Centennial Citizen’s analysis of Arapahoe County’s budget discussion board comments.

Arapahoe County residents speak about cuts versus tax increase

BY ISABEL GUZMAN

In an e ort to gauge support for or against a tax increase — or cuts — to solve a budget crisis, Arapahoe County has launched a website with a public discussion board. It asks residents which county services they value most — from public safety to open spaces — and which they’d cut if they had

to. It comes as the county is mulling either cuts to myriad services or asking residents to increase taxes to save them.

We are asking Coloradans what they want candidates to focus on

Thousands of respondents express frustration with polarization

BY TINA GRIEGO, MEGAN VERLEE, NEWS STAFF

ousands of Coloradans responding to a survey by their local newsrooms say candidates competing for their votes this year need to be focused primarily on several broad issues: democracy and good government, the economy and cost of living, the environment, climate and natural resources, immigration and abortion.

Which concerns weigh most heavily on respondents’ minds changes with their politics. Conservatives in the survey prioritized immigration and the economy, followed by the state of the government. Moderates and liberals,

Grant targets lead at Centennial Airport

State board approves $300,000 grant for Centennial Airport’s unleaded fuel e ort

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Centennial Airport will get a $300,000 grant to support an ongoing program to provide more environmentally friendly unleaded fuel for the facility’s piston-powered aircraft.

Neighbors and other critics have targeted both Centennial Airport in Arapahoe County and Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broomeld for using lead fuel in their small

aircraft. Lead fuel is a leading cause of air pollution and contributes to health problems for those who live near the airports, say activists.

Both airports are ranked among the busiest general aviation airports in the country, according to the Pilot Institute.

e grant to Centennial from the Colorado Aeronautical Board will support a price subsidy program at the airport aimed at making the transition from lead to unleaded fuel aviation fuels more economical, according to a news release from the Colorado Aeronautical Board.

Centennial Airport in May 2023 became the rst airport in Colorado to o er unleaded aviation fuel at their JetCenters of Colorado Fixed Base Operator (FBO), the news release states.

e move marked a critical step

towards eliminating lead fuels for piston aircraft in Colorado. To help address the higher cost of transitioning to unleaded aviation fuel, in 2023, the airport developed and executed an agreement with JetCenters of Colorado to implement a subsidy program, states the news release. is program allows the FBO to provide unleaded aviation fuel at nearly the same price as its low-lead counterpart and then be reimbursed by the airport for the price di erence. To date, the subsidy program has shown promise, as over 80% of the training aircraft operating at Centennial have been certi ed to safely use the currently available 94-octane unleaded aviation fuel. To broaden the program’s success, Centennial Airport has allocated $380,000 to support this innovative aviation fuel price subsidy program,

the news release states.

e grant from the aeronautical board comes almost a month after Gov. Jared Polis signed HB24-1235, which focuses on reducing the negative impacts of aviation on Colorado’s communities and smoothing the transition to a safe, eetwide 100 octane unleaded fuel, the news release states.

e bill provides that the lesser of $1.5 million or 10% of the annual Colorado Discretionary Aviation Grant (CDAG) Program be allocated to support Colorado public-use airport transition to unleaded aviation fuel, according to the news release. As the only Colorado airport currently o ering unleaded aviation fuel, this year’s price subsidy funding grant to Centennial Airport will

Immersive Cinderella City display will open museum

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Englewood Historic Preservation Society will host the grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Historic Englewood Museum on Saturday, June 22 at 11 a.m.

People will be able to tour the museum’s rst exhibit, produced by e Cinderella City Project, in the new facility on the second oor of the Englewood Civic Center at 1000 Englewood Pkwy.

e immersive exhibit highlights the history of Cinderella City, the large shopping mall built along the north side of Hampden Avenue between Broadway and Santa Fe Drive in 1968. e mall lasted for three decades, struggling in its nal years, until it was demolished.

“As some may remember, the (Englewood Civic Center) building is the last remaining structure from the original mall,” said Lindsey Runyan, Historic Englewood communications director and museum coordinator.

In its heyday, the building that houses the civic center was a department store. e mall was com-

pletely demolished in 1998.  Historic Englewood is attempting “to bring Cinderella City mall back to life,” Runyan said.

Runyan said Josh Goldstein, creator of e Cinderella City Project and Historic Englewood Board secretary, worked to recreate the mall in a simulation “allowing for spectators to virtually walk through the mall and travel back in time to both eras of its design, 1960s and 1980s.”

“We are fortunate to have a theater space within the museum that will be ideal for showcasing the simulation,” Runyan said.

Other exhibits feature Englewood Schools, Cherrelyn Horse Car, Alexander Industries, General Iron Works, Arapahoe Acres and more.

“We believe that Englewood has a unique story to tell and having a museum space to bring that history to the community is essential,” Runyan said.

e city council approved the museum last year. However, Runyan said the Englewood Historic Preservation Society has worked on the project for much longer.  e society was formed 12 years

Wouldn’t It Be Great if You Could Assume the Seller’s Low-Interest Loan? Maybe, if It’s a VA Loan

Most mortgage loans are not assumable, but VA loans are assumable when certain conditions are met. Here’s what I have learned about that.

There are many sellers who are veterans and obtained a VA loan on the home they are now selling. If they don’t need to regain their certificate of eligibility for a VA loan on their replacement home, they can sell their home to anyone — not just a veteran — and let that person assume their VA loan. For the seller to regain their eligibility for a VA loan on their replacement home, the buyer would have to be able to qualify for a VA loan as a veteran.

Wendy Renee, our in-house lender at Golden Real Estate, helped me learn the rules for assuming a VA loan.

Rocket Mortgage has an excellent website explaining those rules and is the source for the following. I’ll post a link to their webpage on our company blog, http://RealEstateToday.substack.com

The good news is that a buyer can assume a VA loan, even if they would not qualify for a VA loan for themselves. If the seller has a VA mortgage at, say, 2.75%, a buyer would get to take over that loan and make the same payments. Not bad, given today’s loan rates over 6 percent!

Conventional loans guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not

assumable. Sellers with a VA loan will want to take advantage of this crucial selling point over competing listings on the MLS. Every seller who has an existing VA loan should have his listing agent emphasize that fact in the MLS, pointing out its interest rate and that it’s assumable. However, if it’s important to the seller that he regain his entitlement to a VA loan for his replacement home, then it should be noted in the MLS that the seller will only allow an eligible veteran to assume the loan.

Hooray for that veteran, because a new VA loan would probably have an interest rate over 6%.

Although the buyer will not need to meet the military eligibility, he or she will need to meet the financial eligibility requirements of the lender. The lender, not the VA, must approve the assumption. If the lender approves your financial qualifications, you can proceed with the assumption. Note: Lenders are not required by the VA to allow assumption. Most lenders have a minimum FICO score to qualify for a loan. With Rocket Mortgage, that score is 580. Other lenders require a minimum score of 620.

VA loans don’t require a down payment, but in assuming a VA loan, you may be asked for a down payment. Considering that most homes for sale have plenty of equity due to the rise in home

Megan’s Insights on the June Real Estate Market

By MEGAN ALLER

First American Title

As we navigate the real estate market for the week of June 5th-12th, 2024, it is clear that the market continues to retract. Increased inventory and hesitant buyers have led to significant shifts in market dynamics. Now the key points:

Retraction persists as more inventory enters the market and pending transactions decline, leading to a higher months’ supply of inventory than usual for the second week of June.

The growing inventory and shrinking buyer pool have caused prices to fall slightly as we transition into summer.

Our average daily active listings have increased week over week, with inventory significantly higher compared to the same period last year.

New listings have shown an upward trend, and this activity is expected to continue growing until September. However, pending transactions have declined compared to the previous weekend.

The odds of selling have decreased

values, that’s not very likely.

VA loans require the payment of a funding fee, and that is true for the buyer who assumes a VA loan. That funding fee is 0.5% of the loan amount. As with the original borrower, that fee can be waived if the buyer is a disabled veteran or the spouse of a deceased veteran with a service-related disability.

Compensating for that 0.5% funding fee is the fact that you won’t have other fees, including paying for an appraisal.

A processing fee of $250 to $300 will be charged to the buyer in addition to the funding fee.

Note that the VA is not the lender

The loan is merely guaranteed by the VA. The underwriting requirements may differ from lender to lender.

So, how do you find a home on which the seller has a VA loan? Unfortunately, that is a not a searchable field on the

MLS, even for us MLS members. However, if you find a home you want to buy, we can find that property on Realist, an app within the MLS, which tells what kind of loan, if any, was taken out by the seller. And, of course, we can ask the listing agent if that VA loan is still in place and what the current balance and interest rate is. Depending on the buyer’s cash reserves, it may be necessary to apply for a second mortgage.

When the loan is assumed, the seller needs to request a release of liability from the lender. Without that, the seller could be responsible for late payment fees or even default by the new borrower. Ask your lender in advance of agreeing to the assumption whether you will receive a release. If they won’t, that could or should be a deal breaker.

If you’d like help finding a home with a VA loan in place, call us (below).

Coming: A 5-BR Home in Scenic Heights

compared to last week, trending historically below the average for June in previous years.

To balance the market with a 6-month supply of inventory, we would need a significantly higher number of total listings, indicating we are currently far from market equilibrium.

Showings last week were down slightly, with the average number of showings per property and the number of showings required to go under contract showing some fluctuations.

Price reductions were more prevalent this week, with a notable portion of units going under contract after reducing their price. The size of these reductions has remained consistent.

If you are wondering when to list your property this summer, it is advisable to list as soon as possible. Growing inventory and a diminishing buyer pool could lead to longer days on market and potential price reductions. Listing earlier in the summer may help achieve the best possible price for your home.

The sellers designed this 4,603-sq.-ft. home at 6714 Field St. in Arvada for entertaining and were the general contractor when building it in 1985. Spaces for entertaining abound both indoors and on the large wraparound deck, which was rebuilt with Trex two years ago. There's an indoor hot tub in its own room that is well ventilated to avoid moisture-related issues. Oak hardwood floors are on the main level, while the upstairs and the mostly finished basement have wall-to-wall carpeting. All bathrooms and the kitchen are tiled. There is not only a separate den on the main floor, but also a reading room and sewing room upstairs. This home is an early example of passive solar design for exploiting solar gain through thermal mass in the winter but staying cool in the summer. In addition to the solar thermal panels on the roof which provide hot water for the home, there are solar thermal panels built into the south wall of the living room to capture solar gain in the winter for dispersal inside the house after dark. The backyard includes a large garden area and a shed with electricity which has two compartments — a storage area with a concrete floor and a south-facing area with gravel floor and windows to capture solar gain for starting plants in the late winter. There is no HOA and there’s a gate on the north side of the house for parking an RV next to the garage.

“Concentrate on giving and the getting will take care of itself.” —Anonymous

SURVEY

in contrast, chose democracy and good government as their top issue by a wide margin.

“If we don’t have free and informed citizens with equal access to the ballot box, then we won’t have democracy and the country won’t be worth preserving,” Marcus Pohlmann, a Highlands Ranch resident and a professor emeritus of political science, wrote in a comment that was echoed by many others.

An issue’s ranking reveals its importance to voters, but not the nuances of their views. ose nuances are emerging in the answer to the survey’s core question: “What do you want candidates to talk about as they compete for your vote?”

So far, more than 4,500 Coloradans have answered that question. e vast majority to date self-identify as white and liberal or moderate and live along the densely populated — and deeply blue — Front Range. But voters in red, rural communities and purple suburbs are also responding. And lots of people have lots they want to say to politicians regarding what’s important:

From Arvada: “Will candidates truly be a voice for the citizen and not just vote party lines? In recent years, I have seen the state take over more and more control on what happens in our local communities. I want a candidate who listens to the people.”

From Highlands Ranch: “How to heal the divisions in our society. Foreign a airs Treating refugees and immigrants with dignity, breaking the broken system.”

From Lakewood: “Education — our teachers aren’t paid enough for what they must handle. Crime — it’s out of control. Don’t see cops patrolling anymore, speeds are unchecked, guns are the solution to disagreements. Competitive wages — people can’t make a living wage.”

From Littleton: “Candidates should speak to the wealth gap in USA, it’s causes, remedia-

tion, and prevention.”

From ornton: “How willing they are to address climate change and to preserve/ strengthen a woman’s right to make her own decisions about her own body.”

From Fort Collins: “ e pursuit of unsustainable (population) growth is inexcusable and should be dropped. is includes the ridiculous YIMBY (aka real estate developer) policies.”

From Fort Morgan: “I would like them to talk about how high and unreasonable the cost of living has become. Do we pay rent and insurance but go hungry?”

From Denver: “Housing, housing, housing. e cost of living is too high and it is primarily driven by the high cost of housing. We need to break down legal barriers and construct housing of all types, especially in dense urban areas and around transit.”

From Fremont County: “Illegal immigration, violations of our constitutional 2nd right amendment, stopping the Trump tax cuts which will result in higher taxes, economy/

cost of living, increasing oil and gas production.”

From Durango: “ e homeless situation is out of control. Vets, young families, panhandlers on corners, and those without jobs, how do states handle this?? Immigrants brought in who are seeking asylum?? Monies going out to countries in need vs. our own country … I think we need to focus on our economy and our homeland rst.”

From Alamosa County: “How they plan on limiting government involvement in my life. De ne their priorities so that I may determine how they align with mine.”

From Monte Vista: “Water equity, rural equity, less guns, state bank for small biz loans, less throw-money-at-them public transportation…”

From Aurora: “What would you do to reduce wealth inequity? Would you support/subsidize starter home-building initiatives? Would you support before and after school childcare for elementary students?”

From Colorado Springs: “Enshrining marriage equality in the Colorado constitu-

tion … LGBTQIA+ rights are at the top of my list. I identify as lesbian/queer, and my wife (they/them) is nonbinary and masc-presenting. e threat to our personal liberty from the right is terrifying.”

Joe Brooks, a 53-year-old father of elementary-school-age children who lives in ornton, summed up a common sentiment while acknowledging political reality. “I’d love to hear them talk more about what’s really really at stake, which is personal liberty and freedom. Everybody really wants that, but people disagree on how that looks.”

Among other highlights from the survey so far:

Many self-identi ed conservatives, who chose immigration as top concern, are calling for closure of the southern border and the deportation of both recent asylum-seekers and people who’ve lived here long term without documentation.  ose who identi ed as liberal named “abortion” as a top-three concern, closely followed by the economy and then social justice and equity.

Young people, those 18-29, put the economy and cost of living in the No. 1 spot, followed by democracy, then the environment. Social justice and equity comes up No. 4. However, this group, like conservatives, is underrepresented in the responses so far. Survey respondents express much higher trust in the fairness of local elections than in national ones, but conservatives indicate far more distrust in both. Six in 10 self-identi ed conservatives say they have no con dence in the fairness of the national election and nearly a quarter express the same lack of faith in the local elections.

Looking at survey responses overall, without accounting for political lean, urban, suburban and rural residents who responded to the survey share the same top concerns in the same order: Democracy, economy, environment, immigration and abortion. But rural respondents follow that up with “personal liberty” as their next-highest concern

SURVEY

while urban and suburban residents named “social justice and equity.”

National and international politics course through the responses and many survey respondents have litmustest questions for candidates: Do you believe Trump won the 2020 election? Do you support the overturn of Roe v. Wade? Do you support continued funding for Ukraine? For Israel? Do you have a plan to address climate change? Do you support the complete separation of church and state?

While national politics dominate these bright-line questions, there is no shortage of questions about local concerns. People responding to their local newsrooms’ surveys are asking about tra c on Tower Road, Front Range air quality, rebuilding the Douglas County health department, homelessness on the Western Slope, health care on the Eastern Plains, land-use policies (everywhere), low-income housing for seniors in Mesa County, and workforce housing in Routt County.

A note on the survey itself: is is not a scienti c poll. Data on race and ethnicity was awed and will be included in later stories.

One of the most striking takeaways from the survey so far is how many respondents answered the question of what they want candidates to talk about with how they want candidates to speak. Without rancor, without partisanship, posturing or platitudes, and with commitments to compromise, transparency and pragmatism.

“How they will get over petty partisan

bickering and actually do the job they were elected to do,” Tim Samuelson, a 42-year-old self-described moderate who lives in Denver, wrote in his survey response. “Form policies together that aren’t fringe issues that the majority of the public doesn’t think about on a daily basis. Get to work, quit the gamesmanship.”

Put more bluntly by another survey respondent: “How they plan to x this mess, not what a jackass the other guy is. We already know that.”

Hyper-partisanship is a perennial lament about politics. But the sharp — and sometimes plaintive — edge in the call for candidates to work together seems in part intensi ed by the sense among respondents that the stakes are just too high now to do otherwise. at sentiment surfaces in the bigpicture responses: democracy in peril, the planet in danger, our personal and civil liberties under attack. But anxiety also simmers in respondents’ dayto-day concerns, worries that can be summed up with: can’t buy a house, can’t a ord rent, our roads are bad, our schools need help, farming is under threat, taxes are unfairly assessed and distributed, tra c is killing us, our healthcare system is broken, the gap between the haves and have-nots has become a chasm and I’m never, ever, making it to the other side.

In the face of all that, Samuelson, who is also the father of three young children whom he worries will grow up with fewer opportunities and more threats, nds the partisan sniping not simply intolerable, but irresponsible.

“I just get the feeling from so many politicians that it’s about being heard and seen and having that platform instead of the desire to govern,” he said in an interview.

More than 300 miles southwest, Bayeld resident Evanne Caviness shares Samuelson’s frustration and builds upon it.

In her response to the Durango Herald’s survey, Caviness emphasized a point made by other respondents: She and her husband, and the things that concern them, cannot be reduced to one side of the partisan line or the other.

“I’m progressive in social issues, but I’m also a rural rancher,” she wrote in her survey. “So we don’t t neatly in a box like many candidates treat us.”

Caviness lives in the ird Congressional District, the massive, sprawling home to mansions and mobile home parks, to the mountains that nestle Aspen west through farmland and public lands, south into tribal nations, through villages built on Spanish land grants and working-class Pueblo neighborhoods into the southeastern Plains.

Caviness wants it made plain that she is as complex as her district. She is 27. She is Latina, Indigenous and white. She married her high school sweetheart and they are now rstgeneration farmers and ranchers who sell grass-fed beef, and, so, yeah, they’d like a word with Gov. Jared Polis about his “MeatOut” day. But Caviness also works for the nonpro t National Young Farmers Coalition and she is dedicated to eliminating systemic barriers that have kept young people and people of color out of agriculture.

She wants a candidate eager to sit on the House Agriculture committee. She wants a candidate who will recognize structural racism as real. She wants a candidate who knows what the price of land and cattle is doing to farmers and ranchers. She wants a candidate who

understands that she can hold down a full-time job and help her husband on the ranch and still need to go to a local food program twice a month to ease the strain on the grocery budget. She wants a candidate to do more than sympathize with the fact that she has to drive two of the couple’s three young children nearly six hours to Denver to see a medical specialist because they can’t get the care they need in rural Colorado.

Caviness doesn’t agree with some of the politics of her older, conservative neighbors, but says that she and her husband will drop everything to answer their call for help with the cows or anything else. “ at’s just who we are as a community.”

And so she wants that, too, a candidate who has a concrete plan to build on common ground rather than exploit divides.

“So long as we are distracted by whatever is trending on social media at the moment, whatever outrageous thing we have to be mad about now, it’s, like, OK, but yeah, young farmers are still not going to be able to buy land,” Caviness says.

“My kids are still going to have to go to Denver to go to the audiologist and I have to pay for that out of pocket. ese are issues that are still happening while you are debating something ridiculous that doesn’t a ect us on the day to day.”

Liam Stewart’s dad hopeful Littleton can make streets safer

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the months after Liam Stewart was struck and killed by a car while riding his bike to school, his family, and the wider community, have pushed for change. More than just wanting to improve the Littleton street where Stewart, 13, lost his life, they want every place in the city to be safe for anyone walking or riding a bike.

“Our eyes have been opened up to all these cracks in the system, all these possibilities where a small mistake, by either a driver, pedestrian or bicyclist can result in death,” Josh Stewart, Liam’s father said in an interview with the Littleton Independent. “It’s those things that we

Why allergy season might be worse this year

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the owers bloom, some people su er. It’s a prime time for seasonal allergies, and some may be feeling worse, or su ering longer, than in past years.

e extra-itchy eyes, wheezing and sneezing could be related to climate change, which experts say is happening in Colorado.

“Plants bloom earlier, bloom later, di erent species are moving in,” Dr. Ming Wu, a family medicine doctor at AdventHealth Littleton, said. “With all of this change, we’re encountering things that our bodies have never encountered before.”

Allergies are overreactions to environmental stimuli, Wu said. Allergic reactions happen when the body perceives something not normally harmful as dangerous. To combat what the body perceives as a threat, the im-

mune system ghts against the stimulus – for instance, pollen – triggering allergy symptoms.

Climate change has brought concern to Colorado, which is expected in the years ahead to trend warmer, including earlier snowmelt in the spring, hotter summers and drier soils. Such a shift has the power, over time, to bring more of certain kinds of plants while other kinds struggle, according to state scientists.

Environmental changes can impact pollen seasons. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, climate change can cause shifts in precipitation, fewer frost days, warmer air temperatures and increased atmospheric carbon dioxide.

ese changes can affect the length of the pollen season, how much pollen plants create, how much is in the air and how likely the

pollen is to cause irritation, according to the CDC.

is year in Colorado, Wu said the weather may play a role in people’s experiences.

“Environmental allergies could potentially be worse because we’ve had a lot more rainfall, it’s been a lot wetter,” he said. “Mold, pollen — those are going to be higher … in the environment and that can cause issues.”

He said it can be challenging for some people to know whether symptoms are related to allergies or a viral illness, since they often have similar symptoms. Both seasonal allergies and viral illnesses can involve a runny nose, sneezing, di culty breathing, ear pain and skin rashes, he said.

To tell the di erence, he said to look out for a few speci c symptoms.

“ e biggest things that I’ve noticed with allergies that don’t really follow with

a viral illness are itchy, watery eyes, and viral illnesses usually will present with fever, whereas allergies don’t present with a fever,” he said.

For people struggling with their seasonal allergies this year, Wu recommends over-the-counter antihistamines. For people who need extra help, doctors can prescribe stronger allergy medications, steroids or immunotherapy, a process that slowly exposes a person to allergens to build tolerance.

“(Immunotherapy is) useful for environmental allergies, insect allergies (and) asthma,” he said. “ is should be done, obviously, with medical supervision.”

For pollen allergies, Wu said some people nd that eating local honey can be a natural remedy. is is not a proven solution, he said, but some believe it helps slowly build immunity to the pollen in their area.

Fueling success through curiosity and purpose

In a world that constantly demands more from us, maintaining passion in whatever we do has never been more critical. Passion is the lifeblood of innovation, the driver of excellence, and the key di erentiator between success and failure. It’s the internal re that fuels our purpose and performance, propelling us to raise the bar and set new, higher expectations. But how do we sustain this passion? e answer lies in our ability to remain curious, to continuously ask questions, and to let hope guide our journey.

At the heart of passion lies curiosity. It’s the relentless desire to know more, to understand deeper, and to explore uncharted territories. Curiosity compels us to ask questions, not just of others but of ourselves. How can we improve? What can we do di erently? Where can we nd new opportunities? ese questions drive us to push beyond our comfort zones, to innovate, and to seek excellence in everything we do.

But curiosity alone is not enough. We need to couple it with hope and purpose. Hope is the belief that our e orts will lead to positive outcomes. It’s the optimism that fuels our determination and resilience. When we have hope, we are more likely to persevere through challenges and setbacks. Hope gives us the strength to keep going, even when the road gets tough.

Purpose, on the other hand, gives our passion direction. It’s the reason behind our actions, the “why” that motivates us to keep pushing forward. When we have a clear sense of purpose, we are more focused and driven. Our e orts become more meaningful, and our passion becomes

more intense. Purpose helps us stay committed to our goals, even when the initial excitement fades.

To maintain our passion, we must constantly set new and higher expectations for ourselves. We must raise the bar wherever and whenever we can. is doesn’t mean we should be constantly dissatis ed with our achievements. Rather, it means we should celebrate our successes while also striving for continuous improvement. By setting higher expectations, we challenge ourselves to grow and evolve. We push our limits and discover new potentials.

One of the most signi cant bene ts of maintaining our passion is that it sets us apart from the competition. In any eld, there are countless individuals who possess similar skills and knowledge. What distinguishes the successful ones is their passion. Passionate individuals are more likely to go the extra mile, to put in the extra hours, and to come up with innovative solutions. eir enthusiasm and dedication are evident in their work, making them stand out from the crowd.

Passion is contagious. When we are passionate about what we do, we inspire others to feel the same. Our energy and enthusiasm can motivate our colleagues, employees, and even our clients. is creates a positive and dynamic environment where everyone is driven to perform at their best. In such an environment, success becomes a collective e ort, and the chances of achieving great results are signi cantly higher.

Passion is the key to unlocking our full potential. It’s the driving force that propels us towards excellence and sets us apart from the competition. By remaining curious, asking questions, and continuously seeking new ways to improve, we can sustain our passion.

he longest day of the year is nearly upon us and we’ve still got two months of summer ahead. In other words, we’re living the good life right now.

Colorado is such a great place to be during the summer — there is so much to do, both indoors and outdoors, no matter how active or laid back you are. ere are so many options, in fact, that I thought I’d help out and gather some highlights from all over the metro area. Whatever your interests are, there’s something for you. Get out and enjoy.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Nas and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at Red Rocks

If you’re a rap fan, then you must have an appreciation of Brooklyn’s Nas . He’s in almost every conversation about the greatest rappers of all time and his 1994 debut album, “Illmatic,” is one of the best examples of the storytelling power of the medium. Since then, Nas has gone on to have a storied career, churning out years of great music and being an advocate for the power of rap.

For a really exciting pairing, Nas is teaming with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra for a concert at Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison, at 6 p.m. on Sunday, June 30. I love it when the symphony pairs with hip-hop artists — the resulting music is always exciting and di erent than you expect.

In Loving Memory

Northglenn Youth Theatre has been ‘feeding the souls’ of young performers for 30 years

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Slight and bespectacled, 14-year-old Lilly Sergeef is eyeing Broadway. She is a veteran actor and has been in commercials for insurance companies and Village Inn since age 6.

But she is especially drawn to the stage, where she has never felt intimidated by the audience or other performers.

“Broadway is my goal,” ornton resident Sergeef said. “Being before an audience is never something I dread … it’s something I grew up on.”

A determined Vienna Frey also sees acting on Broadway in her future. e Broom eld resident said her parents are performers and she began acting when she 6. She’s starred in several plays and musicals including “Percy Jackson and Lightning ief” and “Shrek Junior.” Frey savors always diving into the characters she played.

“I just enjoy playing other people and getting into their stories,” said the 14-year-old Frey.

Both are veteran performers at Northglenn Youth eatre, which has been tutoring, supporting and ushering actors as young as 8 onto the local stage. Over 1,000 young performers have inhabited roles at Northglenn Youth eatre — or the NYT as the locals call it.

is year, NYT is celebrating its 30th anniversary, a testament to the wide-ranging support the theater has enjoyed even as cultural programs at local schools have scaled back their performances, said Kimberly Jongejan, Northglenn’s Cultural Programs Direc-

tor and the NYT director.

“Funding for arts programs is not always solid, especially in elementary and middle schools,” Jongejan said.

Most of NYT’s students come from communities outside of Northglenn because there is a dearth of theater programs in the north metro area, she added.

Northglenn o cials, meanwhile, have long supported the arts and the NYT, said Jongejan, who was hired in 1996 to help lead the arts program in Northglenn.

“It’s aways been this way,” she said. “ e city has always seen its arts and culture as a growing and thriving part of Northglenn.”

For example, Northglenn is the only city to include a state-of-the art performing arts space — the Parsons eatre — as part of its new recreation center, Jongejan said. e entire theater and recreation complex opened in 2021.

e Northglenn Arts & Humanities Foundation — NAHF — provides funding for the NYT as well as for public art and other cultural ventures in Northglenn, according to the city. Other sponsors include Colorado Creative Industries, Scienti c & Cultural District, Tour West, WESTAF and the National Endowment for the Arts, the city states.

Jongejan said the NYT has sent some of its graduates to Broadway and O -Broadway. Mostly, NYT students become teachers and perform at dinner theaters and other community productions.

Above all, NYT serves a higher purpose of stoking the dreams of young performers, she said, adding, “We feed kids’ souls.”

NYT Academy classes range from $25-$120 depending on duration and whether a participant is a resident of Northglenn or not, she said.

Each year, NYT puts on six productions performed at the Parsons eatre, three productions for 12- to 18-year-old performers and three for the NYT Jr., program, which include eight to 12 performers. ey are tutored by professional actors on a tight schedule that calls for auditions on Monday, rehearsals during the rest of the week and performances usually over two nights.

Productions this year include “Sister Act,” “Cinderella and e Fairy Godmother’s Spell,” “ e Brothers Grimm Spectacular” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

e NYT Academy also o ers acting basics for young performers through drama activities, scenes, songs and visual arts. One dance class is Broadway Basics, which offers kids ages 9-12 “ball change kicks, jazz squares and more while dancing to the tunes of Broadway’s best ballads,” according to the course description. e cost of that class is $38-$46.

Jongejan said registration fees for NYT Jr. productions are $200; NYT productions are $250.

acting. He is starring as the main character in “Shrek Jr. e Musical,” which is running from June 28-30.

Scholarships are needs-based and are awarded via an application process. ese scholarship awards range from 50% to 100% of fees being covered through the Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation, Jongejan said.

NYT’s more advanced classes teach how to manipulate an actor’s voice and body to create a memorable character, a “Fosse Posse” focuses on dancing for actors and a tap dance also teaches the basic steps and combination used in musical theater, according to the course guide.

Jongejan said the NYT is also offering a screenwriting course for Hip-Hop theatre. Students can also take technical theatre workshops for a glance at the behind-the-scenes production process, Jongejan said.

“We want our students to get a good, well-rounded look at what goes into a theater production and how important stage development, lighting and other behind-thescenes work is so important,” she said.

For 13-year-old Ian Amaro, character development is key to his

“I like to write notes down for my character and get the back story,” he said. “I think that makes acting much more e ective.”

Amaro, who lives in ornton, admits acting isn’t really what drew him to NYT.

“School can be rough for some people,” Amaro said, adding his stutter is sometimes an obstacle.

“I needed friends badly, then NYT popped up for me and the light bulb in my head went o .”

So far, Amaro has not bumped up against any diva behavior among his cast mates.

“ e people are absolutely fantastic,” he said. “Everyone has been so helpful.”

irteen-year-old Aksel Gangji’s two sisters gave him a nudge toward acting and NYT where he started performing in 2019. He still su ers from some stage fright but powers through it with the help of his castmates. Gangji attends Rocky Top Middle School in ornton.

ey often cross their arms together and then say “Break a leg” before a performance, Gangji said. Actors also pass around a “Kudos” coin before they go on stage and tell each

other something positive about their work.

“Usually by then, you are saying ‘Oh great, I am going to perform,’” Gangji said.

He is also considering pursuing a career as a stage technician. “Sound, costumes, it’s what brings it all together,” Gangji said. “You can’t see the actors without the lights.”

Performing is a tradition in 14-year-old JJ Witmer’s family. His mom toured internationally with Up With People and he took his rst role as an actor at 6 as Tiny Tim in a high school production.

“It was really fun,” he said. He attends Riverdale Ridge High School in ornton.

He enrolled at NYT in 2018 and has acted in several productions including “Peter Pan” and “ e Little Mermaid.”

He’s learned to act with an English accent to play Hamlet and dyed his hair for another role.

“I like getting into a role and becoming more of that character,” Witmer said.

After “Hamlet” ended, he remembers talking with an English accent for two weeks.

“It just happened,” he said. “ at’s what you do when you get into a role.”

Interest rates not budging

LFINANCIAL STRATEGIES

ast September I wrote this column about higher interest rates for longer. Sure enough, here we are. In fact, the federal funds rate and mortgage rates actually ticked up a bit since then. And while certain sectors of the stock market are hitting record highs, other categories remain volatile. We seem to be in that phase where good news could be considered bad news for certain portfolios. Investors may want to know why.

e federal discount rate is currently 5.5%. It was 5.4% last September. is is the rate used to borrow between banks. e prime rate that banks use for consumer loans is 8.5%. A 30-year xed mortgage could run north of 7.8%.¹ Borrowers are not liking these rates ticking higher and stubbornly holding. When there is good economic news, in some cases the market digests that as negative; for example, the market may assume the Federal Reserve will not lower rates because the economy is too strong, and the risk of elevated in ation is a concern. When unemployment re-

mains low, which is a good thing, at times the stock market may perceive it as negative news as well. When we have full employment, consumers will continue to spend, hence keeping prices relatively high. Everything appears to be centered around these sticky interest rates. Even the bellwether 10-year Treasury has been hovering just below 5% for many months. It is hard for an investor to have high conviction about much of anything right now. ings are changing, though, ever so slowly. Housing prices are starting to shift slightly downward due to high interest rates that may have disquali ed too many buyers. Houses for sale are staying on the market longer, giving the potential buyer some negotiating power. Unemployment is inching up ever so slightly. erefore, it is important to look at the trends, not just the numbers.

Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell has been consistent in his testimony that interest rates will come down when in ation declines. Simple, right? Anyone who buys groceries or puts gas in their car knows that in ation has remained in those categories, but other areas have started to decline, such as furnishings and appliances.2

How to stay safe in the water this summer

Prevention says formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning.

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Drowning is the leading cause of death for children aged 1 to 4 years old. And for children aged 5 to 14, it’s the second leading cause of unintentional injury death after motor vehicle crashes.

at’s according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which says formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning.

In the Centennial area, one business owner stresses the importance of swim lessons.

“I wasn’t a bad swimmer throughout my years, but I wasn’t great by any means, and I never really felt safe in the

water,” said Wendy Skaalerud, who lives in Centennial. “And that’s really one of the reasons my husband and I were led to purchase and bring Big Blue to our community because feeling that lack of con dence as adults and especially as a parent, not feeling safe or con dent in the water is a really awful thing.” ey wanted to enable kids to feel sure of themselves “so they never feel the same fears I did as an adult,” said Skaalerud, who owns the Big Blue Swim School location near Smoky Hill Road and Himalaya Street.

Colorado Community Media to Hold its First 5K Run

BY JO ANN M. COLTON

There is no better way to appreciate the beauty of Colorado than by witnessing all the sights and sounds of the great outdoors.

from walking and/or running along our state’s many wonderful paths and scenic nature trails.

Join Colorado Community Media as we host our first-ever 5K run on Saturday, Aug. 24, at Clement Park, 7306 W. Bowles Ave. in Littleton.

And, before the run, we want you to submit your own “Trail Tales,” including photos, to your local newspaper (events@coloradocommunitymedia. com). Tell us where you most enjoy going for a walk or a run in your commuor elsewhere in Colorado.

In turn, we will share many of those adventurous tales with the readers of our two dozen community newspapers in the weeks ahead of the run.

There are no prizes associated with the event and participants will not receive a “standard” T-shirt. Instead, registered participants will receive a pair of custom running socks. The Share Your Trail Tales 5k Run is open to people of all ages. Participants have the option of making it a fun-filled day for the entire family. Registration fees are $35 for adults (ages 17 & up), $15 (ages 5 to 16), and free for children (ages 4 and under ). Parking for run participants and event attendees is available in the west parking lot, which can be reached as you enter Clement Park through the Library entrance on W. Bowles Avenue.

Park is currently being firmed up to feature other activities throughout the day including food and beverage purchase options offered by local food trucks, vendor booths, and live music entertainment.

“Your support of this event as a race participant and/or as an attendee is paramount to the success of our first Share Your Trail Tales 5k Run and it will help us sustain our ability to support local news,” Scott said. “We encourage the engagement of our readers and future readers to be part of this and future events at Colorado Community Media.”

About the 5k: It is scheduled to loop around Johnston Reservoir from 9:30 a.m. to noon. It will start and end on the bike path near Shelter P. The event is different from most 5k runs in many ways. For starters, the sole purpose of this event is to simply provide an opportunity for people across Colorado to come together, interact, and share their personal experiences gained

Colorado Community Media publications span eight counties along Colorado’s majestic Front Range — Weld, Adams, Jeffco, Clear Creek, Douglas, Elbert, Arapahoe and Denver. As a nonprofit organization, community is important to us and we are eager to reach out and meet members of the communities our news organization serves.

the water. She’s now a certi ed lifeguard, and she o ered some tips that can help you stay safe this summer.

Staying alert

Safety is crucial wherever people swim, whether it’s a backyard pool, a beach on a family vacation, a lake or a neighborhood pool, Skaalerud said.

She shared the “SAFER” acronym that Big Blue uses to help people remember ways to avoid danger.

• Swim with a buddy and get a “water watcher” — an adult to keep an eye on you. “Rotating

people out doesn’t hurt so they’re fresh and they’re not getting vision fatigued,” Skaalerud said.

• Acquire CPR and first-aid training. “We encourage all of our parents, nannies, caregivers, older siblings” to get training, she said. “We have someone certified on staff who can give CPR and firstaid training. They also can give lifeguard training.”

• Find and reduce water hazards. Put fences around pools at home, and don’t leave toys or items out that would entice a small child to go near a pool, Skaalerud said. Ensure proper-fitting life jackets are available for any water activities.

• Enroll in swim lessons to improve skills.

• Respond fast and call 911 in emergencies. “A drowning inci -

dent isn’t always obvious,” Skaalerud said, adding: “Never hesitate.”

Don’t forget

Always be diligent around water even in laid-back situations, Skaalerud said.

“People get really comfortable especially if they’re in social environments and eating and drinking and enjoying the sun,” she said. But “always make sure you’re aware of your surroundings and the people around you.”

Even good swimmers can be at risk of water accidents, she added.

“We just don’t want to take for granted what kids know and what they don’t know,” Skaalerud said.

vHer swim school location teaches kids at different ages, including

a baby level that focuses on breath control and back floating, and a level for toddlers between 3 and 5 that focuses on skills like balance.

“At that age, it’s important that they enjoy coming to class, so we do use some games, some songs and some stories that help them get excited,” Skaalerud said.

For kids 6 and up, the lessons progress to shape “proficient and strong swimmers,” she said.

Her swim school is large, so families can schedule multiple age groups at the same time, “which is really convenient for parents,” she said.

“We also do water safety presentations in schools,” said Skaalerud, adding that that includes speaking at public and other types of schools. “And we love it.”

Sun Jr., a ‘psych mountain rock’ experience at the Mile High Hoedown

BY JO ANN M. COLTON

If you yearn to fly back to the sounds of yesteryear, you will love soaring to new heights with Boulder’s own Sun Jr, appearing at the MILE HIGH HOEDOWN later this month! The band’s sound is a blend of psychedelia, cosmic cowboy and Americana with indie-folk influences.

Friends Nod Norkus (drums), Jim Heekin (guitar/singer), Matt Kubis (banjo/singer), Jon Schimek (pedal steel guitar), and Jeremiah Streets (keys/ bass/organ) launched the band in 2013. They practiced in the evenings in Jim’s basement (“The Bottoms”), where they have become a “band of brothers.”

Sun Jr. hit the stage with a style all their own and immediately made an impression. From a spot on the “Gentleman of the Road” tour in Salida with Mumford & Sons, Dawes and the Flaming Lips in 2015, they’ve grinded their way into a stellar act that you cannot miss.

During the 2020 COVID pandemic, the band leaned heavily into long basement jams, taking notes from the likes of Pink Floyd and late ’60s bands that played for art’s sake. They branched into livestreaming to reach out to more folks and have continued to do so.

“In February 2024, (Heekin) posted a TikTok video of our song ‘Buttercorn’ from a live performance at Dharma Farm

— and it went viral,” Norkus said. “The post garnered 2.3 million views and about 40,000 new fans.”

The post was the mega break that has opened more doors to some of Colorado’s best venues and a “second media wave” of the post expanded their reach even farther, he said.

“We started receiving invitations to play in California, Texas, and points beyond the U.S.,” Norkus said.

The band’s current goal is

mostly to ignore national invites and build an ardent local fan base. To stay connected, they are partnering with Chris Wright of Violet Recording to capture their Colorado live shows to share more broadly. Wright will also engineer a series of in-studio live recordings, possibly capturing two albums from this dual recording process.

Visit sunjrband.com for the latest band information (recordings, play dates — and more)! Then, “go down” to the MILE HIGH HOEDOWN and enjoy Sun Jr.’s “Psych Mountain Rock” ex-

perience LIVE at the Stampede, 2431 S. Havana Street, in Aurora.

MILE HIGH HOEDOWN attendees can enjoy food truck food and beverages, learn new line dances with instructor/choreographer Laurie Burkardt, “creative cut” or screen print their own T-shirt with Ink & Drink, purchase a custom hat from hat shaper Parker Thomas, get a “flash” tattoo from Ace of MR. ACE Art & Tattoos; and visit Little People Face Painting for cool, but not permanent, body/ face/hair art — you’ll be sure to sparkle during Sun Jr.’s LIVE, never-to-be-duplicated hoedown performance!

Get the “low down” on the MILE HIGH HOEDOWN, which is 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, June 29, by heading to coloradocommunitymedia.com/ mile-high-hoedown. And GET A MOVE ON, partners!

Consumer

Groups, Patients, & Providers Applaud Colorado Legislators for Holding Big PhRMA Accountable, Protecting State’s Prescription Drug Affordability Board

AARP Colorado, along with a broad coalition of consumer groups, patients, and medical providers celebrated the end of the 2024 legislative session after fending off coordinated efforts by drug manufacturers to undermine the Colorado Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB), the state’s only tool to reign in out-ofcontrol drug costs. As a rare cancer patient currently in remission, I’m deeply grateful for the broad coalition that fought to ensure that the voices of patients were heard.

The Colorado State Senate stood alongside advocates to defeat SB24-060, which sought to prevent the PDAB from reviewing the costs of, and setting limits on, hundreds of the most high-cost and commonly-prescribed prescription medications. In fact, it would have exempted 67% (more than 400 medications) of the approximately 600 drugs eligible for review by Colorado’s PDAB because they have some form of orphan drug designation – including many of the most expensive and most commonly prescribed medications in the state. The bill was part of a national strategy being pushed by pharmaceutical companies

to make it impossible for PDABs across the country to bring down the cost of prescription medications. Lawmakers laid the bill over indefinitely on April 15th, sending a strong message: Colorado refuses to let the pharmaceutical industry continue to put profits over patients, especially as the PDAB is just beginning its critical work. In addition, 115 medical professionals across Colorado released a letter opposing Senate Bill 60.

Big PhRMA continues to use the defeat of SB24-060 and the ongoing work of the PDAB to stoke fear in patients of rare diseases. Unfortunately, these very patients are among the most harmed by out-of-control drug costs and deserve access to affordable, lifesaving drugs through Colorado’s Prescription Drug Affordability Board. To ensure these critical voices are front and center, SB24203 “Prescription Drug Board Consider Rare Disease Council’’ legislation was introduced on April 8th by Senators Ginal and Kirkmeyer, and Representatives Harstook and Ortiz. The legislation passed with strong bipartisan support and will ensure greater

stakeholder engagement from the rare disease community in the work of Colorado’s Prescription Drug Affordability Board without exempting any medications.

We thank the lawmakers who championed these efforts and refused to let Big PhRMA play games with Colorado’s Prescription Drug Affordability Board. This work is more important than ever, with 1-in-3 Coloradans struggling to afford the medications they need to stay healthy. AARP has a vested interest in ensuring drug prices are affordable for all. Over 80% of adults over 50 take at least one prescription medication regularly, with many older adults skipping or stretching their life-saving medication because of the high cost. Older Coloradans are the highest utilizers of prescription drugs in the state and many of our own members have expressed their frustration and concerns with rising health care costs. Adults 65 and older tend to spend the most on health care; and skyrocketing drug prices are driving up health care costs for all. This economic pressure piles on top of the emotional, physical, and psychological toll that patients

face on an almost daily basis. The Colorado Legislature created the PDAB with the passage of SB 21-175. Since 2023, the PDAB has reviewed three medications, and determined one of those medications, Enbrel, to be unaffordable for Coloradans. The PDAB is slated to complete affordability reviews on two additional medications in June.

set the precedent for potential future funding of unleaded aviation fuel subsidy programs at other Colorado airports beginning with the next grant cycle in early 2025, the news release states.

Colorado Aeronautical Board (CAB) Chair Kent Holsinger said in the news release that “the CAB and the Division of Aeronautics are excited to help facilitate our industry’s transition to a safe, a ordable eetwide unleaded aviation fuel, as those fuels continue to be developed. We are committed to assisting airports with this transition through innovative programs like this, and future Division funding for unleaded fuel infrastructure,” he said.

“We are committed to protecting our clean air and keeping Coloradans healthy no matter where they

live,” said Polis in the news release.

“ is session we took action to keep Coloradans who live near airports safe, and this grant will help Cen-

tennial Airport continue its work to transition to unleaded fuel, protecting our clean air and environment. I look forward to seeing more airports follow Centennial’s lead,” Polis said.

“ ere is no safe level of lead, and HB24-1235 makes transitioning away from lead aviation fuel a top priority,” said Rep. Kyle Brown, who was a co-sponsor of the bill, in the news release.

“I applaud the Department of Transportation and the Division of Aeronautics for working to immediately implement this new law,” said Brown.  “With this grant, Centennial Airport and Arapahoe County will continue to lead the way in transitioning towards unleaded fuel. I encourage airports across Colorado to follow Centennial’s lead in applying for this new funding.”

Centennial Airport Executive Director Mike Fronapfel said in the news release that “Centennial Airport is committed to being a global leader in sustainability and the transition to unleaded aviation fuel. We were the rst airport in Colorado to o er an FAA-approved alternate unleaded fuel to our customers. is happened by listening to our communities’ concerns, having a responsive airport board and elected leaders, and leveraging our strong partnerships with jetCenters of Colorado and based ight schools,” Fronapfel said.

“With the support of the Colorado Aeronautical Board, we can continue to facilitate the transition to unleaded aviation fuel not just at Centennial Airport, but across the state,” he said.

ago amid e orts to secure the Sante Fe Railway depot for use as a museum, Runyan said.

“Although the group was not awarded the depot after going through the proposal process, they still continued to expand and grow the society with the hopes that someday they could form a museum,” Runyan said.

When the Museum of Outdoor Arts vacated its space in the civic center almost two years ago, that opened the door for conversations with city

o cials and the society, she said.

e city and the society have an agreement for a year-long lease and the society also received some start-up funding.

“We hope that there is enough interest in the museum to support it going forward,” Runyan said. “If the city and the community sees its value that will hopefully lead to a contract renewal and perhaps a later expansion should redevelopment occur in that area down the line.”

In 2024, Colorado lawmakers took major steps to make housing more affordable

By: Vibrant Littleton

The 2024 Colorado State Legislative Session has come to a close and, unlike last year, we have real victories to celebrate in the housing space. Lawmakers, including our own State Senator Jeff Bridges, stepped up to the plate and went to bat for Colorado families to ensure they can continue to afford to live in our great state.

It’s no secret that we are facing a serious and growing housing crisis that has essentially become a humanitarian crisis. In fact, Colorado now has the 5th highest housing costs in the country. Recent polling found that an overwhelming 95% of Coloradans from across the state and across party lines said that the cost of renting or buying a home in Colorado is a problem, with 80% saying it was a major problem.

At the same time, 70% of Coloradans said that local governments were not doing enough to tackle this issue, and we know that the housing crisis doesn’t stop at city or county lines. That’s why it’s time to see this issue for what it is–a statewide problem–and why statewide action was necessary. This session Senator Bridges and other state lawmakers came together to pass historic pieces of legislation that will help ease our housing crisis, while still ensuring that local governments can make the best decisions for their communities.

House Bill 1313, which was signed into law this month, requires the creation of new housing near transit hubs. In Littleton, we have been at the forefront of regional discussions regarding transitoriented communities, and we recognize the vital role of public

transportation in fostering sustainable development. By building new homes near transit hubs, we can not only increase the availability of desperately needed housing, but also empower residents with expanded transportation choices. 68% of voters supported an initiative requiring cities and counties to allow more housing to be built near transit, businesses, shopping districts, and jobs.

Lawmakers also passed legislation to empower residents to help alleviate the housing crisis by building Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) on their property. House Bill 1152 removes restrictions on the creation of ADUs and provides grant funding to help homeowners construct them. More ADUs will help Coloradans stay in the homes and communities they grew up, create a home for a family member just starting out who

is struggling to afford housing, provide homeowners with extra income in the form of rent, and help older family members age in place.

These are just some of the initiatives that state lawmakers worked on this session to help ensure that Colorado families can afford to remain in the state that they love. We are grateful to our own Senator Bridges, Governor Polis and to all of the lawmakers that took action this session to alleviate the housing crisis. But there is still more to do, and we all need to work together at all levels of government to address this problem. Only by embracing new, statewide initiatives to increase housing options, can we hope to address the severe shortage of housing and build more inclusive, diverse and sustainable communities.

As an example, one of the commenters stated support for the county sheri ’s o ce and public works, which maintains roads.

“Please restore the public works and sheri to a high level of service,” one respondent commented on the discussion board.

Another commenter was opposed to any kind of property tax increase, imploring o cials to cut “everything,” including “the planning ofces and general services.”

e Centennial Citizen assessed comments like those to discern the trends.

Our e orts were hardly scienti c. We simply searched to see which words came up the most times in the 130 comments posted on the county’s website. It’s no surprise that some of the top most repeated words, so far, are “tax,” “cut,” and “services.”

We then charted the words in a graph and assigned a value to them — those commending the county for its services, those critical of services and those neutral or indiscernible. ose critical had more of an appetite for cuts. ose who commended services were more likely to support raising taxes to maintain services.

For instance, of 52 mentions of “tax” by commenters, 33 were critical, 13 commended the county and six were neutral or indiscernible.

Among the critical remarks regarding “tax” included this: “My property taxes jumped by 37% last year and now you want more?”

Another: “Cost of living is so high,

the last thing people need is higher taxes.”

County Public Information Ofcer Anders Nelson said county leaders have launched the listening campaign amid a budget shortfall.

“As Arapahoe County continues to grow, we have an increased demand for services with a limited revenue stream that can’t keep up,” Nelson said.

e county has identi ed potential cuts. It could mean up to $12 million less for the sheri ’s o ce. Public works could be cut by approximately $3.7 million. Human services and public health departments could collectively see a $4.7 million reduction.

e budget cuts could also lead to the elimination of the Aid to Agencies program that funds nonpro ts that work to answer the demand for a ordable housing, domestic violence support, mental health treatment and shelter, among many other services.

Some participants appreciate the county’s services and expressed support for taxes to pay for them.

One commenter called the county “responsive government with the lowest sales tax rate of all municipalities … and a low mill levy.” e commenter advocated for raising taxes to keep services: “I appreciate the (opportunity) for community input and support increased taxes if that’s what’s needed to keep these services available.”

Some “tax” comments neither supported a tax raise nor condemned the county, but rather wanted more information. “Still as always confused about Tabor tax refunds,” the commenter wrote.

e second-most used word was “cut.”

“If the elected and dept head’s only solution is more taxes or cut services, then maybe we have the wrong people in place?” one comment reads.

“ e priority should be where to start cutting and start cutting now,” another user wrote.

“Cut” was mentioned 20 times, with 18 of those commenters wanting the county to make budget cuts.

Only twice was “cut” mentioned in favor of the county maintaining services by raising taxes.

“Please do not cut services,” one commenter wrote.

Nelson said decisions must be made soon.

“Our ability to provide top levels of service is in jeopardy … which is why commissioners and elected ofcials will continue meeting with community members to better understand their thoughts and positions as they make plans for the future,” he said.

Another word that came up often in the comments is “safe,” which was mentioned 10 times — six in a positive light — highlighting residents’ feelings of safety in the community, largely upheld by law enforcement.

However, the word “safe” was also used to criticize Arapahoe County in

four instances.

One read: “I used to love the quiet and the safety. I no longer feel safe. e sheri needs to enforce the law and respond to calls in a timely manner.”

“Sheri ” was mentioned ve times in user comments, four of them appreciating the county sheri and advocating for prioritizing funding towards crime prevention if there are cuts.

e data also show clear margins for what concerns residents the most — the keywords, “spend,” “housing,” “crime,” “immigrants,” “citizen,” and “money,” were all noted to be used in a criticizing manner in the discussion board comments.

Arapahoe County’s public surveyconducted in February shows similar results.

e team behind the community outreach e ort to gather feedback from residents knew that educating residents about how the county works would be challenging.

“Many residents don’t understand what a county does or how our work is relevant to their everyday life,” Nelson said. “ at’s why we’ve focused a lot of our e orts on helping people understand what we do and why we have budget challenges. is education is important for people to make informed decisions on the three proposals on the table.”

now see with just absolute clarity.”

In response to calls for safer streets, Littleton has started to roll out a plan. Projects have been expedited amid the tragedy, and Stewart is hopeful about the progress.

“It’s just a complete sea change in the way our leaders, both elected and appointed leaders, view the safety of the people that use our streets,” Stewart said. “ at’s very inspiring, and it gives us a lot of hope.”

In February, the city council directed sta to speed up the process to improve bicyclist and pedestrian safety across the city. at kicked o a campaign called “Safer Streets Littleton.” e plan includes infrastructure upgrades, increased tra c enforcement and public education. e city has so far approved putting $2.3 million towards expediting pedestrian and bicycle improvements, and future investments are possible.

One element of the plan that Stewart commends are pilot projects — temporary street changes across the city to test what works.

When he started asking for change in the city, Stewart said he was told many improvements would require time for studies and hiring outside consultants. He said he is happy that the city is now taking action and trying new approaches faster.

“It feels like … the people in charge of these things are willing to take risks with pilot programs,” Stewart

said. “Let’s try things now and see how our city and our people accept it, and try a variety of things to see what actually does work (to) increase the comfort of a road instead of just the data-driven safety. at feeling of safety is now kind of in the forefront.”

e pilot projects include add-

ing 20 new crosswalks near schools, improved pedestrian crossings near trails and bike lanes.

Protected bike lanes will be added at portions of Pennsylvania Street and Phillips Avenue on the southeast side of Littleton and Belleview Avenue and Windermere Street on the north side of the city.

At Irving Street, where a bike lane was added last year, the city will add a bu er space between the bike lane and the car lane, transportation planner Kenna Davis said. e city also plans to add more tra c calming along that street.

SAFETY

e city will also make adjustments to a few pilot projects from last year that are not slowing tra c as much as sta had hoped.

Ben Traquair, a member of Vibrant Littleton and a leader of the Littleton Social Cycle group, said he is excited to see the speed at which the pilot projects are being installed. e city plans to have 38 pilot projects completed by the end of the summer.

“Very often, we hear about grand plans for improvements but have to wait years for anything to be installed,” he said. “Grand plans look nice on paper but they don’t keep families safe. So we are excited when we see real protections being built.”

Transportation Engineering Manager Aaron Huemann said these projects will help the city collect data before investing in permanent changes.

“ e ultimate idea behind the pilot project program is that we have them staggered over several years,” he said. “ e rst year, you’re analyzing something new. If it needs to

be tweaked, you make tweaks the next year. But once we feel like we have it down and it’s making a difference, then the plan is to go and put something in permanent … We don’t want to invest in a permanent installation unless we know it’s going to make a di erence long-term.”

Stewart said he hopes the city tests bold changes through the pilot projects. He said just putting di erent types of barriers between a bike lane and a car lane isn’t the same as rethinking a whole street, and he hopes the city does the latter.

Funding and studies

Stewart also said he was happy to see that the city reallocated some of its campaign funding since the initiative was proposed in February.

Originally, $250,000 was slated to go towards speed feedback signs that ash a driver’s speed at them as they drive by. Now, sta has reduced that pot by $195,000 and added money to pilot projects, additional snow removal equipment, school zone improvements, evaluations and personnel.

“ e speed feedback signs were something that, initially, we thought we were going to deploy on a wider basis, but we realized it would be

more strategic to put them on a couple corridors and see how the implementation goes, the data that we’re getting from them, before making a big investment,” Huemann said.

In addition to the pilot projects, the city has applied for a grant to conduct corridor studies of nine roads throughout the city, the results of which will inform infrastructure decisions going forward.

e city also hired expert consultants to conduct a school zone safety evaluation, which included observations and interviews with school resource o cers and principals. e city is also conducting a tra c calming evaluation to see what measures can be taken to slow tra c.

“We want to get someone in here who has national experience of what works all around — not only this region, but nationally, what’s being used in other places and implement that here,” Huemann said.

ere will also be a $250,000 corridor study at Euclid Avenue and Elati Street, near where Liam was killed. Huemann said the tra c calming evaluation will include an assessment of tra c circles in this area.

Stewart said he hopes the city seriously analyzes the tra c circles in that neighborhood, which he said

have been a safety concern for him even before his son’s death, which happened at one of them. e results of the evaluation will help the city update its tra c calming toolkit, adding more ideas for how sta can respond to neighborhood tra c calming requests.

Moving forward, sta said some of their biggest challenges will be sta ng and maintaining the new infrastructure, like plowing bike lanes. ey said they will likely ask the city council for more personnel and funding as the city continues to work towards these goals.

As he looks forward, Stewart said he knows big improvements will take time, but he is glad the path there has started.

“I’m really recognizing how long these things take, and that you can’t rush some things — but also recognizing that the city is doing such a thoughtful, expedited mission,” he said. “Maybe in my grandkids’ times, I can look back and I can look at the city and know that they feel much safer than we ever would have. at, I’ve accepted. And the importance, though, is that we really do have our hearts and minds on the issue at hand — and I really do think we’ve we’ve accomplished that.”

KUMMER

e trend, however, is for in ation to continue to decline, and some foods such as eggs and lettuce have already started down that path. is all boils down to the Fed doing a decent job of anticipating where interest rates need to be to curb in ation without pushing the economy into contraction or recession.

Every investor knows that patience is key, and this year is a true test of that. Meet with your advisor to map out your strategy and then work on portfolio construction. You can choose longer-term investments to help achieve future goals, and don’t be tempted to move things around too much

in the short term.

One good thing about higher interest rates for longer is that your fixed income investments continue to earn you decent dividends and interest coupons. This is all part of the diversification you will need in designing your portfolio in your overall plan. For market-based investments, remember, it is not about timing when to buy, it is about how much time you can leave investments to compound over long periods. Your patience and your advisor’s knowledge should prove to be a good combination in these challenging times.
