Ken Cruz, Patrick Flaherty and Pedro (Pete) Roybal are competing to represent Ward 3, which covers parts of southern and western Lakewood, including areas near Bear Creek Lake Park and Green Mountain.
Cruz, a digital media business owner, has lived in Lakewood for seven years and serves as president of his HOA. His campaign focuses on transparency, small business support and improved community outreach, particularly for Spanish-speaking residents.
‘Why Je erson? Why Now?’ Families fight to save school amid closure plans
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“ is is my home. is is my community. Why do I have to leave?” Gloria Rubio’s son asked her when he learned Je erson Jr./Sr. High School might close. He didn’t understand why the school that had shaped him and his friends, where he felt safe and supported, could be taken away.
He emptied his piggy bank and asked his mom to buy three bags of halos. He planned to hand them out at the meeting, wanting everyone to wear one in solidarity. He made signs that read “Once a Saint, Always a Saint” and “We Are the Home of the Saints.” He even made a special one for a younger child in Edgewater that read “I Want to Be a Saint.”
“He told me, ‘Mom, I want them to see what they’re destroying.’” Rubio said, her voice breaking in an interview before a recent community engagement meeting hosted by Je co Public Schools at Je erson Jr./Sr. High School.
In early February, due to declining enrollment and a structure the district claims is “not sustainable long term,” it proposed a draft plan to close the 7-12 junior/senior program at Je erson at the end of the 2025-2026 school year, sending sixth- through eighth-graders to Everitt Middle School and ninththrough 12th-graders to Wheat Ridge High School. e plan proposed two options for the school’s eventual reopening in 2027. Option A would allow students to enroll in a home high school for their core classes and choiceenroll in a part-time program at a Career and Technical Education Campus.

During a Feb. 22 open house, South Je co residents walk around a commercial-sized truck bay that will become storage for the future South County Library building. About 270 people attended the open house to see their future library branch, which is set to open in late 2027.

People walk into and out of the future South County Library building at 11100 Bradford Road during the Feb. 22 open house. Je co Public Library recently bought it for $10.7 million, with plans to renovate it and open it for general use in late 2027.
Excited Je co residents tour future library
JCPL to renovate commercial building, open new branch in late 2027
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As Je erson County residents toured the 64,000-square-foot commercial building at 11100 Bradford Road, they happily envisioned rows and rows of bookshelves, dedicated spaces for children and teens, and quiet reading areas with large windows.
It was easy to see the current o ces becoming study rooms or podcasting spaces, or the current conference room becoming a reservable meeting room. But, when it came to the giant truck bays with 30-foot-tall ceilings, people suggested turning them into indoor play areas, basketball courts and other large-scale amenities.
Whatever the exact layout would look like, Je co residents were thrilled to see inside the building that would become their newest library branch.
e only thing attendees said they were upset about is that it’d take two or three years to open. Ideally, they wanted it open sooner.
On Feb. 22, about 270 people attended Je co Public Library’s open house at its South County Library building, which is about a mile west of West Chat eld Avenue and South Kipling Parkway.
JCPL closed on the property, a former beer distribution center, in January. e
agency bought it for $10.7 million and plans to spend another $13 million retro tting about 40,000 square feet of the 64,000-square-foot building.
e building is scheduled to open as JCPL’s newest library branch in late 2027.
Both the purchase and the renovation project will be fully funded by existing revenues, JCPL o cials have stated, clarifying that the agency won’t be seeking a tax increase or taking on debt for the project.
Morgan Vincent, who lives about a mile away from the South County Library site, said she was excited to have a new JCPL branch so close to her home. She said it would be easy for her family to bike or even walk to the location.
“We needed a library in this community,” she said.
Among other features, she hoped the new branch would have a café, indoor and outdoor play areas for children, and reading areas with lots of natural light.
Michael and Sharon Schaubs, who also live within walking distance, felt similarly.
ey were disappointed they’d have to wait two or three years before it fully opened, as the population in the area has grown tremendously and more growth is expected in the coming years.
JCPL o cials have said the library might host pop-up events there in the interim, but exact details were still being determined.
Even so, the Schaubs family was happy to see that the new location has lots of parking and “plenty of space to do anything with.”
Michael even thought the façade already “looks like a library,” with a ag pole and circle drive just outside the front door.
Michael, who volunteers at the Columbine branch, championed how important libraries are for people of all ages. He said it’s an important resource to “expand your interests,” saying he’s prepared books for readers that span from how to make cosplay to how to sculpt clay miniatures of food.
“All kinds of things you never think about,” he said, describing how much he’s learned from his time frequenting the library.
A library in the making
More than a decade ago, JCPL o cials had identi ed South Je co’s Ken Caryl area as an underserved community. When its 2015 mill levy passed, some of the funds went toward establishing a new branch in the area.
is South County Library building will serve about 60,000 people in the Ken Caryl and C-470 areas.
e Columbine branch is the next-closest one. It was built to serve about 60,000 people, and it currently serves about 122,000 people, library o cials have described.
e South County Library site is in the middle of an o ce park along Sha er Parkway. It is a proverbial stone’s throw away from a Je co DMV o ce, a post ofce and the Ken Caryl Ranch Metro District o ce.
ere are some residential neighborhoods within easy walking distance, and it’s about a mile away from Sha er Elementary School and Ken Caryl Ranch Community Park.
After arriving in the parking lot, visitors walk through the front door to arrive in
the lobby.
To the right is a large meeting room, where JCPL had community feedback posters on the wall and other activities during the open house.
To the left of the lobby is a series of ofces and o ce-type communal spaces, with some beer signs still hanging from the walls and ceilings.
Behind the lobby is a series of doors that leads to two commercial-sized truck bays with 30-foot-tall ceilings.
e rst one — the one closer to the lobby — will be part of the library branch. Programming for this space is still being determined, but it will need to be insulated and have heating/cooling systems installed, architect Ryan Wallace explained, among other work.
However, the second truck bay — which is behind the rst — will likely serve as storage.
Because of the tall ceilings, JCPL could design the space to be two stories, as there’s already a mezzanine level that Wallace said was behind the rst truck bay’s walls. e only part visible from the truck bay oor was a series of loading doors midway up the wall.
Along with renovating the site, the building also needs general upkeep, such as a new roof and about 30 more parking spaces, o cials have con rmed.
Elise Penington, a JCPL spokesperson, said agency sta members and architects will have more information at the May 15 board of directors meeting. eir presentation will include community feedback from the Feb. 22 open house, she said. For more information, visit je colibrary.org/south-county.

With Affordability an Increasing Problem, More Buyers Consider Condos, But Can You Get a Loan?
Assuming you have good credit and a sufficient income, getting a loan to buy a single family home is not that hard, but when it comes to buying a condominium, the loan may not be possible if the building does not meet some challenging Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac guidelines. Most loans are sold to one of those institutions, and they will not buy a condo loan from a lender if the following is true:
The condo development hasn’t been completed
Less than half of the units are owner-occupied (for investors)
The condo association you’re looking at may not have any of those problems, but if it has not completed the proper paperwork, it will still not make the list of “warrantable” condos.
money to buy a replacement home, that definitely doesn’t work.
Follow-up on Last Week’s Column
An individual or company owns more than 10% of the units within the building (including the developer)
More than 25% of units are delinquent on HOA fees
If the homeowner’s association is still controlled by the developer
Commercial space is 35% or more of the building’s total square footage
There are pending lawsuits against the condo owner’s association
The deductible for hail damage is greater than 5%
If there’s central heating, the master policy doesn’t cover the boiler.
Just last Friday one of our broker associates, Kathy Jonke, closed for a condo buyer who had to terminate her first purchase contract because it was discovered just before closing that the hail deductible was 10%. On the condo which closed last Friday, the lender thought the master insurance policy did not cover the boiler, but our inhouse lender, Wendy Renee, got the right person on the phone and was able to verify that the boiler was covered, and the closing took place on time. Such is the life of a strong buyer’s agent and a strong loan officer!
I’m not saying that you can’t get a loan for an unwarrantable condo. It’s just that you can’t get a conventional loan which the lender plans to sell to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. That’s true of all the big banks and big lenders, but small banks and credit unions are often “portfolio lenders,” meaning that they keep their loans in-house instead of selling them. Another option (rarely used) is for the seller to “carry” the loan, which can work for some but not all sellers. If the seller needs the
Another option is to get the mortgage from FHA, which has a Single-Unit Approval (SUA) option whereby they evaluate the loan on a case-by-case basis. FHA loans, however, require an upfront and ongoing purchase mortgage insurance (PMI) premium. Kathy’s buyer was given that option on her first condo purchase where the hail deductible was 10%, but she chose to terminate the contract rather than assume that added expense.
In any condo purchase, the lender will ask the condo association to complete a questionnaire and base its approval on the response. For example, in addition to the criteria mentioned above, the lender will want to know the association’s budget and its reserves.
Loans on non-warrantable condos can also require a larger down payment and carry a higher interest rate to compensate for the added risk. Recent increases in master insurance policy deductibles alone has made a higher percentage of condos non-warrantable, and loans on unwarrantable condos are estimated to equal over 22% of the market now.
If you are considering writing an offer on a condo, make sure your agent and loan officer submit the condo questionnaire immediately and ask questions about warrantability before spending money on inspection and appraisal.
62% of Americans Think a 20% Down Payment Is Required, But It’s the #1 Myth
NerdWallet.com is a trusted resource for consumer information, and, according to its 2025 Home Buyer Report, 62% of Americans believe that a 20% down payment is required to purchase a home. That’s the number one myth that is holding back Americans from pursuing the American dream of home ownership.
In fact, there are many programs, especially for first-time home buyers, which require zero down payment. Here in Colorado, the Colorado Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) has a website www.WhyWaitBuyToday.com, which describes their programs for both first-time and repeat buyers with 4% down payment assistance (DPA) up to $25,000.
To qualify for DPA, you have to have a credit score of 620 or higher. The deferred DPA takes the form of a second loan with a 30-year term and a zero percent interest rate. It accrues no interest, has no monthly payments, but is due and payable upon sale, refinance or payoff of your first mortgage. Some DPA is provided as a gift and does not have to be repaid.
Since, according to NerdWallet’s report, 33% of non-homeowners say that not having enough money for a down payment is holding them back from buying a home at this time, “this misconception could be stopping them unnecessarily.”
FHA is famous for requiring only a 3.5% down payment, but conventional loans are
available with as little as 3% down payment. Veterans with a “certificate of eligibility” can get a loan with zero percent down payment for a primary residence.
USDA loans with zero percent down are also available for rural properties.
Larger down payments are always better, and can avoid the added expense of purchase mortgage insurance (PMI), but once your equity reaches a certain level, conventional mort-

gages allow you to eliminate that expense.
FHA loans maintain that expense for the life of the loan, unless your down payment was 11% or higher, in which case you can eliminate that expense once you achieve a certain equity level based on an appraisal.

One of the articles, “Buyers Need and Deserve Professional Representation, But Here’s Why They Shouldn’t Have to Pay for It,” produced some feedback from readers. One said the percentages I quoted were wrong, and I’m embarrassed to admit that’s true. (Did I really go to MIT?) The numbers, however, were correct as was the logic of my argument, which is supported by the fact that virtually all closings taking place are ones in which the seller is still compensating the agent representing the buyer.
I confirmed that fact with one of the region’s biggest title companies. What that tells us is that sellers want one thing above all else — to sell their property. They have come to realize that they can try to avoid offering any compensation to the agent representing a buyer, but if they’re the only seller taking that stand, buyers will gravitate to other listings. Also, the standard contract to buy and sell real estate has a section in which it is stated what the seller will pay, so sellers are given the opportunity to accept that amount or call the buyer’s bluff and hope they come to terms. Closing data available to title companies suggests that sellers don’t win that argument often or at all.
One reader believes that if the buyer’s agent is paid by the seller, he’s not going to work to get the lowest price for his buyer. That would make sense, but in 22 years of being on both sides of transactions, I have never known a colleague or myself to do anything other than work in the best interests of a buyer he/she represents, not just in getting the lowest price initially, but when it comes to negotiating concessions or a price reduction based on inspection issues or a low appraisal. And when there’s a seller concession, many agents including ours, make sure our commissions are based on the net price.

This nicely updated and well-maintained 574square-foot condo is in the Sable Cove subdivision southeast of Aurora’s Town Center. The address is 992 S. Dearborn Way, #7, east of I-225 and north of Mississippi Avenue. The seller, who bought it for a family member, updated everything in this ground level unit. It has luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, a pantry with slide-out drawers, laundry hookups, and a wood-burning fireplace. There is lots of open lot parking for you and your guests. The HOA dues are only $255 per month and include water, sewer, maintenance, a community center, swimming pool and fitness center. There is a locked storage closet on the front porch, big enough for all your winter gear.

Kenneth Cruz
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Kenneth (Ken) Cruz is running to represent Ward 3 on the Lakewood City Council. He is running against Pedro (Pete) Roybal and Patrick Flaherty.
What is your background and experience?
I moved to Lakewood seven years ago with my partner, Jason. I run a digital media business that supports small businesses in Lakewood and Je erson County by helping them with videography, photography, websites and social media.
I also serve as president of my HOA, where I’ve helped expand the board, improve nancial stability and build a stronger sense of community. rough that experience, I’ve seen rsthand how local policies impact residents and small businesses, and I want to bring that perspective to the City Council.
What inspired you to run for City Council, and what do you see as Lakewood’s biggest challenge right now?
Lakewood is at a critical point in its development, and I see an opportunity to improve transparency, community engagement and small business support. I want to bring a pragmatic, solutions-driven approach to the City Council that prioritizes people over politics.
One of my biggest concerns is that small businesses don’t feel supported by the city, and I know many that have shut down due to a lack of resources and guidance. I also believe we need to engage more young residents in city government, and I would
push to create a Young Lakewood Advisory Council to give them a voice in shaping the city’s future.
Housing a ordability and growth continue to be major concerns in Lakewood. What policies or initiatives would you support to balance development with maintaining community character?
Development should be balanced to meet housing needs without sacri cing community spaces. Lakewood faces a housing crisis, but too often, the conversation becomes polarized between longtime residents who fear change and those pushing for rapid development.
I support comprehensive planning and rezoning e orts that include real community input, not just decisions made behind closed doors. I also believe language justice is critical, particularly in areas with a large Latino population. If we’re not offering resources in Spanish, we’re shutting out a major part of the community from these discussions.
Public safety and policing are always important topics for residents. How would you approach issues like crime prevention, community policing, and rst responder resources?
Building trust between law enforcement and the community is key to improving public safety. Too often, outreach is limited to handing out yers and expecting people to show up. We need to go to the community instead of waiting for them to come to us.
I support expanding community policing e orts and increasing collaboration between residents and law enforcement to
Patrick Flaherty
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN
Patrick (Pat) Flaherty is running to represent Ward 3 on the Lakewood City Council. He is running against Pedro (Pete) Roybal and Kenneth Cruz.
What is your background and experience?
I’ve lived in Lakewood for more than eight years and work as a remodeling contractor specializing in kitchens and bathrooms. While I haven’t had much direct involvement with the City Council in the past, I interact regularly with residents and small businesses in our community.
My perspective comes from everyday experiences with city policies, including how they a ect homeowners, businesses and working-class families. I believe the City Council needs more voices that re ect how policies impact residents on the ground.
What inspired you to run for City Council, and what do you see as Lakewood’s biggest challenge right now?
I initially considered running for U.S. Congress but quickly realized that local government has a more direct impact on people’s lives. While gathering signatures for my campaign, I spoke with residents and saw that many felt ignored by the City Council, especially regarding growth and development.
improve transparency and trust. I also believe language accessibility is critical. Public safety materials and outreach e orts must be available in multiple languages so everyone can access important information.
What role should the City Council play in addressing sustainability and environmental concerns, particularly as Lakewood grows?
Lakewood should be a leader in sustainability, not just reacting to state-mandated regulations. I want the city to be more vocal and proactive about meeting sustainability targets rather than waiting until we’re forced to comply.
One major issue is making sustainability e orts understandable and accessible to residents. Right now, too much of the conversation happens at a high policy level that many people don’t understand or engage with. We need to improve education and outreach so that sustainability goals are ambitious but also realistic and achievable for residents and businesses.
What would people say about your leadership style?
I believe in recognizing, valuing and amplifying the power that people already have. My solutions-oriented leadership style focuses on real, measurable improvements rather than rhetoric. I’m also passionate about empowering future generations. I know what it’s like to be the youngest person in the room, and I want to ensure younger voices are included in city decisions.
How would you integrate with the existing City Council?
I enjoy collaborating and working with people who have di erent perspectives. I’ve already met with some current council members to understand their priorities and approaches, and I plan to listen, learn
prevention, community policing, and rst responder resources?
Lakewood’s biggest challenge right now is balancing responsible development with community concerns. Too often, decisions are made without proper engagement with residents, and I believe we need leadership that will listen, compromise and ensure community voices are heard.
Housing a ordability and growth continue to be major concerns in Lakewood. What policies or initiatives would you support to balance development with maintaining community character?
I support the fee-in-lieu-of policy (which allows developers to pay a fee in lieu of setting aside parkland) because it helps protect existing parks while creating opportunities for new open spaces in underserved areas.
While development is necessary, it must be done thoughtfully and in a way that respects the needs of di erent neighborhoods. Some areas bene t more from denser development, while others require green space and infrastructure improvements. I believe the City Council should have proactively addressed zoning and a ordability issues before con icts escalated rather than reacting after decisions had already been made.
Public safety and policing are always important topics for residents. How would you approach issues like crime
I support Lakewood’s co-responder program, which teams mental health professionals with police o cers to respond to certain situations. Expanding this model could help redirect resources toward crisis intervention while allowing o cers to focus on crime prevention.
I also believe in strengthening civilian outreach e orts, particularly in areas like homelessness response. More proactive, community-driven safety e orts can help reduce the burden on law enforcement and lead to better long-term outcomes for public safety.
What role should the City Council play in addressing sustainability and environmental concerns, particularly as Lakewood grows?
Lakewood’s green initiatives and sustainability goals are strong, but there are small, practical steps we’re overlooking. One example is revisiting the city’s 2016 waste management proposal, which would have established a citywide trash collection system instead of relying on private haulers. is would reduce truck tra c, emissions and costs for residents. Instead of focusing solely on largescale environmental goals, we should also look at smaller policies that directly impact daily life and sustainability efforts.
What would people say about your leadership style?
I’m a collaborative and deliberate decision-maker who believes in gathering input from multiple perspectives before
and contribute meaningfully from day one. Every part of Lakewood is di erent. Some areas still have farms and horses, while others are high-density urban zones, so respecting diverse viewpoints and working toward solutions that make sense for the entire city is important.
If elected, what’s one speci c initiative or policy you would want to champion during your term, and why?
My top priority is ensuring that small businesses are part of the conversation about Lakewood’s growth and development. Too many businesses have closed because they didn’t feel supported by the city, and I want to change that dynamic. At the same time, I believe transparency and community engagement need major improvements. Lakewood’s government should be more accessible, and I would work to build trust between the city and its residents by improving outreach, especially for underrepresented communities.
taking action. I don’t claim to be the expert on every issue, but I know how to bring together people who are. My approach would seek to elevate the voices of the community, especially those often overlooked in city discussions. I don’t see myself as a politician; I see myself as a representative who wants to ensure that every decision re ects the best interests of residents.
How would you integrate with the existing City Council?
I would have the strongest in uence in research sessions and behind-thescenes discussions rather than immediately being the most vocal presence in

William (Bill) Furman is running to represent Ward 4 on the Lakewood City Council. He is running against Diane Rhodes, Desiree Gonzalez and Nicholas Munden.
What is your background and experience?
I was born and raised in Lakewood and have lived here nearly my entire life. I’m an architect and manage a team at Jacobs, where we work on public projects like DIA expansions and the Red Rocks Depot. My wife and I bought our home in Ward 4 over a decade ago, and I’ve been deeply involved in city planning ever since.
I’ve served on the Board of Appeals and the Planning Commission and worked on state-level building policy with the American Institute of Architecture’s Government A airs Committee. My background gives me a strong understanding of development, zoning and infrastructure.
What inspired you to run for City Council, and what do you see as Lakewood’s biggest challenge right now?
Lakewood’s housing a ordability crisis and misconceptions about growth are the biggest challenges we face. Some candidates are pushing for zero growth, weakening our tax base, hurting small businesses and reducing funding for public services like parks and police.

Nicholas (Nick) Munden is running to represent Ward 4 on the Lakewood City Council. He is running against Diane Rhodes, William Furman and Desiree Gonzalez.
What is your background and experience?
I’ve lived in Lakewood since I was 12, attending Foothills Elementary, Dunstan Middle and Green Mountain High School before earning my GED. I’m an electrician and safety coordinator and have been working in the trades since 2014.
I’m also a person in recovery, having been sober for seven years, and I know rsthand how important community resources and second chances are. As a father of three, I want to ensure Lakewood remains a safe and a ordable place to raise a family.
What inspired you to run for City Council, and what do you see as Lakewood’s biggest challenge right now?
I’m running because I see a need for change, accountability and equal representation. Too many working-class voices are excluded from city decisions. Infrastructure and development are Lakewood’s biggest challenges, especially when it comes to housing a ordability. I want to push the City Council to do better, ensuring we meet state housing standards and implementing smart policies
aren’t about massive population increases. ey’re about maintaining population levels and keeping our economy stable. Currently, Lakewood has one of the highest retail vacancy rates in the metro area, meaning businesses are struggling. I’m running to push for smart, responsible growth that balances a ordability, economic stability and community character.
Housing a ordability and growth continue to be major concerns in Lakewood. What policies or initiatives would you support to balance development with maintaining community character?
We need clear, responsible zoning policies that balance growth with preserving neighborhood character. e parkland ordinance needs reform. It currently forces small, ine cient pocket parks into developments instead of allowing for meaningful open spaces.
I also support predictable zoning guidelines, especially near parks, so residents and developers know what to expect. Blocking all development isn’t the solution. We need smart, well-planned growth to keep Lakewood’s economy strong and housing accessible.
Public safety and policing are always important topics for residents. How would you approach issues like crime prevention, community policing, and rst responder resources?
We need to listen to police o cers and rst responders to understand what actually improves safety. Lakewood’s com-
munity policing e orts and CAT teams, which provide outreach to people experiencing homelessness, have been effective. Some issues, like panhandling in medians, are legally complex due to court rulings, so we need to work within those constraints to nd solutions. Crime prevention isn’t just about enforcement. It’s about targeted interventions and maintaining substantial public safety funding.
What role should the City Council play in addressing sustainability and environmental concerns, particularly as Lakewood grows?
Lakewood must comply with state sustainability mandates, but we should also pursue realistic, e ective policies. Tracking energy use in buildings is a smart, low-cost step that helps businesses reduce waste and cut costs.
We must also balance ambition with practicality, ensuring that new regulations don’t burden small businesses and homeowners with unrealistic costs. If we set high sustainability goals, we should also explore subsidies or assistance programs to help people comply.
What would people say about your leadership style?
People describe me as collaborative, solutions-driven and pragmatic. I focus on listening to di erent perspectives and making decisions based on real-world impacts rather than ideology. My experience in architecture and city planning has taught me how to balance di erent needs while making long-term, practical decisions.
How would you integrate with the existing City Council?
City Council is a team e ort, and I’ve spent years working in collaborative en-
member the last time the Lakewood Police Department held a community event in West Colfax. We need more outreach and stronger partnerships with local nonpro ts to build a safer city.
that bene t everyday residents, not just developers.
Housing a ordability and growth continue to be major concerns in Lakewood. What policies or initiatives would you support to balance development with maintaining community character?
Lakewood lacks a ordable housing, and I don’t think we’re even meeting state minimum requirements. I want to challenge the City Council to do better by incentivizing developers to build up instead of out, similar to what Denver has done.
e city currently requires only 5% of new housing to be a ordable, and I believe we can do much better. We need to push for stronger a ordability measures while ensuring development is done responsibly.
Public safety and policing are always important topics for residents. How would you approach issues like crime prevention, community policing, and rst responder resources?
We need better mental health resources to ease the burden on police. I support programs like Denver’s STAR program, which deploys mental health professionals instead of police o cers in certain situations. Expanding this kind of initiative in Lakewood would help people in crisis while allowing police to focus on crime prevention. Community trust is also key. I can’t re-
What role should the City Council play in addressing sustainability and environmental concerns, particularly as Lakewood grows?
City Council should be proactive, not reactive when it comes to sustainability. New state-level regulations on emissions and energy use are coming whether we like it or not, so we should get ahead of them to avoid higher costs down the line.
I support eco-friendly development, green building incentives and responsible park maintenance. Sustainability e orts should also be balanced across all parts of Lakewood. For example, some wards have great parks and green spaces, while others have been left behind.
What would people say about your leadership style?
I’m a team player, personable and easy to get along with. If everyone in the room agrees, then nobody is really thinking. Good leadership means embracing different viewpoints and having tough conversations.
As an electrician and safety coordinator, I work in high-stakes environments where planning and problem-solving are critical, and I bring that same practical, solutions-driven mindset to leadership.
How would you integrate with the existing City Council?
I haven’t met the current council members yet, but I believe in sitting down, having open conversations and nding common ground. We need more op-
vironments where people have di erent viewpoints. Whether through my work in city planning, advisory boards or professional teams, I’ve learned that you don’t get things done by shutting down conversation. My goal is to work with fellow council members, residents and businesses to nd solutions that make sense for Lakewood as a whole. If elected, what’s one speci c initiative or policy you would want to champion during your term, and why?
One of my top priorities is xing the parkland ordinance, which currently creates small, ine ective parks instead of usable open spaces. I also want to explore zoning changes that reduce the cost of homeownership, like reducing minimum lot sizes and allowing for more housing diversity. ese changes can help make Lakewood more a ordable while preserving neighborhood character.
portunities for candidates and council members to meet and collaborate, and I would advocate for events that help bridge that gap. I’m always willing to listen, discuss and compromise, even when we don’t agree. If elected, what’s one speci c initiative or policy you would want to champion during your term, and why?
A ordable housing is my top priority. As someone in recovery, I’ve experienced rsthand how hard it is to nd stable housing, even years after turning my life around. I’ve been sober for seven years, but I still struggle to nd a ordable housing for myself and my three kids. I would push for stronger a ordability requirements in new developments and incentives to increase accessible housing options across Lakewood.

Diane Rhodes Lakewood City Council candidate profiles
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Diane Rhodes is running to represent Ward 4 on the Lakewood City Council. She is running against William Furman, Desiree Gonzalez and Nicholas Munden. What is your background and experience?
I’ve lived in Lakewood since 2002 and have a strong background in education and technology. I teach computer science at Red Rocks Community College and part-time at MSU Denver. I hold a Doctorate in Education in Community College Leadership and a Master’s in Computer Science. My experience includes serving on the Lakewood Advisory Commission, where I worked on sustainability initiatives.
I’ve spent my career educating future technology professionals and am passionate about ensuring smart, informed leadership in local government.
What inspired you to run for City Council, and what do you see as Lakewood’s biggest challenge right now?
I’ve always wanted to serve my community at the local level, but my career and education have kept me too busy to run. When the Ward 4 seat became open, I knew it was time to step up and bring balanced, data-driven leadership to the City Council.
Development is the biggest issue I hear about from residents. As I walk my dog daily, I talk to neighbors, and many share concerns about overdevelopment, the loss of open space and public safety. I also believe many residents didn’t fully

Cruz believes the City Council needs to engage underrepresented communities better and ensure residents have a say in future development decisions. Cruz also wants to strengthen partnerships between law enforcement and the community to improve public safety.

meetings. I recognize that building relationships takes time, and I would listen and learn from existing council members while bringing a fresh perspective. I can o er a unique, workingclass viewpoint that some on the council may not have, particularly when it comes to a ordability and small business concerns.

understand the implications of Lakewood’s TABOR decision in the last election. I want to ensure future policies are transparent and accessible to voters.
Housing a ordability and growth continue to be major concerns in Lakewood. What policies or initiatives would you support to balance development with maintaining community character?
I strongly oppose allowing developers to pay a fee in lieu of setting aside open space. is goes against what residents want. If we allow it, it would be no different from how tech companies pay for carbon o sets while continuing to pollute.
I grew up in the Bronx, New York, so I know rsthand that apartment living can be great, but I didn’t move to Lakewood to see it become Manhattan or the Bronx. We need smart, controlled development that protects open space and keeps Lakewood from becoming an overbuilt, urbanized city.
Public safety and policing are always important topics for residents. How would you approach issues like crime prevention, community policing, and rst responder resources?
Before making decisions on policing, I would speak directly with law enforcement to understand what resources they actually need. Do they need more o cers, better training or additional tools? I don’t have that answer yet, but I would ask the right questions to make sure we’re funding public safety in a way that e ectively reduces crime and keeps neighborhoods safe.

Flaherty has also raised concerns about putting o critical conversations that should be happening now, such as the potential closure of the Denver Federal Center, which he says could result in signi cant job losses for the city.

Four candidates battle for Ward 4 seat amid concerns over growth, a ordability
Four candidates are vying for the open Ward 4 seat, which includeseastern and southeastern Lakewood.

term, and why?
Rather than focusing on one issue, I would push for more transparency and proactive discussions about challenges that will impact Lakewood in the next few years. One major concern is the potential closure of the Denver Federal Center, which could result in thousands of lost jobs and economic disruption. We need to start planning now for how Lakewood will adapt if that happens rather than scrambling when it’s too late. I aim to ensure that we have these critical conversations in the open and prepare for challenges before they become crises.
Public safety also ties into how we allocate taxpayer dollars, and I believe the City Council must ensure transparency and accountability in how funds are spent.
What role should the City Council play in addressing sustainability and environmental concerns, particularly as Lakewood grows?
I served on the sustainability subcommittee of the Lakewood Advisory Commission, and while I saw good discussions happening, there was a lot of talk but little action. I believe the City Council should listen to residents before making major sustainability decisions, and leaders shouldn’t act unilaterally.
If the community supports speci c environmental policies, I would advocate for them. However, policies shouldn’t be pushed through without community input.
What would people say about your leadership style?
I am collaborative but decisive. I make decisions quickly and pivot if something isn’t working. My leadership approach enables others to take action while ensuring conversations remain productive.
As the state discipline chair for computer science faculty in Colorado’s community college system, I led faculty from 16 colleges in developing curricula, programs and policies. I know how to facilitate discussions, nd common ground and lead teams toward meaningful solutions.
How would you integrate with the existing City Council?
I have experience working in large, complex teams where consensus-building is essential. In my role leading computer science faculty statewide, I’ve turned disorganized meetings into engaging, solution-oriented discussions.

WHAT WARD DO I LIVE IN?
IMPORTANT DATES
I would take the same approach on the City Council: listen rst, learn the processes and engage in open, productive conversations. I believe in respecting different viewpoints while keeping discussions focused on what’s best for the community.
If elected, what’s one speci c initiative or policy you would want to champion during your term, and why?
I would take a hard look at the recent TABOR decision in Lakewood and explore whether it can be revisited or revised. I believe Lakewood is adding too many fees, which is essentially taxation by another name. Residents deserve clear, transparent policies on where their money is going, and I would advocate for straightforward communication and accountability in city budgeting.

An electrician and safety coordinator, Nicholas Munden focuses on a ordability and public safety. He believes Lakewood should require developers to include more a ordable housing and supports expanding mental health coresponder programs to ease the burden on police.
He also wants Lakewood to proactively address sustainability regulations before state mandates force costly last-minute changes.

Option B is an Academy model, in which students choose to enroll in a full-time career-focused school. Students would take all their classes at that facility, but transportation would not be provided.
e district’s chief of sta , Lisa Relou, and other administration o cials emphasized that the district has not made any nal decisions about future programming at the school and that they came prepared to listen to the community’s input.
“We want you, the community, to tell us what are some of the programs you’d like to see,” said an independent facilitator hired by the district. “What is most interesting to you? What gets the students in here excited? We have some thoughts, but also want to hear from you as the night goes on.”
Instead, district o cials faced an emotional crowd demanding answers, as frustrated parents and students repeatedly asked why their school was being targeted and whether their voices would matter in the nal decision.
“We were presented with option one or two; where’s our options?” asked Ross Burns as he took the microphone. “ at should be option one. And I think that if we come together as a community, I bet you we could problem-solve a great school that honors the history of this community, that honors the roots of this community and that honors the diversity of this community.
“Has your voice been heard?” Burns shouted, to resounding shouts of no.
Why Je erson?
Delia Pacheco, a parent at Je erson, said in an earlier interview that she believed this decision was just the latest example of Je erson being left behind while other schools thrived. “ ey’ve put money into xing up the building, but they haven’t helped our kids,” Pacheco said. “ ey keep switching principals. One comes in, lasts a year or two, then leaves. e kids never get a chance to build a real connection with their leadership.”
Another parent expressed similar frustration.
“ ey are overloading, dilapidated, broken down schools and revamping other schools. Just invest in the schools you have. Keep them open, keep your students where they want to learn, and let them ourish. Invest in them, help them be the future we all want to see.”
Others expressed doubt the district would keep its promise to reopen the school once shutting down at the end of the 2025 school year.
“We worry that once Je erson is closed, it won’t reopen,” a parent said as she took the microphone. “We worry that budget concerns will be cited, that Je erson will be left as an empty building, while delays pile up until nally the district declares that it simply doesn’t have enough money to reopen at all.”
Why now?
Parents questioned whether the district timed this decision strategically, knowing many Hispanic families wouldn’t push back. “Parents are scared,” Pacheco said. “I tried to get them to come to the meeting, but they were afraid to leave their homes. ey don’t want to be seen. ey don’t want to speak out. ey don’t want to risk attention from authorities.”
She paused, then added, “ e district knows this. ey know they can do whatever they want to us, and most families won’t ght back because they’re too scared. It’s not fair. “I’m here because I don’t want my kid to be scared,” Pacheco continued. “I want him to see me and learn how to defend and speak up for his community.”
De Luca also expressed that now is a tough time for Hispanic families, and the district should understand their challenges.
“You all have to think that there’s a lot of Latin parents here that are afraid to move to another place. ey’re afraid for their kids,” De Luca said. “ ey feel safe here. ey feel that they belong.
Why them?
For the families and students gathered at the community meeting, the ght over Je erson’s future isn’t just about where they can get the best education. It’s about identity and belonging.
Nearly 90% of Je erson Jr./Sr. High School students are Hispanic, compared with just under 29% of Wheat Ridge High School students.
“A lot of us are minorities,” a 12th-grade student said in a breakout session. “If they go to Wheat Ridge, for example, there’s a very different demographic. If there’s racism here, it can be solved quickly because we have each other. ey’re not going to get that priority. It’s going to be like, ‘Well, too bad, suck it up.’ So I’m worried about those kids that will not get the community that we have.”
Other students shared how the support at Je erson had changed their lives.
“A lot of us are in poverty,” another student said. “We’re not going to get the same priority in another school. We are not going to get the same amount of help, even if we do integrate into those communities.”
A shy teenager spoke con dently when he said, “Tonight is probably one of the most emotional times I could say because there’s no school like this one. I had the opportunity to change with what other people would say is a better school, but a school with more programs, or a school that can give me a better future. But truly, what I needed was a community, a community that could help me grow as a person.”
As the meeting ended, emotions remained high and frustrations unresolved. Parents and students pressed district o cials for clear commitments on Je erson’s future.
Relou acknowledged the overwhelming opposition to the closure.
“I heard loud and clear that you guys do not want this school to close, that you want it to stay as is, that you want students to continue to be in this program,” she said.
She urged families to continue participating in the conversation, assuring them that their voices mattered.
“We want you to come out. We want you to be part of this conversation. We are listening.
I know sometimes it doesn’t feel that way, but we are.
“ is school feels like a family,” Relou added. “We are trying to get ahead of what we see happening in terms of the trends and have a literal conversation about what we can do about that together.”
District o cials say they will continue to gather input at the nextcommunity meeting, which is scheduled for March 3, 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Je erson Jr./Sr. High School.
e school’s future may be unclear, but one thing isn’t.
For the families at Je erson, the ght isn’t over.

Rocky Mountain Prep’s PEAK+ program expands, breaking barriers to college access
Thanks to community support, student demand, a unique dual-enrollment initiative is breaking barriers, allowing high schoolers to take college courses for free
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
At the beginning of the 2024-25 school year, Alexis Rodriguez-Avitia wasn’t sure if college was in his future.
One semester later, he’s anxiously waiting to learn if he’s been admitted to some of the country’s most prestigious engineering programs.
“ e program made me realize that I want to be an electrical engineer and continue with that major,” he said. “Before PEAK+, I wasn’t thinking about college, but now I 100% want to go and keep studying.”
Rodriguez-Avitia is one of more than 60 students currently enrolled in Rocky Mountain Prep’s PEAK+ program. is dual-enrollment initiative allows high school students at Rocky Mountain Prep SMART and RMP RISE to take college courses at the Community College of Denver and the Community College of Aurora while completing their high
school education.
Unlike traditional dual-enrollment programs, PEAK+ fully immerses students in a college setting, giving them a rst-hand experience of higher education, all at no cost to them.
rough community donations, PEAK+ provides free tuition, transportation and meals, ensuring that students don’t face nancial barriers to participation.
“ is program not only saves our students money in the long term, but it also ensures they can nish college earlier if they stay on track and take all the classes they need,” said Tricia Noyola, CEO of Rocky Mountain Prep. “We exist to democratize college access, which is why this entire program is free of charge for every student.”
Free college access is a game-changer for many of these students.
“ e reason I joined the PEAK+ program was because of the money,” said Ashley Villegas-Granillo, a senior who is con dent she wants to be a psychologist.
“I felt like it wouldn’t have been smart to let go of the opportunity for a free year of college.”
Rodriguez-Avitia also emphasized the nancial relief that PEAK+ provides.
“My parents completely don’t support me with anything I have to do with college nancially. ey support the idea, but nancially, they aren’t willing to really pay for any of my college,” Rodriguez-Avitia said. “So having the opportunity to get a full free year is great. I’m
saving myself a ton of money.” e students say an understated bene t of free tuition is the opportunity to test out college-level coursework before making a long-term commitment.
“It was a great way for me to explore the eld that I wanted to go into without actually spending any money on it,” Steve Santana, a senior in the PEAK+ program, said. “I can just have a risk-free year, see what I want to go into, see what I want to do.”
For Santana and Villegas-Granillo, the year solidi ed their interest in psychology and computer science, but for Rodriguez-Avitia, it made him realize he’d rather pursue a di erent major.
Building a college-going identity
According to Noyola, the program is designed to remove barriers to higher education, nancially, socially and mentally.
“Most concurrent enrollment programs don’t give students the real college experience,” Noyola said. “Our students are actually spending time on a college campus, sitting in classrooms with other college students, learning from professors, navigating a college campus and gaining independence. is isn’t just about credits; it’s also about con dence.” e goal, Noyola explained, is to democratize college access and ensure students don’t just consider college an option but see themselves as collegebound from an early age.
“It is very hard to be what you cannot
see,” she said. “It is very hard to aspire to something that you have not experienced or that someone in your family has not experienced. e barriers our kids face aren’t just systemic or nancial. It’s seeing yourself as ‘college material.’ ”
Expanding access: $81,000 raised to support students
PEAK+ has grown signi cantly since its launch, with enrollment set to nearly double next year to 100 students, with even more on a waitlist. Noyola said the RMP community raised over $81,000 to support its expansion.
Additionally, RMP sta contributed $30,000 toward post-secondary scholarships for three students to use at any college or university of their choice after graduating from RMP.
“We’re committed to making college accessible for every child, no matter their background,” said Chelsea Yondo, Principal at RMP SMART. “Students can sometimes have di culty imagining what college is like, which is exactly what PEAK+ does. It demysti es post-secondary coursework for students who need college access most.”
Inspiring younger students Rodriguez-Avitia, Villegas-Granillo and Santana recently met with elementary students at an RMP school to share their experiences and answer questions about college.
Lawmakers seek better mental health help for youth
Bills tackle insurance coverage and cell phone use in schools
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Legislation aimed at improving the mental health of Colorado’s children is gaining ground after garnering bipartisan support among lawmakers, say bill advocates.
“I think everyone is aware that there is a mental health crisis among our kids,” said Zach Zaslow, VP of Community Health and Advocacy at Children’s Hospital Colorado. “I think (lawmakers) are stepping up to be helpful in ghting this crisis.”
Zaslow, Dr. Lauren Eckhart, clinical director for the Colorado Springs division of the Pediatric Mental Health Institute at Children’s Hospital Colorado and about 100 parents, health care providers and primary care physicians were at the State Capitol to hail the passage of two key bills — HB 25 1002 and HB 251135.
Both measures passed the State House and now are headed for Senate hearings before they are voted on by the whole legislature.
Zaslow said neither measure costs taxpayers but could likely save lives in the long term. HB 1002 tries to cut the disparities between standard physical health and mental health bene ts. e measure would ensure private health insurance carriers are not denying coverage for medically necessary mental health and substance abuse services that a healthcare provider has prescribed and that should be covered under the patient’s health plan, according to the legislation.
Advocates point to a report by health policy consultants Milliman that says that more than 75 percent of Coloradans with commercial insurance who have been diagnosed with a mental health condition have not received the care they need over the past year.
ere is still a “stigma” surrounding mental health and an associated reluctance among most insurers to cover its treatment, Zaslow said.

ACCESS
“What kind of things did you learn in high school that helped you decide to go to college?” one fourth-grader asked.
“Math was a big one for me,” Rodriguez-Avitia answered. “I always loved it, and taking advanced math helped me see that I wanted to be an engineer.”
Another young student wanted to know what college students do for fun.
“Honestly? Studying can actually be fun, especially when you’re learning about something you love,” Santana said. “And there’s always time to hang out with friends and get free food on campus.”
Villegas-Granillo encouraged younger students to push past self-doubt and get involved in di erent activities when asked what advice they would give to younger students.
the help they need until much later, Eckhart said.
“ ere are often signi cant delays that can hurt those in need. We need to get them to get care as soon as possible,” Eckhart said.
Cell policies required by 2026
HB1135, which also attracted bipartisan support, would require all school districts to have a policy in place dealing with cell phone during the day by July 2026. e bill does not impose a statewide ban on cell phone use in schools but calls for school districts the create their own locally developed policy regarding cell phone use during school hours in K-12 setting, according to the legislation.
“We wanted to take a middle ground on cell phone use,” Zaslow said. “We don’t want an outright ban on their use, but we also don’t want a laissez faire approach to cell phones.”
Only about a third of Colorado’s largest school districts have a cell phone use policy during the school day. Local principals and teachers are then left to come up with their own classroom policies, Eckhart said.
Clear evidence exists that social media use throughout the school day can have negative impacts on youth mental health and wellbeing, Eckhart added.
“It increases forms of anxiety and students who use their phones a lot are less inclined to get into physical activity,” Eckhart said.
And yet, cell phone use is “...tough pull to resist,” Zaslow said. “But maybe this bill will help us go in the right direction to help kids.”
“Don’t compare yourself to others. Everyone learns at their own pace,” she said. “Try to join as many things as you can. It helps distract you from stress and lets you build friendships. Sports, clubs, NHS, all of it makes a di erence.”
Santana encouraged them not to give up on themselves.
“Just always believe in yourself. Follow your dream, because in life, there’s gonna be a lot of people telling you, ‘Hey, you’re not gonna be able to do this.’ Don’t listen to them. Always push for your dream.”
With its 100% college acceptance rate for graduating seniors, Rocky Mountain Prep hopes PEAK+ will become a model for other schools looking to expand college access.
“No one’s future should be decided by their background,” Noyola said. “Our mission is to ensure every student, no matter where they come from, has access to the opportunities they deserve.”

When we face struggles, it is easy to fall into a mindset of simple survival. at focus can become all-encompassing and often will prevent us from nding the road to thriving. In those moments, the expanse between “survive” and “thrive” can seem insurmountable.
Four years ago, I was given an opportunity to learn that the chasm between “survive” and “thrive” is only as wide as our mindset. Many of you who have been following Words of Encouragement from the beginning know that my work as a writer started when I was supporting a friend, Shane, who was battling stage-4 colon cancer.
In January 2021, Shane had taken a leave of absence from work to focus on trying to get better. I went to visit him during that leave, and as we sat and talked, he told me that the chemotherapy he was taking was making him so ill that he had decided to focus on the quality of his life, not the quantity.
VOICES
The chasm between striving and thriving
He explained to me that he was stopping chemotherapy and that the remainder of his life span would be measured in weeks. As he told me of this decision, I began to tear up, and as the rst tear fell onto my cheek, he waved his hand in the way that only he could and said, “We are not going to do that; we are going to celebrate.”
With a lifespan remaining that could be
Acounted in hours and pain growing in his body daily, Shane made a very conscious decision. He was not going to simply survive each remaining day; he was going to thrive.
Over the next few weeks, he went to watch movies in theaters that had been rented out exclusively for his extended family, had dinners xed by chefs who came to his house and attended a parade in his honor. He had the opportunity to
talk with friends, spend precious hours with his wife and daughters, and even play in a poker tournament at his house.
It was inspiring to watch and learn from Shane during that time. e experience left me with the con dence to know that thriving is a conscious decision. It is both scary and empowering to recognize this reality.
When we understand that our mindset is the catalyst to thriving, then we are not
able to hide behind our struggle, satis ed with the idea that we made it through another day.
Don’t misunderstand me. Your struggle, my struggle, they are not easy things to navigate, but they are not insurmountable. e only thing that can keep us from thriving is ourselves. Shane demonstrated this in the most di cult situation possible, facing his own mortality.
When we take the time to truly look at the world around us, we will see we have front-row seats to watch insightful, heroic, and authentically brilliant moments in the human experience unfold before us.
Shane’s unwavering commitment to thriving is an example of this and gives me an invaluable reset button for when I nd myself stuck in survival mode. It is my sincere hope that you, too, can learn from this incredible model.
You have got this.

Colorado Dragon Boat Festival marks milestone
Author’s note: I had the pleasure of working alongside Sonya Ellingboe for many years. Her love of the arts was palpable and it was always inspirational to talk with her about the work that moved her. Since her death on Feb. 22 I’ve been thinking a lot about the power of art and the impact it can have on everyday life. I hope her legacy is that we all appreciate the beauty of creativity and support it however we can.

Property tax notices have been sent; here’s what’s new
Hello Je erson County, Hopefully you survived the bitter cold weather that we have recently experienced. e warmer weather appears to be back, and maybe our Colorado spring starts soon.
Property tax statements are out
In January, county treasurers mailed out property tax statements to the residents of Colorado. As Je erson County Treasurer, I sent out those statements the week of Jan. 21. ese statements re ect the amount of property taxes that residential and commercial properties owe for 2024 payable in 2025. County treasurers do not set your level of taxes, but we are responsible for the collection of these taxes per state law. is is the busiest time of year for county treasurers around the state. Your property tax notice re ects the recent increases in property taxes which have occurred because of rising property values, tax increases approved by voters, and recent changes in how property taxes are calculated. County treasurers are required to send these notices and work with property owners to oversee the collection of these taxes which are distributed monthly to the counties, cities and special districts which levy these taxes. I encourage you to call me with any questions, and I will work with you to help clarify the process. Some property owners (those with mortgages) pay their property taxes through their monthly payment which is called an escrow. People with no mortgage are responsible for making their payments

Property tax payment changes
During the COVID pandemic, I worked with the state legislature to temporarily change state law (2020 and 2021) and help taxpayers retain ownership of their homes by allowing multiple payments instead of the standard two payments, and by waiving late interest. It was very successful, especially in Je erson County.
I am again working with a few legislators to revise the current system to again allow multiple payments. A bill is currently being drafted to allow county treasurers to once again take multiple payments to help homeowners to retain their homes. I will be testifying at the legislature in favor of this change.
Investing your money
As Je erson County Treasurer, I am responsible for investing those tax dollars that are not immediately used to pay bills. I am proud to say that in 2024 we earned a record $29,238,560.33 in interest on our investments (unaudited). is money is used to pay for additional projects and services that bene t Je erson County residents.

Denver artist omas “Detour” Evans has planted his artistic footprint all over the Denver metro area, including the Arvada Center. His work creating the mural at the Center’s main gallery for all visitors to see and then displaying the nished product drew rave reviews from the Center’s visitors, said Collin Parson, Director of Galleries and Curator.
“Our visitors loved it,” Parson said via email. “It was an interactive piece that took the art of murals to the next level. Detour is an innovative artist who a few years ago was considered a ‘muralist’ but not as ‘an artist’ who happens to also make murals.”
“I’m proud of him and think he represents the quality and creativity of Colorado arts,” Parson said.
Evans could not be reached for comment.
Described as a painter, muralist and installation artist, Evans served as a Creative in Residence at the Denver Art Museum in the fall of 2017, exploring work that encourages a mixture of traditional art and interactive paintings. He has gained state and national fame for his mural and print creations that celebrate African American history as well as musical, civil rights and sports icons.
What may be Evans’ most acclaimed piece was recently unveiled before international travelers that streamed though Denver International Airport. e airport introduced Evans’ sculpture “It’s Not What You Take, It’s What You Bring Back” in its permanent public art collection in January in the Concourse B expansion area.
“DEN’s participation in the City’s 1% for Public Art program is a point of pride for the airport. Many of the works in our permanent collection loom large in the memories and imaginations of our millions of annual visitors. omas Evans’ work, “It’s Not What You Take, It’s What You Bring Back,” will soon become an iconic xture of the world’s sixth busiest airport, welcoming or bidding farewell to our passengers,” airport CEO Phil Washington said in a news release. “I am so pleased to welcome Evans’ unique and vibrant sculpture to DEN.”
“It’s Not What You Take, It’s What You Bring Back” was inspired by the idea that life is always in perpetual motion and it’s our luggage that carries the items we hold dear. It was selected by a panel of community representatives, arts and culture professionals, and civic leaders in 2022, the news release states.
“I was super ecstatic to be selected to be a part of the process of adding art to such a vibrant place where millions of travelers pass through during their journey in life,” Detour said in the news release. e artwork, located on Concourse B East near gate B60, is 26 feet long by 12 feet wide by 8 feet high and suspended from the concourse ceiling. To help build the sculpture, Evans put a call out to the public for personal luggage that had a story behind it. at resulted in 183 donated bags that were incorporated into the nal design, including pieces from Cleo Parker Robinson, Ed Dwight, a ight attendant of 33 years, three DIA employees, as well as from folks with Denver’s ve professional sports teams.
Evans said on his webpage that the exhibit showcases the frenzied nature of modern life. “ e goal is to symbolize the 24/7 nature of both the airport and the journey of life, as well as memorialize the stories and experiences you gain when you travel,” Evans said. Evans said that his fabricators, Demiurge, built a steel armature in six di erent sections that will serve as the backbone of the sculpture. Each piece of luggage will have its own plate extension that will be

welded onto the armature. For more information about the backstories of the donated bags and their donors, go to the airport’s arts page which opened for views this month. A time-lapse video of the installation can be found there as well.
e news release points out that the City’s 1% for Public Art Ordinance directs that 1% of any capital improvement project over $1 million undertaken by the city be set aside for the inclusion of art. At DIA, funds are set aside and then site-speci c large-scale public art opportunities across the campus are identi ed. For this speci c project, funding was designated by the Gate Expansion Program’s construction budget. No taxpayer dollars are used for any artwork at DIA. Evans also explores ethnic identities through his African art display “ ey Still Live,” which mixes photography, DNA mapping and African objects, according to the Hu ngton Post. His prints celebrate Martin Luther King Jr., the music icon Prince and soccer legend Pele.
Evans also honored the 2023 NBA champion Denver Nuggets with a mural planted on the side of the building at 1919 E. Colfax Ave. Evans said he only created the mural to replace another that was in disrepair. However, “this mural evolved to be a beacon for the community because of the awesome year that the Denver Nuggets had,” Ev-
Evans drew plenty of local acclaim for his work at the Arvada Center. Evans used sound and interaction to draw patrons into his brightly colored creation at the Arvada Center’s main gallery, said the Arvada Center’s Parson.
Evans was part of a temporary exhibition titled “In Sight On Site: Murals,” Parson said. Working on the site at the Arvada Center as artist schedules allowed, visitors were able to see murals develop over a weekend, a week or even a month, he said. Evans contributed to a temporary exhibit at the Center so it was only displayed for a few months.
“Detour and artists like him use exhibitions like this to test ideas and concepts that otherwise might just be experiments in their studios,” Parson said.
He said that he donated a bag to the DIA exhibit, at Evans’ request. Parson said he was caught o guard by the request but suddenly remembered that his four-year-old daughter, Cora, had left her Kitty Cat purse in the back seat of Parson’s car.
“I knew she’d be momentarily upset, but I also believed she’d understand its signi cance when she was older,” he said.
“So I took the risk,” Parson said. “So far, it’s paid o . She’s forgotten all about the purse, and I can’t wait to take her to see her small but meaningful mark in Denver’s art history.”

Amid budget crunch, Youth Advisory Council on chopping block
BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
e Colorado legislature, as part of its efforts to close a budget hole of more than $1 billion, is planning to axe a nearly two-decade program that enlists teenagers from across the state to help draft and o er input on bills.
Shutting down the Colorado Youth Advisory Council would save about $50,000 a year. at’s a relatively paltry amount, but it’s meant to send a message that costs must be trimmed wherever possible.
e cut foreshadows the big, and often painful, line-item reductions the legislature will have to make in the coming weeks.
Sidd Nareddi, who served on COYAC from 2022 to 2024 while he was in high school, said he was heartbroken to hear the program may be discontinued. Now a rst-year student at Brown University, Nareddi said being a member of COYAC was one of the most formative experiences of his high school years.
“It really was a personal development program for me,” he said. “It’s a very empowering process.”
e Colorado Youth Advisory Council was created in 2008 and is composed of 40 junior high and high school students representing each of the state’s 35 Senate districts, as well as the Ute Mountain Ute and Southern Ute tribes. Teens serve two-year terms on the council. e panel is currently supposed to continue through at least 2028.
In recent years, the panel — known as COYAC — has drafted legislation to require school sta to address students by their chosen name, boost mental health resources in schools, reduce food waste in
public schools and get young people involved in environmental justice.
“ at would be a huge mistake,” Sen. Faith Winter, a Broom eld Democrat and a legislative liaison to the council, said of ending the program. “We know that the budget is di cult and we are willing to work with COYAC next year for a very reduced budget outside of having an interim committee.”
Sarah Moss, who directs the program, made an impassioned plea to the Executive Committee of the Legislative Council, which is making the decision to disband the program, to keep the initiative alive.
“I love this program and love these students,” she said. “Being their nonpartisan sta er and teaching them the process and government 101 — and ‘Here’s how you make a phone call to a stranger who’s a grown-up’ — has been one of the greatest joys of my professional career. We would very much love for this program to continue in full.”
Moss suggested paring back the council to make it remote-only. at could cut out the legislature’s costs of getting council members to and from the Capitol and putting them up in hotels.
“We would really love to see some kind of opportunity for them to present (to lawmakers), even if it’s just a teleconference,” she said.
e Executive Committee of the Legislative Council appears resigned to shutting down the program. A bill ending COYAC will have to be drafted and debated before the full legislature before the council is shut down, but the executive committee on Friday preemptively slashed its funding.
Lawmakers plan to spend just $5,000 on the program next scal year, which begins
July 1, to ensure students currently on the council can nish their work.
“As a lifelong educator, I believe in doing things for our youth and giving them these opportunities,” House Speaker Julie McCluskie, a Dillon Democrat, said this week during an executive committee meeting. “ is is tough.”
In an interview with e Colorado Sun, McCluskie said she hopes COYAC could be brought back after a year. But the legislature’s budget problems are only expected to get worse.
e legislative branch plans to cut its budget by 5%, or more than $4 million next year. Suspending as many as a dozen interim committees like the Colorado Youth Advisory Council is part of that e ort.
e executive committee is made up of the six top party leaders in the legislature, four Democrats and two Republicans. Both Republicans suggested it was time for the council to go away, regardless of cost.
“With all due respect to students, there are plenty of people who come here and take days to testify and make their voices heard that don’t get (their expenses covered),” House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese, R-Colorado Springs, told the executive committee.
Senate Minority Leader Paul Lundeen, R-Monument, told e Sun the council has become too progressive. Given that it e ectively has the power to introduce bills in the legislature, he feels that advantage is unfair.
“As a matter of policy, I’m not supportive of continuing with funding,” he said during the executive committee meeting.
Winter pointed out that COYAC was founded through legislation brought by a Republican, then-state Sen. Ellen Roberts
of Durango, and that it has long been a bipartisan initiative. e panel that reviews COYAC’s work is named after the late House Minority Leader Hugh McKean, another Republican.
Winter defended the legislation the council has advanced in recent years as being representative of the Democratic-lean of the state.
“ ere is one youth member per Senate district,” she said. “If you look at the makeup of the Senate, it makes sense that COYAC is composed similarly.”
Current and former members of the council said they plan to encourage lawmakers not to shut COYAC down.
“COYAC is one of the best things I’ve ever done,” said Livi Christiansen, who served on the council from 2020 to 2022 when she was a junior and senior at Poudre High School in Fort Collins. “It absolutely changed my life. I wish that every kid got to do it.”
Christiansen, who at just 19 is in her rst year of law school in California, said the legislature could choose to slash funding for prison beds instead of shutting down COYAC.
“ ey can nd the money,” she said. “ ey could be making a di erent choice.” e $50,000 appropriated annually to the council pays for an overnight retreat, annual visit to the Capitol, send-o dinner for high school seniors, committee meetings with legislators and for a professional facilitator to run the program. e Colorado legislature is expected to set the state budget in March. is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonpro t based in Denver that covers the state.

Sonya Ellingboe — a life well lived
Longtime journalist, arts advocate and Littleton community activist dies at 94
Sonya Ellingboe, a longtime Littleton resident and beloved community activist widely known for her decades of writing about arts and culture in Colorado Community Media newspapers, died Feb. 22, 2025, at age 94.
Ellingboe was born Sonya Joyce Watson on July 9, 1930, in Columbus, Ohio, to economics professor Jesse Paul Watson and art instructor Elizabeth Joyce Watson. e little family moved soon after to Pittsburgh, where Ellingboe grew up and began her love of art and reading, in uenced by her parents and “a really super art teacher in high school,” as she recalled in a 2018 biographical interview with Colorado Community Media.
Ellingboe got her bachelor’s degree in visual art from Carleton College in Northeld, Minnesota, where she met St. Olaf College student John “Jack” Ellingboe. ey married after she graduated from college and she then lived in Ames, Iowa while her husband got his doctorate in analytical chemistry at Iowa State University and the rst of their children was born. e young couple wanted to live in Colorado, and Ellingboe recalled how a college connection helped her husband arrange an interview with Littleton’s Marathon Oil operation, where she said the company was “paying salaries in scenery.” ey moved to Littleton in 1956 and lived there except for a couple of years at the Marathon home o ce in Ohio in the mid-1960s. ey raised their four children in Littleton’s Aberdeen Village neighborhood before divorcing in 1981.
“I had four children in six years, which can tell you pretty well what my life was like,” Ellingboe said of her time as a busy young mother, but from her earliest days in Littleton she began her community engagement by joining the League of Women Voters, going to museums and classes, and creating pottery in a local studio “to talk to big people.”
Ellingboe’s love of reading was a big part of her life, which she shared with others by working as a librarian in Iowa in the 1950s until her rst child was born in 1955, and later by buying e Book House bookstore in Englewood’s Brookridge shopping center in 1970, then moving the store to a house on Littleton’s Curtice Street near Arapahoe Community College. “I moved it from Brookridge to an old house across from ACC, which had been a dream of
mine from when we were in Ames, where there was a woman who had a bookstore in an old house,” she recalled.
Ellingboe operated e Book House until competition from chain stores led her to close the business in 1986. With her lifelong love of books remaining strong, she then returned to work as a librarian, spending the next couple years with Jefferson County’s Columbine Library.
In 1988, Ellingboe began her career as a writer, rst for the Littleton Times and then the Littleton Independent and its sister papers in the Colorado Community Media chain. Her writing career lasted 35 years until her retirement at age 93 in September 2023.
Even after health issues led her to retire, Ellingboe remained active in book clubs and kept a stack of books at hand to read along with e Denver Post, e New York Times and the Littleton Independent. She also continued to attend local artistic performances.
rough her years in Littleton, Ellingboe was active in many community organizations and cultural amenities and played a
founding role in some. ey included the League of Women Voters, Bemis Library Fine Arts Committee, Town Hall Arts Center, Littleton Business Chamber, Commission on Human Rights, Littleton Fine Arts Guild, Hudson Gardens and Event Center, Friends of the Library and Museum, Littleton Garden Club and Historic Littleton Inc.
“Most of the time we’ve been here I’ve been involved one way or another with something going on in Littleton … I get nostalgic about old things that get overwhelmed but I think we need to be changing and gaining,” Ellingboe recalled in the 2018 interview.
“I’ve been a joiner, I guess,” she added with her signature bright laugh. “I recommend it.”
Ellingboe’s career as an arts and culture writer was marked by the positivity and encouraging tone of her coverage. “Family is important to me, and so is making art accessible to as many people as possible,” she recalled. “I feel my mission in writing stories isn’t to slam something, but to get people o their sofas to go see it.”
tice Street where Ellingboe had her bookstore for many years, and in January 2024 the Littleton Arts and Culture Commission named Ellingboe as the rst-ever recipient of the City of Littleton Arts and Culture Award, with a ceremony honoring her held in March 2024. is year, the Littleton Independent received funding from the city’s Arts and Culture Grant Program to support coverage of arts and culture in Littleton and the south metro area, in honor of Ellingboe.
Ellingboe is survived by son John (Page Hartwell) Ellingboe, daughter Kirsten (Al) Orahood, daughter Karen (Peter Krasno ) Ellingboe and son Bruce (Cindy) Ellingboe; half-sister Anne Redmond; four nephews; nine grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
No public memorial service is planned, as family members note their gratitude for the many celebrations of Ellingboe’s life while she was alive. Memorial donations in Ellingboe’s name may be made to Historic Littleton Inc., P.O. Box 1004, Littleton, CO 80160; historiclittleton@gmail. com; or to the arts organization of the donor’s choice.
“I hope I’m remembered as someone who encouraged people to participate in what pleases them,” Ellingboe said in the 2018 interview. “Getting involved in your community makes a huge di erence in how your life proceeds.”
She added: “Keep moving — that’s my other advice — as long as possible.”

Nonprofits continue to feel e ects of funding pause
Paul Lhevine, head of the Colorado Nonpro t Association, elds calls every day from anxious or worried members.
“A lot of nonpro ts are still nding their federal funds being frozen,” he explained. ey call wondering, ‘Is it just because agencies and departments are still trying to play catch up with the judge’s temporary restraining order on the freezing of federal funds, or is there something more nefarious going on?’”
Right now there’s a lot of uncertainty over what the federal government is doing — or not — with federal grants and awards. A federal judge has ordered the Trump Administration to lift its freeze on federal disbursements, but many of the states involved in that lawsuit say billions of dollars remain locked up.
e White House and some Republicans at the U.S. Capitol have argued it’s normal and legitimate for a new administration to review funding.
But many of Lhevine’s members worry about what may come next for groups that often serve as a safety net in their communities.
“ ere is nothing normal about what’s going on,” he said. “It’s not just the breadth and depth of all of the executive orders. It is the sledgehammer approach to the federal government generally.”
He said it’s distressing to see a sector that does so much good for the state being left in limbo, and warns it could have bigger economic rami cations.
ere are about 12,500 nonpro ts in Colorado, “who generate $62 billion of economic impact annually. We support 180,000 jobs directly and indirectly. We are socially signi cant in as much as we are economically signi cant,” he explained.
Rebecca Samulski, executive director of Fire Adapted Colorado, said even with the judge lifting the funding freeze, some groups that participate in her wild re resilience network say they haven’t been able to receive reimbursements for past work.
“A lot of them are reliant on the regular income from their federal agreements,” she said, adding that while some could operate for about six more months, others will likely only make it a single month. e uncertainty means Samulski’s members are having a hard time moving forward with new contracts; they’re not sure they’ll be able to pay their contractors because they don’t know when the reimbursements will come.
Samulski said everyone is being conservative about their projects, “which potentially means the loss of a working season for us if it doesn’t get resolved quickly.” ose projects can range from creating fuel breaks to tree thinning.
e advice Samulski is giving to her members is to make contingency plans for how they’re going to do less, with less.
e Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver receives just under $1 million in federal funding to help provide meals for students, o er STEM programs, and make facility improvements. CEO Erin Porteous is thankful that none of their funding has been impacted yet, but she’s worried for the future.
She said the organization relies on a braided model of funding: federal, state, corporations, foundations and individual donations, which insulates it a bit from federal funding shocks. But some of the Boys and Girls Clubs’ partners rely on federal funding for as much as half of their annual budget.
“In this type of environment where those funds may go away, it can be really detrimental to the services that they’re o ering our communities,” she said.
Porteous has worked in the nonpro t sector for 20 years and she’s seen how new administrations change priorities.
e past month has been a di erent order of magnitude.
“What we haven’t ever seen before is where the entire landscape looks different, and it’s challenging to navigate, it’s challenging to anticipate what the changes may be, and, frankly, what the recourse or the outcomes of those may be for nonpro ts,” she said. “When that funding certainty isn’t there, it makes it really challenging to plan and to be able to serve the needs of the community.”
And she notes this comes at a time when many of those needs are growing.
It’s not just the nonpro t world that is concerned; local governments that partner with nonpro ts also worry about the disruption from federal funding shifts.
An o cial of one Colorado county, who was granted anonymity to speak over fears that the rest of their federal funding could be targeted, said their community relies on nonpro ts, especially for social services.
“I think they are living in a world of panic,” the o cial said of those organizations. “I’ve heard too that, not only are they not knowing where the next paycheck’s coming from, people aren’t showing up to get services from them anymore too, which is to me almost even more concerning. I feel like once you
lose that connection, it’s really going to be hard to build it back,”
e county also receives millions in federal grants for projects like infrastructure, which are now also in doubt because the funding comes from Biden-era legislation, like the In ation Reduction Act, that’s been targeted by the Trump administration.
“We start these projects with the assumption that the grants we’ve been awarded are going to come with us or come back to us,” the o cial said. “ ese are projects that once we get going, you can’t stop them. You can’t have half a road built. We can’t not pay the people we contract with to do the work. A lot of our construction work, we contract out to local businesses that do it. And that just really directly impacts the economy.”
e federal funding freeze also has the o cial wondering what local governments will look like going forward: how will they have to adjust the services they provide with less federal funding.
Boulder-based nonpro t Growing Gardens doesn’t rely on the federal government for all of its funding — like any good nonpro t, it aims to have diverse revenue streams — but the sliver of funding it gets from the federal government is an important sliver. A few years ago, the group got a $350 million grant from the USDA to more than double its community farm in Longmont, while increasing accessibility and minority involvement.
Now, one of Growing Gardens’ current grants has been put on pause. And while the group has been able to get reimbursements for their farm infrastructure project, they’re no longer sure they can count on that.
Site Director Lauren Kelso said people can agree or disagree about what the government should or shouldn’t fund, but, “that seems like a sort of thing that should be decided when Congress de-
cides to build these programs and release this funding. It absolutely should not be the sort of thing that is decided after you have signed a contract with our federal government.”
And Kelso has a question “for the billionaires running the country” — Would they tolerate working with someone who broke signed contracts with their companies without warning.
“I want to ask them if they would ever do business with an entity that’s behaving like they are?”

Colorado Summit kicks o season April 26
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLOROADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Former wide receiver Rodney Adams is making the jump from the National Football League to the Ultimate Frisbee Association, as the Golden-based Colorado Summit has signed him for the 2025 season.
e team, which plays its home games at Colorado School of Mines’ Marv Kay Stadium, recently announced Adams joining the team, con rming its the rst time an NFL veteran has signed with a UFA team.
“Rodney Adams is a game-changer for our team and the league,” Summit Coach Tim Kefalas said in a recent press release. “His professional background, athleticism and leadership will ignite our roster and drive our competitive edge. is is a historic moment that places the Summit — and Colorado — on the national sports stage.”
Adams, a 30-year-old Florida native, played football for the University
SPORTS
Golden-based pro disc team signs former NFL player for 2025 season
of South Florida from 2014-2016. His senior year, he set a school record with 67 receptions and had the second-most career touchdown receptions in program history. He was also a kick-return specialist.
Overall, Adams had 1,982 receiving yards on 16 touchdowns and 137 receptions throughout his college career.
e Minnesota Vikings selected Adams in the fth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, and he was the 170th overall draft pick. roughout his NFL career, he played for the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears, and was a reserve for the Indianapolis Colts and New York Jets.
In May 2022, the Jets waived him with a non-football injury designation.
Adams said in the Summit press release that he was excited to join the Colorado Summit and bring his NFL experience to the Ultimate Frisbee Association. He was also looking forward to winning.
“ e Summit has an incredible fan base and team spirit,” he said. “I’m excited to ... connect with Colorado’s passionate sports community.”
e Colorado Summit, which played its rst season at the University of Denver before moving to Colorado School
of Mines in summer 2023, has been voted “Best Gameday Atmosphere” for three consecutive seasons.
e team hosted an open tryout and combine Jan. 25 in the north Golden area. No ultimate disc experience was necessary, but anyone interested in joining the team had to be 18 or older to participate in the open tryout.
e Summit is one of 24 North American teams competing in the UFA, which was founded in 2012. e league’s regular season typically starts in late April or early May and ends in mid-July. Playo s run through mid-August.
e Summit ended its regular season 6-6 last year and didn’t qualify for the playo s. With Adams and other new players on its roster, the team will kick o its 2025 season with an April 26 home game, although the venue is still being determined.
Last year, due to scheduling con icts, the Summit kicked o its season at ornton’s Pinnacle Athletic Complex and didn’t play at Marv Kay Stadium until mid-May.

Girls’ hockey teams see big wins in inaugural year
10-and-under team takes title in Indiana tournament
BY RYLEE DUNN
In the United States, only about 16% of hockey players are women and girls, according to USA Hockey. But Arvada Hockey Association Executive Director John “Kibby” McKibbon is looking to boost girls’ participation after the success of the program’s inaugural year of elding all-girls teams.
McKibbon has spent 26 years with the AHA, and aside from a one-o team about 12 years ago that had “no commitment,” the 2024-2025 season marked the rst time the program has elded fulltime, all-girls teams.
is year, the program — which has over 600 boys and girls enrolled, in total — saw its 10u and 12u girls teams play a full season, while a 14u tournament team joined those groups at the Girls Irish South Bend Cup Tournament Series at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana from Feb. 21 to 23.
e 10u girls came home with a championship after besting teams from across the country, including the Indy Jr. Fuel and Las Vegas Storm, and the 12u and 14u teams also had strong showings.
McKibbon says he hopes this season is just the start of what will become a sprawling girls hockey program at AHA.
“We’re hoping, eventually, to be able to have full season teams at 10u, 12u, 14u and 16u, and maybe someday have multi-
ple teams at some of those levels, if we can continue to grow this,” McKibbon said.
Recent e orts to grow the women’s game seem to be paying o . e Professional Women’s Hockey League, which had its inaugural season last year, recently hosted a “Takeover Tour” game at Ball Arena that saw 14,000 fans cheer on the Montreal Victoire and Minnesota Frost, and McKibbon expects next year’s Winter Olympics to further bolster interest in the women’s game.
“I talked to a couple of Canadian guys this weekend (at the Notre Dame tournament) and in Canada, they have more girls starting hockey than they have boys,” he said. “And we’re typically not far behind the hockey world when it comes to (these) trends.”
McKibbon says playing on all-girls teams allows players to develop their skills in a di erent environment than they would on a co-ed team.
“ e bene ts there are — well, there’s, there’s so many,” McKibbon said. “Just being in a locker room with other females and building a team that is together for a whole season, I’ve just seen so much growth in these young ladies this year by having so much time with other female athletes. It’s been pretty rewarding.”
For many of the older girls (most of whom play on co-ed teams during the regular season), the tournament was their rst chance to play on an all-girls team.
“I didn’t have to try and t in, try to be ‘one of the guys,’ ” Tamara Hansen, a 14u player who usually plays on a co-ed team. “I was just myself. (On an all-girls team) you get to show a di erent side of
you. It’s more fun. It’s easier to bond with girls if you’re a girl.”
Hansen said a number of challenges stem from having co-ed teams, aside from the social element. Girls have to change in a separate locker room than the boys; because the boys get priority, girls are relegated to small auxiliary locker rooms or even equipment closets.
at also cuts down on team bonding opportunities post game, she added.
One of Hansen’s teammates, Allie Lindberg, said the tournament presented new opportunities on and o the ice.
“My favorite part of the tournament was obviously playing hockey, but I also loved spending time with my teammates,” Lindberg said. “It is so much fun to hang out with the girls on this team, and I will miss them a lot.”
Although the 14u team didn’t have the chance to play on an all-girls team throughout the regular season, McKibbon said their mentorship of the program’s younger players has been vital to the organization.
“ ose older ladies in our program have been great mentors and great athletes for our other girls to look up to,” he said. “My hat’s o to them, and I really appreciate them. I feel some guilt, to be honest with you, that we haven’t been able to have a full season (for the 14u girls team).
“But their legacy, and the fact that they stayed with it and played the game, and we were able to get some girls-only programming, hopefully was acceptable,” McKibbon continued.
e sport traditionally has had a high barrier of entry because of the expense of
ice time and gear. AHA o ers assistance with gear for kids just trying hockey, and the Colorado Avalanche’s Mile High Mites program has had a good deal of success with getting kids involved.
McKibbon says the organization has had to get creative, as its home rink, the Apex Center, has just two ice sheets, and nding times for all of the club’s programs is tricky. He believes it’s worth the e ort.
“More girls should play hockey so that this team can be an option for all of us,” Lindberg said. “ is year we were supposed to have an all-girls season team but there weren’t enough (girls), so it was a tournament team. If more girls play, we can make this team year-round so that everybody can experience being on a team like this.”
Addie Jade Brooker, who plays for AHA’s 14u team, said she also hopes more girls play so that there are more opportunities for everyone.
“It’s fun, and we need to have more girls teams,” Brooker said.
McKibbon said that while the early morning practices and long travel to games can be di cult, the e ort from parents to make their children’s hockey dreams come true is worth it, and AHA will continue to foster a love for the game in the local community.
“We’ve got a large group of people who are committed to making this program grow and be successful, from coaching sta to volunteers, to parents and notwithstanding our female athletes and especially our older ones, who are really … the leaders in establishing this legacy,” McKibbon said.
