Heritage violist to play Carnegie Hall
totally di erent,” Hanselman continued with her description of the viola in comparison to the violin.

“Well, it’s bigger, and it has this resonant, deep C-string that gives it a completely distinct tone.”
ese are the words of Jane Hanselman, an 18-year-old senior at Littleton’s Heritage High School who has been playing the viola since she was 12.
“ e overall sound quality is
is summer, Hanselman will be performing in Carnegie Hall’s National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA), an elite ensemble that brings together the nation’s most talented young musicians. As the sole NYO-USA member from Colorado this year, Hanselman describes the viola as having a unique sound.
“I feel like it sounds a lot more like a human voice,” Hanselman said. “( e viola) doesn’t have the nasally quality of the violin, (and) when you go into the really high register of a cello, it’s also kind of whiny, but you
don’t get that in the lower end of the viola. So I think it’s the best of both worlds.”
e viola — often mistaken for the violin due to its similar appearance — is a handheld string instrument that produces a deeper sound than the violin.
When she’s not studying or practicing music, Hanselman participates in several orchestras and ensembles, including the Colorado Youth Symphony Orchestra, Spectrum String Ensemble and Denver Young Artists Orchestra.
She also teaches private piano and viola lessons weekly and says she learns more about her own skills when she is describing the fundamentals of music and the viola to a new learner.
“I think my general strategy is to use up all the time I have,” Hanselman said. “It’s always so much more ful lling to be in the practice room accomplishing something.”
Each summer, Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute selects youth musicians from across the nation to perform in NYO-USA.
Hanselman submitted her audition video in December — she played some excerpts of the pieces that NYO-USA will be playing this summer — and was noti ed in February that she was accepted.
“I was at school, in the practice room, alone, and I screamed. I just couldn’t believe it,” she said.
Police recover stolen painting
George Washington portrait had vanished from storage in 2024
BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After searching for more than a year, the Englewood Police Department has recovered a stolen historic painting of President George Washington. e lead investigator in the case, Det. Christian Contos, said the painting had been stolen in January 2024 from Extra Space Storage in the 3300 block of South Santa Fe Drive. Englewood police and the FBI Denver Field O ce worked together to recover the painting.
Last month, a Crime Stoppers tip provided a crucial lead, suggesting multiple individuals may have been involved in the theft. Contos identi ed someone he thought was in possession of the painting.
“I decided that publicizing this as much as possible might get someone’s attention, and even though it took over a year, someone was paying attention and contacted us with information,” Contos said. “ at information was further investigated, which led me to a person of interest. I was able to contact that person through his acquaintances, and he con rmed he had the painting, but he said he did not steal the painting and was understandably scared to come forward.”
A news release from the police department added more detail about the man who had the stolen painting. “He explained that

The Typical Wood-Frame Home Which Has Dominated Subdivisions Since the 1990s May Soon Be History
Let’s say that the writing is on the wall. The kind of site-built wood-frame homes that have dominated new American subdivisions since about 1990 are getting too expensive to satisfy America’s needs in a time of severe housing shortage.
Several factors are at work which make that style of home construction soon to be obsolete.
Factor #1: Labor shortages, especially with immigrant labor being deported.
Factor #2: Wildfire vulnerability of wood-frame homes, as demonstrated in Boulder County and more recently in southern California.
just a few years ago, but is now becoming mainstream. Other builders have learned from Lennar’s experience and multiple companies have entered that space.
Factor #3: Climate change, which is spiking a demand for greater resiliency in home construction — not just from fire, but from high-wind events like tornadoes and hurricanes.
Factor #4: Higher costs, aggravated no doubt by 25% tariffs on the Canadian lumber used in most new homes.
Having followed trade publications for the home construction and related industries, I am convinced that other technologies and techniques for home construction are about to go mainstream, making today’s wood-frame, onsite building process soon to be obsolete, or at least out of favor except for super expensive custom homes.
I also believe we will see more attention paid to the siting of new homes. It’s easy enough to site a home so that it benefits from solar gain, even if it is not solar-powered. Simply having big windows to the south with a wide overhang allowing solar gain from the low sun in the winter and shade from the high sun in the summer is a no-brainer, but it seems there has been a shortage of architectural brains in current and past siting of new homes. Similarly, having fewer windows on the north side of the house is simply smart “passive house” design.
Having an enclosed rather than open foyer (what’s called an “air lock”) is common sense too, and costs very little to implement.
That’s just the beginning of the changes I expect to see in new subdivisions. Lennar has already built a 3D printed subdivision in Texas (see picture). 3D printing of homes using concrete was a novelty (which I wrote about)
A Fast Company article in January 2023 proclaimed that “3D-printed houses are the suburbs of the future.”
The pictures at right are from that article. Here’s an excerpt: “Iowa City-based Alquist 3D, which specializes in reasonably priced automated construction in rural areas, has already started building Project Virginia, in which it will create 200 3D-printed homes (all variations on craftsman designs, also framed in layered concrete and topped with gabled wood-framed roofs) around the state, starting in tiny Pulaski (population 8,691). It’s also starting a 25-home project in Malvern, Iowa and a 10-home development in Muscatine, Iowa. Alquist founder and CEO Zachary Mannheimer says the firm has about 500 total units — ranging in price from $250,000 to around $400,000 — in the pipeline in Virginia, Florida, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Texas.”
Nothing says “mainstream” quite like Iowa and those other states. Colorado can not be far behind. Just last month, CBS Colorado (Channel 4 News) reported on a $638,000 grant under Colorado’s Innovative Housing Incentive Program to a Salida company, Verotouch, following the completion of their two 1,100-square-foot 3D-printed homes in Buena Vista.
“We are proud to accelerate innovation in housing to better address Colorado's housing needs,” Gov. Jared Polis said. “The unveiling of the first 3D-printed homes in the state is a great example of our state’s efforts to support new construction methods and create more housing now.”
The layered concrete walls of 3D-printed homes are naturally fire resistant. They are typically one-story homes with a standard peaked roof made from wood trusses, as you can see in the picture above. The front three homes in that picture show a 3-D home at different stages of completion. A gantry straddling the foundation transports the tube which lays down layer upon layer of concrete slurry following a computer program.

Oct. 13, 2022 — Homes That Survived Marshall Fire Were More Airtight & Had Conditioned Attics
In past columns, I have written about a local company, Colorado Earth, which has pioneered construction of homes using compressed-earth bricks called EcoBlox. That’s more labor intensive, since the walls have to be laid by workers, but homes share the same benefits of being fire and weather resilient.
New technology abounds in the other components that go into home construction. For example, in June 2023 I wrote about a company, Plantd, in North Carolina, which has developed an alternative to OSB, the wall sheeting and roof decking used in virtually all home construction, made from a fast-growing perennial grass, grown locally on former tobacco plantations, saving 17 trees per house
and sequestering 8 tons of carbon dioxide per house. See www.PlantdMaterials.com
A Fast Company article in October 2024 reported that homebuilder D.R. Horton had ordered 10 million of Plantd’s panels, enough to build 90,000 homes.
The innovation taking place in every other component of home construction — doors, windows, manufactured housing, appliances, and more — is stunning to behold, confirming for me that a major revolution in the home construction industry is already unfolding. Be sure that I’ll continue to write about it here!
I have posted links for everything mentioned in this article on our company blog at http://RealEstateToday.substack.com
Does Your Older Home Have a Federal Pacific Electrical Panel?
An estimated 28 million American homes built in the 1950s through the 1980s, including many in Colorado, have an electrical panel manufactured by Federal Pacific Electric, which lost its UL certification decades ago because of multiple failures of its Stab-Lok breakers to trip when overloaded, thereby causing a fire hazard.
Our friends at Alpine Building Performance, LLC, shared these additional issues with the FPE panels:
The breakers often don’t connect properly to the panel’s bus bars, causing arcing, overheating, and potential fire hazards.
Some Stab-Lok breakers get stuck in the “on” position, even when manually switched off, making it impossible to cut power.
Reports suggest that FPE manipulated UL testing results, leading to unsafe products being approved for use.
Studies indicate that homes with FPE panels have a significantly higher likelihood of electrical fires compared to other panels. For these reasons, any home inspector hired by a buyer can be expected to recommend that replacement be demanded of the seller.

A faraway galaxy comes to Hudson Gardens
Immersive theater doesn’t have to mean a lot of expensive bells and whistles — there are all kinds of ways to bring audiences into a new world. For Ren Manley, founding artistic director of Audacious eatre, it’s about involving all ve of the audience’s senses to transport them to a di erent place.
“ ere’s a lot of really cool stu happening in the theater scene in Denver, especially within the immersive and interactive area,” she said. “I’m interested in theater that involves all the senses because it’s more memorable for the audience and allows for connection in a more intimate way.”
Audacious eatre is portable theater company, so it usually takes its shows on the road. e plays are performed at places like breweries and other open spaces, and now it’s bringing its immersive experience to Hudson Gardens, 6115 S. Santa Fe Dr. in Littleton, at 6 p.m. on Sunday, April 27, with a production of “Space Con icts: May the Farce Be With You.”
Written by Rebecca Gorman-O’Neill, MSU Denver Professor of English and playwright, the show is a hilarious ri on one of the most beloved franchises in cinematic history. She was approached by Manley to write the show because Audacious was looking for a new fun production they could take on the road.
“We’d worked with Rebecca on shows in the past and she wrote a super fun, really cool script that plays with the idea of the hero’s journey,” Manley said. “She

Gorman-O’Neill said she had a great time writing the show, but her favorite part was working with Audacious to get the production working.
“I wrote the script, but then was in strong collaboration with the artists at Audacious, going to rehearsal, making changes on the y and playing up the strengths of the performers,” she wrote in an email interview. “I love the collaborative nature of writing for theater and working with the team was both fun and

“What’s great about the piece is that it’s a ‘trunk show’ — it can be picked up and performed about anywhere,” Gorman-O’Neill wrote. “I’ve seen it done in a couple di erent breweries and I’m excited that Audacious has an exciting new venue as well.”
e aim for everybody involved is to give audiences a taste of immersive theater while providing a great time out. And in a venue like Hudson Gardens, it will be di cult not to have a lot of fun with “Space Con icts.”

said. “If a claim is made by the owner, the insurance company would pay the owner for the value of the item. Once an insurance company pays out on a claim, the insurance company becomes the legal owner of the object. In this case, the owner had insured the painting, and the insurance company paid the claim to the owner, so the insurance company is now the legal owner of the painting.” Contos said if the owner of the painting wants to retrieve the painting, then it’s a civil matter between him and the insurance company.
“ e police will not become involved in how the owner and insurance company decide to settle their case,” Contos said. “Because the insurance company now owns this painting, the police are required to turn over the painting to the insurance company, unless the insurance company directs us to give the painting to someone else.”

“When I nally saw the painting in person, it was a huge relief,” Contos said. “I was nervous, but cautiously optimistic that the negotiations would work out and the painting would be turned over to me — but I was not going to be satised until that actually happened. I got the painting in hand on Friday night (March 28), and was excited the entire weekend.”
e painting is a copy of an original. It is a reverse oil on glass. It dates from 1805 to 1818 and is one of only six or seven copies in existence. Four of the copies are in museums.
Contos said he noti ed the original owner of the painting that it had been located and received.
Additionally, Contos said that if he is able to identify the person or people who stole the painting from the storage locker, then they could be charged with burglary and theft.

“We worked hard in the beginning to solve the case and we were unable to nd the painting early on, and he understood and appreciated all of our e orts then,” Contos said. “When I told him I had the painting back, he was incredibly appreciative that we never gave up. It’s always a good feeling when we can pass on good news to a crime victim.”
e painting was insured and will be turned over to the insurance company.

“As law enforcement, we wish we are able to solve every single crime that is reported, but that is just not a reasonable expectation,” Contos said. “I know that we need the assistance of the public to help solve crimes and recover stolen property, like this painting, and I am grateful and humbled when citizens speak up and help when they can as well. I am just excited that we were able to safely recover this incredibly important piece of American history.” e painting appears to be largely undamaged, besides some minor cosmetic damage to the frame.

A sports medicine strategy for her
First-of-its-kind program launches at Children’s Hospital Colorado
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
ree years ago, Nevaeh Zamora was running cross country as a high school freshman at Pinnacle Charter School in ornton when her body gave out. Malnourished and overtrained, she tore her hip exor, an injury that sidelined her and forced her to reevaluate everything she thought she knew about fueling her body.
“I went to eating only one meal a day because I thought, ‘Oh, the smaller runners are the ttest and the fastest, and that’s going to get me to that next point.’ And it ended up just running me to injury,” Zamora said.
at injury ultimately led her to the Female Athlete Program at Children’s Hospital Colorado, where she worked with sports medicine specialists, a nutritionist and a physical therapist to heal physically and mentally.
“Without the Female Athlete Clinic, I would not be where I am today,” Zamora said. “ ey de nitely took the naarrative that food was bad and shifted that completely. Without them, I don’t think I’d be graduating this year.”
Now, the Sports Medicine Center at Children’s Hospital Colorado is home to a rst-of-its-kind resource for young female athletes. Launched last fall, the Female Athlete Program takes a com-
prehensive, multidisciplinary approach to athlete health, one that goes beyond injury treatment to address nutrition, menstrual health, and long-term wellness.
Aubrey Armento, a pediatric sports
medicine doctor, marathon runner and advocate for young female athletes, leads the program.
Armento said she battled with underfueling and missed periods during high school and college, giving her rsthand
insight into how these challenges a ect performance and long-term health. As a result, she created a specialized program that not only treats female athletes but also helps prevent these issues before
“We bring together a sports dietitian and an adolescent gynecologist, which many programs don’t have because we know female athlete health isn’t just about one issue,” Armento said.
According to her, one of the most signi cant risks for female athletes is low energy availability, which refers to a mismatch between how much energy an athlete burns and how much she con-
“If an athlete doesn’t have enough energy to support normal body functioning, it can lead to what’s called the female athlete triad, “ Armento said. “So in response to that, we can see an athlete lose their period, have infrequent periods or delayed starts of their period.”
Armento emphasized the long-term risks of these issues, particularly for bone
“So we know that if somebody is not optimizing their bone health during adolescence in particular, which is when a large proportion of the bone mass that we have into our adult life is gained, we’re basically setting these athletes up for increased risk for osteoporosis,” she said.
She explained that warning signs can range from frequent injuries and slow recovery times to more subtle cues like avoiding team meals or engaging in restrictive eating patterns.

A personal journey to help a friend in need
In our fast-paced, instant-grati cation world, I sometimes worry that encouragement is an art form we are forgetting how to use.
Some might be thinking I am wrong that they can point out inspiring things all around us. But encouraging others is di erent than inspiring them. Inspiration res our hearts and points the direction we should go. Encouragement says let me walk alongside you as you navigate this di cult path.
Encouraging others is not complicated but does take some intentionality. Two of the most helpful things you can do when trying to encourage others is to personalize the encouragement and to create opportunities for people to receive that encouragement on their time frame.
Sometimes, a window into how someone else has done something is the very best way to help you imagine how to do it yourself. As I have mentioned in the past, “Words of Encouragement” started when I was looking for a way to support a friend and his wife as they navigated his stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis. My e orts were far from perfect, but they were genuine, heartfelt e orts. My encouragement came in the form of emails so that they could read on their own time.
Today, I am sharing two of the emails that I sent Shane and Summer over the course of his four-year battle, in hopes that you will nd inspiration for encouraging others.

of Shane’s rst chemotherapy rounds. You could see, at that time, that the medicine was wearing him out, and he needed encouragement to keep going. e second came as Shane was battling for his life three years into his ght and needed to be reminded of the beauty surrounding his life. Less than a year later, he would lose that battle.

Shane and Summer,
Every Monday in college during the football season, we had to run the CC (Colorado College) Stadium Hill 10 times at the end of practice. e hill was probably 35 yards long and very vertical. I never liked that hill, but I especially hated it when we were preparing to run the ninth hill. I hated it because we were not done, but we were close. ere was still work to do and no way around it. Each week it took a special kind of mental focus to get started on that ninth hill.
Marathon runners talk about the 19th mile in the same way (OK, my hill was less taxing than seven more miles of running.) ey tell about the mental energy that must go into breaking through that 19th-mile barrier.
As someone working to overcome a struggle, I know you can re ect on barri-
Gluteal tendinopathy is overlooked cause of hip pain
Hip pain isn’t just a normal part of aging, it may be gluteal tendinopathy, a condition that affects the tendons connecting your hip muscles to your bones.
Common in postmenopausal women, this condition causes the tendon tissues to break down or deteriorate, resulting in painful activity and daily discomfort that only gets worse with time. Estrogen loss after menopause weakens tendons, increasing susceptibility to injury. As many as 1 in 3 people with lower back pain also develop hip pain from gluteal tendinopathy.
Contributing factors include:
• Prolonged sitting or inactivity
• Excess weight gain or obesity applying pressure on tendons
• Hip instability or a wide pelvis
• Overuse from walking, running, or stair climbing
• Past falls or accidents
What are the symptoms?
Many of the women I know with gluteal tendinopathy have moderate to severe hip pain, which they describe as a sharp, dull or burning feeling that worsens with movement. e pain can be a tender feeling around the hip joint, that will tingle or swell and even go numb. Women often share that the pain extends down the outer side of their leg and at times, down
ers you have needed to ght through as well.
You, me, marathon runners; we have all done what we needed to do because we knew the reward for our diligence. is part of your struggle is no di erent than those hills, or that mile. e rewards are bigger, but the mental energy needed to make it up that hill is tremendous. We would all have you take a di erent road if it were possible. But it is not. So, you are going to do what must be done. is is the time when you must believe in the process, trust in God’s plan, and use all of the determination you can muster. is struggle is messy, but you are built to push through it. You have the mental toughness inside you. e rewards are coming, every indicator points to that result. Stay strong.
You have got this,

to their knees. e pain is often worse in the morning and increases in pain intensity during activities like walking, climbing stairs or running.
What can you do?
Symptom relief may take up to a year without treatment.
Physical therapy exercises have been proven to ease symptoms and help manage the pain. However, here are some at-home treatments you can do to minimize symptoms:
• Apply heat to the painful area
• Avoid low chairs
• Minimize stair climbing
• Avoid crossing your legs
• Sleep with a pillow between your knees
• Note of caution: Stretching can make symptoms worse If you’re experiencing symptoms don’t hesitate to schedule a checkin. With the right approach, you can stay active and pain-free well into the future.

When the cost of my home internet rose from $60/mo to $110/mo, I decided it was time to forfeit this unnecessary cost and rediscover the library. Most of my usage was for streaming videos anyway, if I’m being honest. However, streaming services o er a pre-determined, algorithmic menu, which many scroll for an hour,nally deciding “there’s nothing to watch”. So, the loss was not a great one; rather a relief.
e library represents the antithesis of the algorithm: Instead of being told what to consume, we reclaim our interests and choices. Use of the library and all of its forms of media requires us to ask, “What is important to me? What do I value? Where do I want to put my attention?”. Your attention, reader, is one of your most valuable assets in this age of distraction; your values one of the only things that can never be taken.
As a result of ending constant connection in my home, I have read books and seen shows (on DVD — imagine!) that I would not have otherwise. I nd myself at my local branch two-to-three times a week, interacting with my neighbors and stumbling upon unexpected in-person events. My home life is more dedicated to true relaxation and hobbies that stimulate rather than sedate. Lest I am assumed to be a retiree, I am, in fact, in my late 30s — a Millennial.
stitute for Museum and Library Services is facing cuts, its right to exist coming into question under this new presidency. I, for one, believe this to be a terrible omen for freedom of speech and accessibility to information. I am honored when my taxes go to support it and urge my fellow neighbors to rediscover and protect this indispensable public service.

Organ donation is gift of life
April is National Donate Life Month, and this year I nd myself re ecting on a journey that has profoundly reshaped by life.
In December 2021, I was diagnosed with a chronic liver disease and my life as I knew it was put on hold. e time and energy I used to spend doing the things I loved like skiing and mountain climbing were replaced by fatigue and the constant shadow of uncertainty.
Over the next two years, I endured a blur of medical interventions, including 12 surgeries to try and manage the debilitating e ects of my condition. Finally,

With nine months to go, let’s go
It’s the end of March, and for many individuals and businesses, the rst quarter didn’t quite go as planned. Goals were set with optimism and purpose back in January: tness, revenue, personal growth, new skills and better habits. Yet here we are, three months in, and some of those goals are already collecting dust.
It happens. A slower start than expected can feel like a weight we now have to carry and catch up on. And that’s where the real danger begins, awed thinking. Instead of redistributing the shortfall across the remaining months, many of us go into panic mode and try to cram all the unmet goals into the next few weeks. It’s a trap.
Let’s take a tness example. Suppose someone sets out to lose 30 pounds this year. By the end of March, they’ve lost three. at’s a tenth of the way there; not exactly o to the races. e common response? “I have to lose the next 27 pounds as fast as possible.” ey triple their workouts, restrict their food to extremes, and set unrealistic goals, like losing 10 pounds in a month. And what happens? ey burn out. ey get discouraged. And often, they quit. “Maybe next year,” they say.

Broadway to get a new underpass in Littleton
BY ISABEL GUZMAN ISABEL@COTLN.ORG
e City of Littleton is set to begin a major infrastructure project later this month on South Broadway in an e ort to address both safety concerns and long-standing community needs. e work, slated to start in April and conclude by early fall, will replace a deteriorating metal culvert — a structure that allows water to ow under an obstruction, such as a road — beneath Broadway just north of Jamison Avenue with a durable concrete pipe.
is repair requires digging a 30-foot trench, reducing tra c to one lane in each direction for the project’s duration. It is expected to cost up to $9 million, according to the Denver Gazette.
In addition to repairing the culvert, the city plans to also construct a pedestrian underpass beneath Broadway, connecting the east and west sections of the Lee Gulch Trail. e underpass aims to provide
safer access for pedestrians and cyclists to the High Line Canal Trail.
“Currently, pedestrians and bicyclists traveling along the Lee Gulch Trail must detour 800 feet to cross Broadway at the high-tra c intersection with Jamison Avenue and cross an access route to AdventHealth Littleton Hospital, risking con icts with vehicles,” Littleton o cials said.
e city said the pedestrian underpass has been a priority in local planning e orts for decades, including the Broadway Corridor Study and Littleton Linkages Trail Study. However, its construction was previously considered infeasible due to the challenges of working beneath the busy street of Broadway.
Littleton has recently been working on similar infrastructure upgrades, having completed culvert replacements on Jackass Hill Road and East Mineral Avenue in 2023.
Updates on this project will be shared through LittletonCO.gov, the city’s social media channels, and the Littleton Report newsletter.

State school meals program could be cut back
Lawmakers’ proposed solution hinges on voter support
BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT
Colorado’s popular universal free school meals program could face substantial cuts next year if voters don’t approve a measure for additional funding.
e state is facing challenges on two fronts with the Healthy School Meals for All program: less overall revenue for the program than it costs to run and a $1.2 billion budget shortfall that requires cuts to state programs and won’t provide enough money to cover the program’s operations.
Joint Budget Committee lawmakers released a $43.9 billion budget proposal that includes accompanying legislation to address the program’s funding.
In the best case scenario, voters approve more revenue for the program and the state avoids cuts. In the worst case, state cutbacks would mean only some schools would be eligible to get money for free lunches.
In 2022, Colorado voters allowed the state to raise revenue to make breakfast and lunch free for all students regardless of family income by lowering a tax credit for taxpayers making more than $300,000 a year.

In the rst year, funding fell short by $56 million. Lawmakers covered the gap and have continued to do so as the demand for meals soared. Next year, lawmakers will no longer be able to cover costs through the state’s education savings.

e bill would reduce additional state funding to $8 million, enough money to maintain the program through December.

In the rst, lawmakers pass House Bill 1274, which is already under consideration and sends two referendums before voters in November to raise more money for the program.

Conductor Gianandrea Noseda and violinist Ray Chen will accompany them as they also explore Asia and perform in Japan.
“It’s hard to make connections with other people when they ask, ‘hey, what do you do?’ and I say, ‘oh, I play the viola,’ and they’re like, ‘what’s that?’” she said.
Hanselman said she also struggles to nd others who share her love for orchestral music.
“But I don’t know, I feel like (classical) music is timeless for a reason and the reason people keep visiting it is because there’s such a relatable message that
e rst referendum would ask voters to approve allowing the state to retain money for the program that typically must be refunded to taxpayers due to the state’s cap on spending.
e second referendum would ask voters to expand the program by increasing taxable income on those who earn over $300,000 a year.
A nancial analysis of the bill estimates that referendum would generate more than $95 million each year for the school meals program.

Hanselman’s favorite piece she’s ever played was Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 3”for the Denver Young Artists Orchestra.
“It’s probably my favorite piece of music, ever,” she said. “ at was a really special moment.”
Hanselman also recently played in Littleton High School’s pit orchestra for its “Cinderella” musical in March, an opportunity she said she’s thankful for.
She also credits her teachers who have supported her along the way — from her rst teacher, Bobbie Nelson, who introduced her to youth orchestra groups, to her current teacher, Chris Luther, who owns Luther Strings in Denver.
Once Hanselman returns from New York in August, she will attend the University of Colorado Boulder and plans to double major in viola performance and music education, with goals of becoming a conductor in the future.
“If you don’t know anything about the viola or classical music … there are actually so many opportunities to learn about it,” Hanselman said.
doesn’t pass, only schools that currently participate in the federal Community Eligibility Provision program would qualify for meals free of charge.
Schools where at least 25% of the population quali es for the federal free or reduced lunch pricing threshold would also receive funding.
Students at other schools would have to ll out a federal form to receive free or reduced meals.

In March 2020, Christian churches across the Denver area shut their doors during the initial COVID-19 shutdowns. Many hoped the doors would be reopened for Easter in April.
But they weren’t.
Instead, local Christians watched their churches’ Easter celebrations online while their pastors preached and their musicians played for empty churches.
e Very Rev. Richard Lawson of St. John’s Cathedral — the Episcopal cathedral in central Denver — recalled that Easter, saying, “ ere were less than ve people in the entire cathedral, and two of them were priests.”
Meanwhile, some smaller congregations like the United Church of Idaho Springs held its Easter service via video conference, where everyone logged in to worship together.
Five years later, local church leaders expected this Easter would look more normal. But even then, they couched it as “the new normal,” outlining how much their churches have changed in terms of technology, membership, ministry and more in the last ve years.
In March 2025, Colorado Community Media spoke with Christians leading six churches across ve denominations and four counties in the Denver area. While experiences varied, they all said their congregations have changed permanently
since March 2020.
“It has been a really hard journey,” said Rev. Susan Otey of the First United Methodist Church of Golden. “Pastoring during COVID was some of the hardest work I have ever done … I could see that God was working to make something good out of a terrible situation.”
Disciples in the digital age
Across the board, leaders from the six churches said technology was far and away the biggest change.
Before, none of them o ered online options for Sunday services; now, all of them either livestream or allow people to join via video conference.
In general, they said it’s a great help, as church members can now join when they are homebound, sick or traveling. e United Church of Idaho Springs has a member who moved to Minnesota but still joins remotely, and some churches said they also livestream funerals so loved ones can watch from anywhere.
Figuring out how to livestream services in spring 2020 was rough going, as churches had to get creative with the limited resources they had.
For instance, the First United Methodist Church of Fort Lupton started by taping an iPad to a tripod. Now, the church has a dedicated camera in the sanctuary, and Church Council Chair Neena Hagans monitors the livestream from the choir loft.
Otey said the pandemic pushed her congregation
to invest in the technology necessary to livestream services, which might not have happened until 2030 otherwise.
“COVID taught us that virtual services are essential in this day and age,” she continued. “( e pandemic) pushed us several years into the future.”
Along with Sunday services, technology is now a key aspect in other parts of church life, from online giving to hybrid Bible studies, church leaders said.
Daren Forbes, who’s on the Arvada Stake communications council for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said there is “an abundance of podcasts” that he and his fellow church members use to help them study scripture, church history and similar topics.
In fact, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has its own app with all its holy texts, the given year’s curriculum, videos and other resources “to augment study in the home,” he described.
Forbes and other Christians throughout Denver clari ed how these technologies don’t replace inperson services or fellowship opportunities. ey are simply another option.
Lawson believes that, especially after the pandemic, “people are hungry for community,” whether that’s in-person or online.
“Livestreaming has expanded our reach beyond what we ever could’ve imagined,” Lawson said. “It’s too bad it took COVID to teach us that.”

CHURCHES
Parishioners in the pews
In general, the number of Coloradans identifying as Christian has declined, mirroring a national trend, according to Colorado Public Radio; and the Associated Press has reported how Protestant denominations’ national membership has been declining for years.
Regarding their own ocks, leaders from the six churches had mixed experiences.
Otey and Lawson said their congregations in Golden and Denver, respectively, have actually grown over the last ve years, especially if one includes online attendance. eir biggest demographic changes have been with young families and young adults, respectively.
Otey believed it was because people are seeking out a community that shares their values and beliefs, with the idea of raising their children in it, too. She summarized those parents’ experiences as: “I want to teach my kids about loving and serving our neighbors.”
Meanwhile, Forbes said the Arvada Stake’s overall membership hasn’t changed signi cantly, but there have been a few demographic shifts over the last ve years.
As western Arvada has grown, so has church membership in that area. Members from western Arvada tend to be young families, while eastern Arvada is more older people who’ve lived in the area for decades, Forbes described.
Additionally, he said the Arvada Stake has seen signi cant growth among its Spanish-speaking population.
Contrastingly, membership at the United Church of Idaho Springs and the First United Methodist Church of Fort Lupton have declined slightly.
Vivian Simpson, chair of the church council, said the United Church of Idaho Springs was averaging about 30 people at Sunday services before the pandemic. Now, it’s about 20 people in-person with another ve online.
Fort Lupton church leaders said their congregation averaged 80 to 100 people on Sundays before the pandemic. Now, it’s down to about 60 in the pews, with some joining online.
For the First Baptist Church of Denver, while its attendance and overall membership haven’t changed much, its space utilization has.
Kurt Kaufman, a member of the pastoral team, said the church used to have a high demand for facility rentals and parking-space leases before the pandemic. Now, demand for both has gone down signi cantly, impacting the church’s budget.
“We haven’t had a parking waitlist since 2019,” Kaufman said. “We’ve had to rethink what we do to make money and how to survive as a congregation.”
Pastors in the pulpit
Both the First Baptist Church of Denver and the United Church of Idaho Springs said their previous pastors left within the last ve years, and they’ve struggled to nd replacements.
Kaufman said he and fellow members of the First Baptist Church’s pastoral team are rotating responsibilities, including preaching on Sundays.
Similarly, Simpson said the Idaho Springs church has been looking for a part-time pastor since its former pastor retired in 2021.
Because it’s a combined Methodist and Presbyterian congregation, Simpson said the church has looked through Methodist, Presbyterian and unafliated channels. It’s had some interest, but nothing that worked out long-term, she described.
“Nationwide, there’s a shortage of ordained ministers for Methodist and Presbyterian (churches),” she said.
Simpson added that the Idaho Springs church can only a ord a part-time pastor, which makes the search more di cult.
In a similar vein, the First United Methodist Church of Fort Lupton has had a dedicated pastor in the Rev. Anna Viehland since 2022, but she splits her time between Fort Lupton and another Methodist church in Erie.
On March 29, St. John’s Cathedral ordained four
people as deacons. ey’re now scheduled to be ordained as priests in October.
Lawson said four ordained ministers in a year is about average for the Episcopal Church’s Diocese of Colorado.
However, with the in ux of young adults at the cathedral, Lawson said he’s seen increasing interest in ordination among his congregation. In 2025, St. John’s Cathedral will have ve members attend seminary, including one of the newly ordained, he said.
Charity in the community
In terms of ministry — both for their members and for the wider community — there were some common threads among the six churches.
Along with a greater push for online or hybrid events, church leaders said they’ve seen more demand for small-group events, such as Bible studies, parent groups and in-home ministering.
On top of their continued interfaith partnerships, the two Denver churches said they’ve seen more demand for social justice-focused events and groups.
In addition to its Faith in Action ministry, Lawson said St. John’s Cathedral now has the Re-Imagining Justice group that focuses on racial healing, and the Migrant Interest Group that does pro-immigration work.
Kaufman said the First Baptist Church is now “more attuned to hunger and social justice issues around our community” than it was pre-pandemic.
Part of that is because of its new outdoor community fridge, which has already distributed about 30,000 pounds of food since February 2023.
Additionally, because its parking lot isn’t as full as it once was, Kaufman said the church has been able to host a shower trailer and a safe parking program.
e other four churches said they’ve likewise seen increased demand among their safe parking programs, free weekly meals and similar ministries; and they’ve worked to meet that demand alongside other churches and nonpro ts.
“Some things that started during COVID really de ned who we are as a church,” Otey said. “We increased our services tremendously.”
During the COVID-19 shutdowns, Otey described how her church worked with the larger Golden community to distribute free food to the homebound and unsheltered — even distributing food outside when indoor gatherings were restricted.
And that work has continued to the present day, she said, as the church has expanded from free meals once a week to three times a week.
Forbes encouraged people to visit justserve.org to nd service opportunities near them. ese events are open to anyone, not just Christians, he emphasized, saying it could be anything from painting a
house to working at a local food bank.
“It’s become even more apparent how important those service opportunities are because of COVID and what we’re experiencing in society,” Forbes said. “We have more in common with our neighbors than we think … (and) when we have an opportunity to serve one another, those di erences dissipate.”
‘Best of all, God is with us’
Another common thread among the six churches was how di cult the last ve years have been, in one form or another.
Church leaders discussed loneliness among their members, concern about the declining number of Christians locally and nationally, and burnout among their volunteers and ordained ministers.
Viehland, Fort Lupton’s pastor, described how she’s seen not only laypeople but also clergy struggle with the pandemic’s immediate and long-term fallout.
She believed some clergy members — not necessarily local ones — were already burnt-out, and the pandemic was a deciding factor in them leaving ordained ministry. And Viehland said she didn’t blame them.
“Five years out, we’re just starting to reckon with the spiritual and emotional trauma that came from (the pandemic),” Viehland said.
Kaufman said the First Baptist Church was full of hope and joy when he joined in 2019. Now, he said it’s been “a struggle to nd joy with anything” and that the congregation has shifted to one that’s “less hopeful and more fearful.”
Still, leaders from all six churches o ered messages of hope and faith, especially with Easter approaching.
“It’s been very challenging to nd hope in earthly, worldly things,” Kaufman said. “‘Where is it that I nd hope?’ e only place is in my faith.”
Similarly, Fort Lupton church leaders summarized the experience of faith by quoting Methodist Church founder John Wesley: “Best of all, God is with us.”
Kaufman, Forbes and Simpson invited fellow Christians to celebrate Easter by deepening their relationships with God and with one another.
ey also encouraged those “who are searching for something” to visit a local church and ground themselves in a loving God and a welcoming community.
Otey also emphasized how God’s love is unconditional and how the Holy Spirit is at work in everyone’s lives, community and shared world, even if they don’t know it.
Re ecting on the changes of the last ve years, and all the changes that are to come, Lawson said: “God is as real as God has ever been.”

One challenge Armento sees regularly is the impact of social media on young athletes’ eating habits.
“Unfortunately, we see a lot of young people who may start to engage in bad diets that they see on TikTok, for example.”
Restrictive eating habits can worsen energy imbalances, leading to more injuries and long-term health consequences, which is why the program includes a nutrition consultation with a registered sports dietician and individualized nutrition goals.
Shifting the narrative around female athlete health
Beyond patient care, Armento said the
Female Athlete Program aims to raise awareness about the risks associated with the female athlete triad.
“Our big goal is to be a resource in the Colorado area,” Armento said. “So for these young female athletes who may be struggling with body image, proper fueling or slow recovery, they know they can come to the Female Athlete Program at Children’s and get high quality, comprehensive care.”
Armento has found encouragement in the increased visibility of elite athletes discussing these issues.
“I’ve been really happy to see highpro le athletes that have a platform use their platform in a positive way to try to promote healthy relationships with food and di erent body types and exercise,” she said.

help other athletes. For her senior capstone project, she created a workshop for freshmen at her school about food positivity and the impact of diet culture on young athletes.
“I told them, ‘If you ever need an excuse to eat ice cream, I’m your excuse. Eat the ice cream because life’s too short,’” Zamora said. “It’s not that I run so I get to eat. I eat so I get to run.”
Armento urged athletes to reach out early if they are struggling.
“My biggest piece of advice is not to be scared to speak up and let somebody know that you’re having a hard time because there (are) many resources in place to help provide support. And I think the sooner the better,” she said.
She also reminds athletes that they are not alone in this.
“ ere are sports dietitians that work

virtually and can see patients all over the country,” she said.
Zamora, now preparing for college, said the program helped her build a healthy relationship with food that will serve her for years to come.
“I can say with full con dence that I trust that I’m going to eat, and my mom trusts that I’m going to eat,” she said. “Without that program, I wouldn’t be able to move in this direction.”
Armento hopes the program will become a key resource for young female athletes across the region.
“Ultimately, our goal is to help athletes build healthy relationships with food, their body and exercise that will carry them into their adult lives, so they can continue to be active and participate in the sports they love for many, many years,” she said.
