Englewood Municipal Judge Joe Je erson feels one of the greatest issues currently facing the court is public trust.
Je erson, who highlighted this issue in his State of the Courts address in August, said “public trust in the justice system is paramount to compliance with the law and ultimately public safety.”
He said the law is basically a community agreement to do justice to each other.
“How do we do that? I think the great resets of COVID and some of the criminal justice reform movements have sort of put this issue front and center,” Je erson said.
In his State of the Courts address, Je erson gave examples of other issues the court is facing, which includes technology, unfunded
state mandates and coordination of stakeholders. He feels public trust is an issue greatly impacting the court.
“I think we’re at a really big crossroads on that issue as a community and as a country,” he said.
Je erson said the best way the court could improve public trust is “deeper mutual understanding.”
“I think it’s the court’s duty to inform the people in the community about what we do and why,” he said. “But I think everyone has a role in ensuring ‘justice for all’ in Englewood and we all have a piece of that pie.”
He said while it’s the court’s duty to inform the public on its proceedings, it’s also a team e ort between other areas of Englewood’s government to provide clear communication.
“It’s a collaboration between the branches of government to ensure the nal project is good,” Je erson said. “ at inherently is a little bit of a struggle because there’s that system of checks and balances and it requires communication, mutual understanding and good faith.”
In the State of the Courts, Jefferson mentioned various forms of state legislation that will impact Englewood including House Bill 23-1182, which went into e ect in September.
“ e state legislature passed a bill that said all courts in Colorado must provide access to virtual, not participation, but virtual observation to criminal court cases unless there is a reason why,” he said.
Je erson said he feels this applies to the Englewood court and the issue with that bill is the ability for the court to comply due to technological and sta ng problems.
“We were excited to comply with some of the new technology and our ability to handle virtual proceedings but as we’re kind of approaching the goal line we’re having issues with our technology and sta ng levels,” Je erson said.
He said the court will have to delay that e ort until they have the sta and technology to comply with the bill.
“ e bill says within 91 days of our ability to comply we should comply, and I envision that happening through our YouTube channel,” he said. “
He said he wants to give the public the chance to view court proceedings if they’re interested in staying informed as to what is happening in the community and in the courts.
“Our plan in my mind is to comply when we have the ability and I just believe that that’s going to provide additional levels of transparency to the public on what we do and
why and I think we’ll just improve service levels,” Je erson said.
He said he also feels providing virtual participation will help with the issue of trust.
“I think the third branch of government, the judicial branch, has struggled with transparency, and I think we have a golden opportunity here to provide the appropriate level of transparency to our proceedings and I think that’s ultimately going to increase public trust,” Je erson said.
In addition to virtual participation, Je erson said there are programs operated through the court that assist with public trust such as the Court Navigator Program. is program, now led by former Littleton prosecutor Arnie Shunneson, began in 2021 and is meant to assist people in crisis, get to the root cause of their struggles and help them move past those challenges. “ e mission of the court is to provide justice with dignity for all and I think we’re all somewhat familiar with the concept of justice for all,” Je erson said. “I think the real advancement is the insertion of this concept of dignity and ensuring we provide some levels of what is known as procedural justice.”
He said the court wants to ensure people are heard and seen and “handled with a certain level of humanity.”
e origin of the court’s mission to ensure “dignity for all” comes from Je erson’s 2017 campaign where he said he wanted to highlight that the court could improve its rehabilitation services.
“Where I felt like we could improve was providing more rehabilitation and restoration opportunities to sort of avoid this issue of conveyor belt of justice,” Je erson said.
He explained the Court Navigator Program is voluntary for people and has shown how to help citizens comply with their sentences, ensure people understand what’s required of them to move forward and ensure they’re helped with any concerns in that process.
“It helps them improve themselves and improve their lives. (We look at) what are the barriers to success,” Je erson said.
e Arapahoe County Board of Health is going to expand next year, moving from a ve-member board to seven, starting on Jan. 1.
With board members Nancy Sharpe and Nancy Jackson terming out at the end of 2023, the county is accepting applications for four total board seats.
e Board of Health oversees Arapahoe County Public Health, which began operations at the start of 2023 after the Tri-County Health Department dissolved after the pandemic when Douglas County opted out of the partnership.
e foundational Board of Health is currently made of up ve members who were appointed with staggered terms.

At a study session on July 31, the Board of Health recommended a board expansion in order to add more diversity to the board.
“We’re the third largest county in the state,” Sharpe, a former county commissioner, said. “We can look for more opportunity to bring people onto the board and have more expertise or diversity in knowledge and expertise on the board.”
On Sept. 12, the commissioners unanimously approved the expansion to seven members.
e members will serve staggered terms, with no more than two elected o cials on the board and at least one board member being an elected o cial with a county perspective.

He said the program strives to break through those barriers by providing resources such as mental health services, medical services, housing opportunities, and other necessities.
Je erson explained the program is an example of building public trust.
Campbell-Swanson thanked the board members, especially Jackson and Sharpe, for laying the groundwork of the board and leading it to its expansion.
“I’m really glad that we’re doing that and can create that opportunity for more seats and perspectives at the table for the most diverse county in the state,” she said. “One with rural, urban, (agricultural), suburban areas. I think it’s a really positive move and I hope everybody applies.”
Applications for the Board of Health seats are open through Oct.
6. Applications are available online at https://arapahoegov.com/boh.
Applications include several questions and an option to upload a resume, county sta said on Sept. 12. e county will schedule interviews in October and hopes to appoint its new members by the end of the year.
All applicants must be residents of Arapahoe County.
Ideal candidates should possess expertise in public health, environmental health, nonpro ts,
“It’s a substantial fundamental element and part of that is at least recognized through the voluntary nature of this,” he said. “No body is sentences to this program. is is a voluntary engagement that they agree to as part of their own volition to improve themselves and comply with the court sentence.”

Hundreds of thousands of people across Colorado and surrounding states gathered for the Arapahoe Libraries Used Book Sale at Koelbel Library.
Volunteer Coordinator Nicole Dumville, who has been with the library for over four years, said a record number of people attended the rst night of the sale Sept. 13.
“It’s going really great. We kicked o with our Friends only preview night which is usually a good crowd but (Wednesday) was the biggest we’ve seen in years,” Dumville said. She said the sale was shut down during the pandemic but in the last two years more and more people have returned for the sale.
“I feel like as we get farther away from 2020 the numbers have been increasing,” she said. “ at’s really great to see because there’s such feel-good events and we have volunteers that put so much work into everything.”
Dumville said there are around 40,000 books hand selected by 30
core volunteers and sta who assist with the used book sale.
“ e volunteers go through every single book. ey have guidelines that they meticulously work on every year,” she said.
All of the books are donated and any books the library doesn’t keep or has left over from the sale goes to a local organization called Dream Books.
“We’ve been partnering with them since October 2021 and they actually come and pick up the books and their goal is to keep them out of land lls which is great for us as well because we know we want the books to have a long life,” Dumville said.
Dumville said she loves the used book sale for a number of reasons.
“I love seeing how much people still love books. I love seeing the work of our volunteers pay o and seeing their excitement to have the crowds,” she said.
Additionally, Dumville loves that all the proceeds from the sale goes back into the library.
She said the sale was originally started 25 years ago to help fund the

Downtown Littleton exploded with color the second weekend of September, as artists from across the state decorated the sidewalks of Main Street with chalk.
It was Littleton’s rst Walk the Chalk Festival, organized by a group of downtown merchants working with a grassroots approach to create fun, family-friendly events in the area.
Kelsey Riley, who owns ElseWear Collective on South Prince Street, was the lead creator of the event.
“We’re trying to really make downtown another destination place … that has activities and events that are family-friendly, that everyone can attend, and a variety of them,” she said.
e chalk festival was the rst event put on by the new merchant group. Riley said the group plans to host other activities downtown through the end of the year and into the future.
Over 20 artists participated in the chalk festival, using about four blocks of downtown sidewalk as their canvases, Riley said.
Many local business owners contributed to the event by donating special discounts to the artists.
“It is a community kind of thing,” she said. “Even the restaurants and the food and (beverage) places were also in on it and contributing and part of the event.”
Riley said the event was a success and her group is already making plans for the second downtown Children at the Walk the
event decorated the sidewalks with their own artwork.
Nine candidates are running for four seats on the Centennial City Council. With the Nov. 7 election just around the corner, the Centennial Council of Neighborhoods, or CenCON, will host a forum on Sept. 25.
e candidate forum will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 25, at the Arapahoe Libraries administration building, located at 12855 E. Adam Aircraft Circle.

Englewood residents Davon Williams and Katie Wilberding Cross are running for two seats on the Englewood Board of Education.
Englewood Public School Superintendent Joanna Polzin said Cross and Williams are the only two candidates running and while their names will be on the November ballot, they will ll the seats as they’re running unopposed.
In addition to school board seats, voters will also have the option to answer a question regarding the Debt-Free Schools Mill Levy. e board approved this ballot measure in a special meeting on Aug. 29.
A mill levy is the tax rate that is applied to the assessed value of a property. One mill levy is $1 per $1,000 of the assessed value of a property.
District documents show the question will appear on the ballot as follows:
“Shall Arapahoe County School District no. 1 taxes be increased by not more than $4 million in 2023 for collection in 2024 and by such
amounts as may be received in any year thereafter from a mill levy of up to 11 mills, with such revenue to be used for ongoing cash funding for new technology, existing technology upgrades, maintenance needs of the district, and capital construction provided:
• Such revenue will be utilized to o set costs which will free up more general fund revenue for purposes such as continuing to attract and retain quality sta including but not limited to teachers, custodians, paraeducators, bus drivers, and nutrition services personnel; and
• Such mill levy may be increased annually to generate the prior year’s revenue adjusted for the annual in-
crease in the consumer price index; Provided that the mill levy for the rst year shall not exceed 5 mills and no mill levy increase from year to year thereafter shall exceed one mill in any particular year; and shall such additional revenues, imposed pursuant to and in accordance with section 22-54-108.7, C.R.S., be deposited into the supplemental capital construction, technology and maintenance fund; and shall the district be authorized to increase such mill levy -4- beginning in tax collection year 2024 and annually thereafter to o set property tax refunds or abatements or reductions in the percentage of actual valuation used to determine
assessed valuation?”
Polzin said if passed the mill levy will not increase property taxes for Englewood homeowners. She said it “will be instrumental in ensuring our sta receive the compensation they deserve, and our students continue to have access to high quality programming,”
Additionally, if passed, the district will utilize the revenue from the mill levy for funding for technology, maintenance, capital construction and educational programming.
Polzin said if voters vote yes this will be the rst mill levy passed for the district since 2016.
Mary Cooper, executive director of budget and nance said the mill levy will enable the district to continue investing responsibly into its schools.
“Englewood Schools will decrease our overall General Obligation Bond Mill Levy by approximately ve mills and increase the DebtFree Schools Act mill by the same amount, resulting in no net change for overall residential property taxes,” Cooper said. “We can invest in our students and teachers without raising property taxes for homeowners.”
e district’s website says, if passed, the mill levy will generate
Would you rather have high in ation or high interest rates? at Goldilocks economy where we had low interest rates and low in ation is now a distant memory and reality is setting in.
e Fed has been targeting in ation and has been successful in bringing it down considerably so far this year. e trade-o is higher interest rates. And due to a “tardy’ recession” according to Chief Economist Bill Greiner, CFA, higher interest rates for longer.
If you are taking out a mortgage, you want lower interest rates. If you are selling a house, in ation may help you get a better price. It is all relative to what you are buying or borrowing.
Interest rates may need to stay elevated to get the economy on a stable track and without spikes in in ation. So far, it appears the Fed managed a “soft landing” where raising rates did not trigger an immediate recession. e two stubborn indicators keeping us out of recession have been the rather healthy housing market and very low unemployment.
Higher interest rates for longer means it may take longer to curb the higher housing prices. Some geographical areas are experiencing lower housing prices as new owners struggle to qualify for the expensive home purchase plus a 7% or higher borrowing rate. is forces the seller to come down on their price to compensate for the higher monthly mortgage. However due to low inventory, this is a slow turn and will

take some time.
Housing inventory is low because there are not as many people on the move. Who wants to give up a current 2.5% rate and move for a 7%plus rate? erefore more people are staying put and spending money on home improvements instead. As more housing is built, this imbalance will eventually shift, but it takes time to bring more housing to market.
e strong jobs market is another factor in keeping a recession at bay. Our revised economic outlook calls for slower growth, lower in ation, and slightly higher unemployment. is suggests that the fed funds rate may rise again before year end to help sustain lower in ation. ¹
Fed policymakers have raised their key interest rate to about 5.4 percent, its highest level in 22 years, to try to slow borrowing and spending and cool in ation pressures. ey are now considering whether to raise the rate even higher — a move that would heighten the risk of a recession — or leave it at its current level for an extended period.” ²
On the positive side of this seesaw, anyone invested in short-term xed income has been enjoying higher interest coupons on their bonds or cash equivalents. Buyer beware though, these instruments are not designed to keep up with in ation. You will still need a welldiversi ed portfolio to provide some growth in addition to your xed income allocation.

Additionally, the district said, if passed “business owners will invest $16 monthly per $500,000 of assessed valuation to strengthen Englewood schools and uplift our community.”

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COMOn the day after anksgiving each year, families ock to downtown Littleton for the annual Candlelight Walk. e holiday tradition includes free hot cider and cocoa, music, a parade, live reindeer and 50-cent candles that visitors can light to celebrate the arrival of the season.
But after the removal of 64 trees from Main Street due to a fungal infection, one element of the event will look di erent this year.
Most years, Santa makes his way down Main Street, magically illuminating the trees as he passes them.
Without as many trees, the downtown area will be decorated with di erent forms of lighting this year.
Many other elements of the Candlelight Walk will remain the same, including the parade and the candles.
“I know that that’s been a really special moment for visitors and citizens, as Santa goes down Main Street, the lights (on the trees) turn on,” said Economic Development Director Cindie Perry at a Sept. 5 city council meeting.
“Understanding how important that is, sta has put our heads together and tried to come up with some ideas that, at least in some way, can mimic that special feeling.”
When the trees on Main Street were removed, the city originally planned to leave 15 of them as trunks to be carved by artists.
Once the city started working with the artists, however, they realized the trees did not have enough structural integrity to carve them, Public Works Director Keith Reester said.
As a result, all of the infected trees were entirely removed and their locations have been lled in with concrete, he said.
ere are 25 trees left lining
projections on the sidewalk.
e plan also includes a lighted “sel e station,” which sta said could be repurposed to use at other events throughout the year.
Local businesses on Main Street are working together to self-organize their own lighting and decorations to add to the festivity downtown, Perry said.
e budget for the lighting elements cost $50,000, with half coming from the city’s general fund and and the remainder is paid through grants.
years-long project focused on downtown improvements.
“ ere is a plan,” he responded to one commenter. “Did you read the article?”
Schlachter referenced these online conversations during the city council meeting. He asked Kelli Narde, the city’s director of communications, to con rm that the city was not trying to ruin the Candlelight Walk.
“You are not in charge of some global conspiracy to remove all festivities from Littleton?” he asked.
Main Street, Reester said, which were not infected by the disease.
With fewer trees, Perry said the city had some constraints in what types of lighting they could consider. One constraint was having fewer structures to attach lights to. Availability of power, time and budget were limiting factors as well, she said.
City sta reviewed several lighting proposals and recommended the city work with Dekra-Lite, a commercial-grade holiday decoration company.
e proposed lighting plan includes decorating the Sternberg poles along Main Street with garland and lights.
e city does not have the ability to turn these on individually as Santa goes down the street, Perry said, but there will be a pole lighting ceremony associated with the Candlelight Walk.
She said they also hope to light up the Town Hall Arts Center this year.
is could include garland, lights and projected snowakes or other festive symbols on the building. Wash light xtures, which would bathe the building’s façade with di erent colored areas, are also an option.
Sta recommended the city purchase winter-inspired projection lights, also known as gobo lights, to put festive
“ ese lights would be on through early January,” Director of Communications Kelli Narde said. “ e hope is, with the sel e stations and the gobo lights and Town Hall lit up, that it could attract additional visitors to downtown.”
Several commenters on the city’s Facebook page expressed anger at the decision to remove the trees.
e infection of the trees, called thyronectria canker, threatened their structural intregrity. Reester said branches had fallen over the past few years due to the trees’ weakness and the city had to remove them for safety reasons.
Some Facebook commenters speci cally expressed sadness over how the absence of trees would impact the holiday decorations downtown.
“Having the trees down Main Street covered in Christmas lights reminded me of my childhood ... total bummer,” one commenter wrote.
Others said it was ridiculous for the city to remove the trees with no plan to replace them.
Mayor Kyle Schlachter pushed back on several of the comments.
He asked commenters if they had read the city’s website where it explained the city’s plan to reassess the tree canopy during Project Downtown, its upcoming
“Not to my knowledge,” she responded.
Although the lighting downtown will change, Narde said the overall event will remain the same. ere will still be a parade, hot chocolate and cider, music, candles and Santa’s lighting of the large tree downtown with the help of children from the audience.
Some city councilmembers said they heard requests from community members who want the city to light Main Street like Denver’s Larimer Square, with lights hanging overhead.
Reester said the infrastructure of the Sternberg poles and buildings downtown is not strong enough to support that kind of lighting. Adding infrastructure to make that possible could be considered as part of Project Downtown, he said.
Project Downtown will also incorporate considerations of downtown’s future tree canopy and the community will be invited to be part of the visioning process, Reester said. e project visioning will include considerations of infrastructure to support the longevity of future trees, species diversity and appropriate spacing, according to the city’s website.
One commenter on Facebook said they wanted a sooner solution, saying that deferring the tree replacement decision to Project Downtown was “loose words with still no actual plan.”
Have you been stockpiling cans of latex paint?
Good news – latex paint is water-based and safe to throw away, if prepared properly. If the paint is completely dry, simply remove the lid and throw the can away. If there is still wet paint in the can, mix in some dirt or cat litter to fully absorb it. Once it is dry, throw it away.
Remember, this only applies to water-based latex paint, and NO paint can be dumped in the gutter or thrown in the trash wet. Make a difference in keeping our waterways clean by practicing cost-effective ways to dispose of materials properly.

Over the next 18 years, Littleton will receive about $1.2 million in opioid settlement funds.
At a study session on Sept. 12, the city council directed sta to put Littleton’s rst batch of money from these settlements towards funding the police department’s mental health co-responder program, which is contracted through AllHealth Network.
e funds come from national settlements from pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers who are paying for the harm they did in the opioid pandemic, said Elizabeth Watts, management fellow in the city manager’s o ce.
e money from the rst two settlements will be paid out over the next 18 years, with 10% going to the state, 10% to an abatement council, 60% to regions and 20% to participating local governments, Watts said.
For the rst three years of payments – which includes 2021, 2022 and 2023 – Littleton has received or will receive about $40,000 per year, City Manager Jim Becklenberg said.
e funds must be used in the areas of prevention, treatment, recovery, criminal justice or harm reduction.
e city could decide to use these funds locally or route them to the Arapahoe County Regional Council,
which governs Region 9 of the opioid settlement map, to support regional programs that would bene t Littleton.
Instead of putting the money towards regional solutions, the city council directed sta to use the rst batch of payments to focus on speci c solutions within Littleton. is money will go towards the city’s mental health co-responder program in the police department, Becklenberg said. e program pairs mental health professionals with law enforcement o cers to respond to calls related to mental health, substance use and more.
Using the opioid settlement funds to support this program will free up about $40,000 per year for the next three years from the city’s general fund, which the city can apply elsewhere.
As the city receives future opioid settlement funds, it can consider collaborating with the region on future projects, Becklenberg said.
Over the next 18 years, Littleton will receive about $1.2 million in opioid settlement funds.
During the study session, sta recommended the city put its funds toward the regional solutions that the Arapahoe County Regional Council is already planning.
e regional council plans to al-
locate its regional funds to detox and substance use disorder centers, peer navigators, harm reduction, coresponders and a student leadership program, Watts said.
“A lot of the same categories that have been identi ed by the region are going to bene t Littleton as well,” Watts said. “People are not necessarily con ned by their boundaries.”
Putting Littleton’s funds towards the regional solutions could help support these large-scale solutions that Littleton could not do on its own, Watts said.
She also noted that Littleton could have to pay fees in the future to utilize regional resources if they do not route their funds toward the regional solutions.
Keeping it local District 2 Council Member Jerry Valdes pushed back on the idea that the funds could be more impactful at a regional level.
He said routing the funds through the regional council would “create, essentially, another government entity,” when the city could, instead, approach the issue on a more direct scale through local nonpro ts.
“We know what our citizens want, what our citizens need,” he said. ”I would rather see it stay small, myself. I would rather see the money go right to our citizens through smaller groups that are dealing with these
people daily.”
Watts said it is important for the council to consider that the opioid settlement funding will not last forever, so any of the funding they contribute to local programs will stop someday.
Instead of funding local nonpro ts, Mayor Pro Tem Gretchen Rydin said she thought the city should put the money towards city-run programs.
“We already know what the needs are,” she said. “We could just give (money) to wherever we want to fund something speci c that’s in line with our goals as a council … When we think of safety, for example, and the mental health piece that we associate with some of that – there’s work we could do there that would t our own goals.”
Becklenberg said the clearest use within the city would be the coresponder program. is idea gained wide support from the council.
Becklenberg said the city’s recommended budget aims to put $143,000 towards adding one additional co-responder and a case manager to the city’s co-responder team through AllHealth Network.
e opioid settlement funds, he said, will o set some of that cost so the city can use some of those general fund dollars elsewhere Sta will present a budget with these recommendations in November.

Over the years, the women in our family have often joked about being cursed as soon as we reach adulthood. We joke about that curse because it seems like when we reach the age of 18, we gain a ton of weight.
Whether it’s hormones, how we eat, or genetics — it happens. It happened to me. It happened to my cousins. It seems like it happens to us all.
Neither my mom’s side of the family nor my dad’s are particularly healthy.
at leaves me, who became a mother at an older age, constantly worrying about what that means for my future. Weight is an issue for me. It has been for years.
However, when you work hard to lose weight, follow all the rules, and lose three pounds in a month but gain ve on a day where you cheat — the enthusiasm to try wavers.
at leads to conversations with my doctor. What am I supposed to do? I often ask, explaining my family’s history, and telling her that I am trying.
She even agrees. She’s prescribed phentermine. After all, my insurance company will pay for that. Sure — it curbs my food cravings for a bit but does not help with my long-term goals.
en, last year, she prescribed another drug that is said to be working for women my age. As a woman hits her 40s, it often feels like the “woman my age” scenario is considered a lot.
However, the weight loss drug was never picked up or used because my insurance company refused to pay. Out-of-pocket it was nearly $1,000 per month with recommendations to take it for three months or more.
Like many, I do not have $1,000 in extra cash lying in the bank account or under my mattress.
at meant the help was a no-go. My brothers are going through similar issues. One tried phentermine but did not have luck. Eventually, he
was approved through the VA to get lap band surgery. He has lost weight, feels good, and is doing well.
My other brother was diagnosed with a gastrointestinal condition that helped him lose weight. I would rather not take that route.
I am still left wondering what to do — even researching generic options at non-traditional medical sites online.
According to the National Institutes of Health, “Despite growing recognition of the problem, the obesity epidemic continues in the U.S., and obesity rates are increasing around the world. e latest estimates are that approximately 34% of adults and 15-20% of children and adolescents in the U.S. are obese. Obesity a ects every segment of the U.S. population.”
But — my biggest issue is when will weight and obesity be designated what it should be — an actual health issue that insurance companies have to pay for. It is not just associated with how someone eats. It is genetics, hormones and so many other issues than just saying someone is irresponsible.
How much better would our world be if insurance had to pay to help people get healthy and prevent being diagnosed with conditions like diabetes and heart failure?
So many conditions are tied to weight. If weight-loss help became more accessible, imagine the possibilities.
Preventable diseases would indeed be prevented. As a society, we would be much healthier.
And it is not just healthcare. Obesity also has an economic impact on society that should be considered as more weight-loss drugs are proving e ective but unavailable to many.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Annual nationwide productivity costs of obesity-related absenteeism range between $3.38 billion ($79 per individual with obesity) and $6.38 billion ($132 per individual with obesity).”
Obesity is its own epidemic and those truly seeking help should be able to nd it and a ord it.
Editorial missed mark
It is hard to believe that the editor of the same newspaper that produced a highly thoughtful, informative and insightful series on housing earlier this year has produced the editorial it has on Geneva Village (Sept. 14). Ms. Grimes would have been better served by rereading these excellent articles before writing an editorial that indicates a severe lack of understanding of the dire need for a ordable housing in our community.
As a board member on Littleton’s public housing authority, South Metro Housing Options, I strongly support the city sta ’s recommendation to redevelop the property to meet goals of more housing in Littleton; goals stated in our comprehensive plan, “Envision.”
When I served on City Council in 2003 I proposed selling Geneva Village so that it could be redeveloped as a mixed-use project that would enhance the economic vital-
ity and vibrancy of our downtown but there was little support for this direction. It was always an untenable situation that the city was in the position of landlord renting units that were not need-based. Since then I have had an opportunity to more fully understand the complexity of housing issues. ere is no doubt in my mind that city ownership of this property is an immense opportunity to make affordable housing on this property a focus and better serve more of our citizens.
e city has performed admirably with extreme empathy to ensure the well-being of the current residents. No one in Littleton would have wanted it any other way. However, it is time to move on. In fact, it’s been time to move on for far too many years.

If you didn’t catch last week’s column, What’s Up World, you may want to check that one out before reading this one. As I wrote that column, I knew that it would stir some emotions from our community. Emotions based on the column being a little provocative for not only those on the extreme right or left, but even for those who are centrists. And the community did not disappoint. I made sure to take the time to respond to each email regardless if they were opposed to my position, some more than others, or if they agreed with me, as that was the point of the column, to address all points of view.

And I was called a coward, again with language inappropriate to repeat.

For everyone I responded to, I hope you remember how I responded. Whatever your opinion of me is, whether you read only this one column or have read more of my columns over the past 15 years, I am okay with you challenging my opinions and thoughts.

Unhappy with article
e article “ e historic value and capital challenges of Geneva Village” only presents a single perspective and is disappointing as a consequence. at perspective is that Geneva Village is actually a gateway, that Eugene Sternberg’s work is unequivocally worth preserving, and that historical preservation must mean that nothing can change.
For example, it doesn’t give any thought at all to how the best parts of Eugene Sternberg’s ideals could be embodied in a bold private development that provides much-
needed housing stock to the general public. I challenge the merit behind anyone who says Geneva Village is actually a gateway. In fact, I would speculate that most of Littleton’s residents have never heard of it or would even notice it when driving by on Prince at 35 mph.
It’s really a shame that this kind of one-sided reporting is happening so close to an important decision on the heels of a thorough public presentation by the city sta . I encourage anyone to go back and read the Littleton Independent’s other articles on this subject and proceed with skepticism on many of the claims presented as fact by the residents mentioned in this article.

that if we continue the antagonization of one another we will only create a greater chasm. Again, disagreeing without being disagreeable, debate content without being contentious, and stop the name calling, we are adults looking to have adult truthbased conversations that potentially bring us closer to unity rather than driving the wedge of divisiveness between us. And no matter how vehemently we disagree with someone else’s position or opinion, there is no way that violence is going to bring resolution to either side, it will always only make it worse.
One of our readers, Kay, who spends part of her time living in Colorado, and part of her time living in California sent me a beautiful letter with her thoughts around how we can engage with society when we feel like we are facing the negativity of the world. Here are some of Kay’s thoughts, “Before falling asleep, ask yourself about your day and how it went. And what can I do to be better the next day. Upon awakening, how can I make this a better day?”
Look, we are going to have differences of opinion, as someone said, it’s what makes the world go around. Within our circle of family and even amongst our closest friends we will have di erences of opinions. But we will still celebrate and live life together, if we are
Our alternative is not pretty. We can write the script of our future and the futures of our children and grandchildren if we can just stop the chaos and nonsense of resorting to irrational behavior and instead, listen to each other and gure out how we can get closer to xing the problems of our country instead of making them worse, escalating them to the point of no return. One reader sent me a message saying that, “ is horse has already left the barn, the ght is on.” Is that really what we want, an unwinnable ght?
We are better than that, you are better than that. If you are one of the ones who appreciated last week’s column or opposed it, I loved that we engaged in an exchange of thoughts. And if you hadn’t yet emailed me, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can gure out how to disagree without being disagreeable, debate content without being contentious, and agree that name calling has no place in adult-to-adult conversations, it really will be a better than good life.

Mark Antonation endeavored to eat at every restaurant on Federal Boulevard in Denver city limits. He started near Hampden Avenue on the south end and made his way up above 50th Avenue on the other end, north of Interstate 70.
Skipping national-chain and dollar-a-scoop joints, he ate food from one restaurant each week. He did that for about 75 weeks.
So Antonation, the former food editor at Westword, knows a thing or two about the Denver metro area’s restaurant scene.
He had set out to capture the
spirit of the storied Federal Boulevard — with its authentic Asian and Mexican eateries — about a decade ago, but his food writing travels also took him through the suburbs outside Denver.
What makes the Denver area’s food scene di erent from other parts of the country is how the di erent cuisines are spread out and, in a way, “integrated,” he said.
“In other cities, say you want to nd a Chinese restaurant. You’re probably (going to) go to a district where there’s a high concentration of that or any other style,” Antonation said.
But in “metro Denver, especially when you hit the outskirts — ornton, Broom eld, those areas — it’s a lot more mixed,” he said.
TOP LEFT: Javier Cruz, owner of Garibaldi Mexican Bistro, sits at the restaurant on Sept. 6 in Englewood. Cruz emphasized what he says is the unique nature of his menu compared to other Mexican restaurants.
And there’s good news for foodies in the suburbs: With real estate becoming so expensive, a lot of new restaurants are opening in the north Douglas County area, Antonation said.
Elsewhere, around “Westminster and ornton and Broom eld, there’s a lot of Asian restaurants opening up there, Chinese and ai speci cally,” Antonation said.
“If you live in the suburbs — if you live outside the suburban area even — it’s probably going to keep getting more interesting for you,” Antonation said.
Colorado Community Media asked Antonation what restaurants outside of Denver stand out to him. Here are some of his favorites — places where you might encounter dishes that you can’t nd anywhere else.
Unless you happen to pull over for

gas right across from the Gothic eatre, you might never notice that there’s a restaurant in the same building as a Conoco convenience store.
Years ago, Javier Cruz stopped to get gas there, and a small food outlet was serving burgers at the time.
“And kids said, ‘Can we get fries?’” Cruz said, recalling how he noticed the restaurant.
Cruz spoke to someone with the business who said of the small space: “You want it? Take it,” Cruz recalled.
Di erent food outlets have come and gone at that spot — Cruz still receives mail for many other businesses, he said.
But eight years in at that location, Cruz and his family are still serving up food that he says sets them apart from other Mexican restaurants in the area. He put up a wall to separate the restaurant from the gas station part of the building, adding new paint and artwork and a new ambiance.
With heritage from Mexico City, his family felt that “we never nd this kind of food here,” Cruz said. “So when we opened this restaurant, we said we’ve got to sell this.”
He recommends the food on the “menu Azteca,” featuring dishes made with cactus that he says make Garibaldi unique.
You can nd Garibaldi Mexican Bistro on Broadway a few blocks north of Hampden Avenue in Englewood.
Chile con Quesadilla in Brighton e Chile con Quesadilla food trucks opened on March 15, 2020, just before the response to the coronavirus pandemic intensi ed and restaurants and bars stopped sit-down service.
“We were never shut down due to being classi ed as ‘take-out’ and gained exposure at a rapid pace when many restaurants were shut down,” said Christina Richardson, co-owner of Chile con Quesadilla. “We frequently went to neighborhoods, apartment complexes, HOAs and served food to people who were staying in their neighborhoods (and) homes while on lockdown.”
Since Chile con Quesadilla started, Richardson and her husband Jason have received several local awards for their food, and they recently opened a brick-and-mortar Chile con Quesadilla restaurant location in Brighton.
“Our liquor license got approved on May 5, 2023, and (we) have been operating since,” Richardson said.
She says that Chile con Quesadilla is “not traditional in any sense.”
“We create many di erent and unique avor combinations, for a Mexican-American
fusion with a multi-award-winning green chile at the heart of a lot of the recipes,” Richardson said.
Her top sellers include birria, or beef, tacos and the BBQ bacon brisket tacos, dubbed “ e Triple B.”
“We are a quesadilla concept, but anything on the menu can be ordered in the form of quesadillas, tacos, nachos, sandwiches or a bowl, essentially turning nine menu options into 45 di erent items,” Richardson said.
You can nd the Chile con Quesadilla restaurant on Main Street in Brighton, a couple blocks north of Bridge Street or state Highway 7.
Hong Kong Station in Centennial
A bustling dinner crowd came on Sept. 6 to Hong Kong Station, a restaurant that stands out among Chinese eateries.
“It’s kind of an unusual Chinese restaurant for Americans because a lot of the food is in uenced by Europeans who settled in Hong Kong, so they have a baked rice dish that has like a pork chop and Italian-style tomato sauce,” said Antonation, the former food writer.
e restaurant also serves traditional Hong Kong-style Chinese food, but it’s well known for its Hong Kong French toast, Antonation said.
He describes that dish as two thick slices of white bread usually with peanut butter and an egg batter, pan-fried and served with a big slab of butter.
“I think it was the rst place I knew of in metro Denver that was serving this, and it’s kind of become a trendy dish lately,” Antonation said.
You can nd the restaurant at 6878 S. Yosemite St., a bit south of Arapahoe Road in Centennial.
One of Antonation’s favorite newer ai places is Farmhouse ai in Lakewood near 1st Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard.
“ eir dishes tend to, I would say, capture traditional avors, but they do a lot of interesting modern presentations or updates on traditional fare without straying too far from the canon,” Antonation said.
A standout Italian restaurant far north of Denver serves a Detroit-style, thick-crust pizza, Antonation said.
“And the weird thing is that the pan is rectangular and has a rectangular hole in the middle … and so the advantage is that every slice has a crusty edge, unlike a normal Detroit-style pizza where you’ve got some with a soft edge and crusty edge,” Antonation said of Wholly Stromboli.
You can nd that restaurant at 410 Denver Ave. in Fort Lupton.

What a game. What a weekend. What a spectacle.
And several local players were part of it all.
Legions of fans, celebrities, sportswriters, photographers, camera crews and people just wanting to witness the pageantry descended on Boulder the week of Sept. 11 for the 92nd Rocky Mountain Showdown between in-state rivals Colorado and Colorado State.
ESPN’s “College GameDay” and Fox’s “Big Noon Kicko ” shows were there. So was CBS’s “60 Minutes.” Rapper Lil Wayne and actor Dwayne “ e Rock” Johnson, among a host of other big names and their entourages, were there, too.
e day before the game, ESPN personalities Desmond Howard, Stephen A. Smith, Shannon Sharpe, Pat McAfee and Pete amel were there doing their respective shows.
e better question probably was, “Who wasn’t there?”
Which is incredible to say be-
cause before Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders, CU’s larger-than-life coach, arrived in Boulder, when the Bu aloes and Rams squared o on the gridiron, most people simply said, “Who cares?” and went on their marry way.
Now everyone cares.
Including and probably espe-
cially the players once the Folsom Field lights turned on and the pads started cracking. e Bu s and Rams pounded on each other all night and into the morning before CU, a 23-point favorite, prevailed 43-35 in a double-overtime thriller.
e game kicked o at 8:21 p.m. Sept. 16 and ended at 12:25 a.m.
the next day, the Bu s needing every second of the four-plus-hours slugfest to hold o their feisty rivals from up north.
Two players from Colorado Community Media’s various coverage areas started in the rivalry tilt.
Hank Zilinskas, a four-year varsity player at Cherry Creek, got the start at center for the injured Van Wells, becoming just the second player in CU history to start at center as a true freshman and the 14th true freshman to start anywhere along the o ensive line for the Bu s.
“He stepped up,” Sanders said of Zilinskas in his postgame press conference. “ is business is the next-man-up type of business, so I’m proud that he stepped up.”
e other local player who started was Chase Wilson, who was a three-sport standout at Ralston Valley. Wilson, a redshirt junior, was sensational for CSU, recording a team-second-best eight tackles (seven solo, one assisted). He also had a pass breakup. Two weeks earlier, Wilson logged 12 tackles in CSU’s season opener against Washington State in Fort Collins.
Arden Walker, who was a rstteam All-Centennial League selection and the Centennial League’s defensive MVP as a senior at Creek, also saw playing time for the Bu s.

e sophomore defensive end had a big pass breakup on the Rams’ rst series of the night, nearly picking o CSU quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi’s swing pass for what would have been an easy pick-six. Walker also recovered a fumble and had a quarterback hurry against Nebraska the week before.
Eleven other local players suited up for the Showdown: Colton Allen (CU, Valor Christian), Dante Capolungo (CU, Dakota Ridge), Charlie O erdahl (CU, Dakota Ridge), Cristiano Palazzo (CU, Heritage), Jack Seavall (CU, Arapahoe), Keegan Hamilton (CSU, Rock Canyon), Aaron Karas (CSU, Pomona), Tanner Morley (CSU, Valor), Clay Nanke (CSU, Regis Jesuit), Vann Schield (CSU, Rock Canyon) and Javion Smith-Combs (CSU, Creek).
ough not from one of CCM’s coverage areas, Rams defensive back Henry Blackburn, a graduate of Fairview in Boulder, was involved in the most controversial play of the night.
On a second-and-10 play for the Bu s late in the rst quarter, Blackburn hit Travis Hunter, CU’s two-way star and Heisman hopeful, well after Hunter had given up on the long pass down the sideline. Many on social media, including Fox Sports 1’s Skip Bayless and retired NFL players Emmanuel
Acho, Dez Bryant and Robert Gri n III, called Blackburn’s hit a “cheap shot” and “dirty.”
Hunter, the No. 1 overall recruit in the Class of 2022, was taken to a local hospital to be evaluated. After the game, Sanders said Hunter, who plays both receiver and cornerback, will likely be out “a few weeks.”
“We will do what we must to take care of him,” Sanders said of Hunter. “I know Travis probably will want to be out for two weeks. But we got to make sure he is OK. His health is more important in this game.”
Of gameday itself, Sanders said: “Campus was electric today. I don’t know if some of you got a chance to witness it, but campus was electric today. Don’t dismiss the fact that we’re always recruiting, so when those high school kids who do our recruiting trips see this kind of stu , it’s great. One of the big fellas just said, ‘Hey, man. It’s di erent. is is straight up di erent here.’”
So long as Sanders remains in the Centennial State, Boulder will continue to be electric.
Next year’s Bu s-Rams game at CSU’s Canvas Stadium should be electric, too. It’ll be the rst Rocky Mountain Showdown in Fort Collins since 1996.
Will the Rams end a six-game losing streak to the Bu s? Will Zilinskas, Wilson and Walker be back out there? What other local players will suit up for the rivalry clash?
Tune in in 52 weeks for the answers.
at Dakota Ridge, were two of 14 players from Colorado Community Media’s various coverage areas who suited up for the rivalry game, which Colorado won 43-35 in double overtime.
In a meeting that pushed past midnight into the wee hours of Tuesday, Sept. 12, the Englewood City Council voted 4-3 to approve the density-increasing CodeNext zoning overhaul on rst reading, with recall targets Joe Anderson, Chelsea Nunnenkamp and Othoniel Sierra joining forces with interim appointee PJ Kolnik for the win.
Due to errors creating amendments, the rst reading was to be redone Sept. 18, after press time. e second reading, and likely nal approval, of CodeNext is set for Sept. 25, just eight days before a recall election that could remove density supporters Anderson, Nunnenkamp and Sierra from o ce, and just six weeks before the regular November election in which ve of the seven council seats are on the ballot.
Four-to-three votes were the theme of the night on Monday and into Tuesday as the council was typically divided along the same
lines on multiple amendments to CodeNext proposed by councilmembers, with the Anderson / Kolnik / Nunnenkamp / Sierra bloc pushing for looser limits on density while members Rita Russell, Steven Ward and Jim Woodward and their more cautious approach were consistently on the losing side.
Among the amendments that councilmembers proposed making
to the CodeNext draft that had come from the Planning & Zoning Commission, few were approved, but those that were approved included the removal of the 10-year owneroccupancy requirement for accessory dwelling units and changing the de nition of a household from four unrelated adults to four adults of any relationship plus their minor children or legal dependents.
“Going into this I knew this was going to be di cult to achieve consensus to satisfy all of our citizens, so I believe that we did take a balanced approach to meet those needs,” Mayor Othoniel Sierra said. e council also decided to keep the lack of o -street parking requirement for Accessory Dwelling Units, or ADUs, as well as the threshold for property owner consent to form a local historic district to 65 percent of owners.
“We are far too dense this going to make use incredibly more dense. I think the citizens have spoken, “AtLarge Councilmember Rita Russell said.
Prior to the vote, council members asked questions about items either left in or out of the new code.
At-Large Councilmember Jim Woodward questioned the lack of a parking requirement for ADUs and the 10-year sunset law for owner occupancy.
Most council members asked questions and discussed ordinances pertaining to ADUs.
“ is has been deeply challenging. I think much harder than any of us anticipated but so incredibly important for our community,” District 2 Councilmember Chelsea Nunnenkamp said. “I think what we have in this nal draft is a code that will not meet everyone’s needs and will not make everyone happy but will address a broad range of citizens.”
Residents have mostly commented on changes, speci cally owner occupancy and the lack of an ostreet parking requirement for ADUs, which the council discussed at length in the Sept. 11 meeting.
“When it comes to owner occupancy when I think about a ordable and attainable, I look at this purely from the supply and demand,” Interim At-Large Councilmember PJ Kolnik said. “ e more housing opportunities there are at all di erent types of levels within our neighbors the more people are going to be able
to access them.”
He said an owner occupancy implies only homeowners can build and live in ADUs and feels removing it would change how the city is built.
Russell said the owner occupancy requirement should remain in code.
“I think a lot of people have spoken to this. eir concern is that CodeNext is written to favor developers and the people that will come in and develop Englewood,” Russel said. “ at is true.”
She said it will be “worse than they can imagine” and the “more they try to make a ordable it’s not a ordable.”
“It’s impossible to build a ordable housing during a high in ationary period,” Russell said.
Additionally, the council was divided on the issue of o -street parking for ADUs as some felt it would increase tra c congestion and others said it would make for more a ordable housing.
“I think it’s a question of priorities. My priority is to ensure quality of life for the residents who live here now,” District 4 Councilmember Steve Ward said. “If we’re doing something that potentially has a signi cantly decremental e ect to the people who live here now like keeping them from parking on their street I am not willing to do that.”
He said he wants to create affordable housing for future residents, but he won’t support the lack of parking requirements at the expense of current residents.
Sierra remained more in the middle of each discussion regarding ADU parking and owner occupancy. He recommended changing the owner’s occupancy from 10 years to ve and maybe requiring some parking but not for each ADU.
Ultimately, the council removed the owner occupancy requirement and maintained that o street parking for ADUs would not be required.
Many residents have expressed opposition for CodeNext as they claim it will increase density, allow absentee ownership and negatively impact homeowners’ rights and properties.

Five candidates are vying for three seats on the Cherry Creek School District Board of Education.
e school district has more than 53,000 students across 67 schools. Its board of education is made up of ve directors.
e three board of education director positions up for election are a District A seat, District B seat and District C seat. e election will be Nov. 7, and the elected directors will serve four-year terms.
ere are two candidates for District A: incumbent Anne Egan and challenger Steve McKenna.
During a Sept. 12 candidate forum, Egan, who was elected to the District A seat in 2019, said she earned a master’s degree from the University of Denver and served as an education policy adviser to former Colorado Gov. Roy Romer.
She moved to the school district in 2000 speci cally for the schools, and her four children are Cherry Creek graduates, she said.
Egan has twice received the school district’s exceptional volunteer award, she said.
“I remain more committed than ever that public schools are the backbone of our communities, the reason our property values remain so high, and why our children want to return with their own children,” Egan said. “I look forward to continuing my work on behalf of each and every one of our students and sta .”
McKenna, Egan’s opponent, is a Navy veteran and attorney, per his campaign website.
According to his website, following his service in the Navy, McKenna attended the University of San Diego School of Law and spent 25 years practicing law.
He said two of his three children attended Cherry Creek High School. “If elected, I promise to work with the other board members to return our schools’ focus to providing our students with a strong academic education,” he said. “I believe I can help direct our schools towards doing what we entrust them to do — educate the children while keeping them safe, and o ering as much parental input and involvement as
possible in the process.”
ere is only one candidate running for the District B seat — Ruthie Knowles, who is positioned to take over the seat currently held by District B Director Janice McDonald.
Knowles said she is a product of Cherry Creek Schools, having graduated from Overland High School.
Her career is in clinical and academic research, and she has a master’s degree in social work, she said.
Knowles’ husband also works in the school district as a special education teacher, she said.
“I’m passionate about continuing to invest in our local public schools,” she said. “I advocate for equitable school accountability and performance frameworks. And I am a big proponent of our district’s pathway of purpose, where we give each student the opportunity to customize the pathway that best prepares them for graduation and beyond.”
ere are two candidates running for the District C seat: incumbent Angela Garland and Scott Graves.
Running for re-election, Garland said her life’s work, both professionally and as a volunteer, has been about uplifting, celebrating and mentoring young people.
Similar to Egan, Garland, a mom of four children, said that when relocating her family more than a decade ago, she chose to be in the Cherry Creek School District on purpose.
Garland described a variety of volunteer roles and committees she has been involved in within the school district, adding that she is now the proud mom of two Smoky Hill High School graduates.
“ e education of our children is not a zero-sum game with winners and losers,” she said. “I want to continue our tradition of excellence. All our children can win. And with your support (in) my re-election, they will.”
Graves, who is opposing Garland, said he is a former teacher with a bachelor’s degree in music from the University of Denver and a master’s degree in education.
McKenna and Graves are running together, sharing the platform,
Graves is the father of ve sons, three of whom have graduated from Cherry Creek Schools, according to his website.
He taught for six years, Graves said. He loved his job but was unfortunately laid o due to a lack of funding. Now, he is the co-founder and CEO of a nancial planning rm, per his website.
“Having done that, having managed a budget, I know what it’s like to build a good team to help that team develop its skills to be able to achieve their goals,” he

Remote Access: Community members may also access the meeting remotely at www. englewoodgov.civicweb.net or may call 303762-2430 with questions.
A public meeting will be held to inform citizens and solicit public input, written or oral, regarding the Project Needs Assessment (PNA) for funding of the City of Englewood’s Lead Reduction Program. The PNA report details the program as proposed, including necessity, alternatives, and components. The PNA also describes the proposed funding assistance for Lead Reduction Program. This PNA has been submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for the purpose of qualifying the City of Englewood for a State Revolving Fund Loan.
The Lead Reduction Program was initiated in March 2023 by the City of Englewood as a proactive measure to remove all lead service lines from the water system to reduce potential lead exposure for Englewood customers. This is a proactive approach, because the City of Englewood has not exceeded an action level for lead in drinking water established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It is anticipated that the Lead Reduction Program could cost between $30 and $90 million as it is dependent on the number of lead service lines discovered within the City of Englewood’s service area.
The City of Englewood is seeking funding to accelerate its Lead Reduction Program through the State Revolving Fund Loan Program. If Englewood is successful in acquiring this funding,
it would reduce the overall burden of program costs on Englewood’s ratepayers. Rate increases are adopted on an annual basis by Englewood’s City Council. More information about the Lead Reduction Program can be found at www.englewoodco.gov/lead-reduction-program.
Copies of the PNA are available for public review prior to the Public Meeting at the following location:
