Nearly 4,000 cars protected. Zero thefts. Could this be the ultimate anti-theft solution?
Residents step in over Belmar Park lawsuit
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
e ght over a controversial proposed apartment complex near Belmar Park is escalating as frustrated residents have reached out to the city council, and parkland advocate Cathy Kentner has moved to formally intervene in a lawsuit led by developers against the city last December.
Members of Save Belmar Park, a citizen-led group advocating for the preservation of open space, argue the City of Lakewood has failed to defend a citizenled ordinance the council adopted after the group submitted the required number of signatures, leaving residents in opposition to the move no choice but to step in.

With Colorado ranking as the worst state in the nation for auto thefts, Lakewood police set out to nd a proactive solution to protect residents and recover stolen vehicles more quickly, according to Russell Johnson, an investigative technician with the Lakewood Police eft Investigation Team.
Department leadership tasked the team, which includes detectives, analysts and technicians, with developing the Auto eft Reduction & Recovery program. e initiative has since been recognized in the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin as a model for other agencies.
“Auto theft has real and serious impacts for our community,” Lakewood Police Chief Philip Smith said. “On an individual level, it causes nancial hardship and takes away the victim’s transportation. It also demands a great deal of law enforcement resources, and it a ects premiums we all pay for auto insurance.”
e department launched a simple but effective program to address the issue: distributing Apple AirTags and Tile trackers to residents. ese devices allow residents to monitor their vehicles and share location data with police if their cars are stolen.
Johnson said the e ort reduced thefts and signi cantly increased chances of a quick recovery and o ered a cost-e ective, community-driven approach to combating a growing crime trend.
Nearly 4,000 vehicles, zero thefts
During the rst six months of the rollout, Lakewood o cers reported:
More than 1,500 vehicles were enrolled, and only one was stolen. It was recovered within 24 hours.
By the end of the one-year program, nearly 4,000 vehicles were protected, and none were reported stolen.
e lawsuit began when Kairoi Residential, developers of a planned 412-unit luxury apartment building at Belmar Park, sued the city, claiming the 2024 ordinance, which prevents developers from paying fees instead of dedicating land for parks, violates state law.
On Jan. 14, a Je erson County judge granted Kairoi a preliminary injunction, allowing the apartment project to proceed while the case progresses.
Lakewood didn’t oppose Kairoi’s request for the injunction, leading some residents to believe this inaction signaled to the court that the ordinance had little legal standing.
Now, they’re asking a judge to let them intervene.
Earlier this month, Kentner led a motion to intervene in the Belmar Park lawsuit, arguing that the city is not adequately defending the parkland ordinance.
King Soopers takes steps to handle strike
Grocer hires temp workers to keep stores open
BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN
As day one of a planned two-week walkout began, about a dozen King Soopers employees were up before dawn on ursday, pacing in front of their store in Centennial. Some walked the perimeter on the sidewalks as cars passed by. All carried white signs with red lettering asking customers to not patronize their employer.
eir union representative with United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 forbade them to speak to a reporter, even as one employee questioned why not? Why aren’t they allowed to tell the people why they are outside the store instead of inside?
At a Safeway parking lot across from a King Soopers on ursday, union ofcials held a news conference and said the workers at the two Pueblo stores would join the strike starting Friday. Local 7 President Kim Cordova said she spoke for the workers, who feared repercussions by the employer. Intimidation is part of the union’s multiple unfair labor practice claims against the Krogerowned chain.
“King Soopers has some big problems. I mean when you have 96 to 100% of the workers vote to strike, there’s real issues,” Cordova said. “And here we are for the second time in back-to-back bargaining cycles. Here we are with another unfair labor practice dispute against King Soopers.”
More than 10,000 King Soopers employees in the Front Range are involved, which is a few thousand more than three years ago when King Soopers walked out in January 2022. More contracts have expired. ey’re protesting unfair labor practices, which allege surveilling and disrupting discussions between workers and union reps. A “last best and nal o er” from the company was rejected in mid-January.
Not all union members walked out on day one. Workers in Colorado Springs voted last Friday to authorize a strike. But some of their contracts have not yet expired so they could join in the coming days, union o cials said.

Grocer preps for strike
ere are 77 Denver-area stores involved in ursday’s work stoppage. Because of that, King Soopers hired temporary workers to keep the stores open, spokesperson Jessica Trowbridge said Wednesday.
“We have an obligation to the community to make sure they have access to fresh and a ordable food and pharmacy services, so we’ve gone ahead and hired temporary sta to come and help us serve the community at this time,” Trowbridge said.
All stores will remain open, though locations impacted by the strike will operate on limited hours. Stores will open between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m, with pharmacies open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the week. On Saturdays, pharmacy hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., closing from 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. for lunch. Pharmacies will be closed on Sundays.
All other stores in the state, including
two in Grand Junction, one in Fruita and one in Clifton. No strike vote has been announced yet.
Unproductive negotiations, heated accusations
Negotiations began in October on the new contract, which expired Jan. 5, and stopped inde nitely on Jan. 16. No further meetings were scheduled.
In unfair labor practice claims led with the National Labor Relations Board, the union said King Soopers was “illegally threatening members with discipline” for wearing union clothing or union buttons, surveilling workers in discussions with union sta and “gutting $8 million in retiree health bene ts for wage increases for active workers.”
To get the union back to the bargaining table, Cordova said, “We need the company to engage in good and fair bargaining, and they need to resolve the unfair labor practices. ey have to provide information that we need around sales.”
King Soopers pushed back on all the allegations. In a statement, the company said it responded to all the union’s requests, and even “dedicated six hours to answering every question raised,” during a one negotiation session. e company has “acted in full compliance with both the law and collective bargaining agreement obligations.”
It led its own unfair labor practice claims against the union for causing disruptions, such as mentioning a strike on Dec. 17, and rejecting company o ers without providing their own proposal for the workers. ( e union said it has made proposals.)
e company had hoped to avoid a strike, like the one three years ago. Earlier this week, King Soopers President Joe Kelley asked Local 7 to “reconsider their approach and prioritize the best interests of our associates, their members and the communities they serve.”
King Soopers has publicly shared its o er to workers and urged employees to look and vote on the proposed contract, instead of voting on unfair labor practices.
King Soopers o ered raises to boost store clerks’ hourly wage by $4.50 over four years, with top clerks earning above $27 an hour by 2028. Adding in health care and pension bene ts, that would be $29.48 an hour. e current wage is $22.68, the company said.
The union’s sticking points
While making sure grocery workers can make a livable wage is a big concern, Cordova said the top concern is inadequate sta ng, and that impacts consumers.
“Our ght over understa ng is real. Every customer sees that they’re waiting in long lines. ey’re seeing empty shelves. And there’s not a supply chain issue here. All the product is in the back room. ere’s just nobody there (to restock),” Cordova said. “ ey don’t have enough sta in the stores to properly change the price tags or prices in the system. So many customers’ experience (is) the price they’re paying is higher than what’s advertised. And that’s a big issue when people around the country are already upset about the high cost of groceries.”
Reyna Carpenter, the seafood manager at a King Soopers in Pueblo, said she joined the company a decade ago when there were four people working a shift in her department at a time. Now, there’s two. And sometimes she gets pulled over to the meat department to help.
If one of the shift workers is tagging items or restocking, that means there’s only one employee helping customers. And that’s what’s happening storewide, she said. When check out lines get longer, cashiers abandon the other chores. at means store shelves aren’t getting restocked or properly tagged with the new pricing for the week. Or there’s no shopping carts, so another sta er has to run out and gather them up in the parking lot.
“On ad days, it’s ridiculous,” said Carpenter, who is also on the union’s bargaining committee. “You have to rearrange everything. … at takes time. We used to have people that came in and worked with us. We had more sta ng in the morning and throughout the afternoon.”
Kroger owns 118 King Soopers and 32 City Market stores in Colorado. Not all are unionized.

Wheat Ridge invests in high-tech scans to fix roads
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Wheat Ridge is ditching the oldschool “ x it when it breaks” approach to road repairs and replacing it with high-tech pavement scans and a data-driven strategy to keep streets smoother longer, according to city Director of Public Works Maria D’Andrea.
D’Andrea explained that this modern approach means repairs are no longer based on guesswork or complaints but on a standardized rating system called the Pavement Condition Index, a tool developed by the Army Corps of Engineers.
e rating system assigns each street a score from 0 to 100 based on cracks, potholes and other issues. Wheat Ridge’s current average is 66, meaning most roads are in fair-to-good condition.
“We’re trying to be more thoughtful about how we identify streets,” D’Andrea said. “Instead of xing one road here and another across town, we’re focusing on zone-based maintenance, so work is more e cient and coordinated.
“We now have a defensible system,” D’Andrea continued. “When someone calls asking why their street isn’t being repaved, we can point to the data.” e goal? Get the most life out of our roads while spending taxpayer dollars wisely, D’Andrea said.
Saving streets before they fall apart
Instead of waiting until roads fail, the city also invests in preventative treatments such as slurry seals and chip seals to protect streets that are in decent shape.
“We’re not just focusing on the worst streets rst. We also invest in roads that are still in good condition to keep them from deteriorating,” D’Andrea said. is proactive approach is critical in Colorado, where freeze-thaw cycles and intense sun exposure cause the pavement to break down faster.
“Water seeps into cracks, expands when it freezes, and causes more damage,” D’Andrea explained. “On top of that, the sun oxidizes asphalt, drying it out and making it more brittle.”
To keep roads in the best shape possible, Wheat Ridge follows a threetiered strategy:
- Routine maintenance: Crack sealing and pothole patching to prevent further damage.
- Preventative maintenance: Slurry seals and chip seals to extend road life.
- Corrective maintenance: Resurfacing and full-depth reclamation for severely deteriorated roads.
Wheat Ridge is rolling out an interactive online map so residents can see upcoming road work in their neighborhoods. In the meantime, those curious about the city’s road repair plans can contact the O ce of Public Works for more details.

Colorado Environmental Film Festival Returns to Golden on February 21-23
There’s excitement building about the possibility of the Sundance Film Festival coming to Boulder, but we already have a nationally renowned environmental film festival that takes place every February right here in Golden.
The Colorado Environmental Film Festival (CEFF) is a juried film festival that lives up to its name, bringing all kinds of film — long-form, shorts, children’s films, and animated films — for a weekend run that includes awards, filmmaker Q&As, and more.
I recommend the All Access pass for $99, because it not only includes entry to all screenings but also includes streaming access for most of the films for seven days after the festival. Buy it at https://ceff.net/tickets. There are three screening rooms at the Green Center on the Colorado School of Mines campus, so that’s the only way to see your favorite films which might be scheduled simultaneously. Go to https://ceff2025.eventive.org/films for a complete list of the films.
Denver which manufactured the plutonium triggers for thousands of nuclear weapons.
As an aside, one of our broker associates, Kathy Jonke, was an environmental geophysicist for the contractor working onsite at Rocky Flats during the cleanup. She recommended this film before I saw it was on CEFF’s schedule. Ask her sometime about her work.
are family-friendly and free. Bring the kids!
Opening night is Friday the 21st at 7:00 in the Green Center’s auditorium, featuring an 86-minute feature film, “Bring Them Home” about a small group of Blackfoot people who established the first wild buffalo herd on their ancestral lands. It is followed by a discussion with Executive Producer Melissa Grumhaus.
My choice of screenings at 10 a.m. on Saturday is the one which includes “Our Movement Starts Here,” a documentary about the fight against a toxic landfill in North Carolina.
At Sunday's 12:15 p.m. Lunch & Learn session, hear from members of the Denver Electric Vehicle Council and get the inside scoop on a variety of electric vehicles. Talk to the owners about their real life experiences driving an EV in Colorado and check out several models in the Electric Vehicle Roundup outside the Green Center from 9:15 to 3:30.
For the 1 p.m. screenings on Sunday, I have chosen the set which has five films focusing on sustainable home construction. This includes the “Heart of a Building” PBS program about John Avenson’s net-zero home in Westminster which was aired in January on Channels 6 and 12.
The closing set of screenings starting at 3:30 on Sunday includes the “Half-Life of Memory” mentioned above, plus two other films: one about lead poisoning of birds and
animals who feed on the carcasses of animals killed with bullets containing lead; plus one about the large amount of water consumed in the manufacture of computer ships.
A big part of CEFF’s mission is to educate, with a yearly focus on young filmmakers and films aimed at school age children from grade 4 through high school. These programs are always free, too. So, starting at 10 a.m. on Friday the 21st, prior to the festival’s opening, there is a “CEFF 4 Classrooms Field Trip” in the Bunker auditorium at the Green Center. It is for schools, youth organizations, home schools and more, designed to share a variety of youth-friendly environmental films. In addition to showing nine short films, two of them by young filmmakers, it includes a Q&A session with filmmakers and other field experts related to the film topics. Register at info@ceff.net,
Attendees will have plenty to choose from at this year’s CEFF, including 9 films with ties to Colorado, 60+ feature-length and short films from 17 countries, and ten world premiere screenings. The weekend also promises thoughtful discussions with filmmakers, panels, and a vibrant Eco-Expo in which to connect with environmentally conscious brands and organizations.
Golden Real Estate has been a sponsor of CEFF for most of its 16 years, so you’ll see our ad in the program inviting you to visit our nearby office in downtown Golden. We’ll also have a booth at the Eco-Expo in the lobby of the Green Center where we’ll have an up-to-the-minute display of all the active solar powered homes in the Denver MLS. We’d be happy to take you to see any of them!
It makes sense that we’re the only real estate brokerage sponsoring CEFF, because we are experts in all aspects of “green” building, and half of us drive electric cars. We have also become experts in “hardening” homes to resist wildfires, so please ask us questions or read some of my previous columns on those topics at www.JimSmithColumns.com
CEFF groups films by several categories, including Activism & Environmental Justice; Adventure; Consumption & Waste; Energy & Climate Chaos & Fossil Fuels; Health & Food; Land Use & Conservation; Wildlife; and Water, Rivers & Oceans
Among the films at this year’s festival, I’m personally looking forward to a few particular films. First on that list is “Half-Life of Memory: America’s Forgotten Atomic Bomb Factory,” a 55minute documentary about the sloppy operation and incomplete cleanup of Rocky Flats, the government’s plant between Boulder and
My choice of screenings at 1 p.m. is the one with three films about forests in Canada, Tasmania and on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula.
Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. screening of four different films includes “Way the Wind Blows,” a short documentary about one family’s journey of recovery from the 2022 Marshall Fire in Boulder County, which destroyed 1,000 homes. That set also includes two interesting films about glaciers.
Between the 3:30 screenings and the 7:15 screenings on Saturday will be an “Evening Soiree,” a party with drinks and plant-based foods. Tickets for either of those screenings (or the All Access pass) includes an invitation to this party. This is when the awards for the best films will be presented in the Green Auditorium, along with the world premiere screening of “The Snake and the Whale,” a 90-minute investigative documentary that uncovers antiquated dams on the Lower Snake River that are driving the extinction of fish and killer whales.
I’m going to attend the 7:15 set of three films, one of which is “Responsible,” about the interplay of capitalism and environmentalism. The subtitle of the film is “There Is No Business to Be Done on a Broken Planet.”
On Sunday morning, I have chosen the screenings which include an animated short about invasive fauna and flora in Hawaii, a bird oasis on an abandoned golf course, overgrazing versus regenerative grazing in Nevada, a Tibetan nomad with a camera, and a threatened wetland between the banks of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. Both of the Sunday morning film screenings
ADU
Law Enables Homeowners to Invest on Their Own Lot
Beginning in July, homeowners in Colorado will be able to create an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) within their home (preferably a walk-out basement), over their detached garage, or by building a tiny home or casita in their backyard.
The enabling law was HB24-1152. Until this law was passed, local zoning regulations made it difficult to get approval to build an ADU; but now local governments can not block ADU development using zoning regulations, although other local laws, such as building codes, still apply.
Many homes, such as single-story homes with no basement on a small lot with no detached garage, will not be able to take advantage of this law, but many others can, and that’s the purpose of the law — namely, to increase the housing supply through increased density. Before this new law, there wasn’t much that Colorado homeowners could do to increase the housing supply. Now they can, and increase their wealth in the process.
In September Colorado Biz had an article that described how the law works: “ADUs add housing units with minimal impacts to infrastructure and with increased compact infill development. They provide intergenerational living options and enable child or eldercare and aging in place. Because they’re small, ADU rents are typically low.”
The financial information for a specific ADU varies greatly, dependent on the particular ADU and site costs. That makes the numbers used in the article only rough estimates. The cost of an ADU is dependent on choices made by the homeowner who is installing the unit. It can be very expensive, but there are ways to keep it reasonable. Regardless, the article is a helpful summary.
One of the many reasons cited for expanding the use of ADUs is to increase the availability of affordable housing, although this rationale has been questioned. There are many things that can make ADUs costeffective, thus increasing affordability (both for purchase and rent).
Two of the factors that contribute to affordability are the size of the units and the cost of the land. ADUs are small but not uncomfortably small, and day-to-day life is unchanged. They tap into a trend of smaller living spaces.
For a homeowner considering putting in an ADU, it’s one real estate investment that includes no cost for land. ADUs use space that is, at best, underutilized, and already owned. This is a big plus where the value of land is high.
As part of the new law, the legislature appropriated money and tasked the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) to develop programs to enable homeowners with moderate means to afford construction of an ADU. The idea is to jump-start ADU finance in the private sector.
Finally, units assembled off-site (referred to as manufactured, modular, or prefab) can reduce cost significantly, and have other advantages such as shorter lead times, far less on-site construction, environmental benefits, etc. A Colorado company that specializes in manufactured detached ADUs is Verdant Living (www.verdantliving.us). The owner of that company, John Phillips, is happy to discuss ADU options with you. Because of the huge variety of situations where ADUs are possible, he tries to recommend options that might work, often not involving his company. He can be reached at 303-717-1962 (voice or text).
His is a Denver business. Another player in the field of manufactured housing on the national level is Boxabl (www.boxabl.com), which specializes in factory-made homes that literally unfold after being delivered on a standard width flatbed trailer. Its “Casita” is a 361-square-foot modular home, offering a stylish, efficient living space with a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. It’s delivered with all-electric appliances (including laundry) and 100-amp electric service. It is currently priced at $60,000. It must be installed on a foundation prepared with electrical and plumbing hookups. It is built to meet building codes.
Recently, the company introduced the “Baby Box,” a 120-square-foot living space built to RV standards. Easy setup, no special equipment or foundation needed. The MSRP of Baby Box is $30,000 with introductory pricing of $19,999. It comes, like a mobile home, on a frame with permanent wheels. It too has a bathroom and kitchen, but with water tank and waste tank like any RV. It is intended for delivery to mobile home parks.
Schools outline plans amid ICE enforcement
Districts seek to balance compliance, student needs
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As federal immigration policies evolve and schools are no longer o limits for immigration enforcement operations, districts across the Denver metro area are facing di cult questions about how to respond if Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrive on campus.
As a result, Colorado Community Media reporters reached out to the school districts in our coverage area to ask how they’re addressing these concerns with their sta and the communities they serve.
While the approaches vary, a common theme emerged: school leaders are seeking to balance legal compliance with their responsibility to protect students and maintain trust with the communities they serve.
Je erson County Public Schools
Je co Public Schools updated its website on Jan. 28 to include a statement acknowledging heightened fear and anxiety in the community, with some parents and educators worried about what will happen if federal immigration agents visit schools.
“Over the past week, America’s federal immigration policies and practices have been changing rapidly,” the statement reads. “Sensitive places, including schools, are now no longer insulated from immigration enforcement.”
In response, Je co has compiled several resources for families, including:
– “Know Your Rights” sessions o ered by local community organizations.
– An FAQ page addressing common immigration-related concerns.–
– Family ambassadors to help immigrant families navigate district and community resources.
– A Family Emergency Preparedness Plan to help parents outline steps in case of an unexpected Je co also guided principals, emphasizing the importance of minimal disruption and calm, professional interactions if an enforcement situation arises. e district’s legal team will require federal agents to provide proof of identity, agency a liation and a legally valid warrant before granting access to district property.
“If agents visit a school, a Je co district administrator will support the school and meet the agency on behalf of the district, with guidance from our legal team,” the district said.
School board member Erin Kenworthy said the board is drafting a resolution regarding its commitment to protecting all students for an upcoming board meeting.
Adams 12 Five Star Schools
e Adams 12 school board unanimously adopted a resolution at its meeting on Jan. 15 a rming its commitment to protecting students and families regardless of immigration status. e resolution states that the district will continue its practice of not inquiring about the immigration status of students or families and will follow all legal guidelines for protecting con dential information.
It also establishes speci c procedures if immigration o cials attempt to access school campuses or student records.
“ e Five Star District shall utilize its lawful powers to protect our students and families, regardless of immigration status,” the resolution states.
Among the key provisions, according to the district:
– e district will not voluntarily provide information about students or families to federal immigration authorities.
– Any immigration o cial’s request to enter a school or district property must rst be forwarded to the District’s Legal Department.
– e same applies if an immigration ofcer seeks to communicate with a student while under the district’s supervision.
e board also emphasized that it would continue to support families in updating emergency contact information and in creating emergency plans in case of sudden family disruptions.
Littleton Public Schools
Littleton Public School’s Chief Communications O cer Diane Leiker said she appreciated the opportunity to participate in a story on this issue but respectfully declined.
Adams 14 School District
Adams 14 Superintendent Karla Loría took to Facebook on Jan. 23 to con rm the district’s commitment to safeguarding students and protecting their educational rights.
Cherry Creek follows the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which safeguards student records. All requests for student information from agencies, including ICE, must be submitted to the district’s O ce of Legal Services.
– Handling ICE Requests on School Grounds: If ICE agents approach a Cherry Creek school seeking access to a student, they will be directed to the district’s legal o ce before any action is taken.
– Mental health and safety resources: e district’s mental health sta is available to provide support for students and sta who may be experiencing anxiety or fear.
“No one is allowed on our properties, inside our schools, or is allowed to have access to information without lawful justi cation and approval of the district,” she said. “Law enforcement is required to have a warrant signed by a federal or state judge in order to enter our properties, our schools or to gain access to data.”
Referring to a 1982 U.S. Supreme Court decision determining that all children, documented or not, have an equal right to an education under the United States Constitution, Loria said, “Adams 14 stands behind these absolute truths. We are here to safeguard the constitutional rights of our students and those who bless our schools. Our district will remain a safe place for learning, particularly as that is our constitutionally endowed mission.”
Loria encouraged families to know their rights and directed them to resources on the district’s website.
Cherry Creek Schools
Cherry Creek’s Superintendent Christopher Smith sent a message to sta and families on Jan. 24 rea rming the district’s commitment to supporting all students and ensuring schools remain safe spaces amid growing concerns over federal immigration policies.
“We remain consistently and steadfastly committed to serving all students and ensuring our schools are safe places where all students feel loved, valued, invested in, and seen,” Smith wrote. “Every student is welcome; every sta member is welcome in Cherry Creek. at doesn’t change, no matter what the future holds.”
Cherry Creek Schools outlined speci c protocols already in place to protect students’ rights and privacy, including:
– Right to free public education: e district emphasized that all children residing in the U.S. have a right to public education, regardless of their immigration status. Smith referenced the 1982 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Plyler v. Doe, which rea rmed this right.
– Student information protections:
– Community partnerships: Cherry Creek Schools is working with local and state agencies, law enforcement, and community groups to prepare for scenarios that may impact students and families. Smith also emphasized that keeping sta informed about legal and policy changes remains a district priority. However, the district didn’t provide speci c guidance on what steps schools should take if federal agents arrive on campus without notice.
“I don’t have all the answers for you today, but my commitment to you is clear,” Smith said. “We are a community that values all people.”
Englewood Schools
Englewood Schools Superintendent Joanna Polzin said the district is committed to student safety and is ensuring families have timely access to resources on the district’s website.
“I have communicated with my leaders on this topic,” Polzin said. “Our sta is dedicated to the well-being of our students. As we navigate these changes, student safety will remain our top priority.” She emphasized that all school sta have been directed to follow district procedures, which include:
– Only releasing students to individuals listed in the district’s student information system and requiring proper identi cation before any release.
– Contacting the Superintendent and Director of Safety and Security immediately if an immigration o cer arrives at a school.
– Verifying the agent’s credentials and documentation before taking action and seeking guidance from legal counsel.
“Englewood Schools will continue to provide safe learning spaces for our students and sta ,” Polzin said.
Districts across the Denver metro area are grappling with how best to respond to community concerns about the possibility of immigration enforcement o ers showing up at schools.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN EXPECTING A NEW KITCHEN?
By Jason Harris of Foothills Kitchen & Bath
As Spring nears, customers appear to be thinking about more than cleaning their houses — they’re often considering wholesale changes. Whenever they say they’re contemplating a kitchen remodel, many know they’d like shiny new cabinets and counters, but have the usual suspect of questions that they don’t have any idea how the process works, nor how much it will cost.
Let’s get the painful part over with first. Unfortunately, there is often sticker shock. For most of us, shopping at the Big Boxes is our baseline, but we’re usually buying supplies for maintenance, and those generally cost less than what’s used for remodeling. There’s a reason why.
If stores carry inventory, manufacturers give them better pricing. However, even warehouses don’t have unlimited space, so they have to choose what items to stock — meaning what to buy in bulk at discount — or which to Special Order at higher pricing. The Big Boxes are designed to move thousands of products daily, so their goal is selling quantity. Consequently, they stock products used more for repair than remodel; further, they focus on lower price points. To use a car analogy, it’s like the warehouses will stock all the compacts (plus maybe a couple of colors in mid-size); in contrast, smaller dealers know their pricing advantage is on the mid to full-sizes, so that’s what they display.
You need to be aware, however, that differences between products can be internal; sometimes it’s not as easy to compare the quality between faucets or cabinets as it is between car models. In other words, car buyers know an Accord is larger and has a more powerful engine than a Civic, so they understand the price difference. That’s harder
when the boxes on the wall look the same. Consumers are effectively thinking, “Wow, why are these Accords so pricey?? I just saw a bunch of them at the Big Box for much less,” when the truth is they had seen Civics.
If you know your budget, it will save time. Imagine walking into an auto dealer and telling one salesman you want to spend $20K, while to another you say you can afford $30K; they’ll show you different models. Same with us. We know some manufacturers give more bang for the buck, while others offer more finish. If we have an idea where you’d like the overall cost of your project to fall, we’ll show you the products we think will help you hit that number.
Regarding the process, the first thing you need to be prepared for is this will take time. Whatever you pick will be in your house for 20-30 years, so don’t rush your decisions. If someone has never done a kitchen remodel before, we’ll spend time explaining each product category to help them understand the range of quality and prices among the various cabinets, counters and flooring. We’re pretty sure the customer will rinse and repeat this research at another two or three stores, before deciding where they felt most comfortable.
Maybe on the first visit, the homeowners had brought in dimensions and photos that we’ll use to begin a CAD drawing, while others will bring them along on a return visit; or perhaps we’ll go to their house to take our own measurements. Depending on how busy we are, we’ll generally be able to email first renderings within a few days. These are free services for us, but bear in mind that some stores will charge for this.
While this sounds quick enough, it’s actually just getting started. Maybe the homeowners discover the cabinets will cost more than they were expecting, so we’ll make a new drawing in another brand; maybe they’ve decided they want us to upscale.
Finally, one day they’ll say, “Let’s go ahead,” which starts a more rigid calendar. Cabinets take about 4-8 weeks to arrive; so most contractors would probably tear out the old kitchen maybe two weeks earlier and begin installing new flooring, electrical and plumbing. Hanging cabinets goes fairly quickly, so in 3-5 days the fabricator should be able to measure for counters. But it could take a week or more before they are installed, so you might want to consider keeping the old sink and having it reinstalled temporarily over plywood.
Even in a perfect world, be prepared for delays. There could be shipping damage, misorders or warranty issues; even more often, though, are change orders. Once we’re in the bustle of the project, clients will ask, “What if we replace all the doors or windows or lights or….?” It’s for these reasons that we suggest homeowners establish a slush fund of both time and money — it helps decrease the angst.
Child care enrollment freeze leaves families in the cold
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For thousands of working parents in Colorado, child care is more than a service — it’s the key to economic stability. But as counties across the state freeze new enrollments in the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program due to funding shortages, families who rely on this crucial support are left in limbo.
“We need an additional $70 million just to maintain where we are at with CCCAP,” said Heather Tritten, president and CEO of Colorado Children’s Campaign. “And right now, CCCAP only serves 10% of the families that qualify.”
“When families don’t have a ordable child care, they can’t work,” she continued. “And when they can’t work, they become more reliant on government assistance just to survive.”
is disruption has a generational impact as well. Research from University of Chicago economics professor James Heckman shows that children in high-quality early learning programs are likelier to succeed in school and have higher lifetime earnings.
“Child care isn’t just about parents. It’s also about giving kids the early learning foundation they need,” Smith said. “When kids lose access to care, we’re widening the achievement gap before they even reach kindergarten.”
Across the state, counties including Denver, Arapahoe, Douglas, Je erson, Larimer and Weld have paused new CCCAP enrollments, citing a budget shortfall fueled by rising program costs and the end of federal pandemic relief funds.
“We knew this cli was coming,” Tritten said. “ e pandemic relief funding allowed many child care providers to stay open and helped families a ord care, but without sustainable investment, we’re now seeing the consequences.”
Why is CCCAP enrollment frozen?
CCCAP subsidizes child care costs for low-income families, allowing parents to work or attend school while their children receive licensed care. However, a combination of expired federal funding, increased provider wages mandated by the federal government and growing program costs has left counties unable to support new families.
In 2023-24, nearly 25,000 children bene ted from CCCAP, according to data provided by the Colorado Children’s Campaign. But with funding stretched thin, many counties have shut the door on new applicants.
“To put it simply, the cost of providing care for each child is going up, but our funding has not increased to go along with that,” said Tara Noble, Je erson County Human Services program manager.
e freeze is devastating for families already struggling with the high cost of care, explained Paula Smith, chief impact o cer with Clayton Early Learning in Denver.
In 2023, the average cost of child care in Colorado was $12,750 per year for infants and toddlers, according to Child Care Aware of America.
e U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that families spend no more than 7% of their income on child care. Yet in Colorado, a family earning the median household income of $133,443 would need to spend 30.2% of their earnings to care for two children. e nancial strain on single-parent households is even greater.
Families trapped in the cycle of poverty
“Making child care a ordable to families directly impacts their ability to work and earn a living, Smith said. “Without a support system like CCCAP, we risk eroding the economic foundation for the entire state, weakening the workforce and stalling future growth.
According to data from the Colorado Information Marketplace, the state already faces a shortage of licensed child care slots, with only enough capacity to serve 65% of children under ve whose parents are working. With CCCAP enrollment paused, even fewer families will have access to a ordable care.
“If you’re an employer and your workers don’t have child care, they can’t come to work,” Smith said. “ is isn’t just a family issue. It’s an economic issue.”
Is there a solution?
“We need a long-term funding solution,” Smith emphasized. “ e state has recognized the importance of early childhood education, but we can’t make progress if families can’t even access care.”
Tritten echoed that urgency.
“ e state legislature needs to invest more in CCCAP to address the funding shortfall and expand access to the program, as the current ‘status quo’ isn’t good enough,” she said while acknowledging the state’s nancial situation makes it challenging to nd an immediate x.
“We have TABOR (the Taxpayer Bill of Rights), which makes it even more di cult, so the state legislature can’t appropriate funds the way other states might be able to, so as we’re looking at it, it’s a bit of a puzzle right now in terms of how we address the need.”
In the meantime, families a ected by the freeze are left with few alternatives.
“ is is an issue that impacts all of us, whether we have children or not,” Smith said. “Without access to a ordable child care, we risk weakening the workforce and stalling future economic growth. It’s time for policymakers to step up.”
“If we can support families with high-quality child care that’s a ordable, then we start solving some other problems for that family,” Tritten added. “We want families to be stable and thriving, and we want children to be in a place where they are being prepared for school.”
Tritten stressed the importance of prioritizing child care assistance in state discussions.
“We need to encourage our legislators to think about this and to invest in child care assistance and recognize that this is a program that helps solve bigger problems for families and helps create stability,” she said. “If we can help create stability through child care, then we are helping promote work and school and all of these other things as well.”

LAWSUIT
A motion to intervene is a legal request that allows a third party to join a lawsuit when they have a signi cant stake in the outcome.
City faces backlash over legal strategy
At an earlier Lakewood City Council meeting, residents demanded answers about why the city had not taken a stronger stance.
“Citizens shouldn’t have to hire lawyers just to have a say in their own city, or le a motion to intervene or raise money to hire a lawyer just to be heard,” wrote Regina H. on the city’s public comment page. “If the city were doing its job, it would be defending its own ordinances.”
Council member Dave Rein acknowledged the situation’s complexity.
“We shouldn’t be surprised by where we’re at. It’s a mess,” Rein said. “ ere are at least three pages of issues that the city has to deal with beyond the lawsuit itself, and what’s happened is exactly what we thought was going to happen: the city got sued, and housing development has stopped.”
Rein commented that the judge likely granted the injunction because Kairoi had a strong legal case.
Still, residents pushed back, arguing the court had only heard Kairoi’s argument because Lakewood had not yet responded to the complaint.
“At the end of last night’s meeting (Jan. 28), Councilor Rein made a couple of interesting comments,” Lenore Herskovitz said on the public comment page. “One was regarding the judge granting Kairoi a preliminary injunction because he (the judge) felt in all likelihood the plainti could win on the merits of the case.
“What the Councilor failed to mention was at that point, the judge had ONLY heard the Plainti ’s position because the city did not oppose the injunction and had not led their response to the complaint,” Herskovitz continued. Rein also addressed the growing criticism, emphasizing that the city’s legal team is ful lling its responsibilities.
“I want to address the comments from a number of folks (who said) the city is not defending the lawsuit,” Rein said. “Everyone on the city’s legal team, in-house and the folks who’ve been hired, took an oath when they became members of the bar, and they also have ethical duties to represent the client. is means zealously defending this ordinance.”
Still, the coalition believes the city has actively worked against the ordinance rather than defend it. ey argue that city o cials have prioritized developer interests and have not been transparent about their legal strategy.
“Instead of openly working and sharing updated information with constituents to produce a collaborative ordinance, council chose to work behind the scenes,” Herskovitz said.
What happens next?
A judge will now decide whether to grant the motion to intervene, formally allowing residents to enter the lawsuit.
Lakewood’s o cial response to Kairoi’s lawsuit was due on Jan. 28, but the judge granted an extension through March 1.
Meanwhile, the council met in executive session on Feb. 3 to receive legal advice about the lawsuit. It then held a study session to hold a rst reading of a sta -drafted ordinance around a parkland and open space policy that the city began working on in 2023 but later shelved when the Save Belmar Park initiative began.
“Since the citizen-led ordinance went into e ect on Dec. 7, we’ve been hearing from residents every day about how it’s adversely impacting their projects or making them completely untenable,” Lakewood Mayor Wendi Strom said. “No residential building permits have been issued since the ordinance took effect, and we are now seeing instances where even single-family homeowners are required to dedicate part of their landscaping.
“If you check LakewoodSpeaks.org, you’ll see that some projects that have gone through planning submissions ve or more times are now being forced to completely redesign in order to comply with the new ordinance,” Strom continued.
Among the proposed changes in the city’s proposal, sta and consultants recommended retaining parkland dedication requirements where feasible while allowing alternative park types, such as privately maintained plazas or small green spaces in high-density areas.
ey also proposed increasing the cash-inlieu fees to re ect rising land values, updating how parkland needs are calculated based on new census data and eliminating restrictive park districts to ensure funds can be spent where parks are needed most.
e council will hold a second reading on Feb. 10 and a third reading on Feb. 24. Both will include a public hearing. ose interested in making public comments can sign up at Lakewoodspeaks.org.

Residents opposed to the Belmar Park development passed out informational
Alittle more than 16 years ago, I faced an interesting situation at work. e most outgoing and social member of our leadership group was taking a di erent job and leaving. is meant there was no one on the team who was comfortable striking up conversations with total strangers and building relationships with those unknown members of the school population. It was obvious to me that the team needed someone who could be that outgoing extrovert.
I am not sure why, but I decided I should become that outgoing person the team needed. So, this reserved, quiet with strangers, most comfortable with family, pseudo introvert decided that he was going to become an expert at interacting with strangers.
I decided that I would call my experiment “100 days of Smiles” in a nod to my youth when AM radio stations like KIMN would mark summer with “100 days” promotions. I determined that over those weeks, I would go out of my

way each day to talk for even a few minutes with someone I did not know. It would mean taking chances that were uncomfortable. I simply was not the kind of person who would out of the blue say something to a total stranger. But I stepped into it and started intentionally nding new people to talk with each day.
e rst two weeks were painful. I often felt awkward and ill-equipped for such an undertaking. But I plodded on. It got easier as the weeks progressed, and then one day, near the end of my experiment, my wife, Beth, and I were on a walk around our neighborhood. Because it was close to Halloween, there was a family out decorating their front yard. I stopped walking and struck up a conversation with the parents as they worked
on the decorations. I told them how much I appreciated seeing their tombstones each year and talked about the decorations that I liked most. We stood there talking for three or four minutes, said goodbye, and continued walking down the street.
We had gone maybe 10 steps when Beth, still looking straightforward, said quietly but loud enough for me to hear, “Who the hell are you and what have you done with my husband?”
I had done it! In 100 days, I had moved from a person who struggled to strike up conversations with strangers to someone who quite enjoyed acknowledging other people and engaging in conversation.
Since that day, when I struggle with something related to my MS, I think about those “100 days of Smiles” and remember that we have within us the ability to shape ourselves, to remake our perspectives, to change our path. Struggles are not fun, but when we understand our transformative personal ability, we unlock so much.
is week I hope you will take some time to consider your own initiative, your “100 days of whatever it is you need to reshape.” You can do it; I did. Take the step and commit to the 100 days. Make a difference for yourself and those around you. You’ve got this, I would love to hear about your “100 days” goal. I truly appreciate hearing about the ideas you nd valuable in these columns and how you use them to uplift those around you. ank you to everyone who has shared their stories with me so far. you can reach me at jim.roome@ gmail.com.

On the pursuit of beautiful plain roads
ne of my earliest childhood memories is walking down Federal Boulevard in Denver with my parents, older brother and a group of people as they all chanted “ se puede!” (“Yes we can!”)
It was a hot summer day, and I remember my feet hurting and feeling fatigued from the scorching sun. As a little girl, I didn’t understand why my parents had brought me and my brother to this marcha that led all the way to Civic Center Park. I kept telling my parents to just get in the car and drive alongside the people, but I was clearly missing the point.
I would ask my parents “Why are we marching?” “What is this for?” and they would explain, but in my mind I couldn’t grasp the concept. I couldn’t understand that people from a di erent country were considered “bad people” or “criminals” because they immigrated to the U.S. for a better life. I didn’t see the problem. To me it was as simple as moving from state to state here in the U.S.; to me they were my parents, my brother and my friends. However, as I tried to grasp the idea, to this day I remember hearing my mother’s voice as clear as day telling me, “Just say it with us: Sí se puede.” ose words have stayed with me since then. As my dad hoisted me up to his shoulders, I remember waving a little Mexican ag and chanting with everyone, and after that, the road seemed better. e burning sun didn’t feel so bad anymore.
GUEST COLUMN
tions were and are very limited. Even if you are trying to do the “right thing.”
And by the “right thing,” I mean living the American Dream of working until you have nothing left to offer, providing a good life to your children and yourself, and simply just working to the success and family values that this country preaches.
I saw it when my brother was in high school, as he was approaching graduation. He had a job o er that he was more than quali ed for. He went to the interview, and they thought he was the perfect t, but then the di cult question came: “Are you a U.S. citizen?” e answer was no.
Despite the challenges, that didn’t stop my brother or my parents from moving down the road. During a time like today, where I hear attacks on my immigrant brothers and sisters, friends and family members, I nd myself more worried than they are. ese days, I am often comforted by my immigrant parents who say, “Don’t worry. We can’t let fear rule our lives. We have to keep moving forward.”

ering anyone? A life where I can work, study and live in peace without being afraid?”
Over the years, I began to understand the concept more and more as I saw how it a ected the lives of my parents and my brother.
I saw it when my parents had to work every night, come home to get me and my brother ready for school and then go back to work with no hours of sleep. I would wonder why they couldn’t get different jobs with better work hours. en, when my dad was working in a toxic environment, I wondered why he couldn’t get a job that didn’t mistreat him.
As an undocumented person, the op-
It’s a bit ironic to say that I, a U.S.born citizen, am more scared of what’s to come than they are, but I think that’s a true testimony of how resilient they have become. It shows that no matter what, their spirit will never be crushed. I’m not thanking this system for making them resilient; I think they have always been resilient, and these are just the kind of people they are. Who wouldn’t want a kind, resilient and brave person on their team?
But I guess that doesn’t matter.
“It just feels like it’s never enough,” said State Rep. Elizabeth Velasco during an immigrant voices press conference at the state Capitol on Jan. 22.
“And I have still been told to go back to my country,” she said at the event. “ is is the reality for many of us, that we are told again and again that we don’t belong when we are making our nation better, when we are working in Colorado to make everyone’s lives better.”
We are not just a workforce; we are people who are trying to do the “right thing.” Perhaps people can say, “You are trying to do the right thing through the wrong way,” but that’s not true. Even if you try to do everything the right way, it’s not possible for everyone, because the system presented to us is not for us, sometimes.
I recently attended a community information session where people came seeking answers for their immigration cases and status adjustment cases. At the end of the day, as someone who has been there and done that, I saw people simply asking, “How can I have a better life, without hurting anyone, without both-
While it may feel like the future is bleak and that this feeling of dread will never leave until we get an answer to those questions, I have hope, thanks to the protests that have happened and are still going.
“May they not fall on the descent nor on the ascent of the path, may they nd no obstacles behind or ahead of them. Nor anything that strikes them. Grant them good roads, beautiful plain roads.”
I saw this quote from the Mayan text Popol Vuh at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. It’s a poetic but powerful way to describe the hope that perhaps things can change. Perhaps we can nd some answers, but until then, I hope that one day we can eventually come across beautiful plain roads, and that we don’t lose hope amid the uncertain roads ahead.

Take a Sonic Trip to New Orleans with the CJRO
It seems like as long as New Orleans has been around, it’s been a cultural hub. And one of its most impactful exports is jazz — legends like Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton and the Marsalis family all hail from the city.
To celebrate the immortal music that comes from the Crescent City, the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra (CJRO) Sextet presents “A Night in New Orleans” with Tatiana LadyMay May eld in two special performances. e rst is at 3 p.m. at Sunday, Feb. 16 at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway, and the second is at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 21 at the Parsons eatre, 1 E. Memorial Parkway in Northglenn.
COMING ATTRACTIONS
CSO Scores The Infinity Saga at Boettcher Marvel Studios’ execution of e In nity Saga is one of the crowning cinematic achievements of this century, and the music for each lm and character add to the unifying experience of seeing everyone join together at the story’s end. e Colorado Symphony is hosting a celebration of the music and lms with its In nity Saga Concert Experience
“New Orleans is the place where jazz took root,” said May eld, a vocalist who has been making a name for herself all over the country. “For this show, we’re embracing the city as a melting pot of music. It’s going to have di erent vibes throughout — funk, classics and original works written to t in with the theme.”
e CJRO Sextet features bandleader Jared Cathey (saxophone/reeds), Shane Endsley (trumpet/horns), Adam Bartczak (trombone), Tom Amend (piano), Eric Hitt (bass) and Dru Heller (drums). It’s led by artistic director Drew Zaremba.
“We’re not only doing music written in New Orleans, but also music written about New Orleans or associated with the city,” he said. “ ere will be a lot of music folks know and recognize and some they’ll learn about. We want to remind people that jazz is more than historical — it’s a current, living art form.”
Zaremba and May eld went to the same college and she was featured on the CJRO’s fourth album, “Golden Lady.” In addition to her vocal work, she’s a musician, composer and educator who is currently the Assistant Professor of Contemporary Popular Music at Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver. May eld said she’s built up a sincere rapport with her fellow musicians and thoroughly enjoys performing with them.
“Everybody on stage is bringing 100 percent to the music and every time I’m on stage, it’s like I’m playing with friends and family,” May eld said. “ e CJRO is one of my favorite bands to play with.”
For Zaremba, all the CJRO’s performances are a chance to connect with audience members and remind them of the power of jazz as a dynamic music genre. And he hopes listeners will connect with the musical vibrancy of New Orleans.
“I hope audiences listen and dig in in a way they maybe haven’t before,” he said. “It’s a chance to really get into the tradition of this beautiful music and I hope people leave with big smiles from the great time they had.”

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Sarah Cooprider was born with an intellectual disability, autism, a severe speech/language disability, and a naturally happy disposition. Her mother noticed during elementary school that Sarah was most happy when she was busy and social.
Annette Cooprider, who lives in Golden with her husband and Sarah, tried several metro area programs for people with special needs. None gave Sarah the level of activity she needed to thrive. en Annette found INSPIRE, a program run through the Evergreen Park & Recreation District.
“My daughter can have behaviors, but she’s an angel when she’s in INSPIRE,” Annette said. “It prevents her from being isolated, which can be common with kids like mine. She gets to go horseback riding, learn archery, play basketball, go bowling and all these things that are available to typical young people. She’s busy and moving. It gives her a much more well-rounded lifestyle.”
Sarah is now 20 years old and a student at Je co Transition Services, a post-secondary program for young adults with special needs, during the school year. While she has limited time to participate in INSPIRE now, her summers are all about the program.
“I get nervous about getting her signed up because it’s so important for both of us — for her to have the experience and for me to have some time,” said Annette, who works full time. “I cherish the time in the summer when she is busy and I know she’s safe.”
INSPIRE stands for incorporating opportunities for social, physical and inclusive recreational experiences for individuals with disabilities. e 31-year-old program was developed and is led by its supervisor, Maren Schreiber, a beloved and well-known member of the Evergreen community.
e program’s weekly events include swimming, bowling and climbing. INSPIRE also partners with other programs for regular skiing and therapeutic horseback riding, and hosts golf, track events, theater outings, Rockies games and a wide range of other physical and social outings.
e program today has 137 participants, who have varying disabilities, from ages 5 to 53. Some of them have been with Schreiber for the entirety of the program.
“You would be surprised how much people with disabilities know and can do,” Schreiber said. “People just don’t really give them a chance. ey are amazing.
“ ey’re de nitely better skiers than me. I would never want to race them.”
Filling a need
In 1995, Schreiber was working as an Evergreen Park
and Recreation Department (EPRD) swim coach and personal trainer when the mother of a young boy with Down syndrome approached her.
“She said there’s nothing for people with disabilities up here,” Schreiber said. “My boss at the time was you can try (creating a program), but she wasn’t sure if we had enough people. en people came from Stapleton, Morrison, Bailey, Pine, all over.”
Today’s participants come from throughout the metro area, including Aurora, Arvada, Lakewood, Littleton and Golden. One former participant who now lives in Illinois returns regularly to go on INSPIRE outings.
“ ey make the trip because of how special it is and the connections they make,” EPRD Executive Director Cory Vander Veen said. “It changes their world.”
INSPIRE is funded partly through EPRD and supplemented by the New Year’s Day Evergreen Lake Plunge, the Evergreen Ice Melt contest and other fundraisers and individual donations.
e bene ts for Schreiber, her sta and volunteers, the participants and their families are priceless.
For Evergreen physician Todd Wisser and his physician wife, Kate, INSPIRE has been a gift for the family. Fifteen-year-old Cambria has cerebral palsy, autism and epilepsy, and had previously been in special needs programs in Michigan. When the family moved to Evergreen in 2017, they were astounded to discover INSPIRE.
“We didn’t know the high level of service we’d be getting here,” Todd said. “INSPIRE’s service to the special needs population is unsurpassed. ey have been immensely wonderful and supportive and thorough, just o ering tons of opportunity.
“Cambria’s done whitewater rafting, ziplining, skiing, gold mine tours, the Georgetown Loop railroad. It’s a profound, wonderful connection she has with that group.”
INSPIRE and Schreiber also provide needed respite for the family, which includes two other children.
“Cambria can be a challenge at times with those diagnoses,” Wisser said. “She can be emotional. And she’s a teenager. So that brings with it a lot of e ort and
energy that needs to go into her. Having the opportunities for respite that Maren and her team provide has been amazing. Not only is it valuable for Cambria, it’s hugely valuable for our other two children, and my wife and I.”
Further extending the bene ts, Wisser’s other two children have volunteered with INSPIRE.
Lakewood resident Lisa Arnold’s now 24-year-old daughter, Grace, who has Down syndrome, discovered the program 16 years ago. It’s been part of their lives since.
“Services vary between states, and we had moved from Ohio,” Lisa said. “It was really terri c to move to a small community and nd this absolutely amazing program that has such a variety. We’ve moved down the hill since, and we drive back for INSPIRE.”
Grace recently graduated from college with a science certi cate and is applying for a job with the Denver Zoo, but INSPIRE remains part of their lives.
“All these kids grew up together,” Lisa said. “And I’ve made some really great connections with other families. e disability world is kind of its own thing with Medicaid and all the processes and procedures. It’s nice to talk with other people that have some tips, and we’ve been able to share in our kids’ frustrations and successes.”
Rebecca Sobolevsky, a single parent who lives in Aurora, was desperate to nd a program for her now 20-year-old son, Ethan, when they moved from Chicago to Colorado in 2017.
“He’s tried a few other programs; Evergreen is always his favorite,” she said. “Some programs, it feels like it’s just a job for the sta . But the INSPIRE sta are super respectful, positive and fun. And I know they enjoy him, too. We drive some distance to get there, but it’s worth it.”
INSPIRE
Communitywide benefits INSPIRE and similar programs have improved the quality of life for participants.
And positive e ects of programs like INSPIRE radiate far beyond those who are directly impacted. Spending time or just being around people with disabilities helps others, giving them a fresh perspective on life and a sense of compassion and appreciation for others, according to information compiled by ALSO, an Oregon nonpro t that advocates for people with disabilities.
“I very rarely see kids like mine in the community,” An-
nette Cooprider said. “I think that can be isolating for families.
“For those people who are not part of this community, I think INSPIRE helps them to see these people are capable. ey are able to ride horses, zipline, climb a climbing wall, and all of those things.”
Community inclusion of people with disabilities evenimproves the economy. Research published by Nature. com shows employees with disabilities have high employer loyalty and motivation to work, and they remain at their jobs much longer than the general population with higher levels of job satisfaction.
INSPIRE’s participants are proof of what people with disabilities can accomplish.
“I have one young man who has autism who’s since graduated from Rutgers and is a lawyer,” Schreiber said.
“I have four girls who’ve gone on to college, one with Down syndrome. We have people who work at King Soopers. We have the whole gamut.”
Keeping the program nancially a oat is an ongoing challenge, Schreiber said. e average cost for each disabled person to participate is $20,000 a year, and the adaptive equipment required for some activities is expensive. It’s the only EPRD program that hosts fundraisers to o set its costs.
Finding funding is a necessary part of the job, but it’s not Schreiber’s overriding concern. What she cares about most are the individuals INSPIRE serves and the experiences it provides them.
“ ey get to have a quality of life doing all these different activities,” she said. “I always like to nd the next craziest thing to do. I’m all about pushing the envelope.”

Colorado tied for most educated state
Massachusetts pulls even for residents’ credentials
BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT
Colorado residents are still the most educated in the nation, but Massachusetts now shares the top spot, according to a report released in January.
is year’s Stronger Nation Report found that 63% of Colorado residents age 25 and older had an educational credential beyond a high school diploma in 2023, matching Massachusetts. at’s above the national average of 54.9% of residents who have earned college degrees or certi cates or an industry certi cation.
e gure is mostly unchanged from 2022, when about 62.9% of
Colorado’s residents held a college credential. However, the percentage of Native American Colorado residents with college degrees or credentials has fallen, a troubling sign after years of steady increases. e annual report from the Lumina Foundation aims for a national goal of 60% college attainment. (Lumina is a funder of Chalkbeat.)
Having an education beyond a high school diploma matters because it is crucial for state economic growth and individual nancial success, as high-wage jobs typically require a college credential.
Disparities persist
Colorado has long been among the most educated states, but racial disparities persist. While most racial group data remained steady, Native American college attainment fell for the second
consecutive year.
About 30.5% of Native American residents in 2023 held a college credential — a 3.2% decline from 2022. e drop stems from fewer college graduates aged 25-34. Only 22.3% of Native American residents in that age category have education beyond high school, now the lowest of any racial group in Colorado.
Hispanic residents had for years been the least likely to have a college education, but steady gains have changed that. Now, 30.6% hold a postsecondary credential. Meanwhile, 41.7% of Black, 63.1% of white, and 66.1% of Asian American residents have a credential or higher.

A new state tax credit worth thousands of dollars is now available to many Colorado families with children under 17.
It’s called the family a ordability tax credit and is expected to help hundreds of thousands of cash-strapped families across the state. Lawmakers and advocates who championed the credit during last year’s
legislative session see it as a chance to address Colorado’s high cost of living and pick up where the federal government left o when its expanded child tax credit expired in 2021. at expanded tax credit helped cut child poverty in America nearly in half to a historic low of 5.2% in 2021. By 2023, child poverty rates jumped to 13.7%.
Since then, several states have expanded or created their own child tax credits. Colo-
Parents: New tax credit could net you thousands
rado, which already had a child tax credit for families with young children, created the family a ordability credit to provide more nancial help to families already getting the child tax credit and give new aid to lower income families with older children. Here’s what you need to know about the new credit.
What is the family a ordability tax credit? It’s a new state tax credit for lower income
Colorado families with children under 17. It was created during the 2024 legislative session and is now available for the rst time to families ling their 2024 tax returns. Eligible families can get a tax credit of up to $3,200 for each child who was 5 or younger as of Dec. 31, 2024, and up to $2,400 for each child who was 6-16 years old as of Dec. 31, 2024. e size of the credit

Whole Foods lovers in Arvada will soon be able to shop locally at their favorite grocery store as the Amazonowned chain has received approval for a site plan that would bring the city’s rst location to the Northridge Shopping Center at 80th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard.
ere is no concrete timeline for when the grocery store will be open to the public, according to Iza Petrykowska, the executive director of the Arvada Economic Development Association.
AEDA has been working with Kimco Realty, which owns the Northridge Shopping Center, to bring Whole Foods to town for a little more than two years according to Petrykowska.
“ ey are currently under construction, and they’ve had a few minor (demolition) permits approved, so they’re just going through the site plan now and getting things rolling there,” Petrykowska said. “ ey did get their site plan amendment approved as well this year, and we’ll be kind of in construction mode for the foreseeable future.”
e location of the forthcoming gro-
“Just as with any grocery store, they’re having to install freezer and refrigerating areas for their produce and their food, and that’s probably going to be a big component of it,” Petrykowska said, “(along with) everything else that goes into the construction of a grocery store.”
Once opened, the Whole Foods will be the only location in Arvada, though there are nearby locations in Westminster, Lakewood and Golden.
e grocery chain faces steep competition in the local area, as the Northridge Shopping Center is already home to a Target and the adjacent shopping center at 77th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard has both a Sprouts and a Natural Grocers.
Nevertheless, the social media response to the announcement of a Whole Foods has drawn considerable interest — though some have lamented the lack of Trader Joe’s in town in the wake of news that neighboring Westminster will be getting one in the near future.
TAX CREDIT
goes down as family income goes up, eventually phasing out when single tax lers hit an adjusted gross income of more than $85,000 a year and joint tax lers hit an adjusted gross income of more than $95,000 a year.
How is it di erent from Colorado’s child tax credit?
e family a ordability tax credit is much bigger than the state’s child tax credit and includes families with older children. For example, a single mother who earned $30,000 in tax year 2024 and has a 4-year-old and 7-year-old would receive a family a ordability tax credit of $4,445 and a state child tax credit of $600. ( e state child tax credit is only available to lower income families with children under 6.)
It’s also worth noting that, unlike the state child tax credit, the family a ordability credit may not be available every year. at’s because lawmakers decided to o er it only in good economic times when the state collects enough surplus tax revenue to fund it. During bad years when the state collects too little surplus tax revenue, the state will reduce the amount of the credit or refrain from o ering it at all.
How do I know if I’m eligible for family a ordability credit?
Use the tax credit calculator from Get Ahead Colorado, which is run by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. e online tool asks a few questions about your
income and the number of kids you have and spits out a list of state and federal tax credits you may be eligible for, including the family a ordability credit.
e tax credit calculator is available in dozens of languages by clicking on the “Select Language” button in the top right corner.
I don’t make enough to pay income taxes. Am I still eligible?
Yes, the family a ordability tax credit is refundable. at means that even if eligible families owe nothing in taxes, the state will pay them the amount of the credit as long as they le a state tax return.
Families who earn enough to pay income taxes may still get money back if their family a ordability credit exceeds the amount they owe the state.
I don’t have a Social Security number. Am I still eligible?
Possibly. Parents who don’t have a Social Security number may be eligible for Colorado’s family a ordability tax credit if they have an Individual Taxpayer Identi cation number — or ITIN — and their eligible children have a Social Security number.
ITIN numbers are available from the Internal Revenue Service to certain individuals who are categorized as resident aliens or nonresident aliens, regardless of immigration status.
Will getting the family a ordability tax credit reduce my SNAP benefits?
No. Tax credits are not considered income and will not negatively a ect most bene ts, including SNAP, TANF, and Medicaid.
State-qualifying golf tournaments will remain despite majority vote
BY STEVE SMITH
SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
e days of state-qualifying tournaments for boys and girls golf will continue.
Over half of the Colorado High School Activities Association’s legislative council (33-28 with ve abstentions) voted to amend the CHSAA golf committee report and remove the regional tournaments. However the amendment required a two-thirds majority to be approved, so the tournament will remain.
Adam Baumgartner, chairman of CHSAA’s golf committee and the district athletic coordinator in the Pueblo District 70 School District, said his committee faced three issues in discussing regional tournaments: availability of ofcials, availability of host sites and availability of golf courses.
“We thought we should have some requirements when you’re hosting a qualifying tournament, a minimum of ve rounds at 18 holes per round, some yardage veri cation and some max rounds on a certain course,” he said. “We’ve done our due diligence to gure out how we can move forward facing these issues.”
Instead, schools must participate in a minimum of ve qualifying rounds to earn spots in the top 84 in IWanamaker rankings. ose 84 golfers will be chosen before the state tournament. It takes effect in the fall.
Je erson County School District Athletic Director Mike Hughes, a former golf committee chairman, had some concerns with the ratings platform, specically the ve minimum rounds.
“Are we going to take an average of the ve rounds? How do teams qualify?” he asked. “Everything we do at CHSAA is a team concept, and now we’re going to something that’s just about getting individual quali ers. I know we have individual quali ers for wrestling. I don’t think this is the right move for us.”
Chad Eisentrager, athletic director at Mead High School and a former soccer coach at Frederick High School, disagreed. He said the proposal included a provision that full teams qualify for state if three of their golfers are in that list of 84.
“ e removal of the regionals saves time and money,” he said. “(Iwanamaker) takes into account all of these things: slope, rating, once the person who manages the course uploads yardage and pin location. It’s not ‘good kid, bad course, he gets a good score.’ People will say kids will try to manipulate their scores if they are close to that cut line. Kids already manipulate their scores at regional and state events. ese scores are not being manipulated if the rounds and scores are entered correctly.”
Basketball
e council declined to reopen the CHSAA basketball committee report.

CHSAA legislative council talks golf, appeals process changes
Legal stu
ere are some changes to appeals. It now can’t come from parents or students but can come from the schools. Alex Halpern, an attorney for CHSAA who cit-
e hope of Cameron Wright, Twin Peaks Charter School athletic director, was to discuss the arrival of the shot clock in Colorado high school basketball next season.
ed a case involving an ineligible student who wanted to transfer schools, said this was part of a process to make the appeal process easier.
“You have the right to an appeal. at’s an important policy,” Halpern said. “As (CHSAA Commissioner Mike Krueger) said, otherwise, any parent who didn’t like the decision could put us into an appeals process. It does put more responsibility on the member school to make a decision whether they think a proposed appeal has su cient validity that it should go to the CHSAA level.” For more from CHSAA, visit CHSAANow.com.

Denver Roller Derby keeps sport thriving 20 years on
BY ERIC HEINZ ERIC@COTLN.ORG
e Denver Roller Derby squads are gearing up for their next seasons, and to start the year o , various teams that play out of the Overland neighborhood rink competed against one another in late January in friendly exhibition matches. ere are several levels of travel teams that practice and compete under the Denver Roller Derby umbrella as well as junior levels. Denver Roller Derby was established in 2005.
Skaters at the January opening weekend events at the 2375 S. Delaware St. rink said they got involved with roller derby because of the great community and competitive nature of the sport. e stands were packed for the opening event.
Elizabeth Borre, also known by her derby name “Ell on Wheels,” said when she moved to the city a little more than three years ago, she started researching roller derby leagues and found her south Denver spot.
“I like just the community, the fact that there’s so many people and we’re all involved in so many di erent things in Denver,” said Borre, who mainly plays in the jammer position for the Denver Roller Derby C-tier home team. “It’s great to just have connections, and also just have, like, a family. It’s just a giant family.”
One of the skaters for Denver Roller Derby’s Mile High Club team, the top tier travel team, is “Miss Tea Maven,” originally from New York City. Maven said she has been competing in roller derby for nearly 20 years, and she said she will try to compete for a spot on Team England during the upcoming Roller Derby World Cup.
“It’s really the only sport in the world right now, or one of the only ones, that is women-centric, and women- rst, or for people that identify as a woman or nonbinary,” Maven said. “ e women’s version is more popular than the male version, and I feel like it’s one of the few sports that actually celebrates women being just as awesome.”
Although camaraderie and empowerment are what Maven said she likes best about the sport, she also enjoys the challenge and the physicality that comes with roller derby. e Denver Mile High Club has been ranked regionally by the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association, which sanctions the league in which the team competes.
“As a girl, you can nally hit someone, and it’s like you don’t have to be dainty and feminine and all that,” Maven said.
“You can just really enjoy beating up and hitting on your friends, and everyone loves it.”
Janna Sims, the public relations director for Denver Roller Derby and a board member of the organization, skates under the name “Royal TenenBomb.”
Sims said she’s looking forward to the upcoming travel team tryouts in late February and early March, “Which is something the standbys have never done before.” Standbys are part of the developmental teams that help skaters improve
their skills.
For anyone who hasn’t been to a roller derby match before, Sims said people should expect a “very high energy.”
“I would say it’s very high energy,” Sims said. “It;s a lot of fun. It’s a great community with probably like the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life. It’s super-highimpact, high-energy. So if you like full contact, that’s what we do.”

NOTICE TO CREDITORS Estate of KAREN B. FOREY, aka KAREN BAKER FOREY, aka KAREN BETH FOREY, aka KAREN FOREY, Deceased Case Number: 2025PR030101

e program provided deterrence, education and community engagement, reinforcing trust between law enforcement and residents.
“When we got that one car back, it was the next morning from when it was stolen,” Johnson said. “It gets the car back in the hands of the victim before a thief has the opportunity to go and use it in a bunch of crimes, trash it or strip it for parts.”
A simple, low-cost fix for a major problem
Participants in the free program, funded by the Colorado Auto eft Prevention Authority grant, received an AirTag (for iPhone users) or a Tile tracker (for Android users), which they installed in their vehicles and paired with their smartphones.
“If your car is stolen, you can share the tracking data with our theft unit, and then we can use that location data to try to locate the vehicle,” Johnson said.
e program also provided steering wheel locks (commercially referred to as “ e Club”) and window stickers warning thieves that the car had a tracking device.
Johnson said the stickers alone
may have deterred thefts.
“If a thief is looking for a car to steal, they might think twice when they see that sticker. Why take the risk of stealing a car that someone can track?” Johnson asked.
Johnson emphasized that anyone can replicate this approach even though the city’s grantfunded program has ended.
“ e trackers we used were commercially available. You can buy them at Walmart, Target
and most phone stores,” Johnson said. “It’s a small investment that can prevent a major headache.”
While some car insurance companies o er discounts for anti-theft devices, they have yet
to recognize AirTags or Tiles as theft prevention tools.
“ at would be something I’d like to see happen in the industry,” Johnson said. “So far, I haven’t seen any indication that they’re going to do that, but it would make sense.”
Privacy and ethical considerations
One of the program’s key elements was privacy protection. Police could only access tracking data if a car owner voluntarily shared it.
However, Johnson noted that the same technology can be misused.
“ e reason Apple alerts people when an AirTag is following them is to prevent bad actors from tracking someone without their knowledge,” he said. “If you nd a tracker in your car that you didn’t put there, you should locate it and report it to police.”
e grant-funded portion of the program ended in June 2024, and the department has distributed all free tracking devices. However, Johnson and his team encourage residents to use these readily available, low-cost devices to defend against auto theft.
“We’ve seen a lot of success in recovering stolen cars,” Johnson said. “It’s about prevention and making it harder for criminals to get away with it.”
