‘Blue wave’ continues in Arapahoe County Downtown

authority plan gets mixed vote

Democrats gained ground over the decade, flipped local seats this election

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the 2012 general election, large swaths of south Arapahoe County — mostly south of Quincy Avenue — voted for Republican Mitt Romney over then-President Barack Obama.

Long stretches of uninterrupted red showed on the county’s map of results.

Englewood, Sheridan and most of Aurora encompassed almost all of the non-rural Democratic wins.

The result was even redder in the 2014 U.S. Senate race, when Republican Cory Gardner bested Democrat Mark Udall, with Republican-won neighborhoods running farther north into Aurora.

Then, the county saw a dramatic reversal in the 2016 presidential race, with Hillary Clinton flipping much of west Centennial and parts of Littleton — and areas near where south Aurora meets east Centennial — in her unsuccessful race against President Donald Trump.

In 2018, Democrat Jared Polis made further gains, holding virtually the same neighborhoods as Clinton and picking more up in the east Centennial and farther-east Aurora areas.

The years of changes seemed to culminate this Election Day, when Democrats flipped three local seats: a county commissioner district that includes reliably red parts of the Littleton and Cherry Hills Village areas; a state House district in Littleton and west Centennial; and the state Senate district whose borders encompass Centennial and nearby areas. Democrats even came within a thin margin of flipping another county commissioner seat, keeping it so close it could end up in a recount.

“The brutal fact for Republicans is that we’ve got a problem with suburban voters,” said Dick Wadhams, political strategist and former chair

12 percentage points.

This year, he and his new Democratic opponent, Idris Keith, were neck-and-neck in a race that sat in automatic recount territory as of the evening of Nov. 6, three days after Election Day.

In a twist that may have unclear implications, Englewood voters approved the creation of a “downtown development authority,” a body that would work to economically boost Englewood’s CityCenter, its traditional Broadway downtown and its medical areas.

But they didn’t approve some of the tax and debt ballot questions that would fund it — and the last financing question appeared to win by just one vote. The city does not expect the vote totals to change, though.

The process of certifying vote totals was to be completed by or on Nov. 11.

Unofficial results on Election Night, Nov. 3, from the City of Englewood show that voters approved the creation of the downtown development entity — through ballot issue A — with 91 “yes” votes to 62 “no” votes.

One commissioner race nearly tied, another flips parties West Arapahoe County areas see a marked shift to Democratic control

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Four years ago, Republican Jeff Baker ran for the county commissioner seat in the east Centennial and Aurora area, and he bested his Democratic opponent by 12 percentage points.

This year, he and his new Democratic opponent, Idris Keith, were neck-and-neck in a race that sat in automatic recount territory as of the evening of Nov. 6, three days after Election Day. And four years ago, Republican Kathleen Conti — a former representative in the Colorado General Assembly — ran unopposed for the county commissioner seat that covers Littleton, Englewood and west Centennial.

This year, her Democratic challenger, Carrie Warren-Gully, overtook her by 11 percentage points.

The results made for a dramatic shift in an election that also saw state House District 38 and state Senate District 27 — areas that overlap those county commisioner districts — flip to Democratic control.

Commissioners make up the governing body of a county, somewhat similar to city councils.

Commissioner District 3 Keith pulled ahead in a narrow lead

RESULTS OF THE RACES FOR RTD DIRECTOR The following are unofficial results of the Nov. 3 election, updated by the Colorado Secretary of State’s office the afternoon of Nov. 5: District A Kate Williams: 52.2% Tim Nelson: 32.9% Kyle Bradell: 14.9% District D Bobby Dishell: 100% District E Paul Rosenthal: 100%

District M Marjorie Sloan: 100%

in early returns on Election Night, Nov. 3, with about 51.3% to Baker’s 48.7%. District 3 includes east Aurora, far east Centennial and roughly everything else in the county east of highway E-470.

By the afternoon of Nov. 5, Baker had pulled ahead, 50.1% to Keith’s 49.9%. Those were still the most recent returns posted as of Nov. 6. The difference was just 162 votes, a number that would trigger an automatic recount if the results had been final at that time.

By law, a recount would be held if the difference between their votes was less than or equal to one-half of 1% of the leader’s vote count, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. That threshold was about 203 votes as of Nov. 6 but would shift as more votes were counted.

As of the night of Nov. 4, Arapahoe County had at about 2,700 ballots left to be counted that could affect countylevel races, according to a spokesper-

son for the clerk and recorder’s office.

And more than 6,200 ballots in the county remained to be “cured,” meaning corrected by voters due to problems such as signature discrepancies.

Ballots from Colorado citizens living outside the United States and active military personnel absent from Colorado were expected to arrive over roughly the next week, and it’s unclear how many ballots that would be, according to the clerk’s office.

Baker, the incumbent commissioner, had played up his experience in the county government — he has more than 21 years as an employee of Arapahoe County working in two different departments. He’s a resident of Centennial.

On Nov. 5, Baker said if he pulls off the win, “transportation by far is the No. 1 project I’d work on.”

“I’m pretty involved in Gun Club (Road) and Quincy (Avenue), the (improvement of the) intersection there,”

Baker said, adding, “I’ll stay involved in that. I’m working with (Commissioner) Nancy Sharpe on the intersection of Belleview and I-25.”

In a Colorado Community Media questionnaire this fall, Baker said the county has “unsafe conditions on many streets and roadways.”

Keith, an Aurora resident, boasted about private-sector experience with “multimillion-dollar construction projects” and other matters involving commerce and trade in his Colorado Community Media questionnaire. He said he’s also worked with, and in, the public sector. Keith was waiting to comment on the results until they progressed further.

“Job creation and economic development top my agenda,” Keith said in a Colorado Community Media questionnaire this fall. “The cost of living has continued to increase, but wages have plateaued. Due to COVID, many people are unemployed or facing periods of unpaid furlough.”

Commissioner District 1 Warren-Gully, the Democratic challenger, amassed a large early lead against Conti, the Republican incumbent, on Election Night.

By Nov. 5, that had whittled down a couple points but was still a wide margin. The race stood at 54.1% for Warren-Gully to 42.7% for Conti. Libertarian candidate Joshua Lallement garnered 3.2%.

District 1 includes Littleton, Sheridan, Englewood, west Centennial and Cherry Hills Village.

Kellner leads, but race for DA still too close to call Democrat Amy Padden, Republican John Kellner vie to replace George Brauchler

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The election of a new 18th Judicial District Attorney was a race to watch before polls closed Nov. 3.

Then 7 p.m. on Election Day hit. Early returns rolled out. Periodic updates followed.

With each new batch of results, the race remained too close to call.

Democrat Amy Padden Kellner held a narrow lead until Nov. 5, when her opponent Republican John Kellner emerged with his first — but still narrow — lead.

By Nov. 6, Kellner maintained and slightly grew that lead to 50.14% Padden of the 569,553 ballots counted. Padden trailed at 49.86%. The margin was 1,551 votes in a race that had nearly 570,000 votes counted as of Nov. 6.

Thousands of ballots remained uncounted three days after Election Night. Military and overseas bal-

lots will trickle in until Nov. 12. And counties are still asking voters to cure ballots that could not immediately be processed, such as when a voter’s signature on a ballot envelope does not match the signature on file at the county clerk’s office.

A spokesman for Arapahoe County said as of Nov. 6, the county had asked 6,000 voters to cure ballots, although all other mail-in and in-person ballots were processed. There were 1,066 ballot envelopes still needing cured in Douglas County and 300 mail-in ballots were still being processed, a spokeswoman for Douglas County said.

Reached by phone on Nov. 5, Kellner said he was excited to see so many people interested in the criminal justice system. He was optimistic about his lead but waiting for every vote to be counted, he said, something he called crucial to ensuring voters’ voices are heard.

The race so far has “been a rollercoaster,” Kellner said. “I’m very fortunate to have some great supporters and familly to share this experience with.”

Padden on Nov. 6 said she would be keeping a close eye on how overseas, military and cured ballots would affect the final count.

“It’s still a very tight race,” Padden said. “There are still votes coming in and there are more votes coming in

Gardner’s future could follow different paths One strategist sees possible governor, while other observers see business, lobbying

BY JESSE PAUL AND JOHN FRANK THE COLORADO SUN

What’s next for Cory Gardner?

That was the big question on Colorado Republicans’ minds a day after Gardner was decisively knocked out of his U.S. Senate seat by Democrat John Hickenlooper on Nov. 3.

At only 46, Gardner still has plenty of time to regroup and continue his political career, which began in 2005 when he was appointed to a seat in the Colorado Legislature. He also could head to the private sector.

Those closest to Gardner say they haven’t discussed the Republican’s future with him and that he’s been focused on his Senate reelection bid.

Gardner made no mention of his future in his concession speech on Election Night.

“He’s not somebody who’s already got his next job lined up,” said Rachel George, a former congressional staffer for Gardner. “That’s not his personality.”

But that hasn’t stopped speculation by his biggest cheerleaders about the options he has before him, nor has it eliminated their hopes that he will continue to be a force in Colorado politics.

One possibility: He could run for Colorado governor in 2022.

Sean Duffy, a Republican strategist and former aide to Gov. Bill Owens, said Gardner has a bright future.

“I think he would be a darn good governor. He reminds me very much of Bill Owens in his demeanor and his approach,” Duffy said. “He’s a good debater — he can get fired up but he doesn’t get loud.”

Gov. Jared Polis’ first term is up in 2022 and there isn’t yet a clear Republican frontrunner to challenge the Democrat. Polling shows a majority of Coloradans approve of the governor’s job performance.

Anyone who decides to take on Polis will also face a significant financial hurdle because Polis is so wealthy and willing to spend his money on his political future. In 2018, the year Polis was elected governor, he spent $23 million on his race and handily defeated Republican Walker Stapleton.

Individual donors can give Colorado gubernatorial candidates only $1,250 each election cycle, making it difficult for

Hickenlooper

anyone to keep up with Polis’ self-funding.

“His money advantage is a major barrier to entry,” said Josh Penry, a Republican political consultant and friend of Gardner’s.

Penry says life as a senator has been grueling for Gardner. It has meant that he’s often away from his wife and

three children, who live in northeastern Colorado.

“It’s a lot,” Penry said. “He does not live a glamorous lifestyle.”

That said, Penry doubts someone as ambitious and driven as Gardner will be able to simply hang it up and walk away.

“People who are drawn to

this business don’t usually satiate their appetite right away,” he said. “My guess is we haven’t heard the last of him.”

Gardner will also likely face difficulty shaking his ties to President Donald Trump in Colorado, said Rick Ridder, a veteran Democratic pollster.

Gardner’s link to the president was in large part why he lost his bid for reelection.

Ridder expects those difficulties to last, though they “may not last at this level.”

“You can’t look at this data set and say: `Boy, a good centrist Republican can win,’” Ridder said, referencing his recent polling.

Other Democrats agree.

“Cory’s problem was the state has changed and he did not,” said Laura Chapin, a Democratic consultant and fierce Gardner critic. “The voting demographics of Colorado do not lead to future career plans for Cory Gardner.”

She thinks Gardner will likely become a lobbyist. That could be difficult for him, however, since he sponsored legislation in the Senate that would have banned members of Congress from ever becoming lobbyists.

Wolf reintroduction going ahead after narrow win Proposition 114 means apex predators will be established in Colorado despite controversy

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

Unleash the hounds.

Proposition 114 was decided Nov. 5 as votes from heavily populated Front Range counties pushed the wolf reintroduction plan to victory.

The measure, which tasks Colorado Parks and Wildlife with crafting a plan by the end of 2023 to reintroduce wolves into the Western Slope, was too close to call on Election Night and all day Nov. 4. The tightest statewide ballot issue in Colorado’s 2020 election, Proposition 114 was ahead by a narrow margin that veered close to triggering an automatic recount.

Opponents of the measure conceded the race Nov. 5. Even though there were more than 300,000 votes yet to be counted, a lead of more than 20,000 votes out of 2.97 million cast appeared insurmountable.

Coloradans Protecting Wildlife, the group opposing Proposition 114, said in a statement that it believed “forced wolf reintroduction” into Colorado is bad policy that should not have been decided by voters.

“All along, our opposition campaign was led by those who would be directly impacted by this measure, including real Coloradans, sportsmen, farmers

and ranchers, outdoor enthusiasts, and more,” said the statement from the group’s spokesman, Patrick Pratt.

“Despite a small group of wealthy, and often out-of-state, activists spending in excess of $2.1 million to pass this measure, our campaign, with less than $800,000 was able to illustrate why forced wolf introduction is wrong for Colorado.”

Few issues raise hackles in the West more than wolves. Farmers, ranchers and hunters fear the return of wolves could damage rural economies that are based on livestock and hunting. Advocates who have pushed to introduce and protect wolves in Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico and Arizona argue that Colorado is a final step in a 40-year effort to return wolf populations that were hunted into extinction in the 1920s.

Colorado is the first state to reintroduce wolves at the direction of voters rather than federal wildlife biologists working under the Endangered Species Act. Recently, Interior Secretary David Bernhardt announced that the gray wolf population in the U.S. was recovered and no longer needed protection under the Endangered Specials Act, which has protected the canines since 1978. The federal delisting transfers management of wolves to states. A delisting of wolves in the Northern Rockies in 2008 legalized hunting and trapping of the predators. Colorado already has a law protecting wolves as a “species of concern,” making it illegal to kill the animals.

Supporters of Proposition 114 said the delisting emphasizes the need for

Incumbents take U.S. House races

DeGette

additional protection of wolves that comes with reintroduction. Opponents argued the federal delisting proved that wolf populations are healthy enough in the Northern Rockies to migrate south and establish packs in Colorado. Earlier this year, Colorado wildlife biologists confirmed the presence of a wolf pack in the northwestern portion of the state.

The Colorado Wildlife Commission in 2016 rejected a proposal to reintroduce wolves, pointing to potential threats to the state’s big game population and livestock industry. More than three dozen rural counties in Colorado opposed Proposition 114. But

voters in the state’s six most populated counties along the Front Range anchored the 13 counties that supported Proposition 114, illustrating a divide over wolves that fell largely along urban-rural lines.

Opponents of the measure hope the narrow margin factors into policy discussions as Colorado Parks and Wildlife gathers public input and assembles a plan for reintroduction.

That plan, per the ballot language, requires statewide hearings and includes creating a system to reimburse ranchers who lose livestock to wolves.

Reverse Mortgage: The Lifesaving Help You’ve Been Looking For

by Matt Witt

I

s your mortgage payment “strangling” you? Are you worried about which bills to pay on your fixed income? Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the lifesaving help you have been seeking.

With a government-insured reverse mortgage, you can pay off your current mortgage, eliminate your monthly mortgage payment* and get the budget breathing-room you need. Like so many seniors right here in Colorado have discovered, not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell. But now a reverse mortgage will allow you to access the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get cash and make life a little easier.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity.

Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not.

We all want to live a long, healthy, independent life. With a reverse mortgage, aging-in-place is possible!

Call me today at 720-458-4034 to see if a reverse mortgage is right for you.

Voters approve tax hike for LPS Ballot Issue 4C passes solidly; will stave off ‘draconian’ cuts

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Public Schools will stave off what district officials called catastrophic cuts after voters solidly approved Ballot Issue 4C, which raises property taxes to make up for eroding state support exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The measure passed with 57.6% support in unofficial results as of Nov. 6, making it the latest in a long series of tax measures supporting the district passed by voters. Issue 4C approves a mill levy override that aims to raise $12 million in its first year, in efforts to offset slashed state funding and increased expenses related to the pandemic.

Had the measure failed, the cuts likely would have been wide-ranging, from layoffs to deep cuts to bus transportation, athletics and programs like Options High School.

Superintendent Brian Ewert said the measure passing means stability in an uncertain time.

“Without this, we would have been changing the face of the district,” Ewert said. “The community stepped up for us, which is pretty amazing

considering we’re in an economic downturn as well as a pandemic.”

The district, which serves about 15,000 students, is facing reduced state funding of about $18.5 million in the 2020Ewert 21 school year, part of ongoing statewide cuts stretching back to the Great Recession called the “negative factor” — a policy of withholding funds otherwise due to schools under the terms of Amendment 23.

The $18.5 million shortfall is more than double the “negative factor” imposed on Littleton in the 2019-20 school year, largely as fallout from $3.3 billion in statewide cuts approved by the state Legislature in May as coronavirus wreaked havoc on state tax revenue collection.

The gap between the state cuts and the federal funds this year will be exacerbated by a further $4.2 million in cuts already approved by the LPS school board last fall, caused by rising costs and stagnant state funding, spurring the district to eliminate 17 positions.

Though the district received a onetime cash infusion of more than $6 million from the federal CARES Act, the district is facing a wide range of rising costs, including the cost of running the TOPS program, a fully-online SEE LPS, P22

DOWNTOWN FROM PAGE 1

Only property owners, tenants and residents within the proposed “downtown” district were able to vote on the questions. That includes business owners in the district.

The district that the downtown authority would work to revitalize includes the following areas: • The Englewood CityCenter shopping development, roughly from South Santa Fe Drive to South Elati Street; • The South Broadway area between Elati and Sherman streets; • And the city’s medical stretch, between Sherman and Lafayette streets.

The district’s north-south length varies, but it stretches as far as Kenyon Avenue in the southwest and Eastman Avenue on the north.

City officials hope the development authority will help fill vacant storefronts along the downtown Broadway corridor; pursue a hotel for business visitors, hospital patrons and community members in CityCenter; and add residential density to underused sites near Englewood’s light rail station.

They also hope it will push for attainable housing and attract office employers to bring more daytime workers downtown to support local merchants and restaurants.

A mixed bag Hypothetically, the authority would have pursued those goals through a few tools. One is a tax that would have been added to property tax currently assessed on properties in the new “downtown” district of the city.

That tax measure — ballot issue D — failed with 92 “no” votes to 67 “yes” votes.

The authority is expected to begin operations in January 2021. The first year’s tax increase, had it been approved, could not have exceeded 2 mills. The tax could ultimately have increased to up to 5 mills.

What that meant is that in 2021, a 900-square foot retail shop that paid about $3,000 in 2020 property tax would have paid an additional $81.20 in 2021, according to Englewood’s website. A restaurant of 5,700 square feet that paid about $20,780 in property tax would have paid an additional $570.

An apartment building of 47 units and

November 12, 2020N about 30,500 square feet, which paid about $24,500 in property tax, would have paid another $14 per unit.

Another part of the equation — increasing the city’s debt with a maximum repayment cost of $216.5 million — was defeated with 83 “no” votes to 74 “yes” votes. That’s ballot issue C. The last tool, tax-increment financing, aims to help finance public improvements within the development authority’s boundary.

Tax-increment financing is based on the idea that the efforts of the downtown authority to “reinvest in downtown Englewood will create incremental increases in both sales (tax revenue) and property (tax revenue) beyond what would otherwise occur without” a development authority, city officials said in a statement. Basically, the city expects the efforts to naturally result in more revenue due to more economic activity.

The corresponding ballot issue B authorizes the development authority’s collection of tax-increment financing, according to Englewood’s website. It was approved by just one vote — 77 in favor to 76 against.

It’s unclear how much revenue the development authority could expect to receive through tax-increment financing.

Without the $250,000 in tax revenue in the first fiscal year that would have been approved with the passage of issue D and the $80 million in funding via debt that issue C would have OK’d, city officials still expect the development authority to be able to carry out its goals, but the timeline is unclear.

Passage of issue D would have provided funding for operating the development authority, but it would not have provided the necessary revenue to make large-scale enhancements in the downtown area, according to the city’s statement.

The approval of issue B authorizes the development authority to receive and spend property and sales tax-increment revenues, subject to city council approval, according to the statement.

That tax-increment financing “has always been contemplated as the primary source of revenue for carrying out the goals of the (Englewood) Downtown Plan,” the statement said.

Asked how much money per year the authority expects to receive via taxincrement financing, the city said its downtown-planning team was to work on updated financial projections “as

the basis of anticipated post-election recommendations to (Englewood) City Council.” That appeared to signal that the city would need to make moves to enable the downtown authority to be effective.

At the time of its choosing, the city council could consider appointment of board members to oversee the development authority, the statement said.

Because tax-increment financing generally works by creating revenue based on economic momentum that would be spurred by the authority’s moves to reinvest in downtown Englewood, it’s unclear when that cycle of investment and revenue gains would put visible changes in motion downtown.

Still, the statement said: “If city council chooses to appoint the DDA board and establish a base year and ongoing tax increment revenue collections, the DDA would have funds to make improvements and investments.”

Asked if the city plans to ask voters to approve ballot issues C and D — or essentially similar measures — in November 2021, officials responded that “that will be a decision of the city council.”

Read the full look at the development authority plan on the Englewood Herald’s website at tinyurl.com/EnglewoodDowntownPlan.

Voters reject lodging tax increase A citywide ballot measure — to increase the tax on short-term rentals and hotel and motel stays shorter than 30 days, according to the city — was roundly defeated, with 65.5% against and 35.5% in favor as of the afternoon of Nov. 5.

The measure would have increased Englewood’s lodging tax from 2% to 5%. At the Lucky U Motel on Broadway, a room for a night without tax costs about $70 and a $10 deposit, a staff member said on Oct. 9 by phone. A 3% tax increase at that motel would have totaled about $2 per night. That motel offers a weekly rate of $397 including Englewood’s current tax, according to the staff member. The Holiday and Wright motels in Englewood offer similar rates.

The tax also applies to short-term rentals such as those facilitated through Airbnb and similar websites unless the rental period is for 30 days or more, according to Chris Harguth, a spokesman for the city.

The text of the ballot question says Englewood’s tax revenue would have

increased by up to $100,000 in the following fiscal year if it had passed.

Englewood’s spending in 2019 totaled $108 million, according to the Arapahoe County analysis of this year’s ballot proposals.

Internet-service question sees win A second citywide ballot question effectively asked voters to allow Englewood to provide Wi-Fi service in city facilities, according to the city.

That question won approval by a landslide of roughly 79.1% in favor to 20.9% against, as of Nov. 5.

In 2005, the state Legislature passed Senate Bill 05-152, which required a vote of municipal residents if a city wanted to become a broadband service provider.

With the OK from voters, municipalities can provide broadband service directly or through a partnership with a private vendor, according to a fact sheet linked on Englewood’s webpage about this year’s ballot question.

More than 100 municipalities had given their city or town approval to provide broadband service as of fall 2019, according to that fact sheet.

This ballot question asks Englewood voters to authorize — but not require — the city to provide high-speed internet service, telecommunication services or cable television services as defined by Colorado law. The city could then provide service to residents, businesses, schools, libraries, nonprofit entities and other users, according to the city’s website.

Although Englewood’s website says, “Passage of this measure would allow the city to explore a variety of options to make broadband service available to residents, students, visitors, nonprofit organizations, schools and businesses,” Englewood doesn’t intend to take that step — at least not now.

Englewood submitted the ballot question to its voters to allow it to provide Wi-Fi service in city facilities, Harguth said.

Englewood’s information technology staff is working on a multiyear project to install fiber-optic cable from the Englewood Civic Center to other city buildings, Harguth said.

Approval of the Englewood ballot question does not prevent any private business, including existing broadband providers, from initiating or continuing to provide broadband or other internet services, according to the city’s website.

Colorado, thinks Gardner could end up in Trump’s cabinet if the president is reelected to another term. If Trump loses, Brophy thinks Gardner has options.

“He’s a rare talent,” Brophy said.

“I feel confident that he still has a future in politics.”

If Gardner doesn’t want to stay in politics, Duffy, the GOP consultant, says there’s a path for him, too.

“He could run a company. He would be a very good CEO. He’s whip-smart, and he’s as nice as he is smart,” Duffy said.

“People will call. He’s well liked.”

Sen. Cory Gardner made a stop in Castle Rock on Election Day. When the results came out that night, Gardner found out that he had lost his seat to Democrat John Hickenlooper.

policy development, and to defend ranchers and “prepare the West Slope for the realities of introducing a new apex predator.”

Supporters of Proposition 114 say the margin doesn’t matter and welcome their opponents to the next step.

“The bottom line is that Proposition 114 is not based on how close the vote was. It’s the law. We need to all get our heads around that fact and lean into the work ahead, which is fashioning a future for wolves in Colorado that we can coexist with,” said Rob Edward with the Rocky Mountain Wolf Action Fund. “We need to go forward as neighbors and adversaries and

friends and create a future for wolves.”

Edward dismissed the notion that Proposition 114 passed solely on the back of Front Range and urban residents. He points to San Miguel, La Plata, San Juan, Summit and Pitkin counties, where a majority of voters approved the measure.

“We would not be having this conversation today had it not been for people on the Western Slope voting for wolves,” he said.

taining or increasing “our current level of service to the citizens by protecting our county tax revenues from the state stealing it through unfunded mandates,” as stated in her response in a Colorado Community Media questionnaire.

“If you had asked me (my top priority) pre-pandemic when I first started on the campaign, I would definitely say it would be infrastructure.

than the margin right now, so it is critically important that everybody’s vote gets counted.”

Like Kellner, Padden said she was grateful for the amount of interest in the race.

“People were paying attention to this race in a way that people had not paid attention to district attorney races in the past,” she said.

Padden believes high-profile tragedies like the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor galvanized a new interest in systemic racism that likely affected interest in the local district attorney election as well.

“People were paying more attention to the inequities that we have in our criminal justice system as well as the power that a district attorney has,” she said.

Padden and Kellner — two prosecutors with lengthy resumes in the criminal justice system — are squaring off to replace term-limited 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler. The Republican district attorney has held the post for eight years and ran unopposed in 2016.

The district comprises Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties and is Colorado’s most populous. The 2020 winner will assume office in January.

At the county level, Kellner held strong leads in three of the district’s counties: Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln. Meanwhile, Padden had garnered a high percentage of votes in Arapahoe county.

Kellner, of Greenwood Village, currently serves as chief deputy district attorney in the 18th, supervising the district’s prosecutions in Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. Brauchler brought Kellner in to help found the district’s cold case unit, an area Kellner has specialized in.

Padden, of Aurora, began her career in private practice before moving on to work as a prosecutor for the Colorado Attorney General’s Office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Today, she works as a prosecutor in the 11th Judicial District. She promised a reform-minded approach to the job, aiming to bring down recidivism rates and boost diversion programs.

The winner of this election will be the last district attorney to lead the 18th Judicial District as it operates today, after the state Legislature this year passed a bill to split up the fast-growing district into two after this district attorney’s term.

VOICES

Looking down at someone to be looked up to

L

ooking down from the second level inside the Aurora Mall 35 years ago, I saw an older man, mid-60s, walking alone and unnoticed.

He wasn’t hurrying but showed no signs of impairment.

He was wearing a pale yellow QUIET button-up shirt DESPERATION and slacks, not jeans.

The B-17 was a four-engine, heavy bomber developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps.

During World War II, the Craig Marshall “Flying ForSmith tress” was used primarily in the daylight bombing campaign that focused on German industrial and military targets.

Routing the planes to and from the targets was extremely dangerous. They were large and relatively slow targets for Ger-

I

man planes and ground-based, anti-aircraft fire, including flak.

As he walked, the man looked all around and eventually up. He spotted me, waved, and I waved back.

The Air Force Association stated, “More than 50,000 Airmen lost their lives in the four years of WWII and the majority of those losses were on bomber missions over Nazi Germany in B-17s and B-24s. The average age of the crew of a B-17 was less than 25, with four officers and six enlisted Airmen manning the aircraft. Their chance of survival was less than 50 percent.”

At some point, the military noticed that morale was suffering because of the loss of men and aircraft, so they came up with a goal for flyers to aim for: complete 25 missions and you go home.

William Wyler, who directed two of my favorite films (“The Best Years of Our Lives” in 1946 and “Roman Holiday” in 1953) volunteered to serve as a major in the United States Army Air

Corps.

Wyler went to England and directed two documentaries, one after noticing the painting of a shapely woman on the nose of a B-17 parked on the tarmac.

To the left of the painting were the words “Memphis Belle.”

Wyler directed “The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress” in 1944.

In 1990, a war film was released titled “Memphis Belle” that fictionalized the 25th mission of the plane Wyler had chosen for his documentary.

For some World War II B-17 flyers, the 25 mission goal came too late. Those who survived flew as many as 30.

The man below stopped walking and when I signaled I’d be down he took a seat on a nearby bench.

“The Best Years of Our Lives” stars Fredric March, Dana Andrews, and a non-professional actor named Harold Russell, a World War II veteran who lost both hands while teaching demolition work as an instructor at a

base in North Carolina.

The aerial shots of Boone City, the city where the servicemen return, were filmed over Cincinnati.

One of the film’s most compelling scenes takes place in an “aircraft boneyard” when Captain Fred Derry (Dana Andrews) walks among hundreds of retired B-17 carcasses. It was filmed at the Ontario Army Airfield in Ontario, California.

Years before I encountered the man at the mall, I discovered he had been one of the flyers who completed thirty missions and was the captain and pilot of a B-17.

I often think about that day when I saw him walking by himself, unnoticed.

When we met at the bench, he stood, and I gave my father a big hug.

We can handle whatever happens next

n the words of Forrest Gump: “My mom always said that life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”

The one thing that separates a good movie or mystery from a great movie or mystery is the element of WINNING suspense and surprise. As WORDS each story plays out, what will happen next will keep us on the edge of our seats, perhaps shock or scare us, make us laugh, and hopefully astonish us Michael Norton in a good way.

It’s when what happens next is completely expected that leaves us feeling a bit disappointed. I find that most of us who really enjoy mysteries and thrillers look forward to the unexpected outcome, and the twists and turns of a book, television series, movie, game or competition of any kind. It’s when we already can predict or

even see what happens next that we lose interest.

If 2020 has taught us anything, it is to expect the unexpected.

And although there are many of us who really enjoy a great mystery, there are many more of us who need to know the plot, the players, the situation and an ending that they had already figured out, or probably at least anticipated. Previously, we might have known the camp that we fell into; those who love a good mystery or those who really need to know what’s happening next.

However, this year has given us all a reason to try and get ahead of what happens next, wanting to know what we should expect and when we should expect it. We find ourselves asking things like how bad it will be, or how fast will it happen. In a book, movie, or game, it’s OK to leave us on the edge of our seat, but in real life, especially during this year that we have just lived through together, we want the answers before we take our seat or before the game starts.

Curiosity got the better of me,

so I began to ask why. Why do we need to know what happens next? I asked friends and family members. I consulted business advisers and mentors of mine. And I asked some of you who read this column regularly.

When thinking about the “why” of knowing what happens next, most people used words like fear, anxiety, worry, doubt, disruption and insecurity. The reality is that many of us are just uncomfortable with the unknown.

There was a saying that was shared with me a long time ago, and I shared it with those I spoke to, so I will share it with you too, “Panic is our worst enemy, nothing is ever as bad as it seems, all will be well.” This usually led to a dialogue where we could talk about replacing words like fear, worry and doubt of the unknown with the excitement of the unknown. Or thinking about disruption as disruption of the status quo and maybe changing things that needed change. And when it came to insecurity, the conversation shifted from what we are insecure about to what we can find security in.

BLUE WAVE FROM PAGE 1

And four years ago, Republican Kathleen Conti — a former representative in the Colorado General Assembly — ran unopposed for the county commissioner seat that covers Littleton, Englewood and Cherry Hills Village.

This year, her Democratic challenger, Carrie Warren-Gully, overtook her by 11 percentage points.

“It’s clear that voters who didn’t like Trump decided that Republican candidates down-ballot were no different than Trump,” Wadhams said.

“And we saw the same thing happen in 2018 — the (well) respected sheriff in Arapahoe County and Matt Crane went down.”

That’s a reference to Sheriff David Walcher and the county’s former clerk and recorder, who were swept out in what became known as Colorado’s “blue wave.”

This year, a party switch in state House District 38 came by way of Democrat David Ortiz beating incumbent state Rep. Richard Champion by 11 percentage points. The closely watched race for state Senate District 27 saw Democrat Chris Kolker best Republican Suzanne Staiert by almost the same margin: nearly 11 percentage points. That’s according to results as of Nov. 6.

Not just a Trump rebuff Wadhams noted that it’s likely not just a referendum on President Trump that’s driving the trend toward Democrats. And it’s not likely a case of registered Republicans and independents switching party loyalty to Democrats either, Wadhams said.

“I really don’t see that,” Wadhams said. “I think what’s interesting is the Republican base is still pretty solid” in terms of voter turnout. Wadhams added: “I think there’s an inclination of the new arrivals (in the area) to register as unaffiliated. It doesn’t mean they’re conservative.”

A large number of Colorado voters — somewhere around 40% — are unaffiliated, meaning they aren’t registered to either major party, Wadhams highlighted.

A key part of the tilt toward Democrats, Wadhams said, is recent demographic changes in populationbooming Colorado.

Newcomers are “generally young and more liberal in their attitudes, and that is definitely affecting the Denver metro area, definitely making Denver and Boulder more (blue) than they ever were,” Wadhams said.

“It’s affecting Jeffco and Arapahoe but even Douglas and El Paso (counties),” which are typically more conservative than their neighbors to the north, Wadhams continued. “The percentages for president and senator were much lower than they should have been. Those two counties underperformed what they normally do for Republican candidates.”

Ground game, COVID may be factors While changes in the makeup of Colorado — and Arapahoe County — have been at work for years, the head of the county’s Democratic Party points to its “boots on the ground” and a shift in strategy.

“About a year ago, we decided we were going to focus on county (commissioners),” said Kristin Mallory, the county Democrats’ chair. She added: “We felt really good about Carrie Warren-Gully because she was on the Littleton school board.”

Mallory felt confident Democrats could flip that seat — District 1, home

What’s in a district?

to incumbent Conti — partly because “all our candidates worked together,” she said.

That area, which overlaps state House District 38, “is one of our most organized House districts,” Mallory said. “Even on their Zoom meetings, they’ll have 50 to 100 people join. There were a lot of boots on the ground, knocking on doors … thousands of phone calls. Mailings to apartment complexes. They put it all on the table.

That’s just on the party side, not what the campaigns do themselves.”

Commissioner District 3, the close Baker-Keith race, was “our stretch goal,” as Mallory calls it.

“That is a tougher, more moderate area with a very high population of unaffiliated voters, and they take a lot of courting,” Mallory said.

Regardless of the eventual outcome, her party is “very proud of the progress,” she added. “It’s just a matter of time. That area is changing. More and more working-class people live in Aurora.”

She thinks the COVID-19 pandemic played a part in the election results, too, in that it “really opened people’s eyes to the power that the county commissioners have, with Tri-County Health” and how consequential a local health department’s actions can be, Mallory said. The health department’s leaders, or board members, are appointed by county commissioners.

A number of Republicans came into the Democrats’ county office this year asking for a sign supporting presidential candidate Joe Biden or asking to get involved in helping him, Mallory said.

“It’s not a large percentage, but … in roughly four years, it’s the most Republican enthusiasm I’ve seen,” Mallory added. She thinks Republicans were moved to volunteer for Biden because of issues of “decency” and being turned off by the president’s behavior Some — not necessarily from any one party — came in because they lost their job amid the coronavirus’ economic effects and they “thought the national response to pandemic was lacking,” Mallory said.

Path forward Backlash could be coming down the pike for Democrats, though, a possibility Wadhams is relying on. He thinks Biden could end up “immensely unpopular” in 2022.

“I do have some optimism about that because now that Biden has (potentially) won the presidency, I think he’ll be a miserable failure — I don’t think he’s mentally or physically ready for the job,” Wadhams said. “Throw in the state Legislature, which won’t be able to control itself, fiscally and every way. They are going to pursue a

far-left agenda. There’s no such thing as a Democratic moderate in the state Legislature.”

Presidents, historically, experience midterm elections that are challenging for their party, and “I think Democrats will particularly have trouble under Biden” in 2022, Wadhams said.

He also sees Democrats as “intent on killing the oil-and-gas industry,” a bent that he argues could affect the state’s entire economy and render Colorado less attractive to people in other states

who may consider moving here.

Baker, the incumbent commissioner running against Keith, nodded to Arapahoe County’s demographics changing as people arrive in Colorado from “all over the country.” He remembered Arapahoe “was a red county for many years.”

“I think the demographics are changing — I think it sends a message to politicians to be moderate. That’s how I take it,” Baker said. “They don’t want their representatives to be far right or far left. Middle ground is where people want their politicians to be.”

The path forward has to include reaching out to younger voters, Baker said.

“The cliché is when you go to a Republican meeting, it’s a bunch of old white guys. And that isn’t completely true, but they’re in the majority,” Baker said. “We’ve got to reach out to young people. You can have your personal views on social issues.”

LGBTQ issues are “not something we’re going to win votes on, and it shouldn’t be something we even bring up as an issue,” he continued.

“Social issues need to be put behind us. We need to embrace the people who are enthusiastic about their conservative values. And it’s got to be fiscal conservatism,” Baker said. “It’s got to be transparency of the government and effective and efficient use of taxpayer dollars.”

Churches differ on pandemic response Arvada United Methodist Church held drive-in church services in its parking lot during warmer months but will now switch to full virtual as cool weather sets in during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pastors say they rely on local, state guidance as disease drags on

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

s Colorado’s third wave of COVID-19 grips the state, churches in the Denver metro area are preparing to take additional precautions, although they differ in their plans to do business in the weeks ahead, from full virtual services to limited in-person gatherings.

Dr. Amy Gearhart, lead pastor at Arvada United Methodist Church, said their church is paying close attention to the guidance of local and state health agencies. The church has not held in-person services since the pandemic reached Colorado.

“We’re a congregation that’s in total support and confidence in the scientific research and data,” she said.

The closest that Arvada United Methodist Church came to holding in-person gatherings during COVID-19 was when it hosted drive-in services in the parking lot during the warmer fall months. With winter approaching, the church is switching back to full virtual as of Nov. 8.

Gearhart said there have been advantages to virtual sermons. Each Sunday they post a pre-produced sermon to YouTube. The church garners roughly 100 more views than what inperson attendance might have been before the pandemic, she said.

It also offers a solution for at-risk congregation members, she said.

Feldmeir also said virtual services was about half of pre-pandemic have expanded the church’s reach. levels.

tendance before COVID-19 hit, Thulson said, and they estimate a dozen families tune in by livestream. He is not sure at what point the church would switch to full virtual services, if a shutdown is not ordered by local or state agencies, with which he vowed they would comply.

“That’s a great question,” he said.

The pandemic has placed numerous barriers on churches, he said, and there are mixed reactions to steps the church takes. Some people believe the church should not meet at all while others wish services could continue as normal.

“There are different opinions on all this. Not outright division but it’s kind of a continuum,” he said.

Gearhart said her congregation has been supportive of staying virtual and social distancing, but she knows pastors who have weathered pushback against following COVID-19 precautions.

Moving forward, the pastors said they’ll look to health agency guidance for navigating the pandemic in coming weeks, and they’ll try to keep up morale among community members.

“I think probably like everybody in our community and around the world, there is tremendous COVID fatigue and Zoom fatigue and I think that’s only exacerbated by some of the social division, political division,” Feldmeir said. “But I think there’s also a tremendous sense of a collective sense of we’re going to get through this.”

Kahlo, Rivera, Mexican Modernists at DAM Timed tickets are required to tour exhibit of 150 works

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Now open at the Denver Art Museum: “Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Mexican Modernism from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection.” It runs through Jan. 24 and is sure to be a draw for area art lovers. Timed tickets are required so one will want to plan ahead, since we are dealing with limits on how many can attend at any one time ...

When the Mexican Revolution ended in 1920, change was afoot in every aspect of that country’s life, including in its arts. Rivera’s huge murals were soon famous and in demand in the U.S. and Europe — examples are tied into this large (150 works) exhibit on walls as well as with a few paintings, such as the well-recognized “Calla Lily Vendor.”

Mexico City was the center of activity and was home to Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and a circle of creatives who combined Mexican folk art with techniques adapted from European arts — also in flux at that time. Rivera, 30 years older than Kahlo, was established as an influential painter.

Also there: Jacques and Natasha Gelman, who collected works by the local artists, who were their friends.

Gelman was a partner at Posa films and connected with the local art community, where he and his wife began to collect works by their friends. This exhibit includes 150 works by internationally recognized artists, most from the Gelman collection, with additional works from the collection of Denverbased John and Sandy Fox and from the museum’s collection.

Mexican Modernism combined social realism and fantastic visions that were unique to Mexican history and literature. Both Kahlo and Rivera painted portraits of Natasha Gelman, their patron and good friend.

Frida Kahlo had suffered from polio

IF YOU GO “Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Mexican Modernism” is exhibited at the Denver Art Museum, 100 W. 14th Ave. Parkway, Denver through Jan. 24, 2021. Adult member tickets start at $20, youth tickets cost $5.

Tickets sold in two blocks; through Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 to Jan. 24. The latter group goes on sale Nov. 20 to members; Nov. 23 to the public: denverartmuseum.org, 720-9130130. Tickets are timed entry and should be purchased in advance. when she was a child, then was badly injured as a teen in a bus accident that left her back permanently painful.

She said: “I paint myself because I am so often alone and I am the subject I know best.”

She was still a student when she met the much older Rivera. They fell in love, married, divorced and remarried.

Kahlo’s family home, the blue house that is now a museum, was their home.

Seven of her distinctive self-portraits are included plus a number of other drawings and paintings.

Pets, local flora, foods and surroundings fill the images, shedding some light on a distinctive lifestyle that makes a viewer invent stories to accompany the art. Kahlo’s “Self Portrait With Monkeys” is especially appealing ... and then there is that wee Itzcuentli dog ... and brilliant parrots.

Sound as well as color.

“Diego on My Mind,” widely used in publicity for this exhibit, is fascinating. She wears a traditional lacy headdress — Tejuana style — and on her forehead is an image of Rivera. The trademark heavy eyebrows almost resemble bird wings as they meet above her nose and she looks straight into a viewer’s eyes.

Other artists included in this exhibit: Maria Izquierdo, Carlos Merida, Lola Alvarez Bravo, Gunther Gerzso.

Photographs of these friends and others are a nice addition to the exhibit, as is a grouping of Kahlo’s colorful garments.

Allow time to walk through and then return to images that capture the imagination especially well.

Gelato shop aims for sweet success Family-run business brings a taste of Italy to Highlands Ranch

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Barsness family has always loved a cup of gelato.

From their trips to Italy to vacations in the Cayman Islands, the four-member family frequently finds themselves at the counter of a shop selling the creamy, Italian treat. That’s why a few years ago, the Douglas County family began working on a plan to open their own gelato shop in the community.

Now, after months of work and a grand opening delayed by COVID-19, the family has finally started serving at their Gelato & Co franchise in Highlands Ranch.

“People just flocked in,” owner Dean Barsness said. “We were blown away.”

The gelato shop, which also serves handmade pastries and coffee, officially opened its doors in the Central Park area of Highlands Ranch — near Lucent Boulevard and Plaza Drive — on Oct. 12.

The shop, focusing on fresh, artisanal desserts, also has locations in Puerto Rico, Florida, Texas, Panama, Aruba and the Cayman Islands.

Dean Barsness, 58, and his family moved to Douglas County about three years ago from Chicago, where Barsness owned an insurance company.

After selling his company, he considered retiring.

The new dessert shop in Highlands Ranch, Gelato & Co, offers a variety of homemade flavors of gelato, including coffee, tiramisu, strawberry and salted caramel.

IF YOU GO The Barsness family has lived in unincorporated Douglas County near Roxborough Park for about three years. Pictured from left to right are Sarah, Dean, Susan and Jonathan.

“I still wanted to do something but didn’t know what that was,” Barsness said. “But I wanted to do something very different from the insurance business.”

The Barsness family first fell in love with gelato during their frequent trips to Italy, where Dean’s wife Susan’s father is from. Gelato has similar ingredients to ice cream but uses different ratios, such as more milk, less cream and less fat. It’s also denser and served at a warmer temperature than ice cream.

“We would come home and miss that

daily gelato,” Dean said.

Then, while visiting the Cayman Islands, the Barsness family — including Dean and Susan’s son Jonathan, 26, and daughter, Sarah, 23 — tried a Gelato & Co shop for the first time.

“We went there almost every day,” Dean said, “It was such a happy place all the time.”

After moving to unincorporated Douglas County near Roxborough Park, the family began toying with the idea of opening their own Gelato & Co. Through working with the company’s owners and finding a location for the

shop, they were able to move forward with the franchise.

In late February, they began preparing their store with a mid-June opening date in mind. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit Italy and then the United States, the process became much more complicated. Almost everything in the store, including wall art, chairs and cups, needed to be shipped from Italy.

While they waited, Dean focused on hiring their five pastry chefs and other staff through video chat interviews.

When they met their head pastry chef, Mariana Ramirez, they found what Susan Barsness called their “silver lining.”

“Hearing the passion come out when (Mariana) was talking about her business, that’s where I was like ‘she’s got to be in,’” Susan said.

When the Barsness family finally received their materials from Italy in September, they were able to get to work building the store and training their staff.

Community members, many of whom had seen the Gelato & Co sign for months, started knocking on their door when they noticed people inside working, Dean said. Finally, after telling multiple people they weren’t open yet, Dean decided he couldn’t do it anymore.

person away,’ so we just started letting people in,” Dean said.

Since then, the shop has seen lots of support from the community, with customers coming in even after a snowstorm, Dean said. An artificial fireplace in a corner of the shop provides a warm place for customers to eat their gelato.

Each day, Ramirez and her staff arrive at the shop at 7 a.m. to begin working on the day’s gelato and pastries, which both rotate based on the season and customer input. All of the non-perishable ingredients for these items, such as pistachios, caramel and chocolate, come from Italy. The rest of the materials, like dairy and fruit, comes from local vendors, Ramirez said.

Gelato flavors in late October included pumpkin pie, cookies and cream, coffee, berry cheesecake and pistachio. The shop also offers gelato sandwiches, cakes and gelato bars.

“We’re trying to bring a little bit of Italy to Highlands Ranch,” Susan said.

Sportsbook promos eat into tax revenues Tactics meant to attract bettors lead to lower net income for operators

September, that’s what it comes down to,” Bichsel said. “The players won money and the sportsbooks didn’t.

There’s a bunch of reasons why the sportsbooks didn’t perform as well. At some point, that average hold percentage, month over month, will start to rise, and you’ll see considerable revenue coming into the state.”

But while the sports betting business gets off the ground in Colorado, the competition for new customers has triggered promotion of those easy bets, designed to attract interest by providing a fun and risk-free experience. That has contributed to lower revenue for sportsbooks, and less tax collected for the state.

BY KEVIN SIMPSON THE COLORADO SUN

You’ve seen the come-ons, virtually nonstop on TV in between the onslaughts of political advertising: Online sportsbooks offering “free” money to bet on their site, or offering ridiculous proposition bets that make you a winner in an NFL game if either team scores a touchdown.

Maybe you’ve even downloaded an app yourself and made some easy money. If you did so in September, that means your money was part of the more than $207 million legally wagered during that month on sports in Colorado. Aside from your winnings, you might also feel good that all that money is contributing to the tax revenue that soon will fund Colorado’s much-needed water projects.

Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.

Customers continue to gravitate toward the state’s sportsbooks — the lineup has grown from a handful to 15 online and 12 walk-in retail outlets — and the amount of money bet on sports has grown rapidly, especially since the return to play of major sports in late July after a coronavirus shutdown. But after an initial rise, tax revenues in September plummeted to their lowest level since sports betting became legal at the start of May.

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

The reasons, industry analysts and sportsbooks explain, are tied to new operators in a highly competitive market offering those practically can’t-lose bets to lure new users, especially online. Additionally, the natural unpredictability of sports competition took a turn against operators — and in favor of Colorado bettors — that resulted in a lower “hold percentage,”

which is how much of all those bets operators actually keep (and pay taxes on) after payouts.

In Colorado, the hold was 1.9% in September. Normally, it ranges between 6% and 12%, according to industry expert Max Bichsel, vice president of U.S. business for the Gambling.com Group.

“Basically, people won money in

Tactic to lure customers “In September, operators offered free bets to new players who were coming into the sports betting market specifically for football, and they used free bets as a customer acquisition tool during a football push,” said Suzi Karrer, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Revenue. “We anticipate seeing the same push by operators during other large events. For example, the Final Four or the playoffs could see the same marketing push to gain market share by operators.”

From that $207 million bet in September, a figure known as the handle, sportsbooks retained only about $4.2 million in revenue — down 44% from August. Taxes declined 63% from the previous month.

“That 19% gap can be attributed to those ‘fake bets,’” Bichsel said.

Wandering through the Enchanted Forest Mystical characters greet costumed youngsters at South Platte Park

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As they wandered through the forest, the sojourners encountered many strange characters along the path: minstrels, fairies, mermaids, knights in armor — even a falcon

and an eagle or two.

The path wasn’t in Narnia or Middle Earth, but one of the wilder stretches of South Platte Park, which became the Enchanted Forest on Oct. 25.

“We couldn’t do some of our normal Halloween programming this year, but we wanted to come up with something festive,” said park interpreter Victoria Sutton, who spearheaded the Enchanted Forest walk.

Sutton and others reached out to a coterie of Colorado Renaissance

Festival performers, who were otherwise unable to don their costumes this year after the festival was canceled.

In addition to the performers, costumed youngsters met harpists, bagpipers, and volunteers from the HawkQuest birds-of-prey rescue showing off some of the center’s mighty birds.

“This really did turn out great,” Sutton said. “Downright magical.

I think this could come back every year. It could be big. We’re talking food truck big.”

alternative to in-person learning that will run at least through the end of this school year and could top $5 million in expenses.

Even with the passage of 4C, the district isn’t out of the woods yet, Ewert said.

“This will stabilize the conversation, but we still may have to make cuts — they just won’t be so draconian,” he said.

Currently, district residents pay a mill levy rate of 59.266 toward LPS, or $423.75 per year per $100,000 of home value.

The measure will raise the mill levy on homes in the district by 6 mills in its first year, with the option to increase by one mill per year, up to a maximum of 11. The 6-mill increase would be $42.58 per year per $100,000 of home value.

That means on a home valued at $500,000, the measure will increase the annual taxes paid toward LPS by $212.90, from $2,118.75 to $2,331.65.

The amount a homeowner would pay if the mill levy was increased by 11 over five years is difficult to estimate because mill levy payments are based on the property tax rate, which is subject to fluctuation. If the rate remained steady at 7.15%, a full 11mill increase would result in an increase of roughly $78 per year per $100,000 of home value.

Ewert said he recognized that the middle of a pandemic and economic crisis is a hard time to raise taxes on many people, but said the district is an economic engine that helps buoy property values.

“One major value that drives families to Littleton is our high-performing school district,” he said. “The money you pay out comes back in the form of district employees living and spending their money here, and it comes back in the form of well-educated students.”

Lakewood lore inspires author with Arvada roots

C R O S SWO R D P U Z Z L E

The new thriller reimagines 1960s Lakewood crime as fiction

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If you grew up in Lakewood in the late 1960s you might remember the tale of the Garage Gorilla. Legend has it, he prowled around neighborhoods in the fledgling city, breaking into garages and lying in wait to attack unsuspecting women in the dark.

First-time author Collin Pearce’s father remembered those times well, and would regale young Collin with spooky stories from days gone by.

Now it’s the son who is spinning scary yarns and drawing on one of his dad’s tales for inspiration. As a kid growing up in Arvada, Pearce, 26, loved writing and books, but stories

by Edgar Allan Poe and Ray Bradbury really grabbed his attention. From his new home, California, He’s just published his first novel, “The Garage Guerrilla,” a fictionalized mash-up of the Lakewood crime-spree with elements of the modern-day Golden

Author Collin Pearce who just released his first novel, “The Garage Guerrilla.”

State Killer case. Pearce said the sheer creepiness of the events in the Garage Gorilla story his dad told him as a kid was what really stuck with him for so many years.

SPORTSBOOK FROM PAGE 20

“They’re not taxable, just a promotional bonus that the regulator doesn’t tax. The first few months of a market opening up gets ultra confusing.”

Allowing those promotions to be excluded from total revenue for tax purposes isn’t uncommon, Karrer said, as both Michigan and Virginia also allow promotional deductions.

“Operators utilize free bets as a new customer-acquisition strategy,” she said. “We anticipate that once the market is established and saturated in Colorado, the strategy may change to customer retention and satisfaction in promotions offered.”

Projecting tax revenues on sports betting has been difficult, and some early guesses proved high. A more recent analysis by the Colorado Division of Gaming put estimated tax receipts at $1.5 million to $1.7 million for fiscal 2020-21. With numbers now available for the first five months of operation, the state has collected just over $808,000, with the most recent month’s receipts, $69,771 for September, rank-

“He was an offender that would terrify neighborhoods, prowling around, breaking into garages and turning out the lights and turning on hoses so people would come out at night,” he said. When the equally sordid Golden State Killer case was recently solved using modern science and technol-

ing as the lowest so far.

State Rep. Alec Garnett, a Denver Democrat who backed the bill that legalized sports betting last year, said the declining tax revenue numbers amid the rising handle are “worthy of a conversation about what’s driving the spread in different directions.”

“You’d assume it’s part of an advertising investment on the front end — but if that doesn’t slow down, then there are some statutory fixes the Legislature can contemplate,” he said.

What few complaints he’s heard so far, Garnett said, have revolved around differences in the way various platforms approach certain types of bets where odds have been revised retroactively.

“I’ve heard other consumer-protection issues around differences on platforms,” he said. “Some rules, people feel are unfair. I think there’s going to be a cleanup bill that I’ll work on with the Department of Revenue and Division of Gaming and all these things will be considered for sure. We just did it, just opened, so these are fair conversations to happen. The door is going to be open for consumers and folks from the industry to sit down and navigate the best way forward.”

He noted that legislation that legalized marijuana in Colorado required fine-tuning, but said feedback he’s gotten indicates that “people feel the platforms are honest and well regulated, innovative and really working quite well. But no matter how well the vast majority are going, there’s room to make it better.”

Predictions are complicated Between the mechanics of a new market and the coronavirus pandemic that threw the sports schedule into disarray, the statewide performance of sportsbooks could be “a couple years out” from predicting the ebbs and flows of money coming into the state.

“The market is healthy, it’s big, there’s competition — that’s what’s driving a lot of the promotional activity people find a little annoying,” Garnett said. “But we want competition because it is good for consumers.”

Some industry experts point out the simple truth that great taxable revenue receipts in the present would mean a lot of Coloradans lost bets.

Looking to the future, that could hinder the industry’s growth by discouraging those testing the waters. By forgoing some tax revenue in the short

term, allowing for the big promotional push, Colorado boosts its chances of nurturing a mature business and capitalizing on future tax money.

For the moment, they claim, Colorado simply suffers from a small sample size.

“We are just starting to see what the revenue and total handle are with sports returning to full play,” DOR’s Karrer said, “so we are looking for three to four months of solid data to see what the monthly averages will look like.”

Bichsel, of Gambling.com, said that for the first couple of months, sportsbooks are simply fighting for space on a user’s phone as bettors try different platforms and eventually settle on one they like.

“That’s when you see things become steady,” he said. “If I’m a customer in Denver over six months, there’s not that many promotions they can offer me. They may give me incentives, but they’re not giving free money like they did in the first months.”

ogy, Pearce was inspired to reimagine what happened all of those years ago in Lakewood and weave in a modern twist. Pearce said the novel took a little over a year to write, while continuing his career in construction project management.

“I write for an hour a night,” he said. “At first, I had no idea what I was doing. I started by writing about five chapters by hand and then my handwriting was so bad, I re-wrote it on a computer.”

Pearce said he had about the first half of the novel figured out when he started, but from there he just kept writing to see where the story took him. Eventually, the story took the Arvada West and CSU graduate to a completed book that’s garnering good reviews from Kirkus Reviews and from Amazon reviews, and gaining readers through word of mouth, social media engagement and even a bit of traction on Amazon. If brick and mortar is still your thing, the book can be special

ordered from retail booksellers.

As for launching his first book during a global pandemic, Pearce said it’s made marketing and in-person visits to book stores more difficult, but it actually gave him a lot of extra time to think about the book as he was finishing it up. It may have also given him time to start plotting out his second novel, already in the works.

“The new book is a totally different concept, but it is another psychological thriller,” Pearce said.
