Parties look for front-runners to emerge in crowded field Some big names who left the race would have been among the favorites for governor

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Former Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo — known for his hardline stance against illegal immigration — was shaping up to be the GOP front-runner for this year’s governor’s race, some pundits believe.

Then, Tancredo dropped out of the race Jan. 30 due to lower-than-desired fundraising.

On the Democratic side, U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder — who pushes for Colorado to transition to 100 percent renewable energy use by 2040 — has emerged as a favorite, according to some pundits and polling.

Polis and former state Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, are leading the Democrats’ in campaign donations with about $1.5 million each.

On the Republican side, state Treasurer Walker Stapleton held the top fundraising spot with about $1 million.

But in a packed field, the path to the nomination isn’t plowed clear.

side.

“Followed by Victor Mitchell and maybe (state Attorney General) Cynthia Coffman,” Webb said.

In Webb’s analysis, Stapleton, Coffman, former state Rep. Mitchell, who is a businessman from Castle Rock, and Doug Robinson — Mitt Romney’s nephew — would have petitioned to be candidates on the ballot rather than try to beat Tancredo for the traditional party assembly vote, the state counterpart to the national party conventions that select presidential nominees.

“Everyone expected him to overwhelmingly win the assembly,” Webb said. “The fact that (he dropped out) means the assembly is up for grabs in a big, big way.

“Somebody’s gonna have to fill the void that Tancredo supporters had.”

Tancredo set up a potential split in the party, according to Webb.

That Tancredo was willing to get out of the race when he was a front-runner was a “selfless act” to ensure the nominee wouldn’t repel some Republican voters in the general election, Webb said, but he also knows 50 or 60 people who left the GOP and came back to the party because Tancredo was the nominee.

For Democrats, U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Arvada would have been a top contender before he dropped out of the race, said Eric Sondermann, a Colorado political analyst who founded the Denver communications agency SE2, which does marketing related to public policy and opinion.

38th and Blake area gets approval for taller buildings Developers must include more affordable units; some question wisdom of plan

BY ANDREW KENNEY AKENNEY@DENVERITE.COM

The Denver City Council on Feb. 12 approved a plan that could bring a cluster of 16-story buildings to the 38th and Blake Station area.

The changes passed with a strong majority, but it brought an intense debate to the council chambers: Would a surge of new residential units simply accelerate gentrification and drive out residents of nearby neighborhoods?

Or could the city harness development in a way that would ease the housing crisis?

Developers really like 38th and Blake. The station is the first on the light-rail line from downtown to the airport, and land here is cheaper than downtown. Some groups have already proposed plans that would rise to 12 and even 16 floors.

“This area in particular has seen substantial velocity in investment, like nowhere else we’ve seen in the city,” said planning director Brad Buchanan.

The bill approved Feb. 12 opens the door for that kind of high-rise construction. But the new rules have a catch for developers: Residential tow-

ers could only reach the highest heights if they also build or pay for extra affordable housing within the area.

“Do you want to build higher? Yes, you can do that — but at a price — a price the community helped to set and design,” Buchanan said.

Under the rules, a residential highrise near 38th and Blake might end up with roughly 6 to 10 percent of its units being affordable, according to city staff. The rules for those taller buildings require five times more affordable housing than the city’s normal requirements.

The units must serve people making less than 80 percent of the area median income, or about $60,000 for a family of three — a level that some critics said wasn’t affordable enough, though housing vouchers can further drive down the cost.

The units have to stay affordable for at least 20 years under citywide standards.

Commercial and office buildings also would have to pay into a citywide affordable housing fund or provide community benefits, such as childcare or community kitchens, in order to build higher.

The plan doesn’t require parking within a half-mile of the station, a move meant to encourage transit ridership and decrease construction costs.

“We’re creating more density, and yet we’re not requiring enough park-

ing,” said Councilwoman At-large Debbie Ortega. Still, Council President Albus Brooks said that parking will be allowed, and often is required by the banks that back projects.

People at the public hearing said the package needed more affordable housing.

“The requirements for affordability are not enough considering the actual dynamic of displacement, there should be more consideration of this issue,” said Five Points resident Mercedes Gonzales through a translator.

City staff said that the rates were based on modeling of what developers could handle financially.

“This project gives an illusion that it is the solution. This is merely a gift to your campaign financier, the developers,” said Vanessa Quintana.

Some asked whether the area could absorb this much growth.

Some of the concern is about physical constraints. The Cole Neighborhood Association is concerned that the 38th Street underpass will be overwhelmed.

Others said that the creation of a high-density hub would raise rents and property taxes in surrounding neighborhoods, including Globeville.

Candi CdeBaca, who is running for Council President Albus Brooks’ council seat, said community groups weren’t properly involved and that the change was an invitation “to more easily build in one of the more vulnerable areas.”

On the other hand, city planner Abe Barge said that adding new units would “take pressure off ” housing prices generally, and that the new affordable units would further help.

Speaker Andy Sense said that the city had to “say `yes’ to housing at all price points” while expanding its affordable housing efforts.

The bill passed 11-1, with Councilman Paul López as the only opposition. Councilwoman Stacie Gilmore was absent due to the death of her father-in-law.

Brooks, an original proponent of the new rules, said that the plan’s denser development and urbanism were parts of the answer to soaring housing prices.

Adding supply should lower prices, he said, especially with guaranteed affordable units. He blamed some of the backlash on “fear of change.”

“Somewhere between soaring skyscrapers and soaring housing costs lies the answer,” said Brooks.

Councilwoman Robin Kniech agreed with Brooks but said that the critical response from the community was “appropriate and necessary.”

Councilman Rafael Espinoza said he would support it because it was “marginally better than the status quo” but wanted it pushed further.

Councilman Paul Kashmann said that it’s “better than zero,” but that it would hardly make a dent in the need.

Mix of local, national issues loom large in race for governor Some pundits believe referendum on Trump could weigh heavy

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Affordable housing. Crowded highways. Crumbling roads. More money for schools. A safe retirement for public employees. The fate of young immigrants.

The issues stretch across rural and urban lines, promising to focus the 2018 governor’s race on what matters most to local residents.

But in the eyes of Eric Sondermann, a Colorado commentator who made a name for himself analyzing public opinion, another key element also will affect the outcome: President Donald Trump.

Some experts say his hard-line stances on legal immigration and undocumented immigrants who arrived as children — and even his character and behavior — could wind up handing Republicans a handicap and force them to decide how far to the fringe they’ll go.

GOP leaders from metro-area counties, however, see things differently.

Some say Trump won’t be a factor and that Coloradans will be focused on local issues. Others maintain he could benefit Republicans’ efforts to get elected.

Just how much any issue — local or national — will color the contest remains to be seen. Here’s what politi-

cal experts and party officials around Colorado have to say about the governor’s race that voters will decide in November.

Where budget meets the road “You ever try to get on I-25 on Friday at rush hour?” asked Joe Webb, Jefferson County Republican Party chair. “When it takes people an hour and a half to get from Lakewood to Westminster, they’re gonna want everything fixed.”

That concern, along with spending on education and Colorado’s publicpension program, PERA, will be top state-specific issues in the race, according to party chairs, a state Democratic Party official and political pundits.

“Fix the roads without any increase in taxes, and I think that’s very, very doable,” Webb said.

State lawmakers have recently pointed to hundreds of millions of dollars in previously unanticipated state revenues that could be divvied up different ways.

In a state with a booming population, Eric Walker, spokesman for the Colorado Democratic Party, said his party’s candidates would support an “ambitious infrastructure plan” — Democratic state lawmakers have supported a bill based partly on a sales-and-use-tax increase of less than 1 percent to raise money for transportation spending — and expand affordable-housing tax credits to mitigate rising costs.

On another hand, fracking, energy development and environmental issues have more traction here than in other states, said Sondermann, a political analyst who founded the Denver communications agency SE2, which does marketing related to public policy and opinion.

U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder, “will clearly be pinned as an environmental extremist with an energy policy that will hurt Colorado,” said Tom Peterson, Elbert County Republican Party chair.

The Public Employment Retirement Association, known as PERA, which provides retirement and other benefits to employees of government and public entities in Colorado, is more than $30 billion underfunded, and Republicans and Democrats are likely to fight over how to address the problem.

“PERA and making it stable is number 2” in issues that will affect the race, Webb said. Republicans would likely support moving to a definedcontribution plan, Webb said — like a 401(k), in which the employee chooses to fund the plan, which takes the risk off the employer, which in this case is the state government. Democrats in the state Legislature have indicated they want to keep the defined-benefits plan — in which the employer guarantees a specific retirement amount and bears the risk of promising the investment will be available.

But “current retirees have to be protected,” Webb said of a potential

shift to a defined-contribution framework. “We have to gradually find a way to modernize the system.”

Lori Goldstein, Adams County Democratic Party chair, said the issue of public-education funding will also affect the race.

“I think voters have been demanding for a long time (that) we need schools to keep pace,” said Walker, noting that Colorado ranks toward the bottom of states nationwide for per-pupil education spending.

b C The Trump factor a Drawn-out fights in Washington L over the Deferred Action for Childm hood Arrivals (DACA) policy, building s t Trump’s proposed Mexican-border wall and his push to cut legal immi- o gration could play a role in Colorado t as the race unfolds.

“I think we’re in a different age — h politics has been turned on its head. t Twenty years ago, the old adage was, c p ‘All politics is local.’ All politics is national (now),” Sondermann said.

Trump “and all the emotions he arouses, whether it’s support on one side or resistance on the other,” can influence local fights.

With the state’s increasing Latino population, hard-line positions on illegal immigration in the spirit of former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo and a push for what his supporters might call amnesty may make for a clash in Colorado.

said, referencing Trump’s proposal for a path to citizenship for about 1.8 million young undocumented immigrants; $25 billion toward border security, including the border wall; ending the visa lottery; and limiting family-based immigration.

Wild cards Independents may be able to shake things up this November because of two ballot measures voters passed in 2016 allowing unaffiliated voters to participate in the primary process, which is how parties whittle down the candidates to select one Republican and one Democratic nominee to compete in the general election.

“Propositions 107 and 108 will make it more easy for independents to participate — that is the great unknown, how independents are gonna vote,” Sondermann said. Colorado is “in a test tube right now. This is the first election under the 107 and 108 rules, so there’s lots of speculation and conjecture and no knowledge.”

If someone like state Attorney General Cynthia Coffman can organize a strong campaign, Sondermann said, as a more moderate Republican and a woman, she could appeal to independents.

“More centrist Democrats like (Noel) Ginsberg and (Lt. Gov. Donna Lynne) are banking on independents more than Cary Kennedy or Polis is,” he added.

Personality may play a big role, too, Sondermann added, because governors tend to be more frequent faces in voters’ lives than, say, senators, who garner more party-line votes.

“A lot of this election ... is gonna be more dictated by emotion than it is by position papers,” Sondermann said. “Historically, Colorado has really favored governors that voters not only respect, but that they actually like.”

C ol

Even with Tancredo’s recent exit from the race for the GOP nomination for governor, “his supporters still have influence,” and on the Democratic side, to some extent, “it’s an outrage contest — who can be the most outraged,” Sondermann said. “But I do think Democrats (are) energized these days, so animated, so ginned up by Trump being in the White House.”

The question is how far the GOP nominee will have to move toward positions like Trump’s or Tancredo’s to court voters, according to Sondermann.

Criticisms of Trump will cast a shadow on candidates here to some extent, said John Straayer, a professor of political science at Colorado State University.

“How much, I don’t know, but it will, and should be, a concern for all Republican candidates,” Straayer said. “No doubt Democrats will seek to tie the Rs to (Trump) on matters including character and behavior, the environment, pot and surely more issues.”

Some county party chairs see it differently, though.

Trump and national politics won’t be a factor, said Anil Mathai, Adams County GOP chair.

“Colorado residents are focused on local issues,” Mathai said.

Mathai said immigration debates won’t affect the race here either.

“We have many people here legally of Mexican descent and/or from Spanish-speaking countries, and they believe in the rule of law,” Mathai said.

Immigration issues will have an impact on the election but may not change the results, Peterson said.

“It will be interesting to see the response to the president’s four-pillar position that was presented in the State of the Union address,” Peterson

CALM AFTER THE STORM

ia

George Brauchler, the 18th Judicial District Attorney in counties south of Denver, could have been a top GOP name, Sondermann said, but he pulled out too, opting to run for state attorney general.

“I’ve never seen a race quite so fluid, in which top-tier candidates literally drop like flies,” Sondermann said.

Polis is expected to be a finalist, but former Colorado state Treasurer Cary Kennedy could put up a fight, as well as Johnston, Lt. Gov. Donna Lynne and manufacturing businessman Noel Ginsburg, Sondermann said. On the Republican side, Stapleton won’t win “without a fair degree of sweat,” he added.

“Coffman seems to be well positioned,” but she hasn’t surrounded herself with a top-notch campaign team, Sondermann said. “So no one can quite figure out Coffman’s campaign at this time.”

his campaign, like Polis could, making him a contender, Sondermann said. Robinson is a “very credible businessman, but he may be too moderate in a very conservative party,” he added.

The GOP around the nation is currently a staunchly anti-establishment, President Donald Trump-driven group, Sondermann said.

“I think Democratic turnout in these primaries is going to be significantly higher than GOP turnout,” Sondermann said.

Six of the last 10 governors, dating back to 1951, have been Democrats.

The state’s next governor will replace Democrat John Hickenlooper, who has reached his two-term limit.

In 2016, Colorado voted for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over Trump by about five points, even as Trump won the country, Sonderman noted. He hasn’t seen anything that suggests it’s more favorable to Trump or those aligned with him than it was in 2016.

“Colorado has been becoming a light-blue state,” Sondermann said, “but 2018 could potentially be a deepblue year.”

“We need to get way more serious than this,” he said. “I’m not just talking about council and the administration. I’m talking about the 700,000 other people that live there.”

Councilman Jolon Clark was particularly excited about the new design standards, which encourage developers to build around the South Platte River. “This is a huge step,” he said of the affordability effort.

Councilman Wayne New warned that “displacement and gentrification is coming,” but was optimistic about the 38th and Blake plan.

Councilman Paul López said he would oppose the change because he wanted the bill to target lower income levels.

“We just keep giving and giving,” she said.

The council also voted on another bill for the 38th and Blake area that allows for higher development — not all the way to 12 and 16 floors, but instead three to eight floors — even if developers don’t take advantage of the affordability incentives.

Espinoza and López opposed the zoning change, with Espinoza saying it gave away too much to developers without asking anything in return.

That vote passed 10-2.

Endangered African wild dog puppies born at zoo Four puppies make debut at Benson Predator Ridge STAFF REPORT

Denver Zoo visitors have a chance to see four endangered African wild dog puppies born in November and released into the Benson Predator Ridge yard Feb. 16.

The puppies were in their private maternity den for three months, being cared for by their mother, Tilly, according to a news release from the zoo.

Keepers say the three male puppies, Nigel, Theodore Roosevelt, and Livingstone, and one female puppy, Cholula, are healthy, curious and playful.

Guests can see the puppies from noon to 2 p.m. every day in the Pahali Ya Mwana yard through February, and in various habitats throughout Benson Predator Ridge starting March 1, depending on the weather.

With a worldwide population estimated at 6,600, African wild dogs — also known as African painted dogs — are classified as endangered on the

International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species, according to the news release.

Habitat fragmentation, conflict with human activities and infectious disease are among the reasons for the endangerment.

Denver Zoo is a leader in the management of African wild dogs within the Association of Zoos & Aquariums and has successfully produced 32 puppies since 2001, said the release.

African wild dogs are native to the open woodlands and plains of subSaharan Africa. Full-grown adults weigh between 40 and 80 pounds and stand 30 inches tall at the shoulder.

Unique characteristics of these slim, long-legged dogs include distinct yellow, black, brown and white markings, large round ears that contribute to their sharp sense of hearing, and front paws that have only four toes, rather than the typical five found on other canine species.

VOICES Knock off the buffering against winter suffering

his is the winter of my discontented discontent.

You call this winter? How am I going to appreciate spring if winter is spring?

I need a few sunless days, and to be closed in by snowQUIET banks. I want the DESPERATION feeling of weather oppression to burnish my soul. My soul is not getting burnished.

When I lived in Michigan, we had four months of winter, four months of spring, four months of summer, and four Craig Marshall months of autumn.

One reason I love it Smith here is the unpredictability. Winter comingles with spring, and sometimes winter comingles with summer.

However, now and then, I want

winter to comingle with winter. I want to suffer a little, to slide around on the roads, and fall down on the driveway.

I want to see my breath. In the living room. I want Dr. Zhivago to make a house call.

You call this winter? Why I oughta.

I know I could go find it. Get in the car and throttle along on I-70 west for a couple of hours. No thanks. I want winter on my doorstep.

One blessed winter we had a blizzard. I got out something called a snow blower. I was clearing the driveway when I heard a beautiful sound.

I ran over a frozen newspaper.

It was chewed and spat.

A melody.

I see men and women and teenagers in stores in shorts and T-shirts. I saw a shirtless jogger.

I want to be snowed in with nothing left in the cupboard except saltines and bouillon cubes.

I want Punxsutawney Phil over for lunch.

I want to live like the pioneers, at least for a week or two.

Winter is being too polite. Winter is being discreet.

This morning winter even apologized to me: “I’m 10 degrees above. I know you want 10 below. I’m trying.”

How can I have cabin fever if I don’t have cabin fever?

I’ve looked at old columns, written when winters were winters, and they have a deeper substance. How can I write from a deeper place when it’s a day at the beach?

My sister lives in Michigan. She has been complaining about winter since November.

I said, “Send me some of that and I will send you some of this.”

Do me a small favor. I don’t want to hear, “Be careful what you wish for,” for two reasons.

First of all, it’s as tiresome as “We need the moisture,” and “Hearty man eat a toad.”

Secondly, I don’t want to be careful.

I want exactly what I am wishing for, the school closures, and the snowballs to my head.

Mittens and galoshes and scarves and turtlenecks on top of turtlenecks.

We built snow forts in Michigan.

Each team would have an hour to build a fort, and stockpile snowballs. It was divine.

One year, I made a snowman that looked exactly like Annette Funicello.

Mama mia.

One year, the power went out and we had to huddle together to stay warm.

And to stay alive.

This? This is all wrong.

How can I say I miss nice weather if it never goes away?

Writers summon something almost inexplicable from their inner being during periods of hardship.

It’s hard when there’s no hardship.

There are powerful traits that make difference makers different

W

hat is it about those people who make a difference in our lives?

Sometimes it is just the littlest thing that they have done or shown us, and other times it is something so profound that it has an incredible impact on how we choose to live WINNING life.

WORDS Thinking about the difference makers I have known personally and some of the difference makers I have observed or heard about through others, I have come up with a few thoughts as to what Michael Norton makes up a difference maker.

The first observation is that the difference maker is normally someone who is a giver.

When others talk about them and say something like, “You’re a giver,” they actually mean it. They are the

DENVER Since 1926

people who don’t “Give until it hurts,” they give from the heart and give until they can’t give any more. And they give freely of themselves and their time. They give or donate generously with their money if they can too.

They are simply givers. These are the people who truly would rather give than receive.

The next thing that is obvious about a difference maker is that they put others first. They live life with an attitude and spirit of servanthood.

They serve at home, in the workplace, where they worship, or in the community.

These difference makers give community service a whole new meaning and definition. When asked to help, they are the first to step forward or raise their hand to volunteer. When family members or friends need anything, these people are always the first name on the list.

And I think one of the strongest, if not the strongest, character trait of a difference maker is that they operate out of a basis of love. These difference

makers look for the good and expect the best.

Their abundance mentality when it comes to love is over the top. The word “hate” never enters their mind, and it never slips from their lips.

Kindness and happiness flow out of them even under stressful situations, especially when they are making a difference in a sad or even tragic situation.

One more characteristic of a difference maker is that they are intentional. They are intentional about everything they do, everything they want to be, and regarding everything that they have acquired or accomplished. There are no accidents, and “coincidence” is not a word that they believe in.

They help others in crisis because their radar is always up, and they are intentional about being where they can do the most good. These difference makers are purpose-driven and passionate about whatever they endeavor to do in life.

If we just review these character traits of a difference maker, I am abso-

lutely certain that each and every one of us can find at least one person in our life who has delivered for us and made a difference in our lives when we needed it the most.

Whether they were a little difference maker or a big difference maker, someone has come through for us as a giver, a servant, a source of love, or by being intentional.

So how about you?

Do you recognize the difference makers in your own life? Have you been a difference maker in the lives of others?

I would love to hear your difference maker story and maybe even some of your own thoughts as to what makes a good difference maker at gotonorton@ gmail.com.

Annual festival celebrates creations of women and girls

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Athena Project has an inspiring effect on the people and artists who get involved with the annual festival.

Just ask Dominique Flores, the events coordinator with Athena.

“I started as an actress, but now in this role, I help to feed and help the artists with whatever they need,” she said. “I’m now also a mentor in IF YOU GO our Girls Create Program, where WHAT: Athena I get to work Project festival with the next WHEN: March 3 - 31 generation of COST: Free to $50 women creINFORMATION: ators.” www.Athena SuCh, a DenProjectArts.org ver-based soul singer, who first performed as part of the festival in 2014, has also taken on new challenges since then.

“This year, I’m going to be a part of Cross Pollinations, where I’ll be paired with another artist I’ve never met before, and we’ll have 12 hours to present a new work of art,” she said. “You can’t really plan for it, and that’s really exciting.”

Since its creation in 2012, the Athena Project has not only focused on celebrating and making spaces for artistic women in the metro area, but it also has encouraged these performers to grow and tackle new challenges, styles and mediums.

“The original goal was to celebrate women artists, especially because women are so underrepresented in the arts world,” said Angela Astle, Athena Project’s founder and executive producer. “A lot of people don’t think it’s that way, because they see women performers a lot. But behind the scenes, it’s not that way. So we wanted to create a space where women can share their stories.”

This year’s festival runs from March 3-31 and features the artistic talents of women and girls in theatre, dance and music. Events include a weekend of music at Swallow Hill, the music production and concert venue organization; world dance, the Girls Create Celebration, Plays In Progress Series, panel discussions and workshops.

“This year, we wanted our programming to be more rounded out, and to offer more for audiences,” Astle said. “Our goal with each

This year’s Athena Project festival is more diverse and well-rounded than ever before. There will be dance, live music, and several theatrical events, all celebrating and created by women and young girls.

discipline is to fill a niche and expand what we can do in the discipline.”

The Cross Pollinations program is new this year. As SuCh explained, it will feature a musician paired with a playwright, dancer, visual artist or spoken word artist, and at the end of 12 hours each pair will present a live original work of art around the theme of Fierce Women Thriving.

Other highlights from the month include an open mic night for female singers and songwriters, a concert headlined by Megan Burtt, who was named the 2015 Best Singer/ Songwriter by the Westword Music Awards and has toured nationally and abroad with acts like Gregory

Alan Isakov, Mark Cohen, and Lissie, and emerging artist Nina de Freitas, a Brazilian-born musician and daughter of Academy Award nominee Carlinhos Brown.

And all ages get in on the creativity, with a showcase of plays created by middle school girls during the project’s Girls Create summer camp.

This gives these students a chance to see their work as a live performance with actors on stage and a director. On the same day, the girls who participated in the fashion design and visual arts camps will have their creations highlighted in a runway style fashion show and gallery show.

“It’s so amazing to see what these

young girls are able to come up with, and the stories they’re able to tell,” said Flores, who will work with these young creators. “We want these girls to know they can do anything.”

Flores and SuCh encourage people to attend events on multiple weekends, especially since there will be such a variety throughout the month.

Children and students are particularly encouraged to see what Athena has to offer.

“I didn’t go into music until I was an adult, even though I always knew music was my thing,” SuCh said.

“Who knows? If I had been exposed to more music and art earlier, I might’ve started younger.”

Girl Scout cookies on sale in metro area

Use the mobile app for updates on booth locations

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The wait for popular once-a-year sweet treats is over — Girl Scout cookies are available through March 11.

Residents looking for cookies can use the “Cookie Locator” online at www.girlscoutsofcolorado.org or on the Digital Cookie mobile app to find booth locations and receive email reminders. Created in 2017, the mobile app is a safe way for girls to reach their goals. To purchase cookies online, customers must get an invite to shop at a Girl Scout’s personal website.

Colorado Girl Scouts also sell cookies door-to-door and in front of some retail stores. Each purchase supports more than 22,000 girls in developing

five skills: goal-setting, decision-making, money management, people skills and business ethics, a news release from Girl Scouts of Colorado says.

“Girl Scout Cookie time is all about teaching girls lifelong business skills,” Stephanie Foote, president and CEO of the Colorado branch, said in the release. “The proceeds from these girl-led businesses go to fund all the adventures you get to have as a Girl Scout.”

The Girl Scouts Hometown Heroes/ Gift of Caring program gives customers the opportunity to purchase a package of cookies to donate to the Scouts’ heroes, which include nonprofits, food banks, military and law enforcement.

This year, S’mores and gluten-free Toffee-tastic cookies cost $5 per box.

Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Trefoils, Do-Si-Dos and Savannah Smiles are $4 each.

Robinson Dairy property set to be sold in April Site is mostly occupied now; buyer sees possible location of brewery or distillery

‘It’s kind of a complicated deal. There are people occupying all the buildings we are buying except for one little 2,700-squarefoot building, so our goal is to keep it simple.’

BY ADRIAN D. GARCIA AGARCIA@DENVERITE.COM

The Robinson Dairy property in Denver is set to change hands this spring, nearly five years after Robinson ended operations at the site in the Sun Valley neighborhood.

Central Development is under contract to buy the property, northwest of the South Platte River and Sixth Avenue. No immediate changes are in store, said Jeremy Records, principal at the Denver real estate firm.

“Honestly, we don’t have anything planned,” Records said. “It’s kind of a complicated deal. There are people occupying all the buildings we are buying except for one little 2,700-squarefoot building, so our goal is to keep it simple.”

“If they want to stay and we can work out a rate structure, that’s great,” he said. “If that doesn’t work

Jeremy Records, principal at Central Development real estate firm out, I guess our pie in the sky would be — we think it would be an absolutely perfect location for a brewery or distillery.”

The Robinson Dairy site includes a food processor in the dairy plant, a bulk storage group in the warehouse and a landscape group in the office building on site. A fourth building is vacant, according to Central Development.

The property is leased to Dean Foods for at least another year and a half. The Dallas-based dairy manufacturing company is subleasing the property to the other companies, according to Robinson Management.

Robinson Dairy stopped opera-

tions at the site in 2013 after nearly 130 years in business. The dairy’s parent company, Dean Foods, shifted production to a larger Meadow Gold Dairy facility in Englewood.

City records show 6.85 acres across eight parcels are registered to the Robinson Management office in Denver.

“We’re selling it all,” Richard Robinson said Tuesday. “We were there since 1975, my brother and myself. It’s bittersweet, but it’s time.”

The sale is set to close in April. The price was not disclosed.
