Je co teachers union delivers vote of no confidence in Superintendent Dorland

BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COTLN.ORG

In a rare and highly public rebuke, the Je erson County Education Association delivered a vote of no condence in Superintendent Tracy Dorland during the May 29 school board meeting, accusing her of “undermining trust,” excluding educators from decision-making and destabilizing schools through topdown leadership.

e vote represents a signi cant escalation in tensions between district leadership and its employee union, which represents more than 5,000 educators and licensed sta in the state’s second-largest district.

A vote of no con dence is a formal expression of disapproval, typically used to signal that a governing body or leadership team has lost the support of the employees or stakeholders it serves. While symbolic and non-binding, it can carry signi cant political and public weight.

Nights like May 27, when one of the world’s most popular and award-winning bands choose his bar for their after-concert party, don’t tempt Dave Killingsworth to stay in the business.

e longtime Morrison business owner recently listed the Bear Creek Avenue bar, its adjoining businesses, houses and the property around it for sale for $15 million.

Killingsworth knows the Black Keys — who recently held a late-night Record Hang at the Morrison Holiday Bar — are famous but not much more than that. And he’s met plenty of famous people in nearly 20 years of running Morrison’s popular live music venue. e idea of meeting more isn’t even a consideration for him.

the walls between neighboring Tom’s Upholstering shop and Red Rocks Grill — both of which Killingsworth and his Texan brother Fred own — and creating a large restaurant/bar with garage doors, more room for dancing and other features he thinks patrons would enjoy.

But that’s either a job for someone else, or an idea a new owner may not pursue, he said.

“I just had my Medicare birthday this month,” Killingsworth said. “If I had endless energy, time and money, there’s a lot more I’d like to do. But I don’t. And I don’t want to ght with the town to do it.”

e things he wants to do include opening up

While Killingsworth has put years of e ort and money into expanding the Holiday, including adding a rooftop patio, two parking lots at the back, expanded bathrooms and other amenities, its future doesn’t matter to Killingsworth. Wellknown by the town’s elected o cials for confronting them at their biweekly meetings about the lack of town parking and his claims that they don’t do enough to help their businesses, he says that’s not the reason he’s o ering his properties for sale either.

“It’s just time,” he said. “And I’m not the only one involved. My brother wants to sell, too.”

“I acknowledge the concerns raised by the JCEA Operational Board and Representative Council,” Dorland said in response to the vote. “I have read the letter and I am reecting on the feedback. I acknowledge the need to build trust with the teacher’s association.”

Union cites breakdown in collaboration and trust

e union’s operational board and representative council voted unanimously to issue the declaration, citing what they described as a pattern of exclusion, top-down decisionmaking and lack of transparency under Dorland’s leadership.

“ is decision was not taken lightly,” the union stated in a letter delivered to the board prior to the meeting. “It is a re ection of the overall direction of the district under Superintendent Dorland’s leadership which has created a disconnect between the central administration and the educators, families and communities we serve.”

Wheat Ridge council to consider allowing freestanding emergency rooms

Current city code prohibits ERs without attached hospital

BY ERIC HEINZ

ERIC@COTLN.ORG

Wheat Ridge City Council is slated to hear public comment during its June 9 meeting over whether to allow freestanding emergency health facilities to be established.

According to the council documents, HCA HealthONE has submitted committed to purchase a former Midas property at 38th Avenue from the city for $422,500. e documents also said the health care network was under contract to purchase the property.

Wheat Ridge’s city code currently prohibits freestanding emergency rooms, those that are not adjacent or near to general hospitals that have many more resources at their disposal. In 2019, the Colorado Legislature passed a bill that would, as of 2022, allow heath care operators to apply for a license for freestanding emergency rooms.

“A code interpretation in 2015 determined that freestanding ERs were allowed only where hospitals were permitted based on ERs being more similar to

hospitals than medical o ce buildings,” the council documents stated, adding an application to change the zoning at the same property was submitted in 2015 but was denied by the city’s planning commission before it was sent to the city council for consideration.

“At the time, freestanding ERs were prevalent in local news because of their rapid proliferation throughout Colorado and a lack of transparency in billing practices,” the council document continued.

“ e Colorado Legislature was evaluating potential action to protect consumers, and city council adopted a series of moratoriums from 2016 to 2018 allowing time to evaluate the land use and any potential state action.”

Freestanding emergency rooms were speci cally prohibited by the city in 2018. City documents stated the decision was made because Wheat Ridge is not a particularly large city and because the Lutheran Legacy Hospital campus was in full operation.

Since there have been changes to state law, according to the council document, and the move of Lutheran Hospital. e action the council could take on June 9 would allow for a freestanding emergency room provided they receive a license from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

Montano scheduled for June 18 preliminary hearing

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CORINNE@COTLN.ORG

e First Judicial District Attorney’s O ce has charged an Arvada man with kidnapping, assault and ve other counts after he reportedly attacked a server, choked her and threatened her with a gun on May 21 at the Golden-area Rock Rest Lodge.

According to the Je erson County Sheri ’s O ce, the server didn’t sustain any major injuries during the May 21 incident.

Meanwhile, 30-year-old Brandon Montano was arrested at the Rock Rest that afternoon and has been held at the Je co

Arvada man charged with kidnapping, assault for attacking Rock Rest server

jail on a $100,000 cash bond since then. Montano appeared via livestream for his May 29 court hearing, where the prosecutors con rmed the DA’s O ce was ling seven charges against Montano. ey are: Second-degree kidnapping, a Class 3 felony; Second-degree assault, a Class 4 felony; Menacing, a Class 5 felony; Prohibited use of a weapon, a misdemeanor; ird-degree assault, a misdemeanor; False imprisonment, a misdemeanor; and Crime of violence, a sentence enhancer.

With formal charges led in the case, the judge scheduled Montano for a preliminary hearing at 9 a.m. on June 18 at the Je co courthouse.

Generally, preliminary hearings are when prosecutors must prove there is probable cause for a felony case to continue through the judicial system. ey typically proceed like small-scale trials where he prosecution calls witnesses to

present testimony or describe evidence, and the defense can cross-examine the witnesses.

In general, if the judge rules there is probable cause, the case would proceed to an arraignment hearing where the defendant may enter a plea. If not, the charges would be dismissed.

The May 21 incident

According to the arrest a davit, around 1:45 p.m. May 21, Montano walked into the Rock Rest Lodge, sat down and ordered a beer.

He told the female server he had been at the Rock Rest previously, and asked if he could check the women’s restroom for an item his girlfriend or wife might’ve left in there. e server went into restroom to look for it and saw that Montano had followed her inside.

According to the a davit, Montano

then pushed the server into a restroom stall and started choking her in a headlock-type maneuver. He also pulled out a handgun from his front waistband and pointed it at her head.

e server told authorities that she started to ght back, and at one point, the magazine fell out of the handgun. Believing the gun would only have one round in it, she fought against Montano and tried to point the gun at the ground and pull the trigger. She did, but the handgun didn’t re.

She successfully removed the gun from Montano, ran out of the restroom and alerted her coworkers. Two of them were able to subdue Montano until law enforcement o cers arrived. He was taken into custody without further incident, JCSO con rmed, adding that the incident was still under investigation as of May 22.

Part 2: Why Aren’t More Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) Being Built?

This is the second installment of my monthly series about one of the hottest topics in real estate: Accessory Dwelling Units. ADUs have gotten a lot of attention recently as a housing option. My thanks to John Phillips of Verdant Living for helping on the research for it.

ADUs – accessory or additional dwelling units, also called granny flats — are a wonderful idea. They use an existing piece of residential real estate and create a separate living space. They are often used for intergenerational housing (aging parents, adult children just starting out, etc.) and have long-term value as rental property and add to the value of your real estate. But very few have been built in Colorado. The experience in the City of Denver is instructive. I have been told that since June 2015 the city has issued 528 ADU permits, of which 418 have received Certificates of Occupancy. There are thousands of possible sites. There are no easily attainable totals for areas outside Denver, but there are a few ADUs scattered around the suburbs, and there must be tens of thousands of possible sites.

the preferred option. But times have changed.



quickly baffles the typical homeowner.

Now, land in urban areas is scarce (thus more expensive), homes are more expensive to build and aren’t as available, and smaller living spaces in closer proximity to others is more acceptable, often preferred. Zoning was a big hurdle. In Denver, applications for variance were rarely denied, but the variance process could take months and was expensive.

However, that is not the problem it once was. Laws have been passed that override local zoning regulations; Colorado did that last year, and that law takes effect this July.

That has opened the door, but there is a long way to go. Most homeowners have never even heard of ADUs, much less thought of how building an ADU might address their needs. This series is a small attempt to address that education gap.

Other impediments:

 Other local regulations and rules

Cost. The amount of money needed, even for the least expensive ADUs, is not trivial for most homeowners. It exceeds the purchase of a car or the cost of a tiny home, and many don’t understand why.



Finance. Beyond the raw cost, financing an ADU can be a challenge. Most lenders (but not our Wendy Renee, below) are not yet comfortable with the dynamics, and there are few lenders actively doing it. Call Wendy!



Time. The time between signing a contract to build an ADU and receiving a certificate of occupancy could be a year (and often longer). Before you get to the contract phase, investigation of options and selecting a vendor takes even more time. Sometimes a homeowner who wants an ADU has an immediate need, and the timelines may not match.

works against widespread adoption. They are “gentle density,” one here, one there. They are rarely installed at multiple residences close to each other. The impact, such as traffic, on a particular neighborhood is minimal. They don’t change the character of the neighborhood, but individual homeowners must have the need and desire.

Most have little experience with a construction project, understand how to research the options, are willing to turn their backyard into a construction site, and, especially for homeowners of moderate means, able to take on the risk and responsibility of a second mortgage (or make the necessary decisions). The whole thing is not part of their perspective.

So, one might ask, why aren’t more ADUs being built?

For many years, they were discouraged by the restrictive zoning regulations of local governments. That made a lot of sense when land was relatively inexpensive, housing was generally affordable, and single-family residences were

Some of these are hangovers from the anti-ADU sentiment, but many are necessary to ensure the quality and safety of the dwelling as well as it being an acceptable addition to the community. These range from soil testing, setbacks, size limitations, parking, utility fees, construction inspections, and more. These sorts of things are dealt with as a matter of course by builders of multi-family buildings and main residences, but the complexity

Here Are Some Reviews From Past Clients:

Golden Real Estate is the best residential real estate agency i have ever worked with. And I have bought more than 20 houses. What I like most is that they are not afraid to express their frank opinions about any piece of real estate. And I love the house they found for us on South Golden Road. — Don Parker Dave Dlugasch did a phenomenal job working with us! We were not easy buyers because of an extensive “wish list” and he did his homework on each property we looked at until we found the right one. He gave us great advice and was very supportive of all our questions throughout the entire process.

— M. Madigan

Based on Jim Smith's knowledge, experience, and expertise in the real estate arena, we decided to work with him when it came time to downsize. We used Jim and his real estate firm to both purchase the new home and sell our existing property. All communication with Jim has been top notch. He also provided all packing materials and labor to make our move. It was a great experience from start to finish.

— R. Trujillo

We were beyond impressed with Kathy Jonke! She went above and beyond for us. She accommodated all of our needs. She was insightful and extremely helpful throughout the entire process! I can’t recommend her more!

— Eve Wilson

Not only did Jim Smith do a superb job in the marketing and sale of our home, he provided his company's moving truck and long time handyman Mark to move our belongings to our new home in Broomfield. When a problem occurred, he hired an outside moving company to help complete the move in one day instead of two! We are so pleased that Jim helped us through the process of selling our home and moving us into our new home.

— Reese & Sally Ganster

Chuck Brown is a superb Realtor. He is very knowledgeable regarding the market, very

proactive and highly professional. Chuck was great at identifying potential properties that met our criteria, he moved very quickly to show us potential properties and his analysis of property values was on point and very thorough. Chuck was extremely proactive and responsive in his communications with us. Chuck went above and beyond our expectations. My wife and I have done six real estate transactions and we think Chuck is the best Realtor ever. We would highly recommend Chuck to other home buyers. — S. Diamond I was helping my mom and her husband sell the house. David Dlugasch was very accommodating to this dynamic. He arranged for all the paperwork to be done at the nursing home for the ease of my mom. David and I worked together to get the very full and dated house ready to go on the market. He went above and beyond by going to the paint store and hardware store etc. He was always available via text for any question I had along the way. He had a lot of resources. The best one was Mark, the handyman. I could always count on Mark. Mark was very meticulous and could do anything. What a great team! I could not have taken on this monumental task without them!!

—Heidi Warner

Greg Kraft was knowledgeable and professional. He was very easy to work with and was super proactive in searching the listings. That was a key in us managing to buy the townhome in a very competitive market. He was also very responsive and communicated really well with us and the listing agents. We would recommend him without reservation.

— J. Knight

Jim Swanson was kind and patient while listening to my questions. He helped me to translate the real estate language and manage the sale process. He connected the dots, allowing me to make good decisions, maintain my personal integrity and profit from the sale when a great offer came to the forefront. Jim, Thank you for putting communication and community first. — Name Withheld

 Market awareness. As mentioned above, most potential purchasers of ADUs are unaware of the opportunity. That education is happening, slowly.



Vendors. In Colorado the cottage industry of ADU vendors and other service providers is only now developing. It exists but is small, hard to find (and vet), and doesn’t have a broad community presence.

All these factors are self reinforcing and limit the development of ADUs. And there is another factor at work. The very nature of ADUs which makes them such a terrific addition to the housing stock,

Instead of having a different website for each listing, we now link them to a single site, www. GRElistings.com. The QR code at right will open that site up on your smartphone.

We pride ourselves on the thoroughness of our listings. We complete all the data fields in the MLS, not just the mandatory ones, so you’ll find measurements and descriptions for each room, as well as narrated video tours which simulate an actual showing.

Room dimensions and descriptions are not required, and you’d be amazed how few

agents bother to enter that information on their MLS listings. Of course, narrated video tours are not required either, and most “video tours” you see on other brokerages’ listings are really just slide shows with a music track. We have sold many of our own listings, including one that closes next week, to buyers who haven’t seen the home in person until they fly in for the inspection. The video tour gives them enough of a sense of what the listing is like to ask me or their agent write up an offer and go under contract for it.

e 2,000-word letter outlines a series of grievances spanning the last several school years, including sta turnover, changes to alternative education campuses, lack of stakeholder input in curriculum and scheduling decisions, and failures to adequately address safety and equity concerns.

It speci cally referenced the closure of Jefferson Jr./Sr. High School, despite commu-

nity opposition, persistent safety concerns at Mitchell Elementary, where sta have reported repeated injuries and a delayed emergency response to a student medical crisis at Ralston Valley High School.  ese examples, the union said, highlight ongoing failures to provide safe and supportive school environments. ese concerns are not new.

Over the past year, educators and parents have raised similar concerns in public comments and community meetings, particularly regarding the frequent introduction of new curricula, the use of third-party vendors and reductions to central support roles, such as instructional coaches and social-emotional learning specialists.

Dorland defended her administration’s track record, pointing to what she described as signi cant progress in the past four years.

o ce leaders has undermined continuity and support in schools.

“Instead of partnering with educators to nd solutions, Superintendent Dorland has dismissed or delayed action, allowing morale, retention and student outcomes to su er,” the union said.

e educator’s concerns also include the lack of communication with the Je co community regarding how schools would respond to inquiries or visits by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.  is concern was compounded, they said, when Superintendent Dorland rejected a board-approved resolution designed to establish safe school protocols for managing such situations, further deepening mistrust among educators and families.

Contract controversy added fuel to the fire

“I stand by the signi cant progress we’ve made — including increased educator compensation and the implementation of a bold strategic plan grounded in instructional excellence and extraordinary student experiences,” she said. “We’ve delivered results for Je co students through improved academic outcomes and student experiences.”

She also cited the adoption of highquality curricula, a more equity-focused discipline approach and a reduction in behavior incidents as evidence of those improvements.

Educators highlight systemic issues

Also among the union’s stated concerns were health care proposals presented to the board before consulting the district’s Bene ts Advisory Committee, major program changes announced without stakeholder input, delays in bargaining and the removal of books and gender inclusion guidance without community involvement.

“While we acknowledge that some decisions a ecting schools, sta ng, and student services must be made quickly and some are the purview of the Superintendent’s O ce, too often decisions in Jefferson County Public Schools have been made behind closed doors without explanation,” the union said.

Union leadership also cited reported refusals to allow emergency medical care and a lack of response to serious behavioral incidents in schools.

JCEA accused Dorland’s administration of fostering instability at the district level, saying frequent turnover among central

While not referenced in the union’s letter, Dorland’s request to renegotiate her contract nearly two years ahead of its expiration also sparked backlash.

Her 2024–25 salary of $300,770, a 15% increase from her starting pay, plus bene ts including full health coverage, a car and technology allowance and a generous retirement package, drew criticism amid looming budget cuts and concerns about educator pay.

JCEA organized a letter-writing campaign late last year questioning the timing and transparency of the negotiations, especially as state budget forecasts worsened and Je co considered asking voters to approve new taxes in 2026.

“I think choosing not to ask for a raise now, as a leader, would allow her to gain her employees’ and the community’s respect,” JCEA President Brooke Williams said at the time.

Board members defended the contract discussions as standard practice, with Mary Parker emphasizing that executive sessions were used appropriately and that no nal decisions had been made. ere have been no further discussions about Dorland’s contract. However, the board met with Dorland in an executive session before today’s meeting to “discuss a personnel matter, speci cally the Superintendent check-in.”

Dorland did not directly address criticism surrounding her contract request in her statement, but she emphasized her broader leadership philosophy and commitment to serving students.

“I remain deeply committed to lead-

ing Je co in a way that provides stable leadership, supports students, values our workforce, and honors the voices of all our stakeholders,” Dorland said. “Our students need brave, courageous leaders who are willing to work across our diverse community to actualize improvements to our students’ experiences; I am that leader.”

High-profile incidents bring political pressure

State Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer, a Republican representing Colorado Senate District 23 and a Je co graduate, posted a public letter to Board President Mary Parker on May 28 calling for new district leadership.

“From the tragic high pro le case of the Chief of Schools — whose misconduct was allowed to continue until his death — to a series of incidents where individuals accused of wrongdoing were permitted to resign quietly or be transferred rather than held accountable, this district has repeatedly chosen to protect itself instead of protecting students,” Kirkmeyer wrote.

She also criticized Dorland’s request to renegotiate her contract while the district faced public trust issues and an ongoing scandal.

“ at decision alone demonstrates a staggering lack of awareness, accountability, and respect for the community she serves,” she said.

Kirkmeyer concluded her letter with a call to action: “ e public trust has been shattered. A culture that allows misconduct to be ignored, minimized, or hidden must be dismantled. at starts with new leadership.”

It is unclear whether Kirkmeyer was aware of the union’s letter to the school board or the planned vote of no condence when she issued her statement.

Animal rights group wants to ban foie gras in Denver this year

After a failed slaughterhouse ban, activists have new target: force-feeding birds

BY PAOLO ZIALCITA DENVERITE

e animal rights group that tried to shut down a slaughterhouse in Denver has a new target: banning foie gras.

Pro-Animal Colorado, formerly known as Pro-Animal Future, submitted a proposed ballot initiative earlier this month that would ban the sale in Denver of foie gras, which is produced by force-feeding birds. e proposal would also ban force-feeding poultry in the city.

e proposed initiative is only in the beginning stage, so the details may change. Denver city sta hosted a public review of the proposal Tuesday, providing feedback for potential revisions.

A previous draft of the proposal included a ban on additional products like pâté and duck fat, but Pro-Animal Colorado said those products were removed because they don’t require force-feeding.

Animal rights activists say this is an ‘urgent ethical concern.’

e practice of force-feeding poultry is typically done to make the luxury food foie gras, a French delicacy that is made from the liver of a duck or goose.

Often, feeding tubes are repeatedly forced down the throats of ducks and geese. e excess food causes the liver to balloon, creating the trademark buttery texture of the nal product.

e practice is controversial. Several countries, like Brazil, the United Kingdom and Germany, ban either force-feeding or the production of foie gras. California lawmakers passed a bill to ban force-feeding and foie gras in 2004, which has constantly been challenged in courts.

Olivia Hammond, the spokesperson for Pro-Animal Colorado, said banning the practice and its products would improve animal welfare without impacting the daily lives of Denverites.

“I just think we can all agree that animals should be able to live natural and healthy lives,” Hammond said. “I really think this measure addresses an urgent ethical concern without impacting the average consumer.”

Pro-Animal Colorado’s last ballot measure attempted to ban meatpacking facilities from Denver city limits.While that measure was

handily defeated in the November election, Hammond said a poll by Pro-Animal Colorado showed wide support of banning forcefeeding animals.

Hammond said there are no factories or farms in Denver that force-feed birds, but the proposal’s language would ban any facilities from opening in the future. Meanwhile, she said, up to 15 restaurants in Denver serve products derived from force-feeding, depending on the season.

Several restaurants, both in Denver and nationwide, have been targeted by animal rights protests urging owners to take foie gras o the menu.

Many restaurateurs and chefs have continued to defend the practice, arguing that some producers take a more humane approach to force-feeding and would be penalized by an umbrella ban. But many animal rights advocates see no humane way to forcibly feed an animal.

If the proposal passes, it won’t necessarily mean the disappearance of the French delicacy in the Mile High City.

For starters, the ban would only apply to Denver, meaning neighboring cities and their restaurants could continue to serve it.

But also, the proposal includes exceptions.

Making foie gras without force-feeding a bird is possible, but di cult and expensive.

A Spanish farm utilizes a technique from the 1400s to fatten up their birds without

the use of force-feeding, but only slaughters birds once a year.

Some skip the fattening up entirely and rely on the wonders of science. Earlier this year, a German food physicist invented a process to break down duck fat and mix it with normal duck liver to create a comparable product.

Hammond said restaurants that want to continue serving foie gras could, in theory, avoid the ban on force-fed products by sourcing foie gras from sustainable farms or labs.

What’s next for the proposed ballot initiative?

Pro-Animal Colorado needs to submit a nal proposed ordinance to the Elections Division. After a few more steps, proponents would need to gather about 9,500 valid signatures from Denver voters to get the initiative o cially approved and sent to the ballot.

e ban on foie gras could be one of several community ballot initiatives in the November election.

A conservative organization has submitted four ballot measuresthat would reshape how Denver handles immigration and crime.

One other ballot measure campaign, to strike down the city’s ban on sales of avored nicotine products, has already submitted signatures.

Hickenlooper hears from businesses

Fluctuating tari s, international politics impacting bottom line

BY LINDSAY TOOMER NEWSLINE

Colorado small businesses from various sectors have made changes to their operations and even lost customers as a result of uncertainty around the Trump administration’s tari s.

Grady Cope, CEO of Reata Engineering and Machine Works, a Centennial, Colorado-based manufacturing company, said his company spent most of last year working to bring a Canadian customer on board.

But in February, that customer said it would stop working with Reata because it was their only U.S.-based vendor, and “our people would just be really upset if we were buying from a U.S. vendor.”

“So they’re gone after a year’s worth of work,” Cope said at a press conference with U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper of Colorado and other small business leaders.

Many of the materials used to make Reata’s products are not made in the U.S., Cope said. e company also ships parts to customers all over the world, with two of its biggest customers in Germany and the United Kingdom.

“One of the things that has truly surprised all of us is that the inconsistency of we-don’t-know-where-the-tari s-arefrom-day-to-day is causing many of our customers to put orders on hold,” Cope said. “Everybody’s waiting for some sta-

Congress, not the president.  Hickenlooper said people well-versed in economics tell him that “tari s have never worked” except in speci c situations. He said all tari s do is create “a level of uncertainty that is almost untenable” and prevents businesses from growing and maintaining supply chain relationships.

“All these tari s, in one way or another, they’re not bringing manufacturing back to this country,” Hickenlooper said. “What they’re doing is putting an unbearable burden on small businesses like we see here.”

Hickenlooper toured 4 Noses Brewing Company in Denver before hosting the press conference there with local business leaders. He sits on the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee. He is running for reelection in

Jack Caporal, trade policy chair at the World Trade Center Denver, said trade is an “engine of growth” in Colorado, as 1 in 5 jobs in the state is supported by trade, and gives Colorado consumers a choice on how and where to spend their money. He said tari s are “aggressive taxes” that small businesses “have the hardest time absorbing the cost of.”

bilization and normalcy.”

President Donald Trump has issued executive orders to implement tari s that involve every country in the world, including those with which the U.S. conducts extensive trade, such as Canada, Mexico and China. He has said trade deficits are a national emergency, and part of his goal is to force more companies to manufacture products in the U.S. But he has repeatedly changed course on tari policy.

Democratic attorneys general, including Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, have sued the administration, saying tari s are the purview of

“When there are trade issues that ought to be resolved to open that market access for Colorado businesses, the approach should be one that’s surgical and well thought out and well intentioned … Colorado businesses shouldn’t be caught in the cross re of unnecessary trade wars that raise costs for consumers and businesses,” Caporal said.

Screenings

Dyslexia screening the law of the land in Colorado

to

begin in 2027-28 school year

BY ANNE SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT

Surrounded by smiling supporters and curious fourth graders, Gov. Jared Polis on Friday signed a bill into law that will require universal dyslexia screenings in Colorado schools starting in the 2027-28 school year.

e sunny signing ceremony outside the front doors of Lukas Elementary School in Westminster was a momentous occasion. For students, it was the only thing besides lunch separating them from the start of summer break.

For advocates of children with dyslexia, it was the culmination of a dogged e ort to ensure students with the most common learning disability are agged early so they can get the help they need.

e dyslexia bill, one of three education bills signed into law at the ceremony, was

especially personal to some lawmakers.

Rep. Matt Soper, a Republican representing western Colorado and one of the bill sponsors, has dyslexia and talked about his reading struggles growing up. Polis noted that both his father and his fthgrade daughter have dyslexia.

Sen. Kyle Mullica, a Democrat representing parts of Adams County and one of the bill sponsors, choked up as he talked about the mental health toll dyslexia once took on his daughter, who’s now a sixth grader.

“I’m going to go home and tell my daughter that we did something for her today,” he said. “I’m going to tell all those students who are falling through the cracks that we’ve done something for them.”

No funding with bill

Dyslexia is a common learning disability that makes it hard to decode and spell words, but with the right instruction, students with dyslexia can do as well as their peers in school. About 15% to 20% of the population has dyslexia, according to the

Colorado Department of Education.

While the new law, which comes with no funding, won’t immediately require schools to screen kindergarten through third-grade students for signs of dyslexia, it marks another milestone in the state’s ongoing campaign to boost reading prociency among Colorado students. Over the last seven years, state leaders have cracked down on debunked reading curriculum, required more training for elementary teachers and principals, and held teacher prep programs to higher standards for how they train future elementary educators to teach reading.

About a dozen Colorado school districts currently screen all students in certain elementary grades for dyslexia. Two more — Je co and Douglas County — will start next year and by 2027-28, more than 160 other districts are expected to join the club.

Caporal said the uncertainty and the “whiplash” that comes with changing tari policies prompt other countries “...to become less reliant on the U.S. market” and to do business outside of the U.S. He said it also makes it harder for American businesses to enter those markets.

Jeremy Petersen, CEO of Identity Pet

Nutrition, said while his business is headquartered in Colorado, all of its products are made in Canada because the U.S. had “no available production to create the quality of product that we wanted to create for pets.” During the COVID-19 pandemic, the business tried to bring manufacturing into the U.S., but it is not possible in the U.S. to achieve the quality the company wants, he said.

While Identity’s products have a “made in Canada” label and the country was the second top retail market last year for the

company, Petersen said Canada is now his worst market.

“Despite being Canadian-made, they know we’re U.S.-owned, and so the boycott is on,” Petersen said.

Petersen said the company has also seen panic buying worse than it saw during the pandemic. It will be increasing its pricing by 6% on June 1 because of the uncertainty of how tari s will change. He said this has been “the most di cult year” of his professional career because of the uncertainty that comes with uctuating tari s.

“It’d be really nice if the president could just put this all on the back burner and recognize that we can’t exist solely with products created in America,” Petersen said. “We’ve always been a land of opportunity, and a land of small businesses and making it easier for small business owners, and now here at the ip of a switch this year, that’s all threatened.” is story is from Colorado Newsline.

Under the bill, dyslexia screening would begin in kindergarten and continue through third grade. SHUTTERSTOCK

FREE FAMILY FUN!

It’s an honor to introduce myself to you as the new publisher of Colorado Community Media. ese newspapers (21 in total) serve some of the most vibrant and historical communities in the Denver metro area, and I consider it a privilege to now be responsible for their sustainability and future. is is more than a business transaction to me, it’s personal. I was born in Colorado and have spent a great deal of time here throughout my life. My family immigrated to the Huerfano County area as ranchers and coal miners in the late 1800s; we own a ranch near the Spanish Peaks that has been in our family for generations.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Colorado’s culture, values and communities have always been close to my heart, and to now play a role in ensuring that trusted, locally produced journalism continues here is, in many ways, a dream come true.

At Times Media Group, our parent company, our mission has always been clear: to amplify local voices, support local businesses and to foster community connections. We believe deeply in the role of community news, not just as chroniclers of events, but as stewards

of truth, watchdogs of public interest and partners in civic life. at’s not a slogan — it’s our North Star. In every market we serve, we work to be a reliable source of local news people can trust. at may sound oldfashioned in today’s media landscape. Much of the industry is moving in the opposite direction toward consolidation, centralization and increasingly disconnected coverage. We believe that local stories matter, that communities deserve to see themselves re ected in the pages of their newspapers, and that good journalism starts on the ground, in the neighborhoods and cities where people live and work.

As the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan once said, “You’re entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts.” at quote is a guiding principle for us. Credibility, accuracy and integrity are not just ideals, they’re necessities. ey’re what build trust between us and

our dedicated readers. We never take that trust for granted.

To uphold these standards, we invest in skilled journalists who are immersed in the communities they cover. We also employ a modern, nimble editorial model that allows us to “platoon” our newsroom resources, moving experienced journalists to areas where they are needed most, whether to cover major events or to ll temporary gaps. is isn’t about cutting corners, it’s about building a sustainable system that keeps local news alive in an era when too many papers are folding, leaving behind “news deserts” where civic accountability is severely diminished or no longer exists.

Our commitment also extends to our local business partners. We know that strong communities are supported by strong local economies, and our platforms provide advertisers with a trusted and targeted way to reach their ideal customers. We don’t just sell ads, we sell solutions, building campaigns that help local business partners thrive.

To the readers of Colorado Community Media: thank you for your support and loyalty. Your engagement, whether through picking up a paper, subscribing

to our free digital edition, sending in a letter to the editor or supporting our advertisers, makes all this possible.

To our advertisers: thank you for recognizing the value of local media. You are investing not just in your business, but in the health of your community.

And to the dedicated team of journalists, editors, designers, advertising sales consultants and support sta who make up Colorado Community Media: thank you for your talent and passion. You are the heart of this enterprise, and I look forward to working alongside you to build a strong and enduring future for these publications.

ere is important work ahead. Together, with shared purpose and deep roots in the communities we serve, I believe we can not only preserve the legacy of these community news platforms but elevate them. at’s our commitment, and we’re just getting started.

Finally, please feel free to drop me a line to let us know how or what we could be doing better. My email address is steve@timeslocalmedia.com. We’re here to serve you.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

while inside the shuttle. eir teamwork was critical for the plan to work, and the success of the mission was so important that they were even given replicas of the telescope to work on in their free time.

After ve years of preparation, in May 2009, Massimino was on the spacewalk looking to x the Hubble telescope. For many hours, everything that could possibly go wrong did, and it looked like he would be unsuccessful in xing the telescope.

In that moment, Massimino felt the weight of the world on his shoulders. He was sure that he would be identied as the failure point for not being able to x the Hubble telescope. Embarrassment, defeat, and utter loneliness rushed over him as he made his way to gather the tools he needed to

try one last thing to x the telescope. ose feelings were so all-encompassing, in fact, that he could not look at his friend Feustel, who was giving him an encouraging thumbs-up sign as he passed the window of the shuttle. ankfully, the last-ditch e ort worked, and Massimino repaired the telescope.

After returning to Earth, while driving home with his wife, she told him how, while listening to NASA communication during his spacewalk, she could hear the despair and loneliness in his voice during his struggle. Massimino agreed, still haunted by the feelings of isolation he felt before xing the telescope.

e memory of that self-generated feeling of isolation started to fade as they turned onto their street, and Massimino saw how his neighbors had decorated his home in honor of his ight and spacewalk. It faded more as neighbor after neighbor talked with him, telling him about how he had been on their minds during his entire trip. If that was not enough, the next day at the NASA debrief, Massimino learned of all the things that hundreds of ground crew had been doing to support him as he tried to solve the issues that came up.

Promises thrown in the garbage pail

Trump made many promises to the electorate to win this election. He promised to not tax Social Security, to not count as income tips and to bring down the price of gas.

He promised to bring down the cost of groceries, and to end the con ict in Gaza and the war in Ukraine. He promised a new age of prosperity for America. Every economist disagrees with his tari s.

e American public has heard nothing out of his mouth to help the consumer since he was elected. Instead, he has been gallivanting around the world, trying to make himself look like a big deal maker. How about making some deals that bene t the American public?

His tax plan would give the biggest breaks to millionaires and billionaires. e middle class is left out of these tax breaks. Trump is nothing but a con man and you, the American public bought his con. He has taken a chainsaw instead of a scalpel to cut federal spending. Programs that bene t the poor have been cut. Medicare has been cut and I’m sure many of you who voted for him are on Medicare. He is only in it to bene t the multinational corporations.

He does not care about the average American. I will say this, he is a very good man to have convinced millions of Americans to vote for him. He has a Republican Congress who have lost their backbone and are afraid to challenge him. He has de ed court orders, and many believe, including myself, that mentally he is not up to the task of running this country.

And my ire goes out especially to those who consider themselves Christians. is man models none of the behaviors of the Savior, which Christians are supposed to hold close to their hearts. He shows no mercy, no truth, no justice, no respect. e secretaries of departments that he has chosen, instead of giving allegiance to the constitution, have pledged allegiance to him.

He has even said that he does not need to follow the constitution which has been the guiding force of our democracy. e American public has gotten a raw deal, and those of you who voted for him can show your unhappiness with his lies by calling your congressman and congresswoman and senators and tell them you’ve had enough of this insanity sitting in the White House.

Massimino nished his story by explaining how o -base he was in feeling utterly alone as he struggled in space, and he acknowledged the hundreds of people rooting for and helping him in his moment of struggle. One of them was literally on the opposite side of a shuttle window. But Massimino was so inside his own head that he could not see something right in front of him.

In our struggles, we often feel and act exactly like Massimino.

Antique shops across the Denver metro are more than places to buy old things — they’re spaces where history meets creativity.

Across the metro area, vintage lovers and curious newcomers alike are fueling a growing scene rooted in nostalgia, community and the thrill of discovery.

Colorado Antique Gallery

Standing at 52,000 square feet and advertised as “Denver’s largest antique mall,” Colorado Antique Gallery in Littleton is lled to the brim with unique vintage items for all types of people.

Colorado Antique Gallery is operated by President Chris Rodriguez who took ownership of the business in 2012. It is located at 5501 S. Broadway, Unit 135.

“I have 275 vendors and we rent space to them on a monthly basis, and then I take a commission of all their sales,” Rodriguez said. “So most of the merchandise in the store is not ours.”

Rodriguez said the store has been operating since 1992. He decided to purchase the store after initially taking a business interest in it.

For Rodriguez, he said the best aspect of operating an antique store is the unknown of daily life.

“Every day is di erent. Every day is new,” Rodriguez said. “You’re going to run into di erent people and this is the type of business that brings out eccentric people — and it brings out just people who you may

not see on a normal day, maybe, if you were shopping in a mall.”

From Native American jewelry to speci c crystal canoes, Rodriguez said people are looking for all sorts of items and every day “is not going to be boring.”

“What also is nice is we keep all this stu from going into the land ll and we give everything a second home so they can use it again,” Rodriguez said. “We like saving stu .”

Rodriguez said he would describe Colorado Antique Gallery as “large, di erent and fun,” adding that the store has evolved over the last three decades.

Heirloom Antiques Mall

Tucked in a quiet shopping mall in Aurora that includes an adult bingo venue and a hobby shop lies Heirloom Antiques Mall. Filled with various items including toys, art and more, the shop stands two stories tall.

Behind the counter, owner and operator Scott Davenport often greets his customers by asking if they’ve been in the shop, and explains the business to rsttime visitors.

e way Davenport described the store is simple but heartfelt.

“It’s just a fun place,” he said, glancing around at the eclectic mix of vintage furniture, old signage and toy collections tucked in every corner.

His business model is shaped by inclusivity and a sense of community.

“I try to o er something for everyone and I want it to be family friendly … We try to have stu that they can see and interact with,” Davenport said.

Davenport hadn’t always owned the store. His jour-

ney began as a vendor at a di erent antique shop.

“I was a dealer at another antique store for eight years. And I came in and I took a spot here. And when I brought my wife back, I stepped on the bottom stair, and I looked at her, and said, ‘I’m going to buy this store.’ And one year to the month, not to the day, I bought it,” he said.

It was a decision that would change his life.

“It’ll be 10 years in August,” he said.

What keeps him in it isn’t just the love of antiques — it’s the people.

“I like the interaction with the customers, you know — you get to know them and their families. We have so many regulars,” Davenport said.

Currently there are over 100 vendors in the shop, and Davenport said he also recently added more space to the business.

And he isn’t done yet.

“I just hope for continued growth,” Davenport said when asked what the future held.

e antique scene in the Denver metro area, according to Davenport, has seen a shift.

“I think it’s gone more vintage and more clothing. It’s better now. e younger generation has found … a greater interest in repurposing and recycling,” Davenport said.

Overkill Thrift & Consign

Overkill rift & Consign in Englewood opened its doors last year and o ers a blend of what Davenport describes as what “the younger generation” has found, including vintage clothing in various styles

something for everyone. It’s two stories with about 106

THRIFTING

and some antiques.

“While Overkill primarily deals in modern second-hand clothing, we very frequently receive vintage and antique pieces from our consignors with ages ranging anywhere from 1960s to the early 2000s,” owner Megan Hartberger said. “We try to carry all the small staples that an antique store might o er, such as vintage Playboy magazines, antique knick knacks like wooden kaleidoscopes, vintage movie memorabilia items and cassette tapes.”

Located at 3041 S. Broadway, Overkill is a small but bustling purple building where Hartberger seeks to provide curated, unique fashions at reasonable prices.

Hartberger maintains a “punk rock” style herself, but like Davenport, strives to have “a bit of everything” for vintage seekers who cross the threshold of her store.

“No matter what your style is, I want you to be able to come in and nd anything,” Hartberger said. “So, you know, goth, grunge, grandma, gearhead. We’ve got it all.”

Hartberger said Overkill is partially a thrift store because it has various items under $5, including $2 bins, and much of those pieces are actually from her own personal collection.

“We (also) have consign, which means you can come in and sell your clothes with us,” she said.

“ ose are going to be our slightly higher-priced items but I still like to have a good deal.”

Overkill used to be operated under the name Inner Me with a di erent owner, and Hartberger said it had a strong customer base that she has maintained since taking over the space in May last year.

“I wanted to make something for myself to put my name on, and this place worked out,” she said.

“It’s a great location, the landlord is really awesome, and there were just a bunch of great ways to get started.”

For the fashion collector, one of the best elements of the shop is chatting with the people who travel in and peruse her bins and racks.

“My favorite aspect is just looking at clothes all day, but I have loved getting to know people who have similar style to me or just really appreciate the pieces I’ve brought in,” she said.

Overkill is also a place where Hartberger encourages people to take the quirky or eclectic and make it their own.

“Put it on. If it looks good, keep it,” Hartberger said. “Let yourself be yourself.”

Hartberger describes the thrift and antiquing scene in Denver as “thriving.”

“Broadway especially is bustling with thrift and vintage stores alike, while several antique malls can be found throughout the area as well,” Hartberger said. “ ere’s something for every budget, whether you’re looking for records, comic books, clothes or antique home decor. rift stores have these items at lower prices but require more e ort to dig for, while dedicated vintage and antique stores will be more curated at the cost of higher pricing.”

Evergreen kicks o historic Monopoly game

Virtual hunt aims to share community’s history with residents and business

owners

In honor of the community’s 150th anniversary, Evergreen is playing a giant game of Monopoly.

Forty Evergreen businesses are part of the game created by the Evergreen Area Chamber of Commerce sta , in which participants collect cards featuring a unique local historical location. ose who return completed sets are eligible for cash and other prizes.

e game began June 1 and the deadline to return sets is Aug. 31.

“We wanted to involve our local businesses in the celebration of our 150th anniversary,” Chamber President Nancy Judge said. “We looked at making up a new board, but the minimum order quantity is 500 games, and we had no place to store them. So we came up with the idea of doing a virtual one.

“A lot of our businesses just love the concept. Each has partnered with a historic location, or business from Evergreen’s history. It’s just another way for people in our community to learn more about the places and people from our past.”

History is exciting

Business owner Sue Mueller, who owns Suz Cookie Jar Rescue Bakery, didn’t know the history of her building at 6921 County Road 73 until she joined

as a Monopoly participating business owner.

“It was pretty exciting to nd out the history of this building, which they think was built as a

general store in 1927,” she said.

“We’d heard the building was historical and when this came up, we learned so much more.

“I think it’s going to be really

fun for people. It’s a great way to get them into the local businesses, and help them appreciate what we’ve got and how long it’s been around.”

Usingan online map, which is available at evergreenchamber. org, participants guide themselves to each participating business, learn its historic secrets from local experts and collect the property card. Participants can print the map or use the online version.

Completed sets must be turned into the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce o ce at 1524 Belford Ct. by Aug. 31st to be entered into a ra e for up to $500 cash and other prizes.

Community events like the Evergreen Rodeo, the Evergreen Park & Recreation District Summer Concert Series, Foothills 4th, and CAE Summerfest will have exclusive opportunities to collect property cards that won’t be available anywhere else.

Sacred spaces and classic cars

Evergreen’s birth goes back to 1875, when former Je erson County Commissioner Dwight Wilmot asked the federal government to put a post o ce in the community. He requested they name it “Evergreen” after the trees he so loved, marking the rst time the community’s name was used. Because Evergreen is not incorporated, that occasion also marks the community’s o cial beginning and makes 2025 its 150th anniversary, according to Historic Je co. e Evergreen Area Chamber of Commerce has lined up a year’s worth of events, including a monthly gathering called “Sacred Spaces” that takes a closer look at the community’s most treasured places and assets, and a July 3 Night in the Park that will include local guest speakers, classic cars, historic artifacts and vintage family games.
