County ready to celebrate Bike to Work Day

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Bike to Work Day is back, and Arapahoe County is gearing up to support cyclists across the region with breakfast stations, community engagement and a celebration of active transportation on June 25.

Bike to Work Day is organized each year by Way to Go — a program of the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) — in partnership with eight regional transportation management associations. e purpose of Bike to Work Day is to encourage commuters to swap their cars for bicycles, bene ting their wallets, health and the environment.

“I’m a big fan of Bike to Work Day,” Englewood Mayor Othoniel Sierra said. “ ere’s a more festive atmosphere on Bike to Work Day, with a ton of support from area businesses and other Bike To Work partners. For anyone that is curious about potentially biking to work more frequently, this would be a great day to give it a go.”

Jill McGranahan, public information o cer for the county, said the county has been a supporter of Bike to Work Day since 2015.

“We believe in the power of our regional trail system to connect people, support our local economy and support health, wellness and quality of life for Arapahoe County residents,” McGranahan said. “We want to encourage people to hop on their bikes and commute to work or just enjoy exploring Arapahoe County’s trails. It’s a win-win — good for the environment and good for people.” is year, Arapahoe County Open Spaces is participating by hosting two bike stations where riders can stop in for breakfast, a free trail map and some community cheer. Both recreational riders and daily commuters are welcome. is year also marks a small change in station operations. While the Arapahoe Road Trailhead station will continue to be hosted by the county, the Mary Carter Greenway station will be led by the City of Littleton in partnership with Arapahoe County and the Pedal of Littleton bike shop.

“ at one’s always been super popular and draws a great crowd along the Cherry Creek Regional Trail,” McGranahan said. “We will still have a presence at the Mary Carter Greenway station, but the city is the lead for that station.”

Students Natalia and Violeta Hernandez Gonzalez learn literacy and writing skills during the summer program o ered at Cherrelyn Elementary School on June 7, 2024.

A ‘friendly neighborhood tattoo shop’

Littleton native opens Low Side Tattoo Company on Broadway in Englewood

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Littleton native and resident Bradly Anderson drew his rst airplane at just 2 years old, he had no idea that over three decades later, that same sketch would be permanently inked onto his grandmother’s arm — joining one of the thousands of designs he would create over the course of his tattooing career.

“I’ve been drawing my whole life,” Anderson said. “Before I could even write my own name, my grandma had me draw (that) airplane. at’s the rst drawing I ever did, and she had me tattoo it on her.”

In the beginning of May, Anderson opened his rst tattoo shop, Low Side Tattooing Company, located at 3741 S. Broadway in Englewood.

“I would say it’s the classic, friendly neighborhood tattoo shop,” Anderson said. “We really emphasize walk-ins, open doors — we want people to come hang out.”

Anderson said there are many tattoo shops these days that aren’t the most welcoming, and he wants his shop to be like the classic establishments where people would receive tattoos and have the opportunity to spend time with friends and like-minded individuals.

“ ey’re appointment-only, and they’ve kind of lost the essence of traditional tattooing,” Anderson said, referring to other tattoo shops. “It used to be the spot to hang out. You’d make friends with the artists, even if you weren’t getting tattooed by them. It wasn’t uncomfortable — it was, ‘hey, come down, hang out.’ at’s what we want to promote here.”

While he has been drawing his whole life, Anderson’s path into the tattoo world began when he was 16.

“I got into music and the alternative lifestyle as a teenager,” Anderson said. “But I was always told, ‘you can’t make a living with art’ — you know, the starving artist cliché. When I was 16, my older brother was getting tattooed a lot, and I told my mom, ‘I want my rst tattoo.’ Her rule was: ‘OK, I’ll sign o on it if your grandma draws it and you go to the same artist as your brother.’”

So that’s what Anderson did, and as soon as he stepped into that tattoo shop, his life was transformed.

“I was hearing music I liked, seeing cool people. I thought, ‘this is something I could do,”’Anderson said. “From there, I started drawing more tattoo ash and kept trying to get an apprenticeship. I got rejected a lot, which is pretty normal. Eventually, I dropped out of high school, went to art school and kept pushing the guy who would become my mentor.”

When he was 17, Anderson began tattooing and eventually became an apprentice at 18.

“I nished in about a year-and-a-half, and I’ve been tattooing professionally since 2012. So, a little over 13 years now,” Anderson said.

Anderson grew up in Littleton and said he was attracted to the charm of Englewood when scouting locations for his shop.

“Denver can be a bit chaotic, but Englewood feels like a hidden gem — maybe not hidden, but it has a great vibe,”

Anderson said. “ e businesses here are community-centric. ere’s a lot of art and music — just really awesome energy.”

Anderson said people have responded well to the shop since it opened.

“It’s been great. Our clients love the space,” Anderson said. “We’ve had a lot of walk-ins — people just curious about the new place. e record store next door has been sending folks our way. ere’s

already a good buzz, and it’s only going to grow from here.”

One aspect that Anderson enjoys most about the tattooing work is the culture.

“Tattooing is an amalgamation of the arts, counterculture and community,” he said. “You meet so many di erent people, and you’re a small part of their story. I always say, ‘I’m in the business of selfexpression.”’ Anderson loves seeing someone look at

their tattoo in the mirror for the rst time.

“Tattooing still has a kind of magic,” he said. “Even though it’s more mainstream now, there’s something special about it that hasn’t been lost.”

Along with Anderson, there are three other tattoo artists at Low Side, and they include two women and a queer man.

“I think that it’s a really safe and comfortable environment, and you can just be yourself and we’re all just going to laugh and let you do that, which a lot of tattoo shops don’t do,” said Caitlin Janicek, who specializes in ne line oral and ornamental tattoos.

Janicek has been a tattoo artist for about ve years and said she’s experienced a level of toxicity at other shops she has worked at, but feels Low Side is a welcoming and inclusive environment.

“ ey kind of make you feel unwelcome or like you’re inconveniencing them — when you shouldn’t feel inconvenienced at all,” Janicek said of other tattoo shops. “I think that’s the most important thing about our shop is that it just kind of feels like you’re hanging out with your friends instead of like, you go into this place and you feel like an outsider.”

Anderson said tattooing has a rough past, but that it’s shifting and he wants Low Side to be a part of that shift.

“Traditional tattooing sometimes gets a bad rap — there were a lot of grumpy old White men who didn’t want to let anyone else in,” Anderson said. “But it’s changing, and we’re fully behind that change. We want people to feel comfortable here, always.”

Anderson said when he was building Low Side, he wanted to make sure he had the right people joining him.

“I’d been watching some of them for years. I knew I needed the right people — not just in terms of skill, but also personality,” Anderson said. “We spend more time with each other than with our families, so it’s important we click. I wanted a good variety of styles, and when I reached out to them, the rst thing I asked wasn’t ‘do you want to work for me?’ It was, ‘what does your ideal tattoo shop look like?’ I wanted this to be something we build together.”

For Anderson, owning his own business has been incredible but challenging.

“Tattooing already requires a lot, but running a shop is responsibility on a whole di erent level,” Anderson said. “It’s stressful, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. ere’s no one to bail me out — it’s all on my shoulders. But that’s also what makes it exciting — I can build whatever I want here.”

Going forward, Anderson hopes Low Side is successful and hopes it becomes “the place.”

“I want people to know us, feel comfortable coming in — even if they’re not getting tattooed. We want to host events, be involved in the community. Just make it a hub where everyone feels welcome,” Anderson said.

Janicek agrees with Anderson about the success of the business in how it performs, but also hopes it continues to make a di erence.

“I hope that we are really successful and change the industry from being predominantly dominated by men, and let it be a space for everyone,” she said. “I think that we’re really on the track to do that, and have already done that, because we all have very di erent clientele and we’re all very di erent people.”

What I’ve Learned About Why Condominiums Are Getting Harder to Finance

Four years ago on June 24, 2021, part of a 12-story condominium building in Surfside, Florida, collapsed at 1:14 a.m. killing 98 residents and injuring 11 others.

But that’s only one event that has contributed to the increasing difficulty of selling and financing the purchase of condos across America.

Primarily because of severe weather, especially hail storms in Colorado, master insurance policies have gotten more expensive and their deductibles increased dramatically. When the deductible in a master insurance policy exceeds 5% of the insured value, units within a condo association become “non-warrantable” according to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines — and over 90% of all loans are sold to those federal agencies after closing and must therefore meet those guidelines.

home for first-time homebuyers who are less likely to have that much cash. They could also go to a “portfolio” or “non-QM” lender, but those lenders don’t typically offer the low down payments of conventional or FHA lenders.



by a single entity

Fewer than 35% of the units are the primary or second home of the unit owner (FHA only)

The HOA has inadequate reserves

Every lender has its own condo questionnaire that must be completed by the association property manager. The questionnaire addresses the numerous concern areas of the lender. The loan could be rejected if:

Master insurance deductible is over 5%

Commercial space exceeds 35%

More than 15% the unit owners are 60 or more days delinquent on HOA dues

A construction defect lawsuit is pending

Less than 10% of the HOA budget is allocated to reserves

There’s a lot of deferred maintenance

FHA does a lot of this analysis for lenders and will provide a 3-year certification which lenders can rely on, but the application process is tedious and many condo associations fail to apply for or renew their certification.

That FHA lookup website is https:// entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/condlook.cfm

Here’s what the screen looked like when I searched for the Centennial condo featured with a price reduction in last week’s ad:

Sometimes it’s hard to know whether a unit is a condo or a townhome. The simple distinction is that a townhome owns the land under it, but even a standalone home could legally be a condo.

Buyers can pay cash, of course, but condos have long been considered the entry-level

More than 20-25% of the units are owned

NAR Dilutes Its Rule Against Hate Speech by Realtors

In the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis cop in May 2020, and the heated rhetoric, much of it racist, which followed, the National Association of Realtors enacted a “standard of practice” to go along with Article 10 of the NAR Code of Ethics, which bars Realtors from denying professional services based on “race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity.”

Inspired by demand for social change and an unprecedented number of complaints received by NAR relating to discriminatory conduct and language by Realtors, the Board approved Standard of Practice 10-5 with language that expanded Article 10 to include the prohibition against harassment and hate language generally and not just limited to a Realtor’s professional life.

SOP 10-5 was implemented by the NAR Board of Directors on Nov. 13, 2020, and read as follows: “Realtors must not use harassing speech, hate speech, epithets, or slurs

based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity.”

Here’s the new language, which no longer enforces that rule on Realtors’ communications or actions outside their business life:

“Realtors, in their capacity as real estate professionals, in association with their real estate businesses, or in their real estaterelated activities, shall not harass any person or persons based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity.” (Emphasis added.)

SOP 10-4 continues as follows:

“As used in this Code of Ethics, harassment is unwelcome behavior directed at an individual or group based on one or more of the above protected characteristics where the purpose or effect of the behavior is to create a hostile, abusive, or intimidating environment which adversely affects their ability to access equal professional services or employment opportunity.”

The search showed that this condo is approved by FHA for the 3-year period beginning July 24, 2023.

Although regulators have determined that the buyer’s agent, not the listing agent, is obligated to check whether a condo is FHAapproved, a responsible listing agent should, in my opinion, do the simple search described above and not list “FHA” as acceptable financing if the community is described as “rejected” or “expired” on that website.

Even if the website shows the association as approved, the lender will still require the long-form questionnaire from the association and study the budget, declarations, bylaws and more before approving a loan, so the lender should request those documents as soon as possible after the buyer goes under contract — certainly within a week.

The legal description can sometimes mislead a lender, broker or buyer as to whether they’re dealing with a condo or a townhome. Typically, the legal description should refer to a “condo declaration” and not have a “block and lot” description that is more appropriate to a parcel that includes land. Some legal descriptions which include the word “condo” are in fact townhomes, and vice versa. The title company can quickly research the full legal description and answer that question, which becomes critical to obtaining loan approval. Another clue would be if the association is on the FHA condo lookup database.

Back to the subject of insurance coverage and deductibles, a buyer who purchases a condo as a primary resident or second home should get an HO-6 “walls-in” condo insurance policy which includes a “loss assessment” endorsement, which would pay for the deductible which is assessed to each unit owner as the result of a hail or other claim. The annual cost of such a policy is far less than the insurance policy for a single-family home and can save you up to a 5-figure special assessment from the condo association.

If the master policy does not include roof, exterior, etc., the unit owner should purchase a more expensive HO-3 policy instead of the HO-6 policy.

FHA is favored because of its low downpayment requirement — as little as 3.5% — but with a higher down payment it’s possible the lender will only require a “streamline” review, which is quicker and less expensive. That requires a minimum 10% down payment for a primary residence and 25% for a second home.

It’s important for a buyer to hire an agent experienced in condo purchases and who can refer you to the best lender.

Littleton City Council approves ADUs

June 3 meeting included public hearing, tense debates

BY ISABEL GUZMAN IGUZMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton City Council approved two signi cant ordinances on 6-1 votes during its regular meeting on June 3, which will update the Uni ed Land Use Code (ULUC) to comply with new state requirements for accessory dwelling units (ADUs).

e council advanced amendments to the ULUC, aligning local regulations with recent state requirements proposed by House Bill 24-1152. e Colorado General Assembly said the bill is designed to increase the number of ADUs across the state in an e ort to mitigate the state’s housing crisis. ADUs are smaller, independent residential spaces located on the same lot as a primary, single-family home. ey are sometimes called in-law suites.

Ordinance details and council action

Following the council’s rst hearing for Ordinance No. 09, Series 2025, which refers to approving ULUC amendments related to ADUs, on May 20, council held its second reading and public hearing on June 3.

e new rules will allow ADUs up to 1,000 square feet — which is an increase from 750 — and remove requirements for new parking. ey will also eliminate extra design standards that are not applied to primary homes. Detached ADUs will no longer require alley access, and the “contained” ADU category is being removed — these are now considered “attached.”

Councilmember Patrick Driscoll asked city planners during the June 3 meeting why they proposed taller height maximums that go beyond the language of HB 24-1152.

Criticism of Rooted in Littleton petition, tense public comment and debate

During public comment on June 3, residents discussed their views of the recent petition started by Rooted in Littleton that aims to sharply limit changes to residential land use in the city. Some said the petition is derived from exclusion and

intimidation, while others say the city is allowing the State of Colorado to dictate zoning in a home rule municipality.

“(Rooted in Littleton has) shamed members of my network who can’t a ord a single-family home in Littleton, and one of my friends was aggressively accosted by their neighbors to get them to sign the petition,” said resident Audrey Howes during public comment.

Resident Pam Chapman said during public comment that she would like to see the Littleton Appeals & Adjustment Commission review the proposed code text change.

“I want to know more about ADUs … One week from the study (session) to (today) isn’t adequate — postpone and get more data … Please don’t approve (this),” she said.

Chapman added that the city doesn’t need to follow state law, as many cities are suing the State of Colorado in response to HB 24-1152, including Arvada, Aurora, Glendale, Greenwood Village, Lafayette and Westminster.

“We (should) see what happens with this lawsuit before we go further than (what) our code … requires. We shouldn’t be designing the city by fad, by trend or whatever everybody else is doing,” Chapman said.

During the public comment portion that addressed the ordinances, resident Julia Shannon said she supports approving ADUs, citing the ability to house aging parents, young adults and renters who struggle to a ord housing. She said some opponents mix the desire to preserve the city with excluding low-income and minority residents.

“Some opponents talk about preserving Littleton, but let’s be honest about what that often means. Single family only zoning has a legacy rooted in exclusion,” she said. “Continuing to cling to that structure, whether intentionally or not, makes it harder for Littleton to be the inclusive community that we claim to value.”

Shannon also said it would be legally irresponsible for the city to defy state law and to signal prioritizing resistance to change over legal responsibility and progress.

“ at’s not who we are,” Shannon said. “Preserving the status quo built on exclusivity is not something we should be proud of.”

Another Littleton resident, Alexis Brewer, voiced her support for ADUs.

“Our school district needs more kids to enroll to stay thriving. Without lling the missing middle and having diverse hous-

ing options in Littleton, (Littleton Public Schools) will continue to lose state funding, resulting in less services for kids and closing of schools,” Brewer said. “Littleton needs more housing options for our vital and critical members like nurses, remen, police o cers, your local bartender and shop owners and other service industry workers to make the city what it is and wants to continue to become.”

Opponents of allowing ADUs in Littleton’s residential zones said they don’t intend to exclude people from living in the city, but rather prevent increased home density.

“I nd it o ensive and inappropriate to say that because I don’t support ADUs, that I am opposed to diversity,” said resident Donna Cook.

Pat McCall, a resident and opponent of ADUs, said condominiums should be being built instead of apartments and ADUs.

“Allow young owners to purchase condominiums where they can earn equity and buy up,” he said. “ e title (for ADUs) is going to remain in the main homeowner’s name … Which means you, as an ADU resident, you’re not the owner, so I just think that bit of reality needs to be brought in.”

McCall also voiced concern for the proposed 7.5-foot setback that would be included in the passing of the ordinances.

“I’d like to know that the re marshals are chiming in on that. Some of the reasons for setbacks and the distance between homes was to prevent them from all catching on re,” he said.

Ultimately, council approved the ordinances on 6-to-1 votes, with Driscoll being the only “no” votes.

“As you’ve heard over the last year, primarily by me, approving this ordinance will not solve the missing middle or affordability. It will create more density and ruin the look and feel of our historic neighborhoods. Not having parking guidelines will cause consternation with our neighbors,” Driscoll said. “I’m not against ADUs on our corridors, or when our zoning allows it, but I am 100% against ADUs in our historic neighborhoods and our HOAs. What I’m most against is the state telling a home rule city how to manage our housing. is is our chance to make a stand against future state mandates.”

Opponents of the two land code ordinances say the state is overreaching while proponents say the ordinances will improve housing stock for Littleton. PHOTO BY ISABEL GUZMAN

Economic Factors, Policy Landscape Lead to Budget Shortfall

Fire and medical emergency response services are at risk

The Challenge

There’s been a 20% increase in calls for service since 2019.

This includes structure, vehicle, and wildland fires; explosions and hazmat incidents; water rescues; vehicle crashes; public or police assistance; and medical emergencies.

Emergency medical calls now account for 65% of all response – this is expected to increase with an aging population.

Costs have increased dramatically in six years; for example:

The cost for a fire engine has gone from $725,000 to $1.3 million (79% increase).

The cost for protective bunker gear has gone from $4,321 to $6,047 (40% increase).

To continue providing quality fire and emergency response, South Metro needs an additional $34 million annually.

State legislation that passed during a special session in 2024 reduces property tax revenue South Metro collects by $16 million in 2026 and $270 million over 10 years.

South Metro Fire Rescue is facing an immediate budget shortfall due to years of rising costs, consistent increases in demand, and new state legislation. Without new revenue, the organization will not be able to maintain the high level of service for fire and emergency response that residents and businesses deserve, and have come to expect.

Did You Know?

South Metro is a full-service department Here are a few key facts:

stations across 30 square miles 287

personnel across 800 divisions 8

residents, which will serving 571,500 in grow to 595,0004 years municipalities and 12 counties 3

Centennial Airport, Lockheed Martin, Highlands Ranch, 4 Square Mile, and The Pinery Including:

The Bottom Line

With $34 million needed to address increased demand for services and rising costs, plus the $16 million shortfall, South Metro needs to identify how it will generate $50 million in additional funding annually.

Finding joy to help overcome struggles

For 10 years as Assistant Principal at Eaglecrest High School, I had the privilege of overseeing the program for students with unique educational needs. at experience was transformational. One portion of my responsibility included a program known as the Integrated Learning Center, ILC. at primarily selfcontained classroom included students with particularly unique learning needs. In the ILC, I observed new dimensions to the human spirit and courage to depths I did not know possible. I learned what fun a lack of inhibition can be for everyone around and about the joy of being recognized. I actually had to stand outside the ILC to listen to what the teacher was saying before I entered the room, so that the students’ learning was not disrupted by an inevitable chorus of voices saying “Hi, Mr. Roome!”

During that decade, the two most profound lessons I learned from students were about having an unwavering love of life and determination without bounds. I watched students bounce with joy because they glimpsed a friend or grasped a favorite toy. I observed full-on belly laughs because of a word or a wink. In fact, I cannot think of a time when the room was void of smiles. It is not that life is easy or the road is clear for students in ILC. In fact, just the opposite. Students’ lives can be lled with unimaginable hardship, and yet there is still time for drinking the joy of living. ere is a great lesson in

AWORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

that room for all of us. Why would we have been put on this earth if it were not to bask in the joy of living? at bottomless well of joy sits next to determination, which outshines all other ideas in the ILC. Determination to live, to be, to thrive, determination to overcome. e goal might be to walk or to speak, or to share an idea. e size of the mountain does not matter, determination rules the space. We can learn from the students and ll our lives with the determination to overcome the mountains we encounter.

Six years ago, I stopped overseeing the ILC program. To the end of my days, thoughts about those wonderful students will bring a smile to my face and a resolve to my heart because of the joy and determination I observed in that space.

Whatever your struggle, my hope is that you, too, will nd a lesson in this story of amazing students and that you will ll your week with joy and determination, no matter the struggle.

You have got this.

I hope my words encourage you and that you will share them with those who need support. ank you to everyone who has shared their stories with me so far; I truly appreciate hearing about the

valuable ideas you nd in these columns and how you use them to uplift those around you. You can reach me at jim. roome@gmail.com.

The often-missed path to greater success

fter decades of working in the personal and professional development space, I’ve had the opportunity to evaluate businesses, teams, and individuals across a wide range of industries. Whether we’re conducting a classic SWOT analysis; strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, reviewing assessment data on talents and competencies, or sitting down for interviews with key players, one thing becomes abundantly clear time and time again: when strengths and weaknesses are laid out side by side, far too many people zero in on the weaknesses.

at focus makes sense, on the surface. After all, we’ve been taught to improve what’s broken. If a machine isn’t functioning, we x the faulty part. If a report is wrong, we nd the error. But when it comes to people, teams, and businesses, this singular focus on “ xing” weaknesses can back re, especially when it comes at the expense of building upon strengths.

Now, let’s be clear: acknowledging and addressing weaknesses is important. In fact, neglecting them altogether is a recipe for stagnation or decline. I make a point each year to take assessments that shine a light on areas where I need to improve. And yes, that list is always longer than I’d like. Without a plan to address those areas, they’ll only grow into bigger problems.

But here’s the truth I’ve come to embrace, and what I hope you take away from this column: the real momentum, the kind that lifts us to the next level,

comes from doubling down on our strengths. When we re ne what we already do well, when we lean into our natural talents, repeatable behaviors, and reliable competencies, we nd traction. And that traction leads to tangible, repeatable suc-

ink about it. Professional athletes are the best in the world at what they do, yet they spend countless hours re ning their strengths. ey don’t stop practicing their signature moves because they’re already good at them. In fact, they practice them more, seeking that slight edge that will make them unstoppable. e same holds true in business, entertainment, and high-level leadership. Top performers rarely become top performers by trying to be great at everything. Instead, they become elite by identifying what they do best and doing it better than anyone else. is is a transferable truth. Whether we’re talking about a business unit, a leadership team, or a high-potential employee, there is incredible value in identifying the strengths and intentionally investing in them. at might mean assigning roles that align with natural abilities, providing tools that elevate already-strong performance, or simply encouraging more time and focus on the work that brings energy and results. Let’s not forget the psychological bene t. When we only focus on weaknesses,

our mindset often follows. We begin to feel like we’re always behind, constantly catching up, never enough. at kind of thinking can be toxic. But when we focus on strengths, we tap into con dence, momentum, and engagement. It’s a motivating force, one that propels us forward rather than weighing us down. Ultimately, this isn’t an either-or conversation. It’s about balance. We absolutely must identify and work on our weaknesses, creating long-term strategies to grow in the areas that need improvement. But we must also capitalize on our strengths for near-term success and condence-building wins. at balanced approach, acknowledging both what needs to change and what needs to be ampli ed, is the real key to unlocking potential.

So the next time you conduct a selfreview, a team evaluation, or a strategic

‘Uniquely Englewood’

A guide to South Broadway murals

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lining the side of a building on South Broadway, four towering murals capture the spirit of Englewood — both past and present.

“We have four large murals on our wall,” Frame De Art owner, Brian Hart, said. “ ey are 12-foot by 14-foot murals. Two of them are painted. Two of them are using what’s called the brick melt … ey’re going to retain the colors a lot more versus painting them.”

Each mural tells a story, woven together by themes of local identity and pride. One celebrates the neighborhoods of Englewood through a stylized city map.

“I was trying to get some murals that would re ect Englewood,” Hart said. “So I was very excited when they had the Englewood map, and I thought that would be a fun way to show di erent neighborhoods in Englewood.”

One of four murals on the side of Frame De Art in Englewood shows a sunﬂower with the logo Brought to Reality Foundation, which represents a nonproﬁt that focuses on mental health awareness run by Will and Maria Bales.

more murals, 20 more murals,” Hart said.

For this business owner, murals are more than art — they’re community builders.

e impact of these pieces stretches beyond the building itself.

“It’s a great way to get the community engaged,” Hart said. “I love hearing that customers and people in general see it when they drive by.”

Murals like these are transforming South Broadway into an open-air gallery — one wall at a time — and Hart feels even more could be created.

“I think we have a lot of walls that we can still ll up. I would be excited to see 10

“It builds pride for the citizens that live here and customers that shop in that area … It’s like, hey, we live in a great city, and we’re proud to show it o ,” Hart said.

Along with Hart’s murals are two murals on the side of Felt Bar, a local pool hall. Both murals were painted by artists selected by the Englewood Cultural Arts Commission and the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce as part of the chamber’s Mural and Mason Jars event. Felt is located at 101 W. Floyd Ave. and both murals stand 22 feet tall.

Women can create art en plein air in Littleton

Women’s Caucus for Art Colorado Chapter hosts festival June 28-29

BY ISABEL GUZMAN IGUZMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

En plein air is a French phrase that means “in the open air” in English. e term comes from 19th century France when renowned artists like John Constable and Claude Monet embraced landscape painting outside, in the elements of nature, according to Lyndy Bush of Women’s Caucus for Art Colorado Chapter (WCACO).

“Monet said that the light changes every seven minutes. So you really only have seven minutes to capture whatever it is you’re looking at because it’s going to be di erent in a few minutes,” Bush said. is summer, WCACO is coming to Littleton for the town’s rst plein air art festival sponsored by the caucus, which is funded by Littleton’s Arts and Culture Grant program. e festival will be two days long, from Saturday, June 28 through Sunday, June 29.

Artists will paint at Littleton’s parks, outdoor patios and the Hudson Gardens, capturing the city’s scenery and iconic landmarks. Some of the works created during the festival will be exhibited in August at the Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Art Gallery.

“What makes us di erent than a normal gallery situation is that these (artworks) are done quickly and they’re usually smaller because you have to carry

couraged to participate. Artists do not need to be residents of Littleton to take part of the festival, yet the art must be created within the city limits. Artists do

ey saw (a painting) getting painted, and so when they go to the gallery, that’s a memory for them as well.”

All female-identifying artists are en-

In-person registration is required for all artists, which will take place on June 28 from 8-10 a.m. at Alley Arts Studio at 2217 W. Powers Ave. e rst 60 female

artists to register are guaranteed one piece in the exhibit in Stanton Gallery. Artists must bring all of the materials they plan on using for their work — including blank canvases, paper, brushes and paints — to be stamped at registration. Artists can also use any medium as long as it is stamped.

“I know of some ceramicists and mosaic artists that are planning to come and make mosaics live outside — which is interesting to me because most people think about painting, but you can do anything outside,” Bush said.

While the Hudson Gardens will be available for the rst 25 artists who show up each day of the festival, the caucus will hand out maps of suggested locations around Littleton for artists to work.

“My favorite part is when people ... come up and watch,” Bush said. “Usually we’re in our studios alone. No one sees us painting. But (in this festival), people would come up behind you and it made you nervous at rst. I had people stand behind me for the entirety of the whole painting, just watching the whole thing come together. I nd it cool because these aren’t always people that would go to an art gallery, they were just out on a walk.” e Town Hall Arts Center takes 10% commission on sales. Purchased pieces can be taken by the buyer at the time of the sale. If artists make more than one piece, they can bring it to the drop-o in case there is extra room for display or it can replace a purchased work. Art at the Stanton Gallery is typically priced at $200 or less. However, artists can sell their work at any price. Artists will receive payment from the WCACO after the show closes.

New kitchen, laundry area completed at jail

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Arapahoe County Sheri ’s Ofce has completed the relocation and build of a new kitchen and laundry area at the Detention Facility, which are part of its multi-phase $46 million expansion of the facility.

Anders Nelson, public information o cer for the sheri ’s o ce, said the upgrades to the kitchen and laundry areas are designed to support the growing inmate population by improving daily operations and enhancing the standard of care within the facility.

“ e current facility was built in 1986 to house fewer than 400 inmates. Currently, we house close to 1,000,” Nelson said. “ is placed a signi cant strain on the capabilities of the old kitchen and laundry areas. e new construction of the kitchen and laundry provides a location that better accommodates the current population of the detention facility. is expansion enables us to serve those in our custody better while streamlining daily operations for our sta .” ese upgrades are part of an overall expansion for the facility.

“ e ‘old’ kitchen and laundry area provides us with space to expand our medical and behavioral health services,” Nelson said. “ ose upgrades will include 43 additional medical and behavioral health beds, increasing the facility’s capacity to 64 beds. is expansion enhances the sheri ’s o ce’s ability to deliver essential care, aligning with its commitment to rehabilitation and overall wellbeing.”

Sheri Tyler Brown said in a press release from the o ce that the completion of the kitchen and laundry was a critical rst step in the expansion.

“But now our focus shifts to expanding medical and behavioral health services. Increasing the number of medical and behavioral health beds will allow our sta to better meet the growing mental health needs of individuals in our care,” Tyler Brown said.

Nelson said the expansion responds to a need for enhanced infrastructure and services brought on by population growth and increased demand for mental health support in correctional settings.

“ e reality is that our detention facility is outdated, and in the coming years, we need to consider replacing it altogether,” Nelson said. “ e new kitchen and laundry were designed to be integrated into a new facility.” e project was funded through ARPA funds. Nelson said construction on the medical and behavioral health wing is expected to be completed by the end of April 2026.

On Aug. 4 and 5, the district will be o ering high school seniors the opportunity to do a deep dive into every aspect of the Common Application.

“ e Common Application is an application that is accepted by more than 800 colleges and universities in the United States and several international schools,” Polzin said. “With one application, one main essay and possible supplemental essays, seniors can apply to multiple schools.”

Polzin said the topics in this workshop include creating a Common App account, reviewing all sections of the Common App, how to write a college essay, how to showcase talents, skills and achievements, how to request a letter of recommendation and how to manage application timelines.

“ is is an excellent opportunity for seniors to work on their college applications with the support of our talented counselors and sta ,” Polzin said. For more information on summer programs people can visit www.englewoodschools.net/ our-district/summer-programs.

BIKE TO WORK

Beyond the breakfasts and giveaways, the heart of the day is in community connection.

“Engaging with residents and being part of the excitement of the day” is what McGranahan said she looks forward to the most about Bike to Work Day.

“It is wonderful to hear from residents how much they value Arapahoe County’s trails – for recreating with their families, for getting from place-to-place safely, and for commuting to work or to Downtown Denver, and even shopping,” she said.

Even on the coldest days of the year, McGranahan said county crews work hard to keep trails clear and safe and on Bike to Work Day – the reward is seeing the community come together in support of

cleaner air, healthier lifestyles and shared public spaces.

“People love our trails and have great feedback … and they love picking up a free bike trail map and delicious hot breakfast — hard to pass that up,” she said.

Station information

Arapahoe Road Trailhead Super Station Stop

15200 E. Arapahoe Road, Centennial 6:30–11 a.m.

Visitors to this popular stop will enjoy free Wafflerita waffles (waffles-on-astick), coffee, breakfast burritos and trail maps. The station is hosted by Arapahoe County Open Spaces in partnership with Denver South and the City of Centennial. Mary Carter Greenway Trail Station Stop

2640 W. Belleview Ave. (off Prince Street) 6:30–11 a.m.

Englewood will also host a station at Riverpoint Run on the Mary Carter Greenway near the Broken Tee Golf Course.

“It’s a great benefit for the region to provide additional resources for those individuals that are looking to bike into the office on more occasions, but just need that additional support,” Sierra said. “It’s also just a fun day to be out, as you’ll have many stations that are staffed to grab snacks and treats … so stop on by and speak to likeminded individuals – although, we may end up convincing you to potentially add a few more days to your routine.”

Englewood grads create phishing safety software

Ashlynn and Deveyn Hainey are twins, business partners

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In May, twin sisters and Englewood High School graduates Ashlynn and Deveyn Hainey graduated from the University of Colorado Denver with degrees in computer science. And along with their diplomas, the sisters walked away with an innovative solution to one of today’s most popular digital threats: phishing emails.

For their senior capstone project, the sisters created PhishSense, which is an AI-powered Gmail add-on that not only detects phishing attempts, but also teaches users how to recognize them.

“What makes it unique is the focus on both detection and user education,” Ashlynn Hainey said. “Instead of just agging emails, it provides clear, bulletpointed reasons, which are generated by a large language model and explains why an email might be phishing. is empowers users to recognize red ags themselves, increasing long-term security awareness.”

CU Denver Director of Public Relations Jennifer Woodru said that in 2024, phishing scams a ected 94% of organizations and cost Americans over $16 million.

While large companies often have cybersecurity teams in place, the average person is frequently left without the tools or knowledge to spot these threats. at’s exactly the gap the Hainey sisters aim to ll.

new to learn,” Ashlynn Hainey said. “It’s rewarding to build tools that can make a real di erence in people’s digital safety.”

Deveyn Hainey echoed the sentiment.

“I love that cybersecurity and tech are constantly-evolving elds that challenge us to stay curious and creative,” she said. “Solving real problems and building tools that make a di erence is incredibly rewarding.”

As they prepare to turn the page to the next chapter, the sisters re ect with both pride and excitement.

“Graduating feels both exciting and surreal,” Ashlynn Hainey said. “It’s a moment of accomplishment after years of hard work, but also a turning point. ere’s a lot of pride in what’s been accomplished — especially with regards to our degree and involvement.”

Deveyn Hainey added that the sisters’ graduation marks an end of this chapter in their lives, but also the start of new opportunities for which they can apply everything they’ve learned to real-world challenges.

Deveyn Hainey added that she and sister wanted to address the growing issue of email phishing, especially as AI-generated scams become more sophisticated.

“ e idea stemmed from combining our interest in cybersecurity and learning to create something more user-friendly and educational,” Deveyn Hainey said.

PhishSense is currently a prototype, but the twins are working to nalize its features and hope to explore a full launch soon.

From Englewood to innovation e Haineys credit CU Denver with giving them the skills and con dence to

“Most tools rely on a security team to review suspicious emails,” Ashlynn Hainey said. “ e goal was to create something that not only detects threats, but also teaches users how to identify them, making email security more transparent and accessible.”
