When the City of Englewood will be ready to move ahead with two major bridge and road projects is uncertain, officials said, after higher than projected costs put the plans on hold.
“Costs are rising,” said Englewood Mayor Othoniel Sierra. “It’s something that we need to figure out a way to get done.”
The site would be the third in the metro area for Bridge House, which has locations in Boulder and Aurora. According to Sandgren, the program estimates it could serve 48 residents each year who would live in the building and take part in job training to secure employment in the future.

But bids from contractors were beyond what the city could pay, officials said. The lowest bid for the Broadway and 285 project was more than $4.6 million
The latest cost estimates were $14.9 million for the Broadway and 285 project and $2 million for the Oxford Avenue project, according to city spokesperson Chris Harguth, with money coming from city, state and federal funds.

Colorado’s housing market is in a “totally different place” than it was during the Great Recession, when the market had too much housing inventory, or supply, and people had loans they couldn’t afford, Moye said.“A lot of times, people make the mistake of thinking we are headed right back to where we were in 2008, and that’s not true,” Moye said.

the assets listed above are only a few types of unique assets one may inherit or pass on. Its important to reach out and speak to an attorney to learn and understand how they can be passed on.
August was the fourth consecutive month of decreases in the median price for single-family homes in the metro area and statewide, according to the Colorado Association of Realtors’ most recent report. The median price was $620,000 in August in the metro area, down from $660,000 in
What did shake up the market lately was the interest rate hike taking
It’s unclear how long the shortterm downturn in prices will continue, particularly because the time of year — not just interest rates — are likely playing a role in pulling prices
“For buyers, there is a lot more inventory to choose from currently — however, that may not be the case for long,” Ecker said in the Sept. 13 newsThoughrelease.prices have dropped in the short term, a “true” price decline in the housing market would occur over an annual or multi-year time period, Cooper Thayer, a Douglas County-area Realtor, said in the release.Thecoronavirus pandemic shook up the housing market partly because, amid the spread of working from home, some people had flexibility in where they chose to live and drove up suburban home prices.

Sincerely, Brother Bob
My brother recently passed and left me a few items in his will. However, these are not typical assets. He left me his airline miles and his season tickets to the Denver Broncos. How should these be handled?
Dear Brother Bob,
A typical amount of supply for the Front Range — roughly from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs — is 24,000 houses on the market, according to Moye. But that region has about 6,000 houses on the market, she said in mid-September.
It is important to remember that your Estate Plans are just that – plans. The untimely event of incapacity or death is when we execute those plans. Estate planning is never about how much you have, but how much you care about what you have.
“Withdown.theschool year in full swing, we are experiencing a normal seasonal slowdown,” Barb Ecker, a Jefferson County-area Realtor, said in a news release from the Realtors’ association.Sheadded: “Sellers should be watching to see if more homes will be coming to the market. If not, we may see another strong seller’s market in January.”
Obviously,contract.
“A housing recession would mean more inventory than demand from buyers, so your supply and demand would be out of whack — it would be out of balance. And prices would be going down, not like the 11% appreciation we’ve seen so far this year, going up” in the long term, Moye added.
“Suddenly, they could afford (less) than they thought they could buy, and they ended up renting” or were pushed out of the market, Moye said.As demand changed, prices have been pulled back, too. From 2015 through 2019, homes in the Denver metro area were garnering about 100% of their listing price — or close to that, according to the Realtors’ report. In 2021, that number shot up to about 105%. Earlier this year, it reached above 106%.
And as families stayed home, they began looking at housing in new ways. “It was their office, their home, their gym, their schools for the kids, and suddenly people needed way more space,” Matthew Leprino, a Realtor based in metro Denver, has told Colorado Community Media.

Instead of a “screeching halt” in the housing market, Colorado is experiencing a slowdown to a more sustainable pace, Moye said.

Each of the assets listed above is handled in a completely different way. Reward points and airline miles (or anything similar) are typically handled by the institution that holds them. Most often a credit card company or bank. However, similar to an asset like season tickets, the holding institution will have specific instructions as to how, if at all, they can be passed. These things are addressed in the contract that is signed by the member. You will want to read the contract carefully and understand what it says. Often times, these things cannot be transferred to a beneficiary, there are exceptions, however. Each asset listed above will have a different method of gifting. Its important to understand how that asset is to be gifted. Heirloom property may be gifted and title transferred through a simple deed. Reward points and miles gifting is going to be stated in a specific

Kelly Moye bought her first house in the north Denver metro area for $120,000. That was in 1991.
The federal government’s move in recent months to raise interest rates — the cost of borrowing money — to combat inflation “almost changed our market overnight,” Moye said.
Still, Colorado isn’t seeing what some in the industry have termed a “housing recession,” Moye said — and it remains to be seen how the market will look on the other side of typical seasonal changes.
“In just a four-month period, we went from buyers … offering well over the seller’s asking price to having sellers offer them money to help pay down their interest rate payment,” Moye said.
Prices likely won’t ever come back down to that level, said Moye, who has worked as a Realtor for three decades. But home prices in the metro area and statewide have shown some early signs that they may be breaking the pandemic-era trend of steep
We receive questions about all kinds of assets that are not “typical”. These include things like reward points, airline miles, season tickets, cryptocurrency, digital tokens and art, firearms, and even “heirloom” property, such as the family cabin. It’s important to understand how these assets are handled by the court or how they are transferred.
But Colorado’s housing situation is still dire: This spring, the measure of housing affordability tracked by the association reached its lowest level since at least 2014 for both metro Denver and the state as a whole. While the market remains in an affordability crisis, the tracker has at least started to turn in the other direction.
And while the single-family home prices are still up compared to this time last year, the rate of year-overyear growth in prices has slowed for the last several months in the metro area and statewide.

Now, the percentage of the listing price received on home purchases has dipped below 100% for the first time since 2020, according to the report. For single-family homes, the rate was about 99% in August.
When looking at housing statistics, “it’s vital that we look at historic perspectives and shift our thinking to pre-pandemic, pre-multiple offers and yes, pre-extreme price increase madness,” Leprino said in the news release. He added: “The truth is that we have simply returned to more of a 2019 type of pace that’s simply less head spinning.”

Waring died in 1997, at the age of 96. He is memorialized with Houstoun Waring Circle, Houstoun Waring Theater at Arapahoe Community College, Houstoun Waring Meadow at Roxborough State Park, and the 1997 Western Welcome Week, a tradition he started in 1929, was dedicated to his memory.

That still leaves the project $1.5 million short, though Fox said she is “optimistic about the opportunity to leverage state funding options,” referencing a slew of grant programs available for local governments.Theproject could also address — in part — another crux of community leaders’ homeless plan: a physical navigation center.
FILE PHOTO BY DAVID GILBERT
Samma Fox, Littleton’s assistant to the city manager, said the $500,000 in funding would be “worth the value.” The total cost to get the project up and running is expected to be $5.6 million, according to Fox.
Arapahoe County has allocated $1 million for renovation, which joins $850,000 from Englewood and $250,000 from Sheridan that, when joined with the potential of $500,000 from Littleton, makes a combined total of $2.6 million.
“The reality is we already have people in our community who are eligible for this program.”
The police chief told council that, while such complaints were valid, a “small percentage, a very small percentage of folks, who are experiencing homelessness are involved in these types of behaviors.”
Seen from across the South Platte River, a man dismantles a canopy during a sweep of a homeless camp.
Pitched as a one-stop-shop for resources, a navigation center could house services for healthcare, job training, food assistance, addiction recovery and even temporary shelter, showers and laundry. While the project has raised hundreds of thousands for initial staffing, community leaders have so far been uncertain as to where it could be housed.“(Bridge House) could be a location for that, which is difficult to

Littleton Chief of Police Doug Stephens also spoke in support of the program and said the police department can’t act as a long-term solution to homelessness in the way programs like Bridge House can.
“We as a police department, me as a police chief, highly support as to all of you these types of resources for us,” he said.
Stephens said his officers have increased patrols on Fridays and Saturdays in certain areas of the city following complaints from mostly downtown-area business owners who’ve reported crimes from some who are unhoused.

The previous record year was 2020, when 34 people drowned in Colorado.Alargenumber of this year’s record deaths appear to be related to drinking alcohol, and to paddling or swimming from shore, state offi cials said. They underlined that life jackets are required even on increasingly popular stand-up paddleboards, and urged people to take them along.
“While it is true that some people don’t know they need a life jacket on a kayak or stand-up paddleboard, many just do not take the risk seriously,” Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesman Joseph Livingston said, in an email. “Legally they are required to have one onboard a vessel. Children under 13 have to wear it at all times.”
“Some common themes we saw in some of the drownings this year was the use of alcohol and people swimming from shore, on inner tubes, or paddling,” said Colorado Parks and Wildlife boating safety and registrations program manager Grant Brown, in the release.

Since the start of 2010 — when the median single-family home price in metro Denver was about $200,000 — the median price has roughly tripled. Statewide, it has tripled as well.“That’s significant — that’s not expected. It is certainly expected over 20 or 30 years for that to happen, but for us, we had so much significant (price) appreciation starting in 2013 through 2022,” Moye said, using a term for price increases.

There are signs placed in the cafe that have QR codes linking to an informational page, in English and Spanish, that further describes the piñatas and their cultural significance.“Ithink there’s a lot to learn. Each piñata tells a story, and I think those stories is where culture lies and where history lies,” said Anne Marie Boger, a community engagement coordinator at Arapahoe Libraries. “It’s a chance to learn and to relive and to celebrate.”

“It is said that during the time that the traveler Marco Polo was in China, he witnessed the celebrations that they had for their new year,” Ponce said, explaining piñata-style figures were part of the celebration.
When Spaniards conquered Mexico, they gave piñatas a religious meaning, Arredondo said. The seven spikes represented seven sins, and the blindfold people wore to break the piñata represented their blind faith. Once the piñata broke, what was inside the piñata represented the person’s Arredondoblessings.saidthese traditional piñatas were often used during Christmas and Las Posadas, a religious, traditional celebration leading up to Christmas from Dec. 16-24.

The piñatas are part of a new exhibit, called Celebrating Mexico/ Celebrando México, which debuted at Smoky Hill Library on Sept. 14 and will be open through Nov. 9.
exhibit is named “La alegría de la piñata” — which translates to “the joy of the piñata.” It’s her favorite because it is representative of history, since it is shaped like a traditional Mexican piñata with seven spikes on it.
“No, that is the point,” Arredondo said. “Piñata represents happiness and community.”

About 40 people gathered to celebrate the opening of the exhibit, which was developed through a partnership between Arapahoe County libraries, Museo de las Americas and a local artist, Maribel Arredondo.Arredondo said she will never forget the smiling faces she saw in the audience when she was introduced as the artist behind the exhibit. It almost made her cry to think of it.

Ollerton, a Centennial resident, learned about the event while at the library, she said.
The piñata exhibit has been months in the making. Planning began earlier this year when Museo de las Americas approached Arapahoe Libraries about co-hosting a traveling exhibit, Boger said.
A collaborative project
Museo de las Americas has had other traveling exhibits in the past, this one was different and really special because of the incorporation of a local artist who is part of the community, Moran said.
“Mamibel” is her nickname, she said, and “curious paper” relates to her desire to connect with people of other“I’mcultures.veryproud to be Mexican,” she said, explaining she enjoys teaching others about Mexican culture.ForArredondo, it’s especially important to share her heritage with her children. She compares herself to the father in the movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” a character who often spoke about the importance of having pride in the family’s culture.Mostof all, she hopes visitors of the exhibit gain a memorable experience from it, whether it be learning something new or taking photos of themselves with the piñatas.

“What we’re trying to do with these traveling exhibitions is to take the pieces out to the community,” Moran said. “Those pieces are for you to enjoy, to learn (from).”
“I would invite all of you to go ahead and check out our piñata exhibit, and you’ll see that we are a combination of all kinds of different, beautiful cultures,” Ponce told the crowd of attendees. “And that is what we’re celebrating today.”
Although creating the piñatas took about three months, the idea of a piñata exhibit crossed Arredondo’s mind about three years ago, sheCreatingsaid. a piñata can be a long process, but it’s also very fun, she said.Always a crafty individual, Arredondo, who grew up in Mexico, began making piñatas as a child, she“Artsaid.is my thing. I really love it,” sheArredondosaid. said she moved from Mexico to Colorado 12 years ago — the age of her first son. She now has three children.
she decided to create her own business, Curious Paper Art by Mamibel, which promotes Mexican art and offers cultural workshops.
“My word only today is thank you, because for me, it’s a great opportunity,” Arredondo said. “I’m super excited.”
“I lived in Peru for a year-and-ahalf, so I wanted to come see these awesome piñatas and celebrate,” Ollerton said, describing the piñatas as very well made, detailed and fun.
Celebration for all Boger said she could not have asked for a better turnout or crowd for the exhibit’s launch.
“We’re very happy to be here. I hope we can continue these trends (with) many other libraries,” Moran said.Boger said Arapahoe Libraries looks forward to future traveling exhibits, and it is open to partnering with other cultural institutions in the region as well.
“In light of the museum and the library celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, it just felt like the perfect cohesion of goals and celebration,” BogerHispanicsaid. Heritage Month is observed in the U.S. from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15. Moran also pointed out Mexican Independence Day is Sept.
“It is just spectacular,” she said.
A lifelong artist
Deciding to collaborate with Museo was a no-brainer, Boger said.
Around April, the Museo team introduced Arredondo to Arapahoe Libraries, Boger said.
“It just felt like, why not also celebrate a local Denver artist? And she was just the perfect third addition to the partnership,” Boger said.
Hosting traveling exhibits is something Museo is dedicated to because it helps prevent artwork from being left on the museum’s shelves and unseen by community members, said Claudia Moran, the executive director at Museo de las Americas.
“I like that it includes a lot of people, like specifically celebrating one group but in a way that everyone can feel involved and important,” she said about the exhibit.

The salesperson that the sales manager was coaching asked her for some guidance on a proposal that was being prepared for a potential prospect. As the salesperson took her through the proposal that was filled with information about every possible product and service that the company offered, she stopped and asked, “Is the prospect really interested in everything that we sell?” The answer was “no,” they were very focused on two specific solutions. She asked the salesperson why he was including everything else. The answer that came back seemed one of desperation, “My numbers are off, and I really want them to see more of our offerings in

Less is more is the way to go
To those saying no solely because of the board elected to the district, I say that may not be the best reason. You see, this funding, if approved, will benefit teachers and the district long after the terms of the seven members currently serving on the board end.

Sometimes there are situations that need to be talked through when disagreements or conflicts arise, or when we are faced with difficult conversations and situations. That is a healthy dialogue and not a monologue, so that is different. However, sometimes the less we speak, the clearer our points are made and the faster we come to a resolution and a best path forward.Proverbs 10:19 reads, “When there are many words, sin is unavoidable, but the one who controls their lips is prudent.”

hopes that I can make the deal a bit bigger.”Thankfully the sales manager took the time for some coaching, as the salesperson did win the business, because the proposal that was submitted was laser-focused on the specific needs of the customer and nothing else. They proposed only to the value that they could deliver and clearly quantified that value. Again, the less-ismore approach was the much better way toHavego. you ever found yourself in a situation where you felt the need to explain your position or that you had to apologize? And when you did, did you ever find yourself talking more than you really needed to talk? This happens all the time to many of us. We think the more we speak, the more we say, and the more we say, the more they hear. And when we keep speaking, sometimes we say even more things we didn’t really mean or using words that we really didn’t need to use. A less-is-more approach tends to restore normalcy faster than a flurry of babbling words.
All seven of these board members have behaved in a way that makes citizens shudder. Whether on the minority or the majority, I can say citizens have a reason to be concerned. There are lawsuits, controversies and allegations that spread continuously.Then,suddenly the board realized it wasn’t the best image to portray when asking voters to dig into their pockets and say yes to spending more money in taxes. Now, they have agreed to work together. Hopefully that continues after Nov. 8.
s the presenter gave his opening remarks and welcomed the audience, he shared with everyone the agenda for his talk, the most important elements where he hoped they would focus, the amount of time he was planning on speaking, and that he would try and get through his 115 slides as quickly as possible. As the groans started to rumble loudly through the audience at the thought of a 115-slide death march through PowerPoint, the presenter allowed just enough time to capture their attention before saying, “Actually it sounds like this group is my kind of group, the good news is that I only have three slides, and we will have more dialogue today than presentation, sound better?”Withthat, his audience cheered, he had their attention, and he was off to what would be a phenomenal talk. His less-ismore approach really won them over.

SEE NORTON,
We can start with the Douglas County School District. It has been interesting to see the comments and opinions posted about the school district asking for a rather sizable bond and mill levy override. One of the main reasons for saying no seems to be centered around distaste for the current school board.
In other ballot questions throughout the region, cities and towns in Arapahoe and Douglas counties are asking for continued open space taxes, increased lodging taxes and other
Many of these measures are aimed at beefing up public safety. Let’s face it, defunding the police cannot really be an option when Colorado leads the country in car thefts and major crime rates are going up across the Denver metro area.

If you disagree on what the district is saying in terms of how they will use the money — then say no. But, if the sole reason is a dysfunctional board — I would say give it a bit more thought.
Am I endorsing the proposed tax hikes — no. I am just adding to the conversations I am seeing spread throughout the community.Itisnosecret that Colorado is not doing exactly what it should be doing at the state level to fund education. If Douglas County wants to continue to reach a level of excellence they require — more money has to come from you to do it.

The formula of an aging population plus a stagnant economy equals a cloudy outlook under historical standards. But these are unusual times.
The fi ve largest economies, U.S., China, Japan, Germany, and the U.K., have an average of 24.4% of their population that are age 65 or older.¹ This age group is typically referred to as non-productive, or of retirement age. A strong economy needs a strong labor force and currently we are heading toward one-fourth of the population potentially creating a drag on resources.Nowlet’s look at the economic backdrop to this aging population. Growth has eluded the United States the last two quarters, reporting negative GDP (Gross Domestic Product). Typically, that could meet the defi nition of a recession, however we continue to have low unemployment.

Growth can be fueled by technology and low unemployment. Trade with underdeveloped countries with younger demographics and higher growth can also help keep prices low.

The life expectancy in the U.S. has almost doubled since 1875 when age 39 was considered an average lifetime. The current expectancy is 79.05 and has been increasing. It is expected to reach age 80 by 2029 and age 85 by 2064. 2 Therefore longevity should be a major consideration in your retirement planning during all economic cycles.
Thank you for your hard work. Keep it up.

Shirley was born in Evanston, Illinois in 1930, she grew up in Wheaton, Illinois and attended Wheaton High School. Shirley was the fourth of ve children born to Jacob and Blanche Way. Christine Way Lynn of Washington, DC is her only remaining sibling.
Shirley loved all kinds of music; she adored opera and classical music. Shirley loved the mountains, gardening, and all things to do with food. Her family meant the world to her.
Shirley is preceded in death by her husband George and her daughter Karen O’Brien Brunner.

Shortly after graduating high school Shirley met the love of her life, George O’Brien. ey married in 1950 and started a family. In 1965 George was transferred to Colorado with Western Electric.
I am writing in response to the article titled “From the Editor: I have been there — Unmasking mental health can lead to help,” published in your newspaper the week of Sept. 15,There2022. has been a noticeable increase in people feeling depressed and anxious because our surroundings have become uncontrollable since the COVID-19 pandemic. Something needs to be done to ensure that people know how important mental health is, especially since 2020, with the unpredictable things that have affected so many people’s lives.

The misconception is rooted in the people who believe those with mental health conditions that can mask their illness don’t indeed have that illness. We as a society need to realize that it is not shameful to have troubles with our mental health, and you are not alone if you are struggling with it.

George passed away in 1969, leaving Shirley, a 38-year-old widow, with 7 children, ages 4 to 19 years. Over the course of her life Shirley was a homemaker, she worked in the restaurant industry and was a food caterer.
One of those cul-de-sac homeowners is Emily Brooks, who maintains an 11,598-square-foot yard.

“It’sout.
While Brooks decided to pay for a landscape designer and hire a company to do the dirty work, she realizes not everyone has the financial means. Or, they just want to do it themselves.
Her neighbors took notice of the change and jumped in. Two homes in the cul-de-sac hired the same landscape designer and changed their yard to about 50% native species or xeriscape.A15-minute drive from the Brookses lives Christopher Stimpson with his wife. They replaced almost 75% of their outdoor space with less waterintensive options.
However, too much of a good thing isn’t always a good thing.
Matthew Makley, a professor of history at Metropolitan State University of Denver, said the popular Kentucky bluegrass isn’t native to the United States at all.

Drive around Westminster’s Hyland Greens neighborhood and you’ll see that: a typical residential area with single-family homes fronted by wellmanicured, lush, beautiful lawns.
Her backyard takes in a lot of heat and sun, making it hard to keep the Kentucky bluegrass alive. Still, she wanted the grass aesthetic and plans to replace a portion with native grasses that don’t require much water and thrive in the sun. She added a patio as well.
Until last year, those yards were two green Kentucky bluegrass lawns. In 2021, she and her husband embarked on a project to replace more than 50% of the lawn with rocks, gravel and native plant species.
“There was water everywhere, but we don’t have that (in Colorado),” she said.So she yanked out the portions of both her lawns, replaced them with less water-intensive plants and created walkways with gravel.

“It was all grass,” she said. “My dad bought himself a riding lawn mower and his weekend project in the summer was taking care of that lawn. Everybody took care of their lawn, that was the culture. The pride of ownership was reflected in what your lawn looked like.”
Most historians believe the lawn started in Europe, most likely in France and England. Castles would

The roots of grass
She did what made sense — the majority of the change took place in her front yard since her dogs use the grass in her backyard. In the particularly sunny spots in the front, she replaced it with gravel since the grass didn’t grow well in the sun. She used gravel on the side of her house and made a utility space for trash bins.
but already saw large reductions in water. In July 2020 their household used 35,000 gallons of water. In 2022, they used 22,000 gallons.
That viewpoint is changing with her own home in Colorado. She and her husband bought their first home in Hudson, Wisconsin with a brook running through their half-acre backyard. After moving to Colorado, water remains an important concern for her.
“When my grandson was three, the thing he loved best was sitting in the gravel with a spade and a bucket,” he said. “Filling it up, emptying it, filling it up. He didn’t care about the grass.”
Even though Brooks and Stimpson both began replacing their lawns, they don’t doubt the benefits of lush grass. Brooks noted her dogs enjoy running in the grass and Stimpson enjoys sitting in his chairs that are on the grass. They’re good for recreation, too.
A xeriscaped section of Emily Brooks’ front yard.
For Stimpson, who originally moved from London to New Jersey and then to Colorado, climate played a role in his decision. Not only was his grass not doing well due to the weather, but he felt a moral responsibility to switch it
Saving water and investing in their home proved to be their driving force for the change. It wasn’t something they were used to. The two hail from the Midwest and Emily grew up in a Wisconsin home with a half-acre lot.
Stimpson decided to get his hands dirty and do it himself. Most of his costs came from buying rocks and gravel.Inhis front, rocks and pebbles lie beneath a tree. Like Emily, the grass proved difficult to maintain because of the beating sun. In the back, a small patch of grass in a shady spot provides room for his dog and chairs to enjoy outside without the need for sunscreen.Nexttoit is a deck with a vine climbing up the side to provide shade for a table.

Just as they were hundreds of years ago, lawns today are also seen as a status symbol. Beyond that, Robbins’ research showed respondents often said “What goes on outside the house tells you what goes on inside the house,” indicating they are also an in dicator of morals. That’s tied to social psychology. Many places in the world don’t maintain lawns, so it’s a learned behavior.“Lawncare companies who are trying to expand their markets have to really work hard when they go outside the United States to convince people that it’s worth putting the money and the time into having a lawn,” Robbins said. “If they’re going to expand the number of intensive lawn care users, they have to teach people to care about it.”However, lawn social psychology in the U.S. seems to be changing.

In other countries around the world, those mar kets topped out and farmers remain efficient in their use of nutrient inputs andScott’s,pesticides.aleading company in the lawn care industry, figured out push advertising. Robbins believes that’s a reason they’ve been successful.
Lawns are ingrained in American culture and imposed by convention.
“Scott’s learned that you say, ‘Here’s a product that will solve all your prob lems. Go ask for it by name.’ It totally changed the industry because they need people to buy this stuff. There’s an economy behind it, it employs a
“What will change the value of the house is if it doesn’t look nice. If it’s just dirt and it’s kind of scratchy and it’s got weeds and it’s not well kept, that will deter from the price of the home,” Moye said.
However, it depends on the location and the neighborhood.
that we think of today with American lawns is actually in digenous to parts of North Africa and Europe,” Makley said.
In fact, she said most people prefer a native species or xeriscape garden in the front of their house and grass in the back for dogs, kids and barbecues.
“I believe it goes back to the neigh borhood. Well-groomed landscaping in Cherry Creek will carry more value, I believe, than a well-groomed yard in Boulder,” said Tom Cech, the found ing director of One World One Water Center.InMoye’s experience, attitudes among people are trending more to wards sustainability. Moye said buyers want smaller spaces, smaller carbon footprints and less grassy lawns.
He did find that there are many people who feel great satisfaction from mowing their lawn, and the smell of fresh-cut grass brings nostalgia.
In the 1990s and 2000s, she said a bright green, lush lawn was a real selling point for single-family homes. Now, people are more environmentally and cost-sensitive — they see lawns as requiring more money for mainte nance and using water where it isn’t needed.Thedecision to have a lawn or a xeriscaped garden doesn’t affect the home value either, she said, as long as it looks well kept.

They were planting not just the grasses, but a new social order, a new economic order as well,” he said.
However, he learned that most felt ambivalent about lawns.Which led him to ask — why do they exist, then?
Stimpson has seen that change walk ing around his neighborhood. Many of his neighbors already have or started to change what their outdoor spaces look like. Although, he still notes a divide within the community.

“People who are intensive lawn man agers feel really crappy about it. They feel guilty, but they feel that they have to do it for their neighbors because of the homeowners association, or what ever else,” he said.
Class, morals and values
Kelly Moye, a realtor in Boulder and Broomfield counties, has been selling homes since 1991 and she’s seen a shift away from lawns in buyers’ demands.

clear the land around their immedi ate vicinity to allow for clear visibility in case of foreign advances.
That’s what Paul Robbins, dean of the Nelson Institute for Environmen tal Studies at the University of Wiscon sin-Madison, found in his research for his book “Lawn People: How Grasses, Weeds and Chemicals Make Us Who WeHisAre.”research showed lawns in America mostly began to boom in the 1950s, and rarely are lawns peoples’ first choice. Homeowners associations enforce their upkeep, construction companies lay out single-family home lots with leftover space and social pres sure for green grass to maintain prop erty values is imposed by neighbors.
That reimagination may be taking place today.
Seeing the odd crop not just as a sup port for livestock, there is a status to having a lawn — and the 17th-century American colonies were status-bound.
“The benefits are marginal, whereas the costs are enormous,” he said.
As well, his research also found chemicals used for lawns end up indoors. In one experiment, analytic chemists walked across chemically treated lawns with white boots and then walked indoors. They measured the amount of chemicals that ended up inside and how long they persisted. Turns out, the chemicals remain in house dust for a long time — chemicals that are known to cause mutations and can cause “There’scancer.noquestion that the health costs outweigh the health benefits of having an intensively managed lawn,” Robbins said.
Robbins noted that the money used for maintaining a lawn could be used to remodel a kitchen or a bathroom, which can increase the value of a home more so than a lawn.

A group of eight established Colorado artists, who have been planning this exhibit for a year or so, opened “Recombobulation” at Curtis Center for the Arts at 2349 E. Orchard Road, Greenwood Village, which will run through Oct. 29. It should interest art lovers in the area, including younger ones, who may find inspiration to experiment. (Note the kids’ work near the entrance, produced in Michelle Lamb’s classes there.)
“Combobulate” means to put something together. So, while one does not find a dictionary definition of “Recombobulation,” one can assume that it speaks of putting even more things together ... The art of assemblage holds similar meaning.
Artists included in this exhibit are: Deborah Jang, Mark Friday, Michelle Lamb, Susan Blosten, Jimmy Descant, Leigh Campbell, Floyd Tunson and Kelton Osborn.

Kelton Osborn says his works include marks and images that relate to past experiences. “I do not work in a linear process, but rather in a spiral that allows influences from multiple sources ...” Note his “Dead Fish and Debutantes” on a pedestal in the middle of the gallery.Longtime Denver artist Floyd D.

Looking at life from one direction, I see the terror of chaos, man’s inhumanity to man, mortality and the vastness of the unknown. From another direction, the human condition seems like a magnificent, orderly evolution of extraordinary beauty.”

I’m of the opinion that if you write a song as good as “These Days,” you should be able to basically coast for the rest of your life.

“A lot of companies that were looking for (skilled labor), they’re not in a hurry to lay people off because there’s so much effort and cost to bring them back when the economy starts to rebound,” said Steven Byers, senior economist with Common Sense Institute, a conservative think tank in Greenwood Village. “Right now, I think there’s so many job openings nationwide and in Colorado that I don’t see (hiring) dropping off.”
Companies are also moving to and expanding in Colorado. In Colorado Springs, The Aerospace Corporation, which is one of those nonprofits that operates a federally funded research and development facility, unveiled its new 90,000-square-foot Space Warfighting Center just south of the Colorado Springs airport.
There are still more than 120,000 jobs listed on the state’s job board even as new weekly jobless claims are still slightly higher than they were in 2019.

So, the results?
A twin living in a legal state, on average, reports using marijuana more frequently than their co-twin living in a state where recreational marijuana use is illegal, according to the Zellersstudy.said the difference is about 20% — which amounts to consuming cannabis on five more days per every six months. Twins living in states where recreational cannabis use is illegal, on average, consumed on 13 days in the previous six months, while twins living in legal states consumed on 18 days. (Zellers said she and her coauthors weighted the data for age and other factors to standardize it, which is why the difference between those numbers isn’t exactly 20%.)
“This is the first study to confirm that the association between legal cannabis and increased use holds within families in genetically identical individuals,” John Hewitt, a professor in CU’s Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, said in a statement. “This makes it much more likely that legalization does, in itself, result in increased use.”
So she went looking for a different method, and she found it in a massive dataset on the lives of twins born in Colorado or Minnesota.
That helped solve two big problems other studies on legalization have run into. How can you be sure that aggregate changes in marijuana use are the result of individual people changing how they use marijuana and not population changes that occurred post-legalization? And how can you fairly compare the behaviors of two people when they might differ in so many ways?
“Wehappen?don’tknow why someone might have changed their use,” Zellers
Study sees more pot use after legalization
Beyond the headline result, there are still a lot of unanswered questions in the new study.
Colorado voters gave marijuana green light in 2012 balloting
In the decade since Colorado voters passed Amendment 64 legalizing adult use of marijuana in state law, a slew of studies have tried to estimate the They’veimpact.looked broadly and more narrowly, and have concluded — depending on how you might read them — that legalization either did or did not lead to an increase in can-
The data are longitudinal, meaning they follow the same people over long periods of time. And twins make for intriguing research subjects because they are not only genetically similar but they also generally grow up in the same household, meaning they typically share the same socioeconomic background, education experience and other social factors.
There’s also the issue of motivation — if this increase is legit, why did it
SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE
A new study shows that legalization may lead to people using marijuana more frequently.
Using the data, Zellers looked at more than 3,400 adult twins born in Colorado and Minnesota and charted where they were living just prior to legalization. Some were still living in the state of their birth, some had moved; some pairs were living in the same state while other pairs had split and were living in separate states. The variability allowed her to effectively create a randomized controlled trial, something normally not possible when you’re talking about government policies.

The dataset also neatly straddled a dividing line — Colorado voters have legalized marijuana for recreational use, while Minnesota, which is otherwise similar to Colorado in a number of ways, has not.
“This is about as conclusive as we can say that the policy does cause more use,” Zellers said.
Lastly,said.the study doesn’t explore potential consequences to the apparent increase in cannabis use. Did people suffer worse health problems? Did they cut back on their use of alcohol or other substances?
PRESENTS
But a new study, conducted by a former Ph.D. student in Colorado, takes perhaps the most novel approach yet and comes to the conclusion that legalization may, in fact, lead to people using marijuana more frequently.Thestudent, Stephanie Zellers, was studying neuroscience at the University of Colorado before she followed her adviser to finish up her doctorate at the University of Minnesota. She was interested in studying the effects of substance use on the brain, but a lot of studies on the brain work the same way: you have to crack open the craniums of lab animals. That didn’t sit well with Zellers.
For one, these are self-reported statistics. So it’s possible that twins living in states where marijuana use is illegal were less likely to report their true levels of use.
did and happening to be legal in one state and not in the other,” Zellers said in a video interview from Finland, where she is conducting postdoctoral research on tobacco use.
“It’s pretty rare to have this amount of data on this many people going this far back.”
“I think we got really lucky with legalization happening the way it
The study’s finding is in line with those from a large-scale state report released last year, which found that cannabis use has increased among adults in Colorado since legalization. (The trends around youth use are more muddled, but there is ultimately no conclusive evidence that legalization caused more kids to use cannabis.)Thenovel approach of the research, though, provides it with extra heft, another of the study’s authors said.

Zellers said that is the subject of a follow-up study that she hopes will be published by the end of the year.

As you can see in the table above, abortion rights were not as much of a concern for Colorado voters when compared to other issues. This could be due to the fact that abortion access is codified in Colorado. However, if anti-abortion politicians were to take control of the Colorado legislature, that law could be repealed.Climate change was also low on the list; only 11% of Coloradans listed climate change as one of the top three issues that elected officials shouldOtheraddress.pollquestions stemmed from recent events and news about civil rights, including teaching the history of racism and discrimination in the United States to K-12 students, as well as providing a safe environment for LGBTQ+ students atEighty-twoschool.

To use a specific example, the poll asked if voters would be in support of ballot initiative #108, which would generate $270 million annually by diverting 0.1% of the taxable income from the General Fund to the State Affordable Housing Fund, according to a nonpartisan fiscal analysis. Across party lines, 77% of respondents said they would vote in favor of that initiative.

Colorado adds water quality protections for South Platte, Clear Creek
The Colorado Water Quality Control Commission unanimously reversed a controversial 2020 decision and added new pollution protections for the South Platte River and Clear Creek through metro Denver, citing a “compelling” campaign by environmental justice advocates who demanded the repeal.
The vote on Sept. 13 adds new defenses for urban streams and culminates a two-year campaign by a broad coalition of conservation groups, racial and economic justice advocates and local, state and federal officials to overturn the 2020 ruling. That year’s ruling had said existing polluters could discharge more waste into the urban streams without new state anti-degradation reviews.Nowthose permitted polluters, including Metro Water Recovery and Molson Coors, will have to prove any new actions won’t further damage the Denver-area streams, where aquatic life is already troubled by runoff, pollution discharge and highThetemperatures.hearingsthis week were the result of the commission previously agreeing to review arguments from its own staff and the outside coalition, including Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, that their 2020 decision had essentially written off urban streams as hopeless.“This is a historic moment for Colorado.

The initial 2020 decision, and a commissioner’s statement at the time that higher protections were reserved for “pristine mountain waters,” infuriated a coalition of dozens of conservation groups and local governments, from Colorado GreenLatinos to Trout Unlimited to Denver City Council members. They wrote to Gov. Jared Polis last year arguing that the statewide commission was “prioritizing industrial profits over the safety and well being of residents who have been historically disproportionately affected by pollution.”
• Keep it polite: No name calling or “mudslinging.”
Those users joined with the environmental coalition to argue the urban streams were abused for decades by polluters and developers who paved and contaminated the waterfront.

“The Water Quality Control Commission’s decision highlights that no river is beyond repair. These protections recognize decades of work to restore water quality on the South Platte and Clear Creek from the impacts of industrial pollution,” said Josh Kuhn, Conservation Colorado water campaign manager. “This is an important step toward ensuring all of Colorado’s communities have equitable access to clean water.”
“I am offended that a company that makes its profit and markets its brand off the clean water of this state would work so hard to prevent protections for that clean water,” Commission Chair April Long said, before the final unanimous vote to upgrade the stretches of stream to “reviewable”Commissionerwaters.Jennifer Bock cited “compelling” testimony in favor of stronger protections that came Monday during the first day of a two-day hearing, from metro residents who use the South Platte River and Clear Creek for fishing, boating and cycling.

forunate to get on our hands on a few of the balls. We had too many penalties. Some of them I think we earned and some of them probably not. We’ll get those cleaned up. I thought the offensive line was the key to the running game.”
“We just executed,” said Herron. “Coach Logan always brings that up. We always have a good run game and with these backs, we are always going to be efficient with the run game. Tonight was pretty fun. It was homecoming week. I learned a lot in the game. I’ve got to be more explosive and bring more energy.”

Cherry Creek football coach Dave Logan cautioned fans not to get wrapped up in the final score. The top-ranked and three-time defending Class 5A champion Bruins whipped Arvada West, 62-21, in a Sept. 16 game played at the Stutler Bowl.“We have a long ways to go,” said Logan. “This is a long season. You learn a lot about your team during the regular season during wins and losses.“Itis the same as it always has been for us. We want to be playing our best football in November. What you can’t do is look too far ahead. This is a week-to-week proposition.”
Eagles coach Adam Buseck made some personnel changes in the second half but insists it was his team that ignited the comeback after the teams played a scoreless first half.
“We played a lot of guys in the second half, which is always good, and listen, Arvada West is a really good team,” said Logan. “It got away from them a little bit in the first half. We had several big turnovers and two defensive scores.”
Arvada West’s passing game and quarterback Ethan Cook was a challenge for the Bruins despite four Creek interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Too many penalties against the Bruins were another concern.“Theyare a really good passing team,” added Logan “They have good receivers, good skilled position players and the quarterback has been a two-year starter. We knew they could throw it and they did a lot of good things in the passing game especially in the first couple drives.“Wehad a hard time getting them slowed down. We made a couple adjustments which helped us. We were

limited everybody except Cook and Brady Witherspoon, who teamed up for three TD receptions.
“We have a lot of juniors who play a lot, we do have a lot of seniors too, but the juniors really have matured,” said Buseck. “It’s showing that they want to fight and win games.

“It was our first win in league so that sets us up to start league play,” said Buseck. “The Continetal League is still tough. It does feel open this season and this sets us up for league play and we’ll see if we can get more.”
Luis Beimad’s Rock Canyon team slipped to 2-3-2 and 0-1.
Heritage improved its overall record to 3-2-1 and 1-0 in the Continental League while coach
“The first one I kind of found a space inside the 18, got a punch on the ball and shot it on goal and it went in,” said Gilbert. “The second one, Zach (Armijo) shot it and a player checked it right to me.
“We just had to stay focused. We’ve won the last two games so it can only being going up for us.”
Liam Gilbert scored both Heritage goals in the comeback win after Rock Canyon’s Aiden Bowman gave the Jaguars a 1-0 lead in the 65th minute with a penalty kick goal.

sity, staying positive, don’t let the referee bother you, don’t yell at each other, don’t yell at your opponent. The guys did a good job of buying into that against Rock Canyon.”Sophomore
