inflation is a “workforce shortage,” but supply chain issues also play a role, Crow said.

Microchips — a part used in making many types of electronic devices — are a product that the U.S. relies on Asia to provide, and a slowdown in production has caused economic problems, Crow said.

Some lawmakers want to “bring back manufacturing to the United States” with a proposal called the America COMPETES Act of 2022, Crow said.

Referred to in full as the Creating Opportunities for Manufacturing Pre-Eminence in Technology and Economic Strength Act, the proposal aims to make new investments to accelerate U.S. production of semiconductor chips and “strengthen the supply chain to make more goods

in America,” according to a summary provided by a spokesperson for Crow.

The bill would “re-onshore that manufacturing,” Crow said.

While it wouldn’t literally remove manufacturing jobs from other countries and replace them with jobs in the U.S., it would encourage more job creation in American manufacturing, according to Kaylin Dines, a spokesperson for Crow.

Taking care of veterans A member of the public asked Crow during the town hall about the health care system under the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, known as the VA. “As a veteran myself, this is something that I take very personally,” Crow said. He added: “One of the biggest issues right now with the VA is the lack of staff within the VA health care system.”

In May 2021, Crow was one of the members of Congress who introduced bipartisan legislation — the Veterans Improved Access to Care Act — to address hiring shortages in the VA, according to a news release.

The bill “would create pilot programs around the country to cut the red tape and speed up the hiring and onboarding of medical professionals,” Crow said during the town hall.

Economic opportunities Another question centered on what a caller described as an economic gap experienced by minorityowned businesses.

Crow was among a bipartisan group of congressmembers in December 2020 who introduced the Next Generation Entrepreneur Corps Act, a proposal to spur new business and job creation in “underserved communities,” according to a news release.

The bill aims to identify talented entrepreneurs through a national competition and directly support the creation of more than 320 new businesses each year, the release on Crow’s website said.

“There’s nothing that will make our economy healthier, frankly, than making sure we’re growing small businesses but doing it in an equi-

table way and making sure everyone in our community can access that,” Crow said during the town hall.

Hate against Asian Americans A caller told Crow about an instance of anti-Asian racism they experienced at a grocery store and how it affected them. Crow pointed to an “anti-Asian hate surge” that the House member said stems from “irresponsible and hateful rhetoric” surrounding the origins of COVID-19.

Crow expressed support for a bill signed by Biden to attempt to address the issue of hate crimes.

“You can always count on me to stand up against hateful rhetoric,” Crow said.

Following overwhelming support from both chambers of Congress, Biden signed legislation in response to hate crimes that have occurred during the coronavirus pandemic — with emphasis on violence against Asian Americans, according to a National Public Radio story in May 2021.

The legislation — the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act — aims to make the reporting of hate crimes more accessible at the local and state levels by boosting public outreach and ensuring reporting resources are available online in multiple languages, according to NPR’s story.

The act also directs the Department of Justice to designate a person to expedite the review of hate crimes related to COVID-19 and authorizes grants to state and local governments to conduct crimereduction programs to prevent and respond to hate crimes, NPR reported.

An organization named Stop AAPI Hate has said it recorded 6,603 reports of hate incidents from March 2020 to March 2021, according to a summary report by the organization. “AAPI” is a term for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

Of the selected couple dozen incidents for which Stop AAPI Hate included quotes in the summary report from people who experienced the incidents, several of them allegedly were related to mentions of COVID.

Arapahoe County mental health program making strides Thousands of contacts made in first years

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When a man in a rural part of Arapahoe County called 911 for help during a mental health crisis, he asked for a sheriff’s deputy to take him to a facility that could treat his condition.

But when the deputy patted the man down, he found the man had brass knuckles — a prohibited weapon — and the man received a ticket.

The man, who has a wife and kids and had served in the military, was facing jail time. But the staff at the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office reached out to the right officials and gave the man a referral to mental health services, and his criminal charge was eventually dismissed.

“That was a really good story we recently had,” said Julie Jacobs, manager for the sheriff’s office’s Behavioral Health Response Program. Jacobs said the story is about an east Arapahoe County man, who spent about three months going back and forth with the court system earlier this year.

Deputies can’t ignore evidence of a crime, Jacobs said, but the mental health staff at the sheriff’s office tries to put the focus on getting help for people in mental health crisis instead of putting them on a path to jail.

That staff includes a team of mental health “coresponders” who react to 911 calls alongside deputies to handle mental health-related situations with the delicate nature they sometimes require. The sheriff’s office started its coresponder program in October 2019, and it has made thousands of contacts since then, according to the sheriff’s office.

Coresponders will never ask deputies not to charge an individual with a crime when it goes against policies or state law, according to Ginger Delgado, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office. But not all crimes are “mandatory arrest” situations, Delgado said in a statement.

A person can be “diverted” away from jail if a deputy determines that the person can be released with a court summons or pending charges, according to Delgado.

“If we can legally and ethically and morally keep them in the community to get the (mental health) services, that’s what we want to do,” said Jacobs, who oversees the coresponder program.

Coresponders are clinicians who have their own unmarked vehicles with a partition in the back so they can transport people to emergency rooms, crisis walk-in centers, or other treatment facilities — or they can provide transportation to other locations when appropriate, according to the sheriff’s office.

That approach allows the team to avoid using ambulances, which would require a bill to families, Jacobs said. What’s more, the coresponders can handle situations without placing people in handcuffs.

“We’ve been called out to some schools before as well. What’s bet-

Flags fly at the Arapahoe County Administration Building.

ter for a 15- (or) 16-year-old kid? To be put in handcuffs and put in a police vehicle?” Jacobs said, adding, “We’re not making them feel like they did something wrong.”

Since the start of October 2019, the coresponder program has had nearly 4,200 contacts, according to the sheriff’s office.

In 2021, just over 41% of all calls for service that a coresponder assisted with were not seen as mental health-related when the call was initially placed to 911 or a non-emergency line, according to Delgado’s statement.

Examples of calls not related to mental health can include verbal disturbances, physical disturbances and trespassing, according to the office.

Coresponders can respond to any type of call except death investigations or other violent crimes where an arrest is mandatory and a “significant criminal investigation” is needed, Delgado’s statement said.

The types of crime for which the coresponder team is not allowed to “divert” people include domestic violence charges and other crimes of violence, according to the office.

But even if an arrest is required, the coresponder can still provide information — such as whether the person may be at risk for suicide or whether they need medications — to the county jail’s medical staff, according to Jacobs.

People who have contact with the program who are not arrested may be treated on scene if they do not request to be taken to a mental health treatment facility for a voluntary assessment — or if they do not meet criteria for what’s called an “M1 hold,” according to the office.

Under Colorado law, when a person appears to be an imminent danger to others or to themselves due to a mental health disorder, the person can be taken into custody and placed in a mental health treatment facility for an up to 72-hour treatment and evaluation.

Whether that “M1,” or mental health, hold takes 72 hours is up to

the physician in charge — it could take five hours, Jacobs said, depending on the situation.

In 2021, the sheriff’s office wrote roughly 500 mental health holds, according to Jacobs. In 2020, the number was about the same.

But the rate at which the office authorized mental health holds in those years was different. In 2020, the number of overall mental health contacts coresponders were involved with was 1,645. And that was when the team was operating with, at the most, three coresponders, Jacobs said.

In 2021, the number of contacts was much higher: about 2,400 mental health contacts. So proportionally, the office wrote less holds in 2021 than in the prior year, a change that goes toward one of the goals of the coresponder program, Jacobs said.

“We want to make sure we’re providing the most appropriate level of care. An emergency room at a hospital” might not be best, Jacobs said.

The program tries to take people to “designated mental health facilities” if possible, and it can be beneficial if the program can get people to go to a walk-in center, she added.

Out of the nearly 4,200 calls since the program began, there were only 88 individuals arrested on scene for warrants and new charges, according to the office.

But it’s important to note that the coresponder program’s implementation came shortly before the coronavirus pandemic reached Colorado, a change that resulted in the county needing to modify the requirements for who is placed in jail, along with courts changing procedures, Delgado’s statement said.

“Many charges that a person — mentally ill or not — would generally be arrested and detained on prior to COVID-19 were released on a summons,” Delgado’s statement said. The most recent change to the jail acceptance policy was March 11 this year.

On that date, the sheriff’s office lowered the jail placement criteria so that crimes that result in $1,000

bonds and above would place a suspect in jail, according to Carl Anderson, an administrative manager with the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. Allowing for more suspects to be put in jail is a reaction to the spread of COVID and COVID-related hospitalizations having recently come down at the time, according to Anderson.

(In late April, Colorado Community Media asked the sheriff’s office how many of the nearly 4,200 coresponder-involved calls resulted in writing someone a ticket for an alleged law violation. The office’s records unit said it was still working on the question as of May 2.)

When a coresponder is unavailable to respond to a call, deputies can fill out a referral form for mental health staff to later follow up with the person who needed help.

At the start of the coresponder program, the sheriff’s office contracted with AllHealth Network and was assigned one part-time clinician, or coresponder, until a contract was signed in January 2020.

AllHealth Network is a nonprofit mental health organization that provides counseling, psychiatry, crisis services, substance use treatment, and other services and has locations in Littleton and elsewhere in the south Denver metro area.

The program had three coresponders and one case manager starting at that time, Jacobs said.

In January 2021, AllHealth Network and the sheriff’s office decided against resigning a contract, and with the support of the Centennial City Council and Arapahoe County Commissioners, the sheriff’s office brought the program “in house,” according to the sheriff’s office.

Three of the current coresponders are former AllHealth employees who chose to come over and work for the program “in house” — meaning they’re now employed by the sheriff’s office — and the sheriff’s office hired its other two current coresponders in October through an external job posting, Jacobs said.

Colorado Democrats aim to quickly pass property tax relief Push aimed at heading off ballot measure from business group, conservatives

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

The debate over how to tackle rising property taxes is poised to dominate the final days of Colorado’s 2022 legislative session, as Gov. Jared Polis, Democratic lawmakers and Colorado Concern, a deep-pocketed business organization, hastily negotiate a plan to provide relief that’s sufficient but that doesn’t also deny local governments billions in future funding.

With just two weeks left in the lawmaking term, the high-stakes conversations, which have been happening behind the scenes for months, are getting more intense.

Polis and Democrats are trying to quickly introduce and pass property tax reduction legislation to head off a 2022 ballot measure from Colorado Concern, a nonprofit that represents the interests of the state’s top business executives, that would permanently cap property tax increases.

While everyone generally agrees that something needs to be done to reduce Coloradans’ property tax tabs, there is a wide chasm when it comes to how and how much. As of Tuesday, the policy details of the deal were still very much in flux.

The legislation could come in many different forms, including a property valuation rate reduction.

Lawmakers have also set aside $200 million for property tax relief, but it’s unclear how they would spend it.

It appears any deal would only be temporary, lasting as few as two years, as both sides work toward finding a long-term solution.

“There are a lot of cooks in the kitchen,” said Senate President Steve Fenberg. “We just need to get (the bill) right before we introduce it.”

Asked if there were any specific options on the table, Fenberg didn’t directly answer, only saying that Democratic leadership at the Capitol is trying to figure out the policy

proposal that would “provide the most relief.”

This is the second year of endof-session debate around property taxes — which fund schools — at the Colorado Capitol. In 2021, lawmakers passed an 11th-hour billtemporarily slashing property tax valuation rates and recategorizing properties for taxation purposes in order to blunt the effect of an ultimately unsuccessful ballot measure pushed by conservatives that would have resulted in a much larger property tax cut.

Those involved in the discussions this year have said they are essentially negotiating under threat: if they don’t pass a property tax relief bill, Colorado Concern could move forward with a measure siphoning as much as $1.3 billion in expected tax revenue from local coffers in its first year.

“It’s kind of an unfortunate way of having conversations about what the proper policy is for moving forward,” said House Speaker Alec Garnett, D-Denver. “It’s not a great way of governing. It’s not the best way of doing business.”

Garnett says he doesn’t see a permanent fix on the horizon, which means it’s possible — if not likely — that the annual property tax debate continues as property values rise and property taxes continue to follow suit.

Colorado Concern, however, sees its proposal — which would cap

property valuation increases at roughly 3% for taxation purposes — as that permanent solution.

“The measure provides critical relief for taxpayers while balancing the needs of local communities who depend on tax revenue to fund essential services,” Mike Kopp, a former state lawmaker who leads Colorado Concern, said in a written statement earlier this year when the proposal was unveiled.

Polis’ office said in a statement Tuesday night that “the governor will continue to partner with the state legislature and local leaders to save Coloradans money.”

Progressives, meanwhile, led by the liberal-leaning Bell Policy Center, are pleading with Democrats this year not to give up too much in their efforts to keep Colorado Concern from moving forward with a ballot measure. They fear a major property tax reduction would spell disaster for school and local government funding.

“Let’s not let Colorado Concern dictate the terms of how we solve this,” said Scott Wasserman, who leads Bell.

Colorado Concern has filed a host of similar proposed ballot measures as it works to determine which to advance. But a poll commissioned by the Bell Policy Center indicated that one of Colorado Concern’s main proposals, Initiative 75, which would cap property value increases at 3% for taxation purposes, lacks

enough support to pass in Novem- i ber. c Fifty-two percent of those polled f said they would vote for the meai sure, while 28% said they would i vote against it and 20% said they f were completely undecided or had no lean whatsoever. Initiative 75 k would need the support of 55% of ( voters to pass since it would amend c the constitution. t Colorado Concern has proposed g other, similar ballot measures that t wouldn’t require a constitutional change and thus could pass with c a simple majority. But the general o rule of thumb for ballot measures p in Colorado is that they only pass c when they poll well above what’s m needed for passage.

“I don’t think they have nearly as y strong a hand as they are publicly u saying they are,” Wasserman said. C The poll also indicated there is i far more support for progressive u property tax relief ballot measure R ideas being pushed by Wasserman, t including one that would enact an C extra tax or fee on homes worth d more than $2 million. But Wasserman doesn’t appear to have the fi financial backing needed to collect a the roughly 125,000 signatures rea quired to get his ideas on the ballot. f “That’s the elephant in the room,” p he said, “isn’t it?”

Looming over the frenzy is Initia- h tive 110, a proposed ballot measure p w filed by conservative fiscal policy activist Michael Fields that would v cap property tax increasesat 2% an- b nually. Fields said he is not part of the negotiations with the governor’s office and Colorado Concern.

“We’re waiting to see what the deal is,” he said.

Lawmakers were slated to be briefed by the governor’s office Tuesday on the latest negotiations with Colorado Concern.

Senate Majority Leader Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, said it’s unlikely a bill will be introduced until early next week.

initiatives of the past year, which include passing a sales tax increase to fund infrastructure projects, approving a new land-use code and making investments with federal dollars from the American Rescue Plan Act. Speaking on the new land-use code, known as the Unified Land Use Code (ULUC), Kathleen Osher, director for community development, celebrated the city’s adoption of new zoning guidelines for the first time in more than 40 years.

“This code is all about what the city wants to see happen. Our previous code was more about what was prohibitive,” Osher said, adding the code will be treated as a “living document” with future refinements.

The city is also rebounding from years of weathering economic uncertainty, partly exacerbated by COVID-19. A city report released in early 2022 showed that sales and use taxes were up from last year.

Retail taxes are up about 24% from the same time last year, according to Cindie Perry, director for economic development.

City staff also said they averted a financial crisis last year when voters approved a sales tax increase, known as Ballot Issue 3A, which will help fund much-needed infrastructure projects over the coming years.

Sean Walsh, a political consultant hired by the city to lead the push to pass 3A, thanked the nine candidates who ran for city council in the November 2021 election for being united behind 3A.

“3A was not a political football,” Walsh said. “All nine candidates ... they were unified on 3A and they carried that message door-to-door.”

Without the sales tax boost, officials projected the city’s infrastructure fund would hit $0 by 2025. With 3A’s passage, the city is estimated to raise about $9 million annually for the fund.

“The passage of something like 3A was really, really important to us as a community,” said Public Works Director Keith Reester, who said having millions on hand will allow the city to match grants for future projects.

Staff spoke on several other initiatives on the horizon for Littleton, such as expanding accessibility by

The city has been undergoing a search process to replace Relph and Schlachter said staff have received 78 applications. Semi-finalists will be interviewed next week, Schlachter said, with a decision “hopefully within a couple weeks.”

Relph, speaking before the crowd, called his tenure a “hell of a ride” and thanked the community for its support.

“Truly the greatest honor of my professional career,” Relph said.

making the city compliant with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and asking voters if they would support creating a lodging tax to pay for arts and culture and establishing a Downtown Development Authority (which only downtown voters would weigh in on).

Other projects include spending $12 million in federal pandemic aid money on a variety of city services, such as the creation of a new book mobile to deliver library books to underserved communities.

Near the end of the address, Mayor Schlachter reminded attendees that City Manager Mark Relph would be retiring in a matter of weeks.

COUNCIL FROM PAGE 1

The issue has long been discussed by council members, who’ve mostly said they acknowledge the growing need for housing within the city.

Most council members who spoke with Colorado Community Media prior to the meeting said some form of an ordinance would likely pass.

“I think everyone on city council would agree there is a need for affordable housing,” said Councilmember At-Large Pam Grove in an email.

Molly Fitzpatrick, a member of Root Policy, a research firm that worked with the city in past years to identify housing needs, joined housing leaders Eric Veith, chair of the city’s housing task force, and Corey Reitz, executive director for South Metro Housing Options, in laying out their proposals to council.

Fitzpatrick said the proposed policies are not a “silver bullet” but still an important step in combating the affordable housing crisis sweeping the Denver metro region.

The strategy presented to council is two-pronged. It includes mandating a portion of new housing development be below market rate, though that portion would be small, and providing developers with incentives that would spur more affordable development.

What constitutes affordable is determined by the city’s median income level, which in 2020 was $76,375 according to Census data,though that number will change year after year.

Under the housing leaders’ proposal, people making 60% of the median income, about $44,000 for a single person per year, would be the main target for policies geared towards rental units. Those making 80%, about $55,000 per person annually, would be the main target for for-sale homes.

Those numbers were in 2021 dollars, according to Fitzpatrick, and have likely changed this year due to rising inflation. Still, it provides a benchmark to aim for in terms of who would be benefiting from more affordable housing.

Most new building of affordable housing would stem from incentives, with about 2% to 8% of new development mandated to be affordable, according to the proposal from housing leaders.

Incentives, which would only be unlocked if developers pledged more affordable housing, could include less parking and open space requirements as well as allowing for more stories of a development than originally envisioned.

Housing leaders estimated this could spur up to 50% of new developments to be affordable.

Most council members during the session voiced support for the twopronged approach, though at least one council member had concerns about giving developers more rein to go denser.

“If we have all this multi-family housing, we’re losing our character,” said at-large council member Grove.

Grove voiced unease with developments going as high as seven stories thanks to incentives, though this is already allowed through the new

Unified Land Use Code, which Grove voted for in October.

She also took issue with building more duplexes and other nondetached housing in traditionally single-family neighborhoods.

Mayor Kyle Schlachter disagreed.

“I don’t think that duplexes, triplexes diminish the character of a neighborhood at all, I actually think they add to it,” Schlachter said.

Veith, the housing task force chair, said these types of housing units are already integrated into the city and pose no threat to its character.

“There are duplexes and townhomes all throughout our neighborhoods and they all already blend it,” Veith said.

Mayor Pro Tem Gretchen Rydin said those housing types are “something that our community is desperately missing.” Being a renter herself, Rydin said she understands the economic squeeze many Littleton residents feel when it comes to the housing market.

Kelly Milliman, council member for Littleton’s District 4, pushed back on the narrative that diversity of housing, both in look and density, would threaten “community char-

acter.”

Quoting the 2018 Envision Report, Milliman said the “small town feel and sense of community can mean different things to different people,” and remains an “abstract concept.”

The term “community character” has been invoked several times by a handful of residents who have made clear to council their opposition to new developments, including housing.

Grove said council needs to be aware of this opposition as members ponder incentivizing developers. Grove referred to a glaring case of residents’ resistance, which came when a council vote to rezone the Aspen Grove shopping center for new homes was overturned by a citizen’s petition, which garnered thousands of signatures.

It forced the city to punt the rezoning plans to a city-wide vote scheduled for November. The election results could serve as a referendum on citizens’ appetite for development, especially higher-density housing.

“There is a group of very interested voters that don’t necessarily want high density … and I think we have to be aware of them,” Grove said.

BARN FROM PAGE 1

Board during a study session April 21, were that the barn’s roof is incapable of supporting snow and that the site is “neither safe for occupation nor moving to a new location.”

The developer’s remedy is to demolish the barn and, possibly using some of its original materials, build a reconstruction elsewhere on the property that would be used as an amenity.

But Keeley said reconstruction would lose the barn’s historical significance. The application currently under review by city staff, filed April 26, claims the barn meets criteria for historical designation as it “exemplifies specific elements of an architectural style or period” and shows “cultural, political, economic or social heritage of the community.”

“I would really hope that the city would make a strong effort on preserving that structure,” Keeley said.

The application will soon be reviewed by the city’s Historical Preservation Board according to Mike Sutherland, deputy director for community development, who said they will have between 30 and 60 days to make a recommendation to city council.

Council members will ultimately have to vote to approve a historical designation but, even with one, the barn’s future could still be uncertain.

The designation would still allow for relocation, according to Andrea Mimnaugh, senior planner for community development, and even demolition if the barn suffers weatherrelated damage. Modifications or extensions to the barn would have to be approved by the city under a historical designation but could still move forward, Mimnaugh said.

“While the barn may be in poor condition, it is still standing, and so with the right approach and a lot of work, it could be preserved,” Mimnaugh said.

While preservation could come with a heavy price tag, grants could help cover the cost, according to Keeley, who recommended the city secure a historical assessment grant through History Colorado, a state-

run historical society.

The assessment grant, which can award up to $15,000 to applicants, would be a first step in understanding the needs of a historical site and how much preservation efforts could cost.

According to Sara Doll, outreach specialist for History Colorado, applicants can also apply for much larger grants for projects, with some awarding hundreds of thousands over several years.

“A lot of developers can break even, or it’s not a whole lot more out of their pocket,” Doll said. “If they’re in between thinking ‘should we save it, should we not’ I think an (assessment grant) is worth it.”

But that decision is ultimately up to the barn’s owner, Wendy Cogdal, who is currently in the process of selling the land to Toll Brothers.

Cogdal said she did not want to comment for this story.

But he also acknowledged the tensions that are at play.

“Littleton has a rich history, and there is a balance between community interest versus the property owner’s rights,” Sutherland said.

Sincerely, Traveling Tommy Dear Traveling Tommy, Wow, that sounds like the opportunity of a lifetime. We commend anyone that has the gumption to put something like this together!

There are a few things you should know when it comes to traveling and your Estate Planning. Always remember, your location of domicile will determine where your Estate is administered. A few things that prove your domicile are your Driver’s License, Tax Filing, Permanent place of residence, and place of involvement.

That being said, if something were to happen to you while traveling (locally, nationally, or internationally), the laws where you reside will be the laws that control your Estate Plan and Estate Administration. (Ex. You are domiciled and plan in the State of Colorado, travel to Thailand, and pass away in Thailand. The laws of Colorado will control your Estate Administration.)

School districts sound off on teacher shortage From left: Fremont RE-2 School Superintendent Brenda Krage, Aurora Public Schools Superintendent Rico Munn, Adams 12 Superintendent Chris Gdowski and Jeffco Deputy Superintendent Kym LeBlancEsparza.

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Public Education and Business Coalition hosted a panel of regional school district superintendents on May 4 to discuss the teacher shortage affecting Colorado.

The coalition promotes teamwork among the business community and the education community to solve problems.

In attendance for the panel was Deputy Superintendent for Jeffco Public Schools Kym LeBlancEsparza, Superintendent for Adams 12 Chris Gdowski, Superintendent of Fremont RE-2 School District Brenda Krage and Aurora Public Schools Superintendent Rico Munn.

Prior to their discussion, remarks came from Cindy Marten, deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Education, Governor Jared Polis, Colorado Commissioner of Education Dr. Kathy Anthes, PEBC President and CEO Sue Sava and Lee Wheeler-Berliner, managing director of Colorado Workforce Development Council.

Wheeler-Berliner said Colorado had 6,910 teaching positions to fill in the 2020-2021 school year. That translates to 180,000 students without a teacher in their classroom.

He also said per-pupil funding in 2020-2021 was $9,014. That’s lower than the national average, which is $12,624.

Wheeler-Berliner also explained that median earnings among teachers in Colorado are $23.96 per hour and $49,800 per year – significantly below the national median earnings, which are $25.51 per hour and $53,100 per year.

According to Great Education Colorado, the state ranks 43rd in spending on education and 50th in teacher wage competitiveness.

Money talks “There’s not a single school district in the state of Colorado that pays their starting teachers at a cost-of-living wage,” said the Fremont district’s Krage.

Each superintendent agreed that teachers are not paid enough to retain them, and Adams District 12’s Gdowski says that’s a huge problem.

“I think money matters, and it matters a lot,” he said.

Competing with huge chains

also comes into play. For internal support staff, he said the district increased pay from $12.5 per hour to $15 per hour in August, but that still might not be enough.

“I drive by each day and see McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Target, Chickfil-A paying $16 an hour,” he said.

“I sit here today and we have over 100 support staff positions that are unfilled.”

Three causes Aurora’s Munn said the educational workforce faces three issues that cause the shortage: over-regulation, disruption and resource depletion.

“What everybody in the business community knows is the more regulation you have, the fewer people you have in that workforce because it constrains the number of people who can be engaged,” Munn said.

For disruption, he pointed to the COVID-19 pandemic and the “rampant partisanship” around issues teachers face day today. He said inflation and supply chain issues also affect schools, which has helped lead to resource depletion.

As well, Munn noted that there is a fundamental shift in the workforce. Employees are asking for more flexibility and more control over their workplace.

“If you have a room full of fiveyear-olds, you need an adult in that room,” he said. “Saying ‘I want to remote in today’ is not an option.”

To attempt to cover for the unfilled jobs, Munn’s district has administrative employees – including Munn himself – taking days in different positions. Jefferson County’s LeBlanc-Esparza echoed that sentiment.

“I know that I feel if I had a CDL license, I would have probably been

driving the bus at some point in time this year,” she said.

Added stress The vacant positions shed more responsibilities on the staff, which increases stress. Gdowski said he thinks educators have been pushed to the edge in the last couple of years regarding workload and expectations.

“There’s more and more that is expected on the federal level, the state level, the local level, from parents pushing on us, and then to add to it, this year has (had) really intense student behaviors and challenges,” Gdowski said.

Gdowski said elementary principals described at school board meetings that staff routinely evacuates kindergarten classrooms at least once a week due to students throwing chairs, books and other things around the classroom.

Krage said social media is impacting students and the social norm of how students are treating teachers.

“The new unfortunate social norm that comes with such a responsive social media climate is deteriorating (teachers),” she said. “Teachers have had enough, they really are not respected and spoken to (correctly) or even given the benefit of the doubt of why they have put something in their classroom or why they had a well-intentioned conversation with a student before the parent is flying off the handle over social media.”

“People are hitting the wall,” Gdowski said.

Crystal ball “I think you have to kind of look at that crystal ball on what education is going to look like if we don’t

address some of the points that have been made this morning,” Krage said.

She explained if the districts can’t hire the vacant positions and address the workforce shortage, schools are headed to a permanent structure of remote teachers and Zoom lessons.

To stop that path, ballot initiatives, regulation and other factors driving people out of the workforce must be addressed, she said.

Some of that could also start with more apprentice programs and the recruitment of teachers.

“How do we go into our community? How do we recruit those moms that want a schedule that maybe matches their child? How close are they to a teaching license? Do we have parents in our buildings that we could train to get them into our pipeline?” she asked.

LeBlanc-Esparza suggested businesses give employees an opportunity to take a day and volunteer as substitute teachers.

Advice to businesses The coalition offered ways businesses can help stem the teacher shortage, some included creating and supporting scholarships for teacher apprenticeships, funding teachers in an innovative business model based on retention outcomes and creating or contributing to a living wage fund to make child care more available and affordable for teachers.

“In the end, until we have more resources that allow us to spread workload amongst more people, I fear that we’re going to continue to have the same challenges,” Gdowski said.

VOICES

A sign of aging

I

t recently hit me that a true sign of aging is not about actual age, graying hair or straining a muscle in the back while picking up something as simple as a comb.

Instead, what hit me is how much hearing the news of a celebrity dying and being a little sad as you recount the memories from youth.

To tell this story, I will have to shine some light on my country roots a little bit. A few weeks ago, FROM THE when the news of Naomi Judd dying came EDITOR out, I was saddened.

This news proved I am aging because there was a time when a celebrity died, and my parents and grandparents would react while I kind of sat there wondering what the fuss was all about.

Now, it’s me telling my kids stories of how these people brought fond or not-sofond memories to my life.

After hearing about the sad way Naomi Thelma Grimes Judd died, I found myself telling my kids about the fact that my first favorite song, that I could recall, was the Judds’ hit “I Know Where I’m Going.” Yeah, it’s a bit of a cheesy song but I loved it.

The Judds were also my very first cassette tape. Yes, I said cassette tape. I was remembering how the ribbon would get pulled out and I would work to roll it back in with a pencil.

Later, I enjoyed the Judds’ work in songs such as “Grandpa” and “Love Can Build a Bridge.”

I made my kids listen to “Love Can Build a Bridge” in the car after I learned of Naomi Judd’s death, explaining what a lovely song it is and how I always enjoyed listening to it.

As if I needed another example of my age, my children helped that along with the bored looks and, at one point, asking if I could put on the recently-popular song, “Astronaut in the Ocean.”

Naomi Judd is not the first celebrity where I found myself recalling fond moments from childhood and young adulthood, but this was the first time where I realized it is becoming more routine to hear the news of someone passing and being able to recall some childhood story.

While I am always sad to hear the news of someone I grew up watching or listening to passing – I do enjoy taking a moment to pause and remember. Remembering that tape player being rewound over and over again to play my favorite songs. Today, we have the luxury of a quick push of a button or Google search to find the exact song we want at that moment.

When I was younger you had to practice timing to rewind and replay a good song. Believe me, I got good at that over the years before CDs became the thing.

On a sidenote, as I bring this week’s editor’s ramblings to a close, I will say I hope the passing of Naomi Judd continues even more discussion about mental health in our country.

She has always been an advocate for helping people with mental illness. She has always pushed for the medical industry to do more than just give someone some pills and hope they work well enough.

She has always pushed for more studies on the brain, or more attention to what causes depressing, anxiety and stress.

I hope her passing can bring some more attention and help to those who need it before they do what she ended up doing to end the struggles.

Listening for the voice of grace

S

o many of you enjoyed the quote I used last week, I thought I would begin this one with another of his quotes, “Graciousness is more than good manners. It is more than courtesy. It is the etiquette of the soul. True graciousness has such a divine quality we feel it is something that comes through us and not from us.” — Fred Smith Can you think of a time when you made a mistake, large or small, and where the error could have led to a bigger problem or conflict, yet the person on the receiving end of your mistake gave you grace? Sometimes when we think we have failed someone or something the most or feel like we don’t deserve to receive grace or to be forgiven, we are forgetting the inherent goodness and graciousness found in most people.

As the quote above points out, grace is not something that comes from us, it is something that comes through us and is demonstrated by our actions. Saying the words “I forgive you,” or “Don’t worry, it’s OK,” are a good start, but will be taken as insincere if the actions, body language, and tonality don’t support what is being said.

Have you ever withheld offering grace or forgiveness? When we withhold giving grace to someone, we are actually doing more harm to ourselves than to the person who offended us or who made

a mistake that had an impact on our lives. Yet, when we are at fault, we hope that the person we wronged in some way will offer us grace and forgive us. Giving grace is so freeing as it takes a heavy burden of anger or resentment off our shoulders, and we can get back to living our Michael Norton best life as the best version of ourselves.

And when we can get comfortable with giving grace, we will be much more comfortable receiving grace, even when we feel like we deserve it the least. In this context, I am referring to giving and receiving grace as in forgiveness. When we think of the other definitions of grace such as simple elegance or refinement of movement, or courteous goodwill, and then couple those with offering someone grace, it emphasizes or punctuates our sincerity.

There are always more elegant ways and solutions to solve problems, correct mistakes and overcome conflict or adversity. Learning how to live, work and love with graciousness is a tremendously amazing way to do just that. When we can learn to apply elegant solutions

Saving energy costs in warm weather GUEST COLUMN

Amy Fiala

W

e know customer bills and energy usage are topics of conversation in the communities we serve. A combination of factors — including the increased cost of the natural gas we purchase, recovery of costs associated with Storm Uri and costs to help cover system investments and improvements — have added to monthly costs.

The common thread is that each of these costs are necessary to provide the safe, reliable natural gas service that our customers depend on. We know changes to monthly bills can have an impact on the household budget and we’re here to help. As the weather warms, many families tackle home spring cleaning projects, like deep cleaning or organizing. But did you know there are several spring cleaning actions you can take that could help lower your natural gas bills? Here are five jobs to tackle to help reduce your energy usage and make your home — and appliances — more energy efficient:

during times of interpersonal conflict, it will have the greatest impact on all our relationships.

“Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off.” - Max Lucado We all know the feeling of finding it within ourselves to offer grace in the moment we first find out that we have been wronged.

We struggle because we want to be so mad and we want to enjoy stewing in our anger for a while, it is our right to be mad, upset, hurt and angry. That is why I love this quote by Max Lucado and lean

1. Replace filters for your HVAC system. Check and replace your filters every three months. Dirty filters make your furnace work extra hard to push the air through, using more energy and increasing the wear and tear on your system.

2. Service your furnace. An annual furnace inspection will ensure your heating system is working safely and efficiently.

3. Deep clean your oven. When an oven is deep cleaned, it will reach desired cooking temperatures more quickly which reduces energy usage.

Heat is also better distributed, so your food is cooked more evenly. Keep in mind that frequently using the selfcleaning feature on your oven can be expensive because it uses a lot of energy, so try to wipe up messes promptly using baking soda and water to keep your oven clean throughout the year.

4. Flush your hot water heater. Doing this annually is not only good for your water heater, but you’ll also become familiar with how the appliance works

into the meaning. This quote has more than once been the words I cling to and repeat when something happens or the error made had a negative impact on myself, my family or my friends. I listen for the voice of grace in my head and in my heart.

How does grace show up for you? Is it with a lot of effort or is it with refined movement and elegance? Is there someone you need to offer a little grace to? Is there something you have done where you are expecting or hoping to receive a little grace yourself?

I would love to hear your story at mnorton@xinnix.com, and when we listen for the voice of grace, it really will be a better than good year.

tions as members in its productions came down with COVID-19, saw donations reach a record $1 million.

“From small donors to corporations, everyone stepped up,” said Phillip Sneed, the center’s CEO and president.

The center also received $5.2 million in federal aid over two years, helping to offset $3.6 million in losses.

“At first we thought it was more than we needed,” Sneed said. But the aid became vital as losses mounted — the most recent, $130,000 in ticket returns from the cancellation of the last seven performances of the musical “Kinky Boots.”

Over the two years DCPA garnered about $16 million in federal aid, according to Sinden. DCPA depends heavily on ticket sales — contributions made up just 20% of its prepandemic budget of $75 million. “It was really, really tough to come back.

We lost $100 million in 18 months,” she said.

eight theaters in a season. At the same time, it was in the middle of a $41 million renovation project. The center used the pause to its advantage to complete the project.

“The silver lining of our experience was that we were renovating theaters,” said Janice Sinden, DCPA’s president and CEO. The Colorado Ballet started doing its daily ballet class for its dancers over Zoom and dancers began making “Virtual Ballet” videos dancing in the parking garage at the performing arts center or along the Platte River, as bicyclists whizzed by.

The company also teamed up with Rocky Mountain PBS to air performances of “The Nutcracker” and “Alice,” a ballet based on the Lewis Carroll character.

The Colorado Symphony never stopped playing. “Our mantra was play on,” Dobrff said.

Within days of the shutdown, the symphony produced an online performance of the Ode to Joy from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, each orchestra member playing his or her part at home.

Symphony musicians kept posting videos under the rubric #PlayOn, including the horn section’s soulful rendition of “All By Myself.” A handful of small, masked and socially distanced ensembles popped up at places like Civic Center park and the Colorado State Capitol.

In July 2020, the symphony became the first group to play at Red Rocks since the start of the pandemic, with a series of 18 concerts by 20 musicians before audiences of 175 spread out across the huge amphitheater. “It was eerie,” Dobreff said. “You just never see Red Rocks like that.”

Looking at the numbers While audiences largely disappeared, one thing that did not vanish was philanthropic and government backing for the arts. In fact, private donations to arts and cultural groups in 2020 rose 5.5% to $225 million compared to 2019, according to the CBCA. “We are a nonprofit organization.

We are used to raising money to meet our goals,” Dobreff said. “It isn’t something a restaurant or a store can do. … Donations became very important during that time and our support helped in a massive way to help us keep playing on.”

Pre-pandemic donations to performing arts organizations ranged on average from one-fifth to more than two-thirds of total revenue, based on their 990 federal tax forms.

DCPA had a 30,000-person subscriber base and the organization sought to have subscribers contribute their tickets. This helped boost donations to $4.5 million. Tickets could also be held as credits for future performanc-

es. Still, the center lost about 5,000 subscribers during the pandemic.

Subscribers also donated tickets for opera performances the company could not perform. “We saw a tremendous amount of support in contributions,” Carpenter said.

The opera was expecting about a 30% drop-off in contributions and while donations of $500 or less did decrease, pledges from major donors swelled. “So, it all balanced out,” Carpenter said.

Opera Colorado logged an 8% increase in contributions in fiscal year 2021 to $3.9 million, compared to a year earlier, while ticket sales were a tenth — just $1,400 — of what they were before the pandemic. More than half of the symphony’s $13.3 million 2020 budget was covered by contributions.

“I was concerned whether dollars would shift from the private sector, but they kept it up,” said Deborah Jordy, executive director of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District.

The SCFD channels designated sales tax revenue to 320 arts and cultural organizations in Denver and six surrounding counties.

“Philanthropy stayed strong particularly in the performing arts where there was no earned income,

no ticket sales,” Jordy said.

The SCFD also increased its grants rising to $75.3 million in 2021 from $66 million in 2019, as sales tax revenue grew in the region.

“It really demonstrates generally consistent year-over-year support for cultural institutions and that is what they needed during the pandemic,” Jordy said.

There was one unexpected source of aid — the federal government’s COVID relief funds. Like other employers with fewer than 500 workers, performing arts organizations were able to access the Paycheck Protection Program and the employee retention tax credit, and then there was the $16.2 billion shuttered venue operator grant program.

“All those things were a bonus,” the Opera’s Carpenter said. “We never expected to be on the receiving end of that kind of federal government support.”

The opera received $518,000 in federal help over 2020 and 2021. The ballet — carrying a full company of dancers — received a total of nearly $6.4 million in federal backing over two years.

The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, which suffered a crippling string of performance cancella-

The comeback Still, as the summer of 2021 came to a close, everyone was preparing for that comeback.

One decision all these performing arts groups made was that patrons would have to wear masks and have proof of vaccination or negative COVID tests to attend performances.

“We wanted to be in lockstep because we knew it was going to be hard,” Dobreff said. “We did what was collectively best.”

The symphony began Sept. 17 with pianist Emmanuel Ax playing Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2 at Boettcher. The ballet took the stage in October with “Giselle” — with special precautions backstage at the Ellie Caulkins to sequester hard-breathing dancers.

The opera, which was dormant during the 18-month lacuna, had managed to keep all its contracts for its production of “Tosca,” a casualty of the 2020 shutdown, and was able to stage Giacomo Puccini’s tale of love and betrayal at the Ellie Caulkins in November.

When the shutdown came, DPCA just left the set for the Improvised Shakespeare Company on the stage of its Garner Galleria Theater and shut the doors. “Eighteen months later we dusted everything off, cleaned the theater and we were back,” Sinden said.

The question was: Would audiences be back as well?

“Our comeback is a little slower, ticket sales have been a little softer,” Sinden said. “There are single ticket buyers making decisions closer to the event date, because they are not sure what the situation will be.”

The opera had one of highest subscription rates in the county, Carpenter said, with almost half of the performances covered by SEE DANCE, P20

has an expanded vendor line-up and, according to provided information, “a system to support small farmers and several new ways to connect community members with those growing, making and preparing food in Colorado.”

The market runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday through Oct. 29. Learn more at www.CityParkFarmersMarket.com.

here are plenty of beautiful and important environmental sites that people are aware of - think locations like the Everglades in Florida. But then there are places that might be even more important and aren’t anywhere as well known, like the Canadian wetlands.

“Wings Over Water,” the new IMAX film at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd. in Denver, gives audiences a bird’s eye view of this crucial ecosystem through the story of three bird species - the Sandhill Crane, the Yellow Warbler and the Mallard Duck. Narrated by Michael Keaton, the film runs through July 31.

We spoke to Denver-based producer Chris Dorsey about the film, what he hopes people take from the film and more.

Interview was edited for clarity and brevity.

Tell me about how this film came together?

Once upon a time, I ran media marketing for Ducks Unlimited, who lead the way in the conservation of the Canadian wetlands. Leading scientists were brought together to focus on the work being done on the ecosystem, which is the richest bird nursery on the planet, but nobody knows anything about it. Scientists and others have been working there for decades, but doing so in a vacuum, so we decided something needed to be done to raise awareness and protection.

What is the film about?

It was designed to tell the story of the ecosystem through three central characters, all of whom converge during the nesting season in the wetlands and then migrate to different places around the continent. This helps highlight that these birds’ migratory Clarke Reader corridors are equally important and need protection.

People love the visuals and epic nature of the IMAX format, which transports attendees so thoroughly to Canada that it’s like they’re stamping their passports. By the end, you’re really vested in this place because you know it and want to support and protect it.

What does it mean for you to have the film screening at the DMNS? The museum is one of the top natural history museums in the US and the world. What the team has done there is pretty extraordinary, not just because it’s a stunning facility, but because of the life it has outside the walls of the institution.

What do you hope people who see the film come away with?

After one screening I had a guy come to me who said he was so fired up to do something about the wetlands because of the story. I’ve been to all sorts of these things and never come away with responses like this. I hope people lend

their wealth, work and wisdom to organizations like Ducks Unlimited and the Audubon Society to get involved in their projects and public policy.

I hope this magical place is going to be known, appreciated and understood for the first time in North American and global history. That’s the first key step in saving paradise.

getting our dancers back on stage and back to their careers … and we’ve been able to put on a full season,” said Gil Boggs, the ballet’s artistic director.

The ballet, like the opera, also saw more single and last-minute ticket sales. “We are still living in an era where it is hard to plan ahead,” Badler said.

The size of symphony audiences depended upon the performance, Dobreff said. Some concerts were sellouts or near sellouts, such as performances with Leslie Odom Jr. and Ben Folds.

The symphony, ballet and the opera — if there are no pitfalls with “Carmen” — will all have gotten through their seasons without canceling any shows. Others haven’t been that lucky.

In the midst of DCPA’s DecemberJanuary run of “The Lion King” (which had been canceled in May 2020),

13 performances had to be scrapped because of COVID-positive cast members.

“Some folks were canceled twice, in May and December,” Sinden said.

At the Arvada Center — which presents three musicals and four plays during a normal season — the musicals are the moneymakers, but this season the Christmas musical “Elf” was forced to scratch nine performances and “Kinky Boots” lost seven.

That added up to $360,000 in ticket refunds, Sneed said.

penter said. “Next season will still be a rebuilding season.”

The Arvada Center’s Sneed said it might take three to five years to recover.

There is also another worry that there may have been a fundamental shift in theatergoers’ behavior as a result of the pandemic.

“The big question is: Have we lost some patrons permanently?” Sneed said. “Have some people decided it is easier to stay home and watch virtual content?”

The looming question The question that now looms over the region’s performing arts is how long it will take for audiences to return and for the organizations to recover. “We went into this season as a year of rebuilding after COVID, but we didn’t really know what rebuilding would mean,” Car-

subscribers. “We’ve seen a drop-off from that,” he said. “Some patrons are not quite ready to come back. We are selling a lot more single tickets.”

“We budgeted based on 50% of the house being sold. We weren’t sure if we’d have to limit capacity for social distancing,” Carpenter said. But for “Tosca” and the following production, “The Shining,” the house was more than 70% full.

The ballet on average saw its performances drawing three-quarters of a regular season, save for the Christmas run of “The Nutcracker” where attendance was off just 5%.

The City of Lone Tree has started the process to construct a pedestrian and bicycle bridge on the C-470 trail at Acres Green Drive.

C-470 trail gets bridge crossing at Acres Green Drive in Lone Tree

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Plans to construct a missing pedestrian and bicycle bridge along the C-470 Trail over the Acres Green Drive intersection to address safety and traffic concerns is moving forward.

Douglas County is also in the process of building a similar pedestrian and bicycle bridge on the C-470 trail at the Yosemite intersection, which is expected to be finished in November.

Having spent $375,000 last year on design, the construction budget is $4 million. Lone Tree and Douglas County will each contribute $1 million, and CDOT will provide the rest.

Vicki Skigen of Denver owns Wooden Spools.

Wooden Spools buys and sells quilting fabric at its store on Broadway in Englewood.

Wooden Spools sells quilting fabric, yarn and other craft supplies online and at its store in Englewood.

Quilters are in their element at Wooden Spools Englewood craft store has vigorous online presence too

BY RACHEL LORENZ RLORENZ@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

on the internet has been around almost as long as its presence near South Broadway and Yale Avenue, the mandatory closure of stores at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic gave Wooden Spools the opportunity to up its game. At that time, it put nearly all of its inventory on the website, Skigen said.

Even the fabric the business buys from individuals to sell to customers is available in the web store. Wooden Spools calls this “revived” fabric, and Skigen said it’s the foundation of the store’s business model.

The concept was sparked in 2010 by a conversation Skigen had with other quilters about their stashes — that is, their personal collection of quilting fabric acquired over years of pursuing the hobby. Quil-

ters, Skigen said, often purchase more beautiful material than they end up using.

“We had this idea years ago: What if we bought that fabric?”

Skigen said.

According to the website, 80% of the fabric Wooden Spools sells comes from other quilters. Skigen purchases like-new, quilt-shop quality cloth by the pound from individuals and then sells it at a reduced rate in the store. Fabric that would sell for $13 per yard at regular quilting shops, for example, goes for $6 a yard at Wooden Spools, Skigen said.

In addition to fabric and other supplies for quilting, Wooden Spools also carries yarn. Many quilters also knit or crochet, Skigen said, and they’re often interested in exploring something new.

Wooden Spools has a calendar full of classes and events. When the store was closed early in the pandemic, it offered its classes over Zoom. The convenience of virtual learning resonated with some customers, so Wooden Spools now offers a hybrid class model for

some classes. Students can learn at the store or follow along virtually from home. Skigen said it’s particularly popular for knitting classes.

Events and classes are an important part of the business, she said. People always want to learn new skills. Plus the events foster a sense of community. Folks enjoy “hanging out with friends doing the same thing,” she said.

Skigen describes Wooden Spools’ business model as one that feels good on many levels.

The lower price point is great for new quilters who don’t want to make a large investment in a hobby they’re just getting started with. Other shoppers like to indulge in the more expensive handdyed material the store carries after saving money on the revived merchandise, Skigen said. And for quilters that have a basement full of fabric, it’s nice to be able to get a few dollars for the pieces they’re no longer interested in.

“It’s kind of a happy, good-foreverybody sort of model that has been successful.”

PRESENTS

Wooden Spools in Englewood has more than a few friends.

With more than 3,600 followers on Facebook and roughly 6,000 folks receiving its biweekly newsletter, the reach of the 12-year-old craft store extends well beyond the Denver metro area.

“We do have customers all over the country and even internationally,” owner Vicki Skigen told Colorado Community Media.

The newsletter is the store’s main form of advertising, Skigen said. It lets people know what classes and events are coming up as well as the theme of the current sale.

In addition to its brick-andmortar store, Wooden Spools has an online store. While its presence

Lawmakers abandon paid family, parental leave Democrats say money can be used elsewhere

BY JESSE PAUL AND SHANNON NAJMABADI THE COLORADO SUN

A Colorado Senate committee killed a measure that would have provided $57.5 million in fee relief related to the state’s new paid family and parental leave program in a surprising reversal of a benefit touted by Gov. Jared Polis.

The Senate Finance Committee unanimously rejected House Bill 1305 after the legislation’s sponsor, Sen. Faith Winter, D-Westminster, requested its demise without explanation.

Democratic leadership in the legislature says the bill was rejected so lawmakers can use the $57.5 million set aside for the measure for other purposes. The money, which comes from hundreds of millions of dollars in one-time funding the legislature is distributing this year, won’t go toward one other specific program or initiative, according to Senate Majority Leader Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City.

“Obviously there are a number of one-time (funding) requests from the governor’s office and I think the feeling was we were a bit out of balance with requests that were initiated by the gover-

nor’s office compared to one-time funding priorities from the General Assembly,” Moreno said.

In other words: The governor wanted the money spent on paid family and parental leave fee relief but the legislature disagreed.

State Rep. Yadira Caraveo, a Democrat and prime sponsor of the bill in the House, said her understanding was that senators and the Polis administration came to “some sort of agreement … to kill it.”

“I wasn’t part of the conversations,” she said.

Caraveo declined to say if she was disappointed by the bill’s fate. “I don’t know what the conversations were there, so I really don’t know,” she said.

House Bill 1305 would have, for six months, reduced the fee split between employers and employees that the state will charge starting next year as part of Colorado’s new, voter-approved paid family and parental leave program.

The reduction would have dropped the fee rate to 0.81% of an employees’ wages from 0.9%, a decrease of 0.09 percentage points. For a worker making $4,000 a month, that would have dropped the fee to $32.40 from $36 a month.

Employers pay half the fee; employees pay the other half.

The $57.5 million would have gone toward backfilling the rev-

enue lost because of the rate cut.

Business groups complained that the relief was a “pittance” and that if lawmakers really wanted to help businesses contend with rising costs they would have delayed implementation of the program.

Polis made paid family and parental leave fee relief a key part of his fiscal year 2022-23 budget, even discussing the proposal during a November news conference last year ahead of the 2022 legislative session.

“The governor and the legislature are making even more progress on saving people money, including a $400 per person tax rebate and major property tax relief announced yesterday,” Conor Cahill, a spokesman for the governor, said in a written statement. “We are not surprised to see this bill set aside to support

even bigger accomplishments to save people money.”

Polis and Democrats, who are facing election-year pressure from Republicans over the rising cost of living, set aside more than $300 million in the fiscal year 2022-23 budget, which begins July 1, for government fee and tax relief. Of that, $44 million will go toward delaying for nine months the start of a new 2-cent-per-gallon gas fee enacted through a bill pushed last year

by Democrats.

FROM UKRAINE TO LARKSPUR Maryna and Oleksandr Sheveria walk with two of their kids outside of the home where they are staying in Larskpur. From left, the younger Oleksandr, 14, Maryna, Oleksandr PHOTOS BY ELLIOTT WENZLER and on his shoulders, 4-year-old Taisia.

A family of six adjusts to life in Douglas County

aryna and Oleksandr Sheveria miss Ukrainian bread.

They miss the taste and the texture of the freshly baked crust. They miss their home and their dog and their two cats. They miss the mundane day-to-day tasks of going to work, grilling out on weekends and planning for vacation.

All those parts of their lives were stripped away the day Russia invaded their homeland and — for the safety of their four young children — they decided to flee the country.

Maryna, 38, packed up her family’s lives into two suitcases, bringing only a few items, including their work laptops and a change of clothes for each of their four children.

Now, it’s two months later and after traveling thousands of miles, overcoming challenges and marveling at examples of generosity along the way, they have found themselves in Larkspur — a 200-person town in southern Douglas County.

Their home in Western Ukraine is now filled with relatives who moved from the eastern part of the country after Russians began targeting the region. Family members are caring for the Sheveria’s pets and keeping them informed on the status of the war. Recently, they learned the bombing has moved even closer to their home.

“We kind of hoped until the last moment that bombs will not reach there,” Maryna said. “Be-

cause it’s in the mountains, it’s very small.”

Maryna and Oleksandr spoke about their family’s journey to Colorado from the living room of the the Larkspur home.

While it’s her husband and children’s first time in the United States, for Maryna, it’s not such an unfamiliar place. Just down the road is Douglas County High School, where Maryna spent a school year during an exchange program 23 years ago. The Larkspur home and its inhabitants are familiar too, as it’s the same host family Maryna lived with during her exchange program.

As they spoke, Maryna translated for her husband Oleksandr, 39, who is working on learning English.

‘It was panic’ Just a few months ago, their family had started 2022 like many others. They had fitness goals, resolutions to learn new languages and plans for the future. On

the weekends, Oleksandr would grill food for the family, or they would take their kids to play at a local park.

Oleksandr owned a business selling used trucks and cars.

Maryna worked for an IT company.

Then, on Feb. 24, everything changed.

“We are used to having Russian forces on our borders and they’re doing this like eight years already,” Maryna said. “We didn’t believe it until the last minute.”

The day before the invasion, Maryna dropped Oleksandr off at the border of Ukraine, where he planned to travel to Budapest to catch a flight for a work trip. After she heard the news a few hours later that Russia was attacking, Maryna called to tell him she was planning to flee.

“It was panic,” she said. “All I thought about was the safety of my children. I didn’t think about the plans for work or business.”

She gathered the kids into her

car and tried to begin the journey. But she could not find any gas.

For nearly an hour, she searched for a gas station where she could fill up. While there wasn’t a shortage at that time, stations were limiting how much customers could purchase. And the lines were tremendously long.

Eventually, she filled their tank as much as possible and began driving to Budapest to meet with Oleksandr.

When they finally reconnected, the family traveled to Germany.

Once there, Maryna received a social media message from Helen Kellogg, who had hosted her as an exchange student back in 1999.

Kellogg offered to again host Maryna and her family at her home.

Exchange program Kellogg, who is Ukrainian but grew up in the United States, began hosting Ukrainian students because she wanted to continue speaking the language, which was the first she learned.

“I wanted to kind of get back into the heritage,” Kellogg said.

“My kids were young. I wanted them to be more familiar with their Ukrainian background.”

Mayna spent about nine months attending Douglas County High School in Castle Rock and came back again a few years later. Kellogg remembers trying to convince Maryna to immigrate to the U.S. “She kept sitting there going ‘No, I need to go back home.

SEE UKRAINE, P25

and a wait period, their application was approved and they flew to the U. S. in mid-March.

Ukraine is going to need us, they’re going to need young people,’” Kellogg remembers. “She wanted to be part of that future of Ukraine.”

After Maryna and her family decided to accept Kellogg’s offer, they spent several weeks in Germany, waiting for their tourist visa to be approved. During that time they stayed in various hostels, hotels and apartments in Germany, often experiencing generosity from strangers.

Some allowed them to stay for free in their hotel, others gave them food and one man who saw their Ukrainian license plate at a gas station insisted upon giving them cash.

“It’s been really unbelievable,” Maryna said. “I’m touched beyond words because people don’t know us.

For them, we are just some family.”

Meanwhile, Kellogg, who has worked for the county government for about 37 years, asked the commissioners if they would consider supporting the family’s visa application. They agreed to do so and wrote a letter of support.

Colorado Senator John Hickenlooper and Representative Ken Buck also voiced support for their application.

Kellogg and her husband agreed to sponsor their visa, which means they will provide shelter, clothing and food for the family.

Following an interview

Life in Larkspur These days, the family spends their time mostly with each other in the house and yard in Larkspur. They don’t have access to a vehicle, so their travel around the area has been limited.

They went out hiking once and also visited the Denver Botanic Gardens.

Mostly, they stay in. Maryna braids the three girls’ hair or the kids play with Pokemon toys. Oleksandr works on learning English.

Since arriving, Kellogg and Maryna have tried to restrict how much news they take in from the war.

“It kinda reminds me of like 911 where you just sit there and you’re so horrified going, ‘how in the heck can this be happening?’” Kellogg said.

They especially try to avoid letting the kids see or hear too much of it. While the kids know there’s a war going on, Maryna and Oleksandr try not to talk about it in front of them.

“I’m happy they didn’t see anything like a lot of children had to witness in Ukraine,” Maryna said.

“They are ok. They haven’t been traumatized that much.”

For Mayna and Oleksandr, there are some complicated emotions that cross their minds as they wait to see how the war will play out.

“At first, I kind of felt guilty that I left the country.

But I usually stop myself

from that thought when I start feeling like that because I look at my children and I understand that it was the right decision,” Maryna said.

Both Maryna and Oleksandr’s parents are still in Ukraine along with their siblings, friends and other relatives. With some, they are still in touch and hear consistent updates about the state of the war. Others, they can’t contact and don’t know where they are or how they are doing.

For now, the couple can’t work because of their status as tourists. They have applied for Temporary Protection Status from the U.S. and hope if it’s approved, they will be able to begin working in the community.

“I miss the regular life, when you go to work, when you talk to people, just a regular schedule,” she said.

If that status is approved, perhaps they can buy a car and find a place to rent.

“We’re really thankful to Helen and Jim for hosting us here because it’s a big support on their shoulders,” Oleksandr said with Maryna translating. “It means a lot to us.”

All they can do until then, however, is wait.

The kids, ages 4, 8, 11 and 14 and are currently learning remotely in a Ukrainian school but if the family is granted TPS status, they hope to attend local classes.

“We can’t make any longterm plans at the moment because of this situation,” Maryna said. “Hopefully things will get better in Ukraine.”

SPORTS Soccer win is birthday bonus

Avery Wise is captain of Legend soccer team

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Avery Wise turned 18 years old on May 5 and the Legend High School soccer captain found a cherished way to celebrate her birthday.

Wise scored her first goal of the season on a free kick in the 75th minute to give Legend a 1-0 victory over Mountain Vista in the final regular season game for both games on the Legend Titans’ blueturf field.

The senior stepped forward from 30 yards away with a line of four Mountain Vista players forming a wall 10 yards in front of her. She booted the ball low, past the wall and toward the corner of the goal.

“I just tried to keep it low and it went in,” said Wise, who noted it was a big win for a Legend program that has produced a 5273-10 record over the previous 10 seasons.

“Initially she was looking to drive it in there and beat the wall,” said Legend coach Mazen Kayali when asked about Wise’s goal. “It was a nice driven ball into the corner. She did a nice job.”

Mountain Vista coach Theresa Echtermeyer felt the same.

“It was a well placed shot,” said

Echtermeyer. “It was a good goal on their part.”

Legend players sang “Happy Birthday” to Wise after the game.

It was Legend’s first victory over Vista in 11 games between the schools and the win boosted the Titans’ overall record to 13-2-0.

Mountain Vista is 10-4-1.

The teams tied for second place in the Continental League with 8-2 records behind league champion Rock Canyon.

The Legend-Mountain Vista game served as a warmup for the Colorado state soccer playoffs.

Pairings were posted May 8 and first-round Class 5A games were scheduled for May 10.

Semifinal games for 5A are set for May 19 at the University of Denver and the state championship game will be at 8 p.m. on May 25 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

“Coming into this game (against Mountain Vista) we knew were in the playoffs,” said Kayali. “We were just going for positioning.

Mountain Vista is a good school that has a good tradition with a lot of winning. We knew coming in we had a team that could compete with them.

“I knew coming into the season we had a group of girls that are very good. I knew we had the talent, we just had to put it together and play for each other.”

Mountain Vista is a perennial state power in girls soccer and has won three state championships.

“We’ll be ready for the playoffs,”

said Echtermeyer. “We’ve been in every single game we’ve played.

That’s how soccer is, sometimes it goes your way and sometimes it doesn’t.

“The girls will be ready for the playoffs. We’re excited to see who we draw in the first round. Every game is a new game. You have to play hard.”

Coach pleased with Creek volleyball outcome 26-4 season comes to end with loss to unbeaten Discover Canyon

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cherry Creek boys volleyball coach Cara Quayle completed her first season on May 7.

It might have been a somewhat disappointing finish but Quayle was satisfied and thankful.

Unbeaten Discovery Canyon defeated the Cherry Creek Bruins, 3-0, to win Colorado’s second sanctioned boys volleyball state championship, which was held at Overland High School.

Discovery Canyon finished the season with a 27-0 record and the did not lose a set all season.

Cherry Creek, the top seeded team in the state meet, finished Quayle’s initial season as head coach with a 26-4 record.

“It was my first season as a head coach and I told the boys that I couldn’t have asked for a better group of boys,” said Quayle. “They fought all season long, all weekend long, and

fought hard in all three match today (Saturday), battled it out and played with played their hearts out. It’s been a great year.

“We’re looking forward to next year already. I can’t say enough about how hard they worked, the effort they put in and you could see it. That second match against Discovery Canyon, it was a battle.

“It was a great way to end the season. They fought hard.”

Cherry Creek was sent into the consolation bracket of the double elimination tourney after a 3-0 loss to Discovery Canyon in the second round on May 5. The Bruins came back with consolation wins over Eaglecrest, Bear Creek and Legend to make it into the finals.

The Bruins had to play two matches on May 7 before the championship final against the Thunder. Cherry Creek downed second seeded Bear Creek, 3-0, with 26-24, 25-16 and 25-18 wins and then eliminated No. 6 Legend, 3-1, in the consolation semifinals with 25-24, 26-24, 15-25 and 27-25 scores in the sets.

the other team,” added Quayle. “We had to deal with that but they still fought so hard, You couldn’t tell that they were tired. I’m proud of the way they played. They left it all on the court.”

The Bruins had leads in each set of the title match against the Thunder and there were 21 ties in the three sets.

Kevin Bray and Miles Manthe led the Bruins with nine and eight kills in the finale against the Thunder.

Jordan Cardenas had 12 digs and 24 assists.

Creek junior Lukas Rhoades, who had four blocks in the title match, was also proud despite the loss to the Thunder.

“It sure was a good season,” he said. “Discovery Canyon got the best of us but I’m proud of the boys and for the future will be sharp.

“Discovery Canyon is strong. They do a lot of fundamentals well. We tried to take away some of their big hitters (Josh Livergood and Caden Zippwald) and let them know we were up their to challenge them but overall they were a good team.”

It appeared for a while that Cherry Creek and Legend might go five sets, but the Bruins finished strong to pull out a 27-25 win in the fourth set.

“We felt like we should have beat that team,” said Legend coach Ryan Lindstrom, whose team was 22-6 this season. “Our kids played hard all week. Absolutely, I am happy with the season. It’s hard right now, but if you would have told us at the beginning of the season where we would be right now, I’d be pretty happy with it.”

Defending state champion Douglas County lost to Bear Creek and Eaglecrest and ended the season with a 17-8 record. Regis Jesuit (16-10) lost 3-2 to Cherry Creek in its first round match but downed Cherokee Trail before being eliminated by Bear Creek.

Juneteenth is officially a state holiday in Colorado

BY KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

It is official: Juneteenth is a state holiday in Colorado.

Governor Jared Polis signed a bill Monday, May 2, that makes Juneteenth Colorado’s eleventh state holiday. The bill signing took place at Cleo Parker Robinson dance studio in Denver.

Members of the Black Democratic Legislative Caucus of Colorado joined Polis at the bill signing, as did Juneteenth Music Festival organizer Norman Harris III and Colorado WINS president Skip Miller.

“This day means so much to me,” Harris said.

Norman Harris III, organizer of Denver’s Juneteenth Music Festival.

Miller also spoke at the bill signing event, as did the bill’s three primary sponsors: Democrats Sen. Janet Buckner (Aurora), Sen. James Coleman (Denver) and Rep. Leslie Herod (Denver).

“Colorado, and Denver, has one of the largest Juneteenth [celebrations] in the nation, and it’s time that it’s recognized,” Herod told Rocky Mountain PBS in the moments leading up to the bill’s passage Monday. “I’m really excited to say that the workers of Colorado WINS fought for this in their first ever ... collective bargaining agreement with the governor, and here we are today. This means that

places all across the country will know the power of Juneteenth, right here in Denver.”

Colorado WINS is the union representing thousands of state workers.

The Colorado House passed the bill Monday, April 11. The legislation had broad bipartisan support; the vote in the House was 61-2.

The only “no” votes were Republicans Rod Pelton (District 65) and Rod Bockenfeld (District 56). The Colorado Senate approved the bill Monday, March 21 with a 32-1 vote.

Republican Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg (District 1) was the sole vote against the bill.

Herod told Rocky Mountain PBS that the bipartisan support of the bill “just acknowledges how far we’ve come.”

Democratic State Sen. James Coleman speaks at Cleo Parker Robinson Dance studio, Monday, May 2.

Members of the Black Democratic Legislative Caucus of Colorado first touted the bill Wednesday, March 2, on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol with Polis.

“This is a critical part of our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and movement to increase equality in state agencies,” said Colorado WINS president Skip Miller, who spoke at the March 2 event event.

“Making Juneteenth a state holiday means Colorado not only recognizes that Black people are free, but

that all people are free,” Sen. Coleman said at the Capitol.

Juneteenth — a portmanteau of the words June and nineteenth, the date on which the holiday takes place — is a celebration that started with the freed slaves of Galveston, Texas more than 150 years ago.

Though the Emancipation Proclamation freed enslaved people in the South in 1863, the proclamation was not enforced in many places in the South, including Texas, until after the Civil War ended in 1865. Until then, many enslaved people were unaware of what happened in the Civil War or the fact that they should have been freed.

On June 19, 1865, Union Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger and his troops arrived at Galveston. Granger brought with him General Order No. 3 which read, in part, “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free.”

The following year, the now-free people of Texas began celebrating Juneteenth. For a long time, the holiday was predominantly recognized in Texas, but eventually spread across the nation as Black Texans moved outside the state.

In June of 2021, following a nationwide racial justice movement sparked by the murder of George Floyd a year prior, President Joe Biden signed bipartisan legisla-

tion making Juneteenth a national holiday, the first new holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was created in 1983.

Earlier in 2021, Denver started officially recognizing Juneteenth after City Council unanimously approved a proposal to make the Saturday closest to June 19 a commemorative holiday.

“Denver has a proud, longstanding tradition of celebrating Juneteenth in the community,” District 8 Councilman Christopher Herndon said after the resolution passed last year.

“This is an opportunity to shine a light on Black history and officially recognize and celebrate our freedom, heritage, and achievement.”

Juneteenth is now the eleventh Colorado state holiday, joining: • New Year’s Day • Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day • President’s Day • Memorial Day • Independence Day • Labor Day • Frances Xavier Cabrini Day • Veterans Day • Thanksgiving • Christmas This story is from Rocky Mountain PBS, a nonprofit public broadcaster providing community stories across Colorado over the air and online.
