Winners and losers in school ﬁnance bill

Shift to weighted model has wide range of e ects on metro districts

BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado lawmakers on May 7 nalized a sweeping shift in how the state funds public schools, passing House Bill 25-1320 on the nal day of the 2025 legislative session. While most districts will see a boost in the coming year, a slow but steady transition toward a new weighted formula will leave some districts, including Je erson County, facing signi cant nancial challenges.

is shift in public school funding comes as lawmakers worked this spring to pass the 2025 School Finance Act against the backdrop of a $1.2 billion state budget shortfall. Initially, districts with declining enrollment faced steep potential cuts under a proposal championed by Gov. Jared Polis to eliminate “ghost students” from funding counts.

On a windy spring morning, ames shot skyward as re science students from Je co Public Schools’ Warren Tech Central crouched in full gear, ready to knock down the blaze they’d just ignited. e burn was the centerpiece of Fire Investigation Day, a cross-program simulation that brought together students from re science, forensic science, building trades and criminal justice to re-create and investigate a re scene.

“ is demonstration allows the students to see how they would collaborate with another department in an actual emergency,” said Martha Patton, associate principal at Warren Tech, emphasizing the real-world, interdisciplinary value of the event.

e exercise required students to think like professionals and solve an unfolding mystery in real time. Students rotated through roles throughout the day, observing re behavior, conducting interviews, collecting evidence and analyzing burn patterns.

Before any ames could rise or evidence could be gathered, students rst had to construct the scene of the future crime.

“ is structure was built to code, and what we saw today is that the re didn’t come through the walls,” Sprenkle said. “ at’s a testament to what good construction can do. It held up the way it was supposed to.”

“We light it, destroy it and then start over next year,” he added. “ e process of rebuilding teaches just as much as the investigation.”

e structure included drywall, furniture, personal belongings and blood evidence to simulate a realistic re scene.

Forensic and criminal justice students solve the mystery

However, after weeks of negotiations, a bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a compromise that preserves more stability for districts while slightly slowing the transition to the new weighted formula.

e compromise maintains the use of a four-year student enrollment average for the next year, protecting districts with declining enrollment and phases in the new formula more gradually over seven years instead of six.

It also sets a statutory minimum for total statewide funding in the 2025-26 school year, requiring the state to allocate at least $10 billion for all districts and institute charter schools combined.

is gure will be updated midyear based on actual enrollment, assessed valuations and local tax revenue.

e nal bill also caps state construction grants at $150 million to free up additional operational funding.

“We intentionally set a re to establish a crime scene,” said Rob Sprenkle, re investigator with South Metro Fire Rescue and co-creator of Fire Investigation Day. “We’ve placed a bunch of evidence inside of these cells for them to nd and properly process.”

Once the ames were out and the smoldering structure cooled, another set of students stepped in to piece together what happened inside.

Even with these adjustments, school funding will increase statewide next year, although some districts with shrinking enrollment will see no additional money beyond a “hold harmless” guarantee — a provision that ensures districts receive at least as much funding as the previous year, even if their enrollment declines.

Wheat Ridge development receives CHFA tax credits

BY COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA STAFF ERIC@COTLN.ORG

e Colorado Housing and Finance Authority announced on May 9 that 12 developments have been awarded a reservation of federal and state housing tax credits to support the construction or preservation of 679 a ordable rental housing units in Colorado.

e authority stated this includes awards of transit-oriented communities credit to seven developments. e credit is a new state housing tax credit that supports a ordable rental housing development near transit.

In Wheat Ridge, the Ives II project will be a newly constructed four-story development combining paired federal 9% and 4% credit awards serving individuals and families.

e city of Wheat Ridge donated the land at the corner of 44th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard, and the sponsor, Foothills Regional Housing, will provide 30 project-based vouchers. Residents will have access to services provided by Je erson Center for Mental Health at Ives I, which is adjacent to Ives II, according to the authority.

Additionally, other services will be provided by Developmental Disability Resource Center. e site is adjacent to a bus stop and within a half mile of an elementary school, grocery store, shopping center, park and other amenities. e property will be built with an electri cation-ready and photovoltaic-ready design.

Mexican national arrested with 5 kilos of fentanyl pills near Denver

Wanted on sex assault warrant, FBI

says he

is in ICE custody

BY COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA STAFF ERIC@COTLN.ORG

Je erson County Sheri ’s O ce deputies arrested a Mexican national April 28 in possession of nearly 5 kilograms of the narcotic fentanyl near Interstate 70 and Harlan Street just outside of Denver. e suspect had an arrest warrant from his home country of a sexual assault charges.

According to the FBI in Denver, Dario Perez Quintero was residing in Colorado without authorization. e FBI worked with local partners to track Quintero to Evergreen, and then agents worked with local partners from the Je erson County Sheri ’s O ce to apprehend him.

Of the units that received funding, 30 will be one-bedroom, 20 will be two-bedroom and four three-bedroom. Six of them will be reserved for tenant income restrictions at 30% area median income, seven for 40%, 12 for 60% AMI and 29 for 70%.

e federal 9% credit awarded totaled $1.6 million, with an additional standard state credit at $650,000 and a transientoriented community credit of $70,200.

An additional 44 units with similar income restrictions received a federal 4% credit for $772,287 as well as the same standard state credit and a transient-oriented community credit of $57,200.

e total private sector equity estimated to be raised by the credit awarded during this round exceeds $207.4 million, according to the authority. Developments awarded will seek to address various housing needs in Colorado, supporting households with low and moderate incomes, individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness, and

older adults.

Developments supported will be located in Alamosa, Aurora, Brighton, Denver, Fort Collins, Frisco, Superior, Trinidad, Westminster and Wheat Ridge. Since the program was created in 1986, CHFA has served as the allocating agency for housing tax credits in Colorado. Tax credits are the most widely used tool for nancing a ordable rental housing in the nation. Since its inception, the program has helped build or preserve more than 80,000 a ordable rental housing units in Colorado.

Je co deputies stated Quintero was stopped, initially for speeding, while driving a black Ford Explorer. Once the sheri ’s o ce deployed a K-9 unit to assist, the fentanyl pills were discovered. e sheri ’s o ce stated the amount of pills in Quintero’s possession equal about $1 million in street value.

Vikki Migoya, a public information o cial with the FBI in Denver, told Colorado Community Media that Quintero did not face federal charges in Colorado at the time of his arrest.

“We found the fentanyl pills when we apprehended him on the Mexican warrant,” Migoya said. “It is my understanding that this individual was turned over to (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).”

Lakewood planning commission approves Belmar Park apartment site plan

Contested development now needs approval of building permits to move forward

BY COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA STAFF

ERIC@COTLN.ORG

e Lakewood Planning Commission voted unanimously on May 7 to approve the site plan for the contested planned development of an apartment complex near Belmar Park.

e residential building, which is slated for 777 S. Yarrow St. e property owner is looking to redevelop the site with a 6-story, 411-unit multifamily building.

“Normally, the determination on whether a site plan meets the zoning requirements is performed administratively by sta , and there is no public input or re-

view by city council,” a statement from the city following the vote. “In this case, the planning director referred the decisionmaking to the planning commission because of the community concern about the proposed development and to provide transparency about the scope of the authority that the zoning requirements provide in reviewing developments.”

Lakewood anticipates building permits will be issued and construction on the site will commence later this year. According to city documents, a school land dedication fee of $328,800 and a parkland dedication fee of about $1.46 million must be paid before any building permits can be issued.

As previously reported by Colorado Community Media, Belmar Owner LLC and Kairoi Properties LLC, developers Belmar Owner LLC and Kairoi Properties LLC, developers of a planned 412-unit luxury apartment building at Belmar Park,

sued the city of Lakewood in December. e developers claim the city’s new parkland dedication requirements are illegal, making its planned housing projects impossible.

In January, a Je erson County judge granted Kairoi a preliminary injunction, allowing the apartment project to proceed while the case progresses.

Members of Save Belmar Park, a citizenled group advocating for the preservation of open space, argued the city of Lakewood had failed to defend a citizen-led ordinance the council adopted after the group submitted the required number of signatures, leaving residents in opposition to the move no choice but to step in.

Dozens of people submitted public comment letters in opposition to the planning commission granting the developers the right to continue with their project, claiming the development would be ruinous to the park.

In response to concerns about Belmar Park, it is requiring the developers to do the following:

• Dedicate 8,600 square feet to parkland designation on the development’s property next to the park that involves a historic pumphouse and preserves the viable trees;

• No trees are to be removed or affected in the adjacent Belmar Park;

• Pay a $415,200 mitigation fee to compensate for removal of 66 trees on the development’s property. e fee will pay for tree plantings in Belmar Park including immediately adjacent to the development, shrub planting in Belmar Park to support wildlife habitat and the planting of trees in Ward 3, where this development is located; and

• 174 trees are to be planted along with 2,054 shrubs to be planted and seven trees to be preserved on the development’s property.

The ﬁrst phase of The Ives is already complete and is occupied. A bond assigned by the city of Wheat Ridge for the second phase of construction will include more units and larger units for families. COURTESY FOOTHILLS REGIONAL HOUSING

Wait to Save

for A Downpayment — Here’s How You Can Start Building Equity Now

For many would-be homebuyers in Colorado, the biggest obstacle isn’t affording monthly payments — it’s saving up for a down payment. But there’s a lesser-known solution: a unique down payment assistance program connected to FHA that offers generous terms with fewer limitations than many alternatives.

I learned about this program from Jaxzann Riggs, owner of The Mortgage Network, who explained how this option helps buyers get into homes sooner - with little or no money out of pocket.

“Some buyers have strong income and credit, but they just haven’t been able to save enough for a down payment,” she told me. “This program bridges that gap - without the typical income or location restrictions.”

HOAP, and MetroDPA, these programs often have income caps and/or location limits.

But as stated before, the national FHAbacked option offers broader eligibility, no income or area restrictions, and more flexible terms, making it a strong option for buyers who are ready now.

rising-rate environment.

Additionally, this program allows for higher debt-to-income (DTI) ratios, a hallmark of FHA financing. That means borrowers with student loans or other debt may still qualify.

Why This Matters Now

A Powerful Alternative to Traditional Down Payment Assistance (DPA)

This FHA-approved assistance is more flexible than many state or local programs. It comes in the form of a second mortgage behind an FHA loan, but here’s the twist: there are no income limits, no geographic restrictions, and more flexibility within FHA guidelines, compared to a conventional loan.

Buyers can use this program whether or not they’re a first-time homebuyer. It’s designed for those who are financially ready to buy but need help covering the minimum 3.5% down payment or closing costs.

While Colorado offers down payment help through programs like CHFA, CHAC,

With rents and home prices both climbing, waiting to save for a traditional down payment could cost more in the long run. Getting into a home today versus two or three years from now allows you to start building equity instead of continuing to pay rent.

“Every month you rent is a month you’re not gaining ownership,” Jaxzann says. “This program gives you a way to step into the market faster and start growing wealth.”

Keep in Mind: Not All FHA Loans Are Eligible It’s important to note that this assistance applies only to new FHA purchases. If you already have an FHA loan, you won’t qualify for this specific program — but there’s still a silver lining. FHA loans are assumable, meaning a future buyer could take over your low-interest mortgage without a rate hike, an incredibly valuable feature in a

“You can’t beat the ability to transfer a loan with no escalation in rate,” Jaxzann points out. “That’s something worth knowing if you already have an FHA loan.” Homeowners with existing low-rate FHA mortgages are sitting on a very valuable asset. When it is time to sell, they should consider allowing the new prospective purchaser to “assume” their existing loan.

This is done by having the prospective purchaser apply for a “qualifying assumption” with the lender that is currently servicing the loan. Because the prospective owner is qualifying to assume the existing loan, the original borrower is released from all future liability for the loan while allowing the new purchaser/owner to keep the original mortgage interest rate. The difference between the current loan balance and the purchase price of the home is paid to the seller in cash.

Weighing the Trade-Offs

As with most zero-down options, there are considerations:

 Interest rates will be higher than traditional FHA loans with full down payments. On a $500,000 home, that might mean around $550 more per month.

 You will have to pay off any remaining balance on the second mortgage when you refinance or sell.

 All FHA loans require mortgage insurance on the loan. This insurance protects the lender in the event of foreclosure.

Unlike mortgage insurance on conventional mortgages, 30 year fixed rate FHA loans require that the mortgage insurance remain in place for the life of the loan.

 You must intend to live in the home as your primary residence at the time of purchase.

Still, for many buyers, the ability to get into a home now outweighs the costs.

“This program can open doors much sooner than people think,” Jaxzann told me.

“This is ideal for households with two incomes and/or those that might have been denied down payment assistance in the past because they exceed income limitations for other programs. If you’re ready to buy but short on upfront funds, it’s absolutely worth exploring.”

FINANCE BILL

By 2027-28, the transition will accelerate, and by 2031-32, Colorado plans to fully fund schools using the new formula.

How several major metro districts are affected

A look at ve of Colorado’s largest districts shows how uneven the impact will be over time, according to the scal note attached to House Bill 25-1320 and data from the Colorado Department of Education:

• Adams 12 Five Star Schools: Relatively at. For the 2024-25 school year, Adams 12 received a slight funding increase over the 2023-24 school year. However, by 2025-26, the district is projected to face a slight decrease of approximately 1.6%. Ongoing enrollment declines and fewer qualifying high-needs students are under the new weighted formula, contributing to this dip.

• Adams County School District 14: Small drop. Adams 14 saw at funding for 2024-25 compared to the previous year. For 2025-26, projections show a minimal decrease of about 0.6%. Despite longterm enrollment loss, the district’s high concentration of at-risk and multilingual learners helps stabilize funding levels.

• Cherry Creek Schools: Solid increases. Cherry Creek Schools received a solid funding increase in 2024-25 and is projected to receive an even larger one in 2025-26, with a projected gain of 7.8%. Stable enrollment and a growing population of at-risk and multilingual learners align well with the new funding priorities, placing Cherry Creek in a strong nancial position. While its enrollment has remained stable, Cherry Creek’s at-risk and multilingual student populations have

grown. at demographic shift aligns with the new weighted funding priorities, resulting in a projected 7.8% increase in funding from 2024-25 to 2025-26.

• Douglas County School District: Relatively at. Douglas County saw a modest increase in 2024-25 and is projected for a at to slight increase of about 0.8% in 2025-26. While enrollment is declining, strong local property wealth and demographic balancing help the district maintain relative stability under the phased-in new formula.

• Je erson County Public Schools: Steep losses. Je co Public Schools is protected from immediate funding cuts in 2024-25, thanks to the hold harmless provision. For the 2025-26 school year, the district is guaranteed to receive at least as much funding as it did in the 2024-25 school year.

However, long-term challenges are building. Without the hold-harmless protections, scal note projections show Je co would face a 14.9% drop in total program funding under the state’s new weighted formula. Several factors are driving this risk:

Several factors are converging:

• Enrollment loss: Je co’s student population continues to shrink, reducing its funding needs under both formulas.

• Property value surge: Rising home values increase local tax collections, reducing the amount of state funding Je co quali es for.

• New formula weighting: e new funding model places greater emphasis on at-risk and multilingual learners, areas where Jeffco’s demographics o er fewer additional dollars compared to other metro districts.

What the shift means for metro districts e 2025-26 school year marks the beginning of Colorado’s shift toward a new vision of school funding, one that prioritizes student needs more heavily but also

leaves some communities facing complex adjustments.

While families may not notice dramatic changes immediately, the foundation for bigger nancial shifts is being laid now. Districts like Je co and Adams 12 will need to plan carefully to navigate tighter budgets, while Cherry Creek and others may nd new opportunities to invest in expanded programs and services.

e hold harmless protection provides a temporary cushion, but districts like Je co face growing nancial challenges as the transition accelerates. By the end of the decade, Colorado’s school nance landscape will look very di erent from what it does today.

Charter schools will also see a share of the phased-in formula funding.

Another late-session amendment requires that charter and institute charter schools receive a per-pupil amount tied to their authorizing district’s incremental

increase

in 2025-26, ensuring they bene t proportionally as Colorado begins implementing the new formula.

Federal order is threat to in-state tuition

Executive order aimed at ‘sanctuary city’ policies

BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT

Undocumented students in Colorado have gone on to be teachers, nurses and business owners thanks to a program that allows them to pay in-state tuition at public universities.

Now the future of that program and ones like it in 23 other states are in doubt after President Donald Trump signed an executive order that seeks to punish states and cities with so-called sanctuary policies.

e order, signed April 28, also specically calls out programs that provide instate tuition for undocumented students who graduated from high school in that state or who meet other residency requirements.

Allowing in-state students who are not citizens to pay less tuition than out-ofstate students who are citizens represents discrimination, according to the order, which says that the attorney general, in cooperation with the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, “shall identify and take appropriate action to stop the enforcement of state and local laws, regulations, policies, and practices favoring aliens over any groups of American citizens that are unlawful.”

Advocates for immigrant students say that without in-state tuition, many undocumented students will struggle to afford college. ey don’t qualify for any federal nancial aid and face other barriers to college.

“ is is absolutely essential for immigrant students,” said Raquel Lane-Arellano, communications manager for the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, which fought to pass Colorado’s in-state tuition law in 2013. “It’s not these students’ fault that our immigration system is so broken. ey deserve the opportunity, just like all of their peers, to access higher levels of education.”

So far, Colorado universities are not making any immediate changes to their policies.

“ e executive order does not provide enough details to truly know what federal actions will be taken,” said Colorado Department of Higher Education spokesperson Megan McDermott.

e Trump order sets up a possible legal showdown over the state-supported tuition programs that immigrant rights and higher education-advising groups have

called essential to help undocumented students access higher education and educate them to ll in-demand jobs.

Twenty-four states, including Colorado, Illinois, New York, and New Jersey, along with Washington, D.C. have programs that allow undocumented students to pay in-state tuition. While the programs have received bipartisan support, Republicans in several states have recently led bills to consider rolling back in-state tuition for undocumented students. Last week, Florida lawmakers ended the state’s decade-old program.

e order adds to an already uncertain environment for immigrant students, who worry about the risks of lling out nancial aid paperwork while grappling with deportation fears. Denver Scholarship Foundation’s Natasha Gar eld said the college-advising nonpro t will continue to provide students information about their options and allow them to decide whether college is right for them during a time when Trump’s immigration stance has brought incredible uncertainty.

“ ere are some who are very, very concerned about the state of things, and I don’t think there’s anything that DSF or anyone else could say to reassure them,” said Gar eld, the scholarship organization’s director of scholarships and nancial aid. “I think that’s completely understandable given some of the actions that we’ve seen coming from ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and the federal government.”

e order is part of Trump’s larger push to crack down on people in the United States without legal authorization. His directive to punish states with these programs also included several other enforcement actions such as punishing so-called sanctuary cities and states. e administration led suit Friday against Colorado and Denver for its policies. e administration argues in the order that some state and local o cials use their “authority to violate, obstruct, and defy the enforcement of federal immigration laws. is is a lawless insurrection against the supremacy of Federal law.”

States have a long history of o ering in-state tuition at public universities to youth who were brought as children and without legal status. Texas and California passed the rst laws in 2001, and other states followed with similar laws. Each varies in how they approach granting instate tuition.

About 408,000 undocumented students enroll in higher education each year, although not all bene t from these state programs, according to the Higher Ed Immigration Portal. However, even in states without these laws, some private schools in Tennessee and elsewhere may o er in-state tuition for all students regardless of their residency or legal status. And in Pennsylvania, at least one public institution provides in-state tuition to undocumented students.

Colorado’s Advising Students for a Stronger Tomorrow law, or ASSET, updated in 2019, says students must have

attended a Colorado high school for at least one year before graduation or been physically present in Colorado for at least one year to qualify for in-state tuition.

New York’s law says students must have attended at least two years of high school in New York and graduate or receive a general education diploma. Students must also apply to a college or university within ve years and show proof of residency. ey must also sign an a davit saying they will le for legal status.

Illinois’ law has similar requirements, while New Jersey requires three years of residency.

National student immigrant advocacy organizations FWD.us, eDream.US, and the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration all criticized the order. Collectively, they said states, colleges, and universities shouldn’t overreact and that the order hurts states that need quali ed workers.

“Blocking states from o ering in-state tuition to undocumented students who have lived in these states for most of their lives would purposefully lock countless individuals out of the higher education system, waste years of educational investment, hurt local economies, and rob all Americans of future leaders,” said Todd Schulte, FWD.us president.

State leaders are still working to understand the impact of the order, and a spokesperson for Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement the administration is looking into the impacts of this order. e state remains committed to ensuring the state remains a destination for all learners, the statement says. e state has not led any legal action against the order, but leaders have been willing to push back on Trump administration orders.

Colorado’s largest university system also doesn’t plan changes at this time. University of Colorado System spokesperson Michele Ames said its schools are committed to following applicable laws and will not make any changes at this time. Other universities, such as the University of Northern Colorado, are monitoring the actions.

Schools across the state have also said that they won’t release individual student information, such as information about undocumented students who attend schools through the ASSET program, to the federal government without a court order or warrant, per federal student privacy laws.

114 ﬁred from NREL as part of Trump cuts

President ridicules green energy e orts amid proposed $20B cut to Energy

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

e National Renewable Energy Lab in Golden red 114 of its thousands of sta ers and contractors May 5, as part of the Trump administration’s e orts to sharply trim research spending across nearly all elds supported by federal agencies in the past.

e laboratory sta laid o includes employees and subcontractors in both research and operations, NREL said in a statement. “We appreciate their meaningful contributions to the laboratory. NREL’s mission continues to be critical to achieve an a ordable and secure energy future,” the statement said.

But the layo s could just be the start of slashes to the 3,675 employees NREL most recently listed on its website, if President Trump’s scal 2026 budget proposal survives at all intact through Congress. e White House is pitching $19.3 billion in cuts to the Department of Energy’s allotted 2025 spending, according to the website utilitydive.com.

e White House budget request goes out of its way to ridicule renewable energy research and subsidies promoted heavily by the Biden and Obama administrations: “ e Budget cancels over $15 billion in Green New Scam funds committed to build unreliable renewable energy, removing carbon dioxide from the air, and other costly technologies burdensome to ratepayers

and consumers,” the budget proposal says.

“NREL continues to navigate a complexnancial and operational landscape shaped by the issuance of stop work orders from federal agencies, new federal directives, and budgetary shifts. As a result, NREL has experienced workforce impacts a ecting 114 employees across the laboratory, including sta from both research and operations, who were involuntarily separated today,” NREL’s statement said.

e Golden lab runs premier international research facilities and experiments in improving wind turbines and solar photovoltaic cells for power generation, in addition to dozens of other programs in biofuels, e ciency, hydrogen and fuel cells, transportation, and more.

e lab frequently partners with universities and private business on innovative projects, such as the Colorado “SunTrain” proposal late in 2024.

NREL was to help Colorado government, Xcel and entrepreneurs apply for a $10 million grant to run trains with massive batteries charged up by solar and wind farms on the Eastern Plains.

e trains could then roll into metro Denver or any other area in need of large-scale energy storage and output.

Some fans of the lab’s work had been encouraged it would maintain a top role in government research through involvement in Trumpfavored concepts.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright came to the Golden lab in early April to promote a Trump administration plan for a private data center and power plant on land owned by NREL. e administration plans such facilities at 16 national laboratories.

Anxiety steers economic indicators, report says

BY SARAH MULHOLLAND CPR NEWS

Colorado economic signals are mixed as businesses try to make sense of President Donald Trump’s ip- ops on tari s. e number of people ling to start a business was up in the rst quarter compared to the end of last year, according to a joint report from the University of Colorado’s Leeds School of Business and the Secretary of State’s O ce. At the same time, the state’s executives are feeling deeply anxious about how the new administration’s trade policies are going to impact their bottom lines, the report found.

“ e indicators in this report do not show any immediate or signi cant economic disruption to Colorado … but it does show business leaders in Colorado are nervous about these disruptions,” Secretary of State Jena Griswold said during a webinar about the report.

Colorado’s economy started slowing before Trump was sworn in for his second term. As of April, the state added 2,300 jobs during the prior 12 months, which equates to a growth rate of 0.1 percent. at compares to the U.S. rate of 1.2 percent.

Colorado now ranks 44th for job growth among the 50 states and Washington, D.C. “We were hard-charging for a long time.

Communicating through the storm

We are living in a time of incredible pressure, and tragically, it’s our children who are carrying the heaviest burden. Anxiety and depression among children and teens have skyrocketed, with every credible study pointing to culprits like social media, internet access, and mounting academic, athletic, and social expectations. It’s overwhelming — and that’s putting it lightly.

It’s easy to point ngers at TikTok, Instagram, and the endless pursuit of “perfection.” And sure, those factors are real. But if we’re serious about loving and leading our families, we must ask the harder question: Are we doing enough at home to ease their worries, doubts, and fears?

WINNING

As cameras panned the audience, thousands wiped away tears. Sitting beside me was Zig’s son, Tom Ziglar, a grown man and CEO, with tears streaming down his face. When I asked if Zig had done that for him, Tom smiled through the tears and said, “Yes. And he still does, even now.”

SKINNER

For most of us, the honest answer is not yet.

e Critical Role of Communication. Communication isn’t a “nice-to-have” in this battle for our children’s hearts and minds, it’s everything. And not just when problems show up. Proactive, frequent communication. Maybe even, dare I say it, over-communication.

Our kids navigate a digital battle eld every day. e loudest voices tell them they aren’t good enough. If we don’t ll their emotional tanks with hope, encouragement, love, and acceptance, someone else will, and it will be with poison, not lifegiving truth.

I’ll never forget an incredible moment I witnessed with Zig Ziglar, one of the greatest motivational speakers ever.

At a packed seminar, a man stepped to the mic, thanking Zig for shaping his own life but sharing that his son was struggling. Zig’s response was pure wisdom: He told the man to sit on his son’s bed, look him in the eyes, and say:

“Son, I am so glad God entrusted me with your life. You are a blessing to me. I am proud of you. And I love you.”

Zig encouraged him to say it every morning and night, not once, not when convenient, but every day.

Memorial, will wonder why Americans abandoned such a good idea.

Linda S. Lodenkamper, Wheat Ridge

The politics around ‘our safety’s sake’ While I agree that U.S. and Colorado political beliefs are well divided today. I deeply disagree that “America today is like England” of its past, Jerry Fabyanic’s May 1 editorial perspective and the headline, “For our own safety’s sake.”

U.S. citizens today are no more in trouble safety wise now than when the Democrat Party recently led this country. Politically opposed people will even argue we are less in trouble.

I, like Jerry, love our country and am a student of American history but I know of more dark periods than simply disagreeing with U.S. political ideologies such as the Communism scares, he is writing to of the 20th century. I also know of more egregious violations of our Fifth Amendment and in Colorado’s assistance in helping create the 14th Amendment with the Sand Creek Massacre. No punishments to those who committed these atrocities even as the people of Denver then cheered their e orts as they displayed their grisly trophies on parade. is is why a single piece of justice Col-

and

ink about that: A father who never stopped telling his grown son how proud he was. Every single day.

Fighting for eir Hearts. If we want to lead and love our children in today’s chaotic world, we must show up with our words, not just advice or correction, but daily, intentional a rmation.

ey need to hear it when they get straight A’s.

ey need to hear it when they fail a test. ey need to hear it when they make us proud, and especially when they break our hearts.

Because mistakes don’t de ne them, grace does. Growth does. And our unwavering love does.

Our communication must be a ood of love, encouragement, and constant reminders that they are more than enough that no failure can separate them from our love, and no outside voice can ever be louder than the voice of their family. e pressures and dangers are real. But so is our power to counteract them. If we don’t communicate, the world will. If we communicate relentlessly, intentionally, and lovingly, we can raise a generation that walks through the storm without losing their way.

Let’s speak up, every day, every chance we get. eir future depends on it. I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we intentionally communicate through the storm, it really will be a better-than-good life.

orado accomplished for this xenophobia act with the renaming of the peak that overlooks Denver, to Mount Blue Sky from Mount Evans. is past name of Colorado’s territorial governor who was personally responsible for the depriving of these lives of American men, women and children.

e current multiple medias battles of selected words to scare U.S. citizens against the current federal administration are my greatest safety concerns. is is also the reasoning why the Arvada Press is the only newspaper allowed in my own Arvada home. As a “freedom-loving” American I gasp at the multiple news media scare attacks and the current practice of select justice system’s judge’s rulings placed over another branch of our government’s executive branch’s orders.

It is past time all our government representatives understood they are working for all the people in our country, not one political party. at all people in the USA are di erent with multiple desires, issues, needs and wants. Mistakes are going to happen even with due process laws for “all,” which happened to this criminal and El Salvadorian citizen Mr. Garcia. e Alien Enemies Act was not a wartime creation in 1798. It was a lawful e ort by a very new country to quickly remove dangerous individuals. So, please stop all these political boosts and threats for one or the other U.S. political parties.

Bemis Public Library

6014 S. Datura St., Littleton, CO 80120

Nestled in a sleepy grove across from the Littleton Historical Museum, Bemis Public Library is one of the few independent libraries in the metro area, meaning it is not part of any library system.

Instead, the library was built by the City of LIttleton in 1965 and is the namesake for former Littleton Independent Publisher Edwin A. Bemis.

Now, the library — which is walking distance from Downtown Littleton — sports a large kid’s section that sometimes hosts storytimes, as well as a teen area that is separated from the rest of the library.

Bemis Public LIbrary is also home to resources for

groups the library welcomes through its doors. e library also eliminated overdue fees in 2023 as an e ort to become more equitable to patrons.

Koelbel Library, Arapahoe Libraries

5955 S. Holly St., Centennial, CO 80121

Arapahoe Libraries comprises eight community libraries, a jail library and a bookmobile, all of which provide valuable resources to their patrons.

Oliver Sanidas, the executive director of Arapahoe Libraries, said that Koelbel Library in particular offers unique programming thanks to its cafe, meeting spaces, 39-seat theater, outdoor space and public art installations.

“We want to provide a place and services that help meet not only the information needs of our patrons, but also the social needs,” Sanidas said. “ e library provides a place for people to connect with others who

share their interests and passions. We do this through events and programs, and by providing spaces for patrons to meet, work and enjoy fun activities.”

Sanidas said that meetings rooms are used for birthday parties, business owners use the library’s cafe to meet with clients, tutors can meet with students and adults participate in book clubs and open mic nights at the library’s facilities.

“We want our library to be a community hub,” Sanie library’s cafe serves bites and sips from local vendors, and o ers a rotating series of drink speciale. e Koelbel Library Cafe is currently featuring a Purple Rain Latte, a Crimson and Clover Latte and a Strawberry Fields Lemonade.

Anythink Wright Farms, Anythink Libraries

5877 E. 120th Ave., ornton, CO 80602

Anythink Libraries branches o er all of the usual trappings of a library with a fun added twist: TryIts, a program wherein a patron can check out a kite, tarot deck, toy, musical instrument, games and more. e program is o ered throughout the Anythink system. e library system’s agship branch, located at Wright Farms, features a digital lab featuring video, audio and design software that allows teens to work on their digital editing skills and push their creativity. e agship branch also contains a one-acre park adjacent to the li-

Castle Rock Public Library, Douglas County Libraries

100 S. Wilcox St., Castle Rock, CO 80104

e new Phillip and Jerry Miller Library in Castle Rock was built in 2023 and was constructed with an emphasis on creating space for working adults, families and Douglas County history.

“ e Castle Rock location features two outdoor Aloha Plazas East and West, an interactive children’s play space called e Ranch, sponsored by Castle Rock Rotary Club, and DCL’s Archives & Local History, its collections and the Sjostrom History Lounge reading room,” said Melissa Anciaux, the sta writer for Douglas County Libraries.

e branch replaced the old Phillip S. Miller Library that stood at the same location.

Douglas County Libraries also partners with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which o ers books to children up to 5 years old that the youngsters are able to keep.

Can you solve Thomas Riha’s disappearance?

Many people think of museums as places that have all the answers, but that’s not always the case. And sometimes that makes for a more intriguing story.

Such is the case for the latest exhibition at the History Colorado Center, e Disappearance of omas Riha, which takes a local mystery and investigates the many remaining unanswered questions.

“ is is a true crime cold case that’s never been told publicly in a museum setting,” said Katherine Mercier, exhibition developer and historian at History Colorado. “We felt we nally had the space to experiment with the kind of exhibit we’ve never done before.”

e Disappearance of omas Riha will be on display at the Center, 1200 Broadway, Denver in Denver, through March 15.

According to the provided information, the exhibit tells the story of University of Colorado Boulder Russian history professor omas Riha, who vanished on March 15, 1969, right in the middle of the Cold War.

e exhibition features never-beforedisplayed declassi ed documents from the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and is deepened by History Colorado’s archives. Museum researchers had a wide range of materials to use, including the journals of a woman who may or may not have played a role in Riha’s disappearance.

“Despite the case never being solved, we have hundreds of pages in our collection that provide unique insights,” Mercier explained. “We don’t claim to have the answer as to what happened, but

COMING ATTRACTIONS

we want people to be able to go through the evidence and come up with their own theories. ere’s even a space at the end of the exhibition where guests can share them.”

While the mystery is the main draw of the exhibit, Mercier said she also hopes visitors get a glimpse of Colorado’s role as a hotbed of activity during the Cold War. With sites like Rocky Flats and the Air Force Academy, the state saw plenty of intrigue.

“People may not understand how big the Cold War was and how it integrated itself into everybody’s life,” she said. “I hope people think about what it would’ve felt like to be living at the time and how they would cope.”

Riha’s disappearance received a great deal of press coverage at the time, but eventually faded away, leaving everyone without answers. So, this exhibit was carefully designed to also include the stories of the people who were a ected.

“ e exhibit focuses on the people and lives that were wrapped up in the events,” Mercier said. “ omas had a family that never got answers about what happened to him. is is ultimately a story about humanity.”
