White Swan Motel embarks on new path How it could become a model for helping homeless families

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lauren Coleman is on a mission.

For years, that mission was to build a high-end, luxury boutique motel catering to young-ish, cool travelers who value unique, authentic experiences over run-ofthe-mill or cliché. It would be the kind of place where locally sourced art and amenities adorned the rooms, and customers could buy those newly discovered treasures

before checking out and jetting back home.

But somewhere along the way to achieving her goal, fate, opportunity and circumstance collided on West Colfax Avenue in Lakewood.

Armed with a business plan, pitch deck and enough enthusiasm for several average humans, Coleman set out to purchase a motel, kicking her dream into gear.

The problem, she soon learned, was that bankers weren’t exactly tripping over themselves to loan her the kind of money it takes to buy a dilapidated motel and turn it into a hipster paradise.

“I was really naive, which worked in my favor,” she says. “Because it’s a lot of work to get into commercial real estate and finance — it’s

all just rich old white dudes, and I was a 27-year-old with no experience. Why would they even take a meeting with me?”

She said she probably pitched the idea 3,000 times to random people while trying to get meetings with banks that wouldn’t sit down with her. But perseverance finally (kind of) won out. Coleman said she almost had financing for the purchase and redevelopment of the White Swan in place — and then the pandemic hit.

So, she decided to make a pivot of epic proportions.

By this time, banks weren’t lending to inexperienced 30-year-olds for hospitality projects. They were, SEE MOTEL, P16

In August, an Arapahoe County jury found Alex Ewing, 61, guilty of the 1984 Aurora killings of Bruce, Debra and Melissa Bennett.

Ewing was also scheduled to stand trial in Jefferson County for the 1984 sexual assault and murder of Patricia Smith of Lakewood, last month.

But just one day into the Jeffco trial, Ewings’ lawyers requested a mistrial, to allow for Ewing an evaluation of his mental competence.

The statutory process to determine competency is for the court to order the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo (CMHIP) to prepare an evaluation. In this case, the evaluation was performed by two licensed psychologists.

According to the Jeffco DA’s office, CMHIP provided the court and interested parties a report finding Ewing competent to stand trial on Nov. 11. The finding was not contested.

On Nov. 15, Russell formally entered a finding that Ewing is competent to proceed and set the jury trial to begin on March 25, 2022.

Ewing was serving time in an Arizona prison when a DNA match linked him to the Bennett and Smith cases that had gone unsolved for decades. The Bennett case had been the subject of national attention in 1984 due to the gruesome nature of the crimes. The victims, including 7-year-old Melissa, were bludgeoned to death with a hammer.

Rough review of academic functions in Jeffco Schools Expert with history in Colorado education presents to school board

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Educational leadership consultant Jaime Aquino gave a review of academic functions in the district during the Nov. 10, Jeffco Board of Education study session. Aquino was hired as a consultant to conduct the review.

Aside from analyzing academic functions, the review sought to develop a system-wide plan to strengthen the District’s capacity to better serve all schools, support teachers and educational support staff.

Aquino has held several high-profile positions during the course of his career, including stints as Chief Academic Officer for Denver Public Schools, and Instructional Superintendent in the NYC Department of Education.

Before Aquino gave his findings, Jeffco Schools Superintendent, Tracey Dorland, offered a bit of praise about the District in general.

“We are a good District. We have many bright spots,” she said. “And even though we have all of these bright spots, the findings found that our people in the system are not satisfied with where we are.”

Dorland said there’s a strong collective will to be the best the District can be for its students and families.

“We are not complacent in Jeffco,” she said.

She added that the District has a strong desire to continuously improve and that there are many good

practices happening in Jeffco. The issue, she said, is that those practices are not systemic.

“The review is not intended to blame a group or a team or individuals. It is to support teachers and leaders as thy strive to enrich instruction,” Dorland said.

Jeffco has seen a lot of turnover at the top. Counting interims, Dorland is the sixth superintendent the district has had in seven years.

The District’s bright spots, according to Dorland, include talented, hardworking staff, community engagement and general improvement in graduation rates. The district also scored above current state averages in CMAS, PSAT and SAT tests.

Among not-so-good student learning trends are declining student achievement results from 2017 forward and impacts of learning loss during the pandemic.

Aquino said he was proud to engage with the board in its attempt to move the District from good, to great, to extraordinary.

His findings were classified into five buckets including Leadership, Management and Strategic Design; Organizational Structure; Curriculum and Instruction; Data and Accountability; and Human Capital.

In the Leadership, Management and Strategic Direction category, Aquino said he found a lack of shared understanding of the district’s strategic direction, creating a system that lacks coherence. He added that there also was a lack of clear and coherent communication protocol to ensure strategies and decisions related to curriculum and instruction are relayed and understood by schools, as well as a lack of system coherence between and among schools due to a culture that

values autonomy without accountability.

Finally, he said there appears to be an insufficient sense of urgency regarding improving achievement for all students.

In the Organization Structure, Data and Accountability category, he said the Ed Center (also referred to as the District) is not set up to support schools, teaching and learning. In regards to data, Aquino’s review found little evidence of a systematic approach to identify, execute and monitor strategies aimed at driving academic improvement.

In the review’s findings in the Curriculum and Instruction category, Aquino said there was evidence of an absence of shared understanding of standards throughout the system and that lessons do not appear to be aligned to state standards. The review also found what they considered to be a lack of rigor throughout the district.

“This was even validated by one of the surveys for your students,” he said. “The item that gets the lowest rating was ‘students feeling academically challenged.’” Aquino’s review also found that the District seems to pay more attention to improving operational issues than it does to improving student learning. On that point, he said the same thing can be said about districts around the country, calling it a crisis in operations. Finally, he said the deficiencies of instructional coherence have led to a weak and disjointed instructional program.

After completing his roundup of the top 10 issues his review found in the district, Aquino opened up the floor to questions, giving board members an opportunity to discuss his findings.

Board member Susan Miller, a frequent critic of the District’s academic policies and procedures, spoke up first. She said something that could be addressed right away was how to bring in a curriculum that can provide students rigor, while honoring the autonomy of schools with the support, curriculum and data that’s needed. Miller stressed the need to address those issues with a sense of urgency.

Aquino agreed with Miller that the issues need to be taken seriously, but said addressing them quickly was different than addressing them with a sense of urgency.

“You need to make sure you’re making the right decisions, and the investments you’re going to make are going to last over time,” he said.

Aquino said in his opinion, within a district, after the superintendent, the most important role is that of the principal. He said the principal’s role is key because they’re close to the teachers and the students. He said everything else, like what takes place at the Ed Center (District), should be in support of schools.

Board President Susan Harmon said the challenge is to create a level of “system-ness” while retaining school autonomy, so that principals can be empowered in their leadership, and recreating that feeling of hope and better outcomes for students.

Aquino said there’s a cry from the community to be able to see the District as a school system and not a system of schools.

“And that means that many things have to happen. ...You have to be really transparent with the decisions you are making and of why you’re making these decisions,” he said.

“And always tie those why’s to how it’s going to help kids.”

Arvada Resiliency Taskforce wins Jeffco EDC award ARRESTED Taskforce honored with ‘Community Partner of the Year’ award STAFF REPORT

The Arvada Resiliency Taskforce — a partnership between local organizations including the Arvada Chamber of Commerce, Arvada Economic Development Association and Olde Town Business Improvement District — was awarded the Gateway Award for Community Partner of the year at the Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation’s Gateways dinner on Nov. 3.

The taskforce, which was formed

in March 2020 to aid the community from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, was recognized for its role in helping businesses navigate a difficult year for many.

The taskforce worked rapidly to create programs and provide resources for local businesses impacted by the pandemic. The taskforce played a key role in distributing grant funding and personal protective equipment to businesses when the pandemic was at its peak.

Arvada Economic Development Director Daniel Ryley said that while the taskforce was initially formed to help Arvada-based businesses weather the pandemic, he did not foresee the growth that the city’s commerce sector has experienced over the last year.

“We originally created the taskforce because our local businesses are the heart of our community and we knew we needed to act immediately in order to make a difference,” said Ryley.

“What we didn’t anticipate is that the impact of our fast actions would help turn our town into an area that people from all over Colorado are now flocking to.”

President of the Arvada Chamber of Commerce Kami Welch said that winning the Jeffco EDC award was a testament to the taskforce’s teamwork.

“By working together, pooling our resources and building on our strengths we can accomplish great things,” said Welch.

The Gateway dinner was held at Social Capital in Arvada.

Police believe the bags and carpet may have contained Gail Wilson’s remains.

The truck was located Nov. 5, northwest of I-25 and Colfax in Denver.

Lakewood Police are still searching for Wilson’s body and are concentrating their search in the area between 6th Avenue and Colfax Avenue from Broadway to York Street. They are asking anyone who might have seen anything suspicious to contact their tip line at 303-763-6800.

Happy Thanksgiving! Here Are Some Things That We’re Grateful for This Year 2021 has been a difficult year for everyone, but it has also been a year of growth for Golden Real Estate and for me personally. Fortunately, Rita and I and all of our broker associates have escaped infection by Covid-19. We are all vaccinated, and Rita and I and a couple broker associates have received our booster shots.

We’ll be closing out 2021 with over $50 million in closed volume compared to less than $32 million in 2020 when we had more agents.

So we have a lot to be thankful for at Golden Real Estate, most especially for the patronage of buyers and sellers who chose us to serve their real estate needs. I know for a fact that many of this year’s clients chose us not only because of the reputation we have built through this weekly newspaper column but also for the political stands I have taken regarding our former president and his followers. We gained far more clients than we lost because of my political outspokenness.

And we are not alone politically.

While fellow agents and brokerages have not spoken out as we have, the National Association of Realtors has taken some courageous stands that demonstrate alignment with our own values. For example, a year ago the incoming president of NAR apologized for the past policies of our industry which reinforced systemic racism, such as redlining and steering. (Steering refers to the practice of showing minority home buyers only homes in minority areas, even if they qualified for higher-priced nonminority areas.)

I’m grateful for the attention paid by NAR to social justice issues, but also for its effort, albeit unsuccessful so far, to eliminate the practice of pocket listings, which I wrote about last week.

I’m really grateful for the progress being made by REcolorado, Denver’s MLS. I have seen this progress from the inside as a member of the Rules & Regulations Committee as well as from being a user of REcolorado’s services. I appre-

Don’t Wait Until Spring to Sell Your Home; There Are Many Advantages to Putting a Home on the MLS Now Each year at this time, I like to remind readers that real estate is no longer seasonal. It used to be that spring and summer were considered the time to put a home on the market, based primarily on the school calendar. But that is oldschool thinking.

Nowadays, thanks to the real estate market going virtual with buyers and sellers setting up automated searches based on their needs and wants, homes are selling year round.

What makes winter a particularly good time to list a home, however, is that most sellers continue to think the old way and keep their homes off the market until spring.

As a result, those sellers who do put their home on the market enjoy two advantages. The first is less competition from other listings, and the second is a large number of buyers who will get the automated alert about your listing when it goes on the MLS. Every week I do a podcast for 96.9 The Cloud reporting on the real estate market for the City of Golden. In my latest podcast, I reported that there were

only three active listings in the entire City of Golden. How would you like your home to be one of only three homes for sale in a city of 20,000 people?

I myself have nearly 100 buyers with MLS alerts set up matching their search criteria. When a new listing is entered on the MLS which matches their search criteria, that buyer gets an email alert with a picture and description of the new listing.

Remember that $215,000 DTC condo that I featured in last week’s newspaper?

In the first day that it became active on the MLS, over 500 buyers received email alerts about it, four of whom labeled it a “favorite” and six labeled it a “possibility.” When a client labels a listing that way, their agent gets an email letting him or her know, likely triggering an in-person showing.

My $725,000 Littleton listing from the previous week triggered emails to over 650 buyers, 18 of whom labeled it a favorite and 8 of whom labeled it a possibility. It went under contract in five days for 20% over listing price.

Our Future Office in Downtown Golden

ciate REcolorado for adopting some of my suggestions, such as creating a field for closing notes.

At the top of my gratitude list is the fact that we were able to rent a storefront in downtown Golden. Sometime in December, Golden Real Estate will be moving to 1214 Washington Avenue, the former location of Laurel Property Services. We look forward to benefiting from the pedestrian traffic of that prime location. We have ordered a WindoVision unit from TouchPoint Systems to capitalize on that traffic. The artist’s rendering of our new storefront above gives an idea of what we’re creating.

What’s really exciting about this

move to downtown Golden is what it allows us to do with our current office on South Golden Road. As you know by now, we are a showplace of “net zero energy,” so I am partnering with broker associate Ty Scrable, who is supercommitted and knowledgeable about sustainability, to create a new business we are calling The Net Zero Store.

Look for more information about this new enterprise after Golden Real Estate has moved downtown. Our goal is to bring under one roof and into one showroom the various products and services that allow homeowners and businesses to “go net zero” in their energy usage. Stay tuned!

Wadsworth Improvements Underway

A temporary sales and use tax increase passed by Wheat Ridge voters in 2016 should be paying

noticeable dividends by the end of 2023, when improvements to a stretch of Wadsworth Boulevard that runs between 35th Avenue and Interstate 70 are complete. The project will be funded in two phas-

additional funding.

The first phase of project, which just started, will include a new intersection at 44th Avenue, entrances and exits to businesses that will provide safer access to motorists and a continuous sidewalk on the west side of the street from 38th Avenue to the Clear Creek Trail.

It also will include a bike/pedestrian path on the east side of Wadsworth running from 38th Avenue to the Clear Creek Trail.

Wheat Ridge City Council member Rachel Hultin said the project will create delays and disrupt traffic patterns in the short term, but in two years, the city will have a safer multi-modal conection to I-70 and the Clear Creek Trail. She’s asking people to be patient and not cut through the neighborhood.

“This project, to me, is really exciting because it came about from a need to expand the road, but the project is actually going to connect our entire community,” Hultin said.

“The thing that’s really exciting is

that it’s the first project in the state that actually has phased pedestrian crossings. So, it’s actually going to be a much safer environment and connect more people in the community.”

According to the City’s Connections publication, Concrete Works of Colorado was awarded the project. Groundbreaking took place in mid-October.

Wadsworth will be in various stages of construction for two years with new northbound lanes and improvements along the east side of Wadsworth kicking things off.

During this phase of the project, all traffic will shift to the west side of Wadsworth Boulevard.

Despite ongoing work, two lanes of traffic in each direction and business access will be maintained through the duration of the project.

The City’s website, whatsupwheatridge.com, states that starting on or after Monday, Nov. 29, 48th Avenue, east of Wadsworth Boulevard, will permanently close.

It will be re-configured as a cul-desac. According to the city, signs and message boards will be placed at various locations, giving notice in advance of the closure.

‘This project, to me, is really exciting because it came about from a need to expand the road, but the project is actually going to connect our entire community.’

‘Justice for Johnny’ rally held outside District Attorney’s office Friends of Johnny Hurley Foundation calls for accountability and reform

DA FORUM

t f

Following DA’s release of the investigative report into the Olde Town Shooting, the office also hosted an online community forum to answer questions about the report and the DA’s decision not to file charges against the Arvada officer who shot and killed Johnny Hurley.

A total of 40 individuals registered for the forum, including constituents from Arvada, Golden, Lakewood and Westminster attended the Nov. 17 forum, many asking the DA questions.

A complete recording is now available on the office’s Facebook page: facebook. com/ColoradoDA1/

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Friends and relatives of Johnny Hurley, the Good Samaritan killed in the June 21 Olde Town Arvada shooting, gathered outside First Judicial District Attorney Alexis King’s office on Nov. 18 to rally for increased transparency and police reform in the wake of the DA’s office decision not to charge anyone in Hurley’s death and to publically release the Critical Incident Response Team report into the shooting on Nov. 8.

The rally was organized by the Friends of Johnny Hurley Foundation, a group founded in Aug. with the mission to, “Keep Johnny’s story alive and to help people feel more prepared to be able to protect themselves and to be able to develop systems for policy reform that can keep the community safer,” according to group Co-Founder Brent Kaufman.

Kaufman said he was a friend of Hurley’s and wanted to “extend an olive branch” to King and added that he dropped off a letter at the DA’s office on Nov. 18 requesting that King meet with the Friends of Johnny Hurley Foundation in person to discuss the case and potential reform.

“Ultimately, to build a bridge so we can develop a diverse plan to make the community safer and stronger,” said Kaufman when asked about the purpose of the rally.

“We welcome the community to voice their concerns and join in their grief for the loss of Johnny Hurley, a true hero who acted bravely in the services of others during the tragic events in Olde Town Arvada,” said King’s office in a statement.

Attendees at the rally voiced their concern about Arvada Police’s training procedures and active shooter situation protocols and questioned if more resources or training could have prevented Hurley’s death.

Curt Webbe, a friend of Hurley’s, said that he felt that APD Officer Kraig Brownlow — who fatally shot Hurley after mistaking him for the

Kaufman went on to say that his main objectives for the rally were to promote “accountability and prevention.”

Accountability is when we found out that Johnny was killed for helping other people, we felt less safe… I would like to fill that gap and I think that means preventing more tragedies in the future by training police better for active shooter scenarios,” said Kaufman.

Other friends of Hurley took issue with the way the CIRT team investigation was handled.

Ahva Lenay, who said she knew Hurley for about 10 years, felt that his family was not treated comparably to the family of APD Officer Gordon Beesley, who was also a victim of the shooting, throughout the investigative process.

“I think it took way too long for the information to come out and I think that creates mistrust. And I’m all about open communication.

I understand how difficult the circumstances were and what was at risk for our police officers, who I care very much about as well. But I think that was way too long and I’d like to see that change,” said Lenay.

“At least if the family were brought in and given some solace and information — it could have trickled to the first layer of family; they could have signed disclosures. It just seems like there was a lot of things that could have been done to bring comfort to the family,” Lenay continued. “The officer who was shot, his family had more comfort, his family got a little more information. It just feels imbalanced.”

Lenay added that she wants to see “bridges between our peacekeepers; the police, and the people” come out of this situation.

Wheat Ridge Studies Housing Affordability Residential housing is being built in the city, but who can afford it?

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At their most recent study session, Wheat Ridge city council members listened to a presentation on affordable housing by Susan Powers, president of Urban Ventures, a Denver-based real estate and consulting company.

During her presentation, Powers talked about the reality of how tough it is for the average resident to afford rent or a mortgage in the city.

Powers said a minimum wage earner can afford $641 per month rent, but only 7% of renters in Wheat Ridge are currently paying less than $1,000 per month, whereas 78% pay between $1,000 and $2,000 per month.

In communities with a lot of retail and hospitality jobs, like Wheat Ridge, those workers can’t afford to pay rents in the city, according to Powers.

Those who want to buy a home here also face a challenge.

According to Powers, the average Wheat Ridge home price is now $550,000.

“Which for those of us who have been in the metro area for a long time ... these prices are just ridiculous — except to a broker,” she said.

In her presentation, Powers said the median Wheat Ridge household income is $57,000, which would allow someone to afford a $317,000 house.

So, where are those people able to buy? In most cases, not in Wheat Ridge.

To dig deeper into the numbers, Wheat Ridge home prices saw a 13.4% increase from August 2020 to August 2021. Incomes in the city rose by only 3.2% during the same period.

Powers said slow-growth ordinances like the one enacted in neighboring Lakewood add to the problem, driving prices even higher and putting more strain on a price / income ratio that’s already out of balance.

Who needs affordable housing?

Aside from the homeless and people living below or near the poverty level, people with jobs including fast-food employees, home health workers, EMTs, dental assistants, mail carriers and more. Even school teachers can be priced out of the housing market at current average home costs.

As for solutions, Powers said governments can play a role at the local, state and federal level.

Locally, work around strategic plans, regulations, grants, rental assistance, zoning, entitlements and permit approvals can all

make a difference.

Powers also brought up the idea of deed restriction, which allows lower income earners to purchase a house blow market value, but with the caveat that the buyer can’t turn around in a short amount of time and sell it for market value, which would decrease the number of affordable homes available. Often, these homes would be subsidized through municipal or state grants for affordable housing.

Other possibilities she brought up could include requiring a percentage of new residential development be sold at an affordable price — below market rate.

Passing ordinances or taking other inclusionary zoning steps may be the only way to ensure affordable housing comes into a market.

Taking these types of steps to make affordability a priority for a certain number of new residences in the city doesn’t necessarily mean the developer has to take the hit. Powers said it may be necessary for cities to subsidize some of the development to offset losses builders might face, but stressed it shouldn’t mean a blank check to developers.

Allowing Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) also is a way, Powers said, to stabilize neighborhoods where owners are being forced through gentrification when they can no longer afford the taxes on their homes when property values go up so rapidly.

On Bonus Density A word despised in many communities, density, conjures images of sprawling apartment complexes or out-of-place modern row houses ruining the character of neighborhoods.

Bonus density, however, is a process where developers are given approval build additional units in a project that’s already going to be approved, in exchange for pricing some of those units in a more affordable range for lower-income earners. Powers said in the case of townhome developments, it’s possible that bonus density could make a difference, but there would have to be particular attention paid to the size of units being built, to make sure they’re suitable for families, instead of the units becoming smaller to accommodate the extra number of units.

DOLA (Department of Local Affairs) Grant Wheat Ridge recently received a DOLA grant from the state for $112,000 for affordable housing strategy planning that will go to create a strategic plan and an action plan on affordable housing in Wheat Ridge.

City Manager Patrick Goff said city staff is currently working on a timeline and scope for the RFP to hire a consultant to help with the process.

Todd Marksberry, CEO and president of Canvas Credit Union, based in Lone Tree.

COURTESY OF CANVAS CREDIT UNION

Lone Tree-based Canvas Credit Union to merge Deal marks Canvas expansion to Western Slope

BY MARK HARDEN MHARDEN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Canvas Credit Union, a Front Range-focused financial company based in Lone Tree, announced Nov. 15 that its merger with a Western Slope credit union has been approved by regulators and the two organizations’ boards.

Canvas currently has about 30 branches across metro Denver and in the Fort Collins-GreeleyLoveland area, so the merger with Grand Junction-based Western Rockies Federal Credit Union marks an expansion into western Colorado.

Under the deal, Canvas will add more than 40 employees of Western Rockies FCU to its workforce, and Western Rockies FCU’s Grand Junction, Rifle and Fruita branches will remain open, Canvas said in a statement. Western Rockies member accounts will transition to Canvas.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Canvas also plans to explore opportunities to open more branches along the Western Slope,” the statement said.

Grand Junction-based Western

Rockies FCU has $150 million in assets and 14,000 members.

The statement said the combination had been approved by the state of Colorado and the National Credit Union Administration, the industry’s federal regulator.

“Our team has been dreaming about how we can expand our impact well beyond the Front Range,” Todd Marksberry, Canvas’ CEO and president, said in the statement. “The opportunity to welcome the Western Rockies Federal Credit Union members and team to our Canvas family opens the door to manifest even more positive change for people across Colorado.”

Kristi Porter, Western Rockies FCU’s CEO and president, “will play a crucial role to Canvas’ collaboration with the Western Slope community,” Marksberry said.

Canvas — formerly known as Public Service Credit Union — is metro Denver’s third-largest credit union based on total assets as of Dec. 31, 2020, according to the Denver Business Journal. Canvas says it currently has assets of $3.47 billion and 263,700 members.

It is the descendant of a credit union founded in 1938 to serve employees of Public Service Company of Colorado, now part of Xcel Energy. In recent years it has acquired several other credit unions.

“We’re celebrating community, and doing it in a unique, one-of-akind way that only Lonnie could put together,” Paul said. “We’ve been yearning for a long time — looking for a unique way to come together and I just think it’s an incredible opportunity for our city. I’m honored and thrilled we were able to make this happen here and I encourage people to come out and enjoy it.”

Standing in front of the spectacular flaming owl display, lit earlier by Paul, Hanzon said it felt wonderful to be open and to be ready to celebrate the season.

Camp Christmas, which brought together Hanzon, the City of Lakewood and the DCPA (Denver Center for Performing Arts) runs through Jan. 2. Tickets can be purchased at www.denvercenter.org.

VOICES

On being grateful for our daydreams

any of us have much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving season. At the same time, however, many of our friends and neighALCHEMY bors may also be dealing with grief, loss and uncertainty.

Even as we expect to gather in giving thanks this week, with so much out of our control we may find that we’ve made plans just to cancel Andrea Doray them.

Additionally, we might be anticipating the vagaries of upcoming holiday travel … which may or may not offer refundable fees or deposits.

And, if you’re like me, you’ve been ordering exponentially more goods

for pick-up or delivery – from groceries to board games – with the accompanying disclaimers for delayed or even undetermined delivery.

Whether by choice or necessity, such outside uncertainties can make life feel exceptionally herky-jerky right now, like stutter-steps or even stumbling. Personally, I’m often overwhelmed.

So, a bit surprisingly for me, I find myself turning to a more interior life. I reminisce by scrolling around in the 11,368 digital images and 178 videos on my phone. I thumb through long-ago photos scattered in plastic boxes or relentlessly attached to those sticky-pages in photo albums of the 70s.

I gaze, wistfully, at inspirational books on my shelf – The Mindful Writer, The Writing Warrior, Writing Begins with the Breath and so on –

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

In answer to Michael Alcorn’s question (The problem with money in politics, Nov. 11, 2021), I believe it should always be worth fighting a system with dysfunction. And when it comes to politics, there is more than just one dysfunction.

For me, it begins with eligible voters who choose not to vote. I get tired of hearing all the excuses: “I am too busy working and taking care of my family to vote,” “My vote won’t make a difference,” “I don’t know anything about the politicians running for office,” and “I am not going to vote because the system is corrupt,” to name just a few.

Voting is a right and privilege that citizens in other countries would love to exercise. None of us can complain about political dysfunction if we do not vote.

Anything less than 100% of eligible voters casting their ballots, especially when they can be mailed or dropped off at the many convenient sites around town, is just not good enough.

That said, it behooves us to know something about the candidates for whom we are voting. One way to do that is by looking at the individuals and organizations supporting their campaigns. Due to finance campaign laws, this information is public knowledge and can easily be obtained with the internet, available to all, thanks to our public libraries. While individuals may not have the wherewithal to give large sums of their own money, they can still decide whether to vote for a candidate based on the individuals and organizations supporting them.

The Wizard of Id writer, Johnny Hart, wrote ”Whoever has the gold, makes the rules.” It may be time to vote for term limits, so that whoever has the gold cannot make the rules for too long.

while I dutifully contemplate actually doing any writing.

And I daydream, oh, how I daydream! I’m retired in Tucson with a swimming pool and a 195-yard drive off the tee box. I’m flitting off to Iceland for a long weekend on one of those spectacular mid-winter deals where you are practically paid to come visit. Or I’m leaving everything behind for a simpl(er) life in a coastal village in Mexico, welcoming along anyone who wants to join me.

My mind also, as yours might, entertains more altruistic aspirations: Traveling to work with Habitat for Humanity. Offering my willing hands at the scenes of natural disasters.

Sponsoring a refugee family or raising a foster child. All of these options – and perhaps others – remain on the table for my future.

What are your own individual

daydreams? How are they shaping your life?

At dinner last night, my sister told me her daydream is the absence of anxiety, which is often tangled up with COVID protocols that, as we all know, vary widely from occasion to occasion, venue to venue, and among the personal wishes of the various people who populate our lives.

My nephew – finally accelerating his doctoral studies after nearly two years of COVID-related delays – had an intriguing comment about how difficult it can be to focus on daydreams when there’s so much reality to deal with right now. He compared his own daydreaming to his vision board and, with his goals firmly identified, he’s already made many of his come true.

So, inspired by my nephew and SEE DORAY, P13

Reflecting on what I’m thankful for

T

hings I am Thankful for this year: The new turn signal at the intersection close to my home.

Thank you, city of HITTING Arvada. Now, if we HOME could just cook it so that it actually worked more than once every three cycles, or, maybe, get the flashing yellow so I don’t have to sit through it at 11 at night ... That would be great.

Thankful for Michael Alcorn long, lazy, beautiful autumns. This year was one for the record books!

Thankful that so many people in my neighborhood planted White Ash and Red Maple trees 20 years ago.

I am extremely Thankful that, 18 months into this, nobody I know has died from COVID. To my knowledge, only a handful of people I know have gotten it, and only a couple of those cases were anything worse than an inconvenience.

I am also Thankful that *somebody* has dedicated energy and expertise to devising COVID therapies.

That seems to be the only viable way forward.

I am Thankful for all the work the building-level people in Jeffccoare doing to ensure that my son is getting in-person learning this year.

Both anecdotally and statistically, we know that remote learning was

a disaster, so whatever it takes to make live school happen is okay in my book.

To that point, I am also Thankful that we seem to be coming to our collective senses a little bit regarding quarantines and isolation policies.

At some point, you knew logic would re-assert itself over addictive, oppressive fear.

I am Thankful for scented pine cones. Just ‘cuz…

I am Thankful for Christmas lights.

I am Thankful for the “Block” button on my phone. The “no call” list doesn’t work nearly as well as I would like, so the ability to accomplish the same thing manually is a big boon.

I am Thankful for sports. I love to play them, watch them, talk about them. Actual sport—not the business of sport—may be one of the few arenas in which we put away our mindless tribalism.

I am Thankful for dogs. Yes, they are work and they can be exhausting… but I know of nothing else in the world that brings such joy and expects nothing in return except for companionship. Someday, I hope to do something worthy of the greeting my dogs give me every single day.

I am Thankful for silence. I know—odd for a musician to love the absence of sound. But, it is the quiet that gives the music its value, and it’s the quiet that gives us the chance to hear what God or the universe or our own natures are trying to tell us.

I am Thankful for that little auto shop on Ward Road with the clever signage. Sometimes witty, this week it has wisdom: “If it hurts, pay attention. The world is trying to teach you something.”

I am Thankful for a talented, measured editor. I know some of you think I go off the rails—you should read the parts that Glenn encourages me to clean up!

I am very Thankful for readers. All four of you. I often feel like I’m just shouting into the wind, and that’s fine—at least it clears my spool. But to know that other people actually consider (and often dismiss) my shouting is a comfort.

Of course I am Thankful for my family, for my good friends, for all the things that make life worth living. You know—the BIG stuff. But, I think part of what I was trying to say last week was that, when we focus on the dreck of our culture, it’s when and because we lose sight of so many simple little things. Taking the time to look around and revel in the simple is a great cure for bad fruits.

Enjoy your Thanksgivings, friends. Enjoy your friends and families and food.

A month to show thankfulness

S

ince it is November and the month for Thanksgiving, I thought I would list a number of things for which I am grateful.

I am grateful for my parents. My father gave me a functioning BS detector and more importantly taught me that there is no hole so deep you cannot climb out of it.

My mom gave me my calmness and sense of justice that keeps things grounded.

I am grateful for friends I had growing up as a kid in Claymont, Delaware, Richmond, Virginia, and other places. I am still in contact with many of them. I just wish I called them more, but time and circumstance happen. This little note lets them know that if no one else thinks the world of them, this wandering soul does.

I am grateful for the men and

women of my parents’ generation who email or private message me to let me know that they are thinking of me and just to check up that I am doing OK. Sometimes it is difficult to stop being a mom or dad to every kid from the Joe Webb neighborhood. I am grateful for all four high schools I attended. All four provided me with a breadth and depth of different experiences.

I am grateful for my history and accounting education as an undergraduate. I am grateful that I attended Wabash College in Indiana where I saw how a college is run the right way. I am grateful for the

GUEST COLUMNIST

opposite experience at Virginia Commonwealth University.

I am grateful for the brotherhood of a lifetime Delta Chi. I love all of my brothers even the ones I have not seen in 20-plus years. Thank you, brothers, for permitting this admittedly odd duck among you.

I am grateful for all the mentors and role models I have had that have freely dispensed their wisdom and advice to me. I am also grateful for the anti-role models that I have had. They have also contributed by showing me the sort of person I never wish to be.

I am grateful for my experiences in the Colorado GOP. It is not true that only the worst people are involved politically. There are some really wonderful selfless individuals in Colorado who just wish to make America a better place. I have met them and call all of them

friends. They have my gratitude for their help and friendship. They know who they are.

I am grateful for being born a Catholic. What was a circumstance of birth became a strong conviction as an adult. I am grateful for the Sacrament of Confession, which helps me to try to be a better person. I am grateful for the self sacrifice and instruction of a myriad of priests and nuns, who gave me good example along the way.

I am grateful for the readers who view this column every month.

What I have tried to do is make a list of the things for which I am thankful. It is an example of one American life that was blessed at birth. So readers, what about the examples from your life?

Joe Webb is the former chairman of the Jeffco Republican party.

Wildlife does not observe Daylight Saving Time

Following war-time examples of Germany and Austria, the United States adopted Daylight Saving Time in 1918. The time shift, along with the season’s early onset of dusk and dawn, can align the human rush hour with the regular crepuscular movements of wildlife. u According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, November records more vehicle-wildlife accidents than at any other time of the year. Migration to wintering habitats as well as deer mating season contribute to the increase.

Trouble spots in the Denver metro area listed by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) are: I-70 through Mount Vernon Canyon and Floyd Hill Highway 285 from the Jefferson County-Park County line to C-470 Highway 74 from Elk Meadow to Evergreen Lake In 2020, there were 40 animals reported killed on Highway 74, nearly all between I-70 and Evergreen Lake.

CDOT considers that for every animal carcass that is counted, another animal was killed but not reported. e While deer account for the highest percentage of species killed on roads around the state, elk are frequent victims of car crashes in Evergreen.

-One particular location, on the south side of the blind hill between Lewis Ridge Road and Stagecoach Road, is responsible for more vehicle-elk collisions than any other location in CDOT’s Region 1.

While bear strikes are unusual in Evergreen, three bears lost their tlives on Highway 74 in 2020.

The effects of an impact can be costly, both emotionally and financially.

others, I’m able to envision the roads ahead for my daydreams … a path, as he might say, out of the realities where we currently reside.

Perhaps this is one reason I’m so personally grateful for daydreams this Thanksgiving season.

To consider the economics of a collision with wildlife, one must include the cost of personal injuries, deductibles for insurance claims and time away from work among other concerns. Additionally, Colorado Parks and Wildlife has assigned a dollar value to wildlife that are considered as property of the state’s citizens Accounts of wildlife collisions by local drivers are full of grief, shock and stress. In “After the Crash,” over 75% of drivers and passengers involved in vehicle crashes reported feeling some level of anxiety, including PTSD. The Colorado State Patrol has listed several recommendations to lessen the risk of a wildlife-vehicle collision: • Drive more slowly and stay alert, especially when you see a wildlife warning sign.

• If you see one deer or elk, expect others.

• Remember to scan ahead on the sides of the road for signs of movement, day and night.

• Stopped traffic, or perhaps the blinking of lights, is a strong signal that there could be wildlife on the road ahead.

Being impatient and trying to pass these bottlenecks can result in accidents. One social media comment stated, “The car from behind my vehicle raced around the bottleneck, zoomed at top speed in the left lane and slammed into a family of deer.”

Evergreen enjoys a resident herd of elk that knows no fear of cars and leisurely moves across Highway 74 with impunity. The best and only way to avoid the ugly reality of an animal-vehicle strike is to follow the advice of the agencies that regularly Finally, to paraphrase Amy Winehouse (and others who have picked up the sentiment): “It’s not just a daydream if you decide to make it your life.”

Wishing you a fulfilling season of gratitude and daydreams.

How local artists help to define metro area’s beer scene

BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

S

itting in the studio of Noelle Phares, a 35-year-old artist based in Lakewood, a collection of seasonal beers from the Colfax microbrewery West Fax Brewing can be seen adorning her shelves.

Phares, who studied environmental science before becoming a fulltime artist, picks up a large can of the brewery’s brut IPA, a seasonal summertime favorite, and explains the meaning behind the salmon pink sky and purple mountains depicted on its label in watercolor brushstrokes.

“This was a painting of an Alaskan landscape,” she said. “I wanted to highlight how unique the lighting is in a place that’s super snowy, especially around sunset time when you get really crazy colors and the whole landscape glows.”

It is just one of several painting

by Phares that were featured on the cans of West Fax’s Summer Artist Series in 2018.

As Denver’s beer scene continues to grow, many breweries find themselves tapping local artists like Phares to compliment their products.

“There’s been a long-standing symbiotic relationship between art and craft beer,” said Jack Buffington, a research professor at the University of Denver with more than 20 years of experience in the beer industry. “(Breweries) try to emphasize that, instead of being produced in some big factory, it’s being made by hand.”

These small-scale beer makers -- usually referred to as micro or nano-breweries depending on the size of their batches and breadth of their distribution -- have found identity through local artists, helping them stand out from a sea of competition. But, more so than just boosting sales, Buffington said the art is about building community.

“There’s so many big brands that

exist in the world. … Everyone likes when you support local people. I think that’s a fantastic expression of culture.”

For artists, it presents a unique opportunity for exposure.

Ken Sarafin, a Denver-based digital artist, said Colorado’s capital has always had a lively art and beer scene. But it wasn’t until smaller breweries became more abundant that Sarafin said he noticed a shift from larger design firms to local artists when it came to the art on a can.

o much of the holidays are about comfort and familiarity, which is one of the many reasons why people love hearing the same stories every year. But just because you might know the story doesn’t mean there are no new ways to have fun with it.

“For a lot of families going to see live productions is part of their holiday tradition,” said actor Josh Houghton.

“It might be the one time a year when people go to theater as a family activity.”

For this holiday season, the Arvada Center is bringing the beloved Will Ferrell film “Elf” to life on the stage. The show runs at the Center, 6901 Wadsworth

Blvd., through Thursday, Dec. 23. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Audience members must provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative COVID-19 test result to attend an indoor, seated performance.

The show follows the adventures of Buddy the Elf (Houghton), who was raised in the North Pole working for Santa in his toy factory. But when Buddy learns that he’s actually a human, he makes a journey “through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops”

and to New York City to meet his birth father.

“It all feels super magical — it’s just the magic of classic theater. The whole set looks like a Christmas book come to life,” said Houghton. “When Buddy first arrives in New York, everything is dark grays and black and white, but over the course of the show his Christmas spirit rubs off on everyone and as a result, the show’s colors get brighter.”

The Center produced “Elf” in 2018 and Houghton played Buddy in that production as well. Additionally, Colin AlexanSEE READER, P15

BEER really exist before the craft beers.”

Sarafin partnered last year with Resolute Brewing, with locations in Centennial and Arvada, to design three cans for their new sour, lager and IPA. The cans’ labels are reminiscent of famous artists, such as the spiral sky of the IPA that evokes Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night, or the Monet-style impressionism of the brewery’s lager.

“It’s really cool to be part of the culture,” he said. “(Breweries) are almost developing their own niche art scene. It’s interesting to think about the impact it could have on art history.”

And as the beer scene booms, breweries find themselves marketing to more experimental drinkers, according to Buffington.

“The marketing of beer had to be a lot more precise as opposed to a focus around (brand) loyalty,” he said, adding that compared to bigger brands, consumers see a “much more artistic presentation of the can,” from local brewers.

Stacy McMahan, who lives in downtown Denver, knows this firsthand.

McMahan, 32, began her career as a product designer at Copper Kettle Brewing Company in Aurora where she ran social media and served as a photographer for the brewery.

This led her to discover her passion for design and she went on to work for Four Noses Brewery in Broomfield where she did work on more than 50 beer cans. Most recently, McMahan designed and photographed for New Image Brewing in Arvada.

Each brewery has its own style and target audience giving artists like McMahan the chance to try something new.

“New Image was a fun project because it really forced me out of my comfort zone,” she said. “They have a different sense of branding than what I’m used to, so that was fun to flex a different muscle.”

Reward is also found in seeing an artistic design move from McMahan’s computer screen, where she creates her work digitally, to being grasped in the palm’s of people’s hands as they enjoy a beer.

“You would always see (the art) in all these different situations with all these different people from different walks of life,” McMahan said. “Which is kind of the heart of beer in itself, to build community.

It’s really cool to see that your label is now a part of that community.”

“People are looking for more connection from brands,” she continued. “Sometimes art is the best way to connect with people. It’s all about crafting an experience.”

Beyond just taprooms and liquor stores, McMahan said she has seen her beer designs in a host of settings, from the mountains of Colorado to the base camp of Mount

Shop local arts at Foothills Art Center It’s always been a good idea to shop local during the holiday season, but the COVID-19 pandemic reminded everyone of its importance. Artists in particular need as much support as possible, which means it’s a great time to do your holiday shopping at the Foothills Art Center’s 46th annual Holiday Art Market.

Running through Wednesday, Dec. 29 at the Art Center, 809 15th St. in Golden, the market features more than 100 Colorado artists selling more than 3,000 unique items. Free ticket reservations are recommended but not required, reserve your free event ticket at https://foothillsartcenter.org/ hart.

der reprises his role as Santa and Sharon Kay White returns as Deb. New cast members include Keyonna Knight as Jovie and Rendell DeBose as the Macy’s Manager.

Not only is the fact that the holidays are back a reason to celebrate, but for some performers like Houghton, it’ll be their return to performing in-person theater.

“There aren’t very many 24-person musicals happening right now, so we’re incredibly lucky,” he said. “It’s a perfect screen-to-stage adaptation. It’s a family show that you should definitely bring the kids to. It has humor the kids love and humor for the adults.”

The compact nature of a beer can grants local artists a chance to see their work in places they never would have imagined, said Phares, the Lakewood artist who worked for West Fax. “What I love about the beer can thing is people bring beers in their backpack when they go skiing, when they go hiking, they bring six-packs to their friends house,” she said. “They work their way into all these different environments that art maybe traditionally hasn’t

been in. I found it really fun to see my artwork that’s of these wild places actually out in some of these places that they were inspired by, because that didn’t happen very often for me.”

As customers continue to browse the local beer section of their nearby liquor store, they’re likely to be met with a growing gallery of art. Phares said it adds a new dimension to how they will choose their next drink.

“It’s like the new phase of judging a book by its cover,” she said.

Celebrate the future with ‘Ada and the Engine’ Just in time for the holidays, the Firehouse Theater Company is staging a play they were about to open right before the pandemic shut everything down - “Ada and the Engine.” The play runs at the John Hand on the CFU Lowry Campus, 7653 E. 1st Place in Denver, through Saturday, Dec. 18. Performances on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

The show takes place at the beginning of the British Industrial Revolution and follows Ada Byron Lovelace (daughter of Lord Byron) as she works with Charles Babbage (inventor of the first mechanical computer) on the potential of analytic engines. A story of love, friendship and looking to the future, it’s a great alternative to more familiar holiday theater. Get tickets at www. firehousetheatercompany.com/.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Polo G at the Mission Ballroom Chicago’s Polo G is one of the brightest stars in a new galaxy of rap voices that has been developing over the last few years. While he is undoubtedly influenced by some of Chicago’s drill legends like Chief Keef, he’s worked in more melody, at times coming across as a kind of blues singer.

His debut album “Die A Legend,” was immediately attentiongrabbing and this year’s “Hall of Fame” continues to showcase his canny gift with a pen and a beat.

He’ll be stopping by the Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 30. Get tickets at www.axs.com.

MOTEL FROM PAGE 1

however, willing to discuss financing the motel if it could be part of community revitalization and used as a safe place to transition homeless families to more permanent housing.

She knew the county was already using several of the local motels for de-facto housing for the homeless through its voucher program. So, she negotiated a letter of intent with Jefferson County to show proof of potential income to lenders.

Coleman understood that taking the interim step of using the motel to provide a stable bridge for homeless families for the next three or four years would allow her to secure the financing she needed to become the owner of the White Swan.

It also made good business sense, because the motel’s location in a blighted Opportunity Zone comes with benefits like state income tax credits for capital investments that could be a big help to a young developer.

But she says what really sold her on the idea was the opportunity to really help people.

“I realized that Jefferson County is placing people who are experiencing homelessness in these motels, but there’s no efficiency of operation,” she said. “There are no standards. They’re placing someone in these rooms — and I saw the rooms — I was in a full hazmat suit (there were) needles on the floors, feces on the wall, blood on the mattresses.”

Those conditions were what Coleman found in her own motel once she’d purchased it and started renovations. And although she said she can’t speak to the cleanliness of other Colfax motels, she’d venture to guess many, if not all of them, are in the same shape.

Coleman added that she finds it hard to believe people in those circumstances are expected to get their lives together because they have a “roof over their head.”

She’s not pointing the finger at any city, county or any entity.

“It’s a massive problem that everyone talks about, and I just saw this as one slice of a way to help,” she said.

So, she wants to commit to hot water, cold water, clean towels, clean mattresses, paying the utilities, paving the parking lot, hiring security and all of the other necessities to earn the county’s business and provide a necessary service.

The last few months have seen Coleman, who’s very pregnant and expecting her first child in a matter of weeks, overseeing the renovation of 18 of the motel’s 24 rooms. Six of the rooms will continue to be rented out to long-term residents who passed required screening to be able to stay.

In December, the necessary red tape should be cleared for homeless families to move in. The idea is not to create a long-term rental situation for them — but instead, to give those families an opportunity for some stability as they continue to access wrap-around services (medical care, counseling, employment assistance etc.) before transitioning into more permanent housing.

According to Kelli Barker, Regional Homeless Coordinator for Jeffco’s Human Services Department, the county was interested in the idea of providing families with a more stable situation than they had prevously been able to offer by offering voucher rooms for shorter periods of time. But she said they will continue to work with other motels in the city.

“We’re kind of piloting this model of master leasing the 18 rooms at the White Swan for one year,” she said. “Lauren renovated the rooms to a safe and habitable standard, which is something we require.”

Barker said the county is in the final stages of executing the master lease and the goal is for their Homeless Navigation Program and the CYF (Children, Youth and Families) program, to begin placing families in the White Swan beginning Dec. 1. She said during their stay at the motel, the county’s case management teams will be working with the families to help them move onto a pathway to stable housing.

The county considers stays at the White Swan to be “Bridge Housing” that will be in the 30-60 day range.

Because of strong regulations for federal funds that don’t allow for master lease agreements, funding from the county side was secured through Jeffco Connections, the county’s collaborative management program.

The end game Is a dream deferred a dream denied?

Coleman says absolutely not.

their feet for the next few years, she hopes to invest in other amenities to help the community — which may very well include a dedicated shelter.

And in five years? Well, the mission remains.

“The plan and the end vision still exists. I will build a very high-end, luxury motel,” she says.

To build the dream, Coleman will raze the current property. In its place, the luxury motel (still with just 25 rooms — albeit a lot fancier) will rise.

Coleman says she has faith the Lakewood of tomorrow will be the right balance of holding on to the spirit of the town’s mid-century magic and the possibility of what’s yet to come.

Zillow is selling more than 500 homes it purchased this year in 10 counties along the Front Range. The online company is selling each of the homes for less than it paid as it closes its home-flipping business.

SCREENSHOT BY THE COLORADO SUN

Zillow went on a Front Range home-buying binge The real estate giant bought 500+ homes in 10 counties

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

The collapse of online real estate giant Zillow’s venture into home buying and selling, announced Nov. 2, can be traced, in one small part, back to its over eagerness to invest in Colorado’s red-hot real estate market.

The company bought hundreds of homes in the Front Range this summer, mostly in August and September, often paying more than what sellers were asking.

Now the company, as it folds its ill-fated Zillow Offers business of flipping homes with a promise to investors to unload roughly 18,000 homes across the country, is selling more than 500 homes in 10 Front Range counties, and more homes it purchased in October are hitting the market every day.

Zillow is slashing prices for those homes. Nearly all the properties are priced well below what the company paid only a few months — or even weeks — ago.

“It’s pretty crazy to watch, isn’t it?” said Michael DelPrete, who teaches a class on real estate technology at the University of Colorado Boulder’s Leeds School of Business.

But with inventories of for-sale homes at all-time lows and demand still peaking as buyers pay record prices across Colorado, brokers and real estate industry veterans don’t expect Zillow’s fire sale to have much impact on the market, even if the company sells them all in bulk to institutional investors.

‘It’s like we won a mini lottery’ Kyle Barnes listed the Castle Rock home he and his wife purchased in 2013 for sale in early August. They also submitted their home to Zillow Offers, as well as instant-buying market leader Opendoor Technologies Inc.

After a detailed in-person inspection by Zillow, a remote inspection

by Opendoor and a week on the market, the offers landed. A family using a real estate agent offered $575,000, which was slightly more than the Barnes’ asking price.

Opendoor offered $546,500. Both those included fees of around 5%.

Zillow’s offer came in at $626,000, with only a 1% fee.

Barnes accepted the Zillow offer and a couple days before they were scheduled to close, the company announced it was abandoning its nascent home buying and selling flipping business.

“Our fear was that Zillow would not close. We were freaking out,” said Barnes, who was closing on a house his family was building the day after closing the sale of their Castle Rock home.

But the deal closed, despite what Barnes called “a lot of last-minute stuff and disorganization by Zillow.” The money landed in his bank on Nov. 4, just as scheduled.

“It felt like this was a rare gold rush moment where we just got fortunate,” Barnes said. “It’s like we won a mini lottery.”

Barnes said he’s chatted with agents and friends about Zillow’s strategy in buying his home for so much more than what he was asking — and even more than the company’s own “zestimate” value.

“I thought either they are so much smarter than I am and they have this magic formula and they are forecasting the market. I mean, maybe Zillow can afford to sit on a home and wait. Maybe they know something is going to happen,” Barnes said. “Or the alternative is that they were making mistakes.”

‘Unintentionally’ paying higher prices It turns out, Zillow was making mistakes.

In the three months preceding Sept. 30, Zillow spent $1.2 billion on 3,032 homes, which compared to $186 million for 583 homes in the same period of 2020. With a Zillow Offers loss of $245 million for the third quarter of 2021, the company estimates it lost about $81,000 on every one of those 3,032 homes.

(The company reported a net loss of $328 million for the second quarter.)

The company has 1,956 homes in Florida, 1,543 homes in Texas and 1,309 homes in California. Nearly 5,000 more homes across the country make up 49% of its remaining properties.

The company says it is under contract to buy another 9,000 homes in the final months of 2021 and expects to sell about 5,000 homes by year’s end, generating up to $2.1 billion in revenue but losing up to $365 million in the final quarter of this year. That will put Zillow’s losses from its home buying and selling business at close to $600 million in the final half of 2021, roughly $10 million a month.

Zillow paid big for those homes, often paying more than listing price.

In a Nov. 2 letter to shareholders, the company said “unintentionally purchasing homes at higher prices” led to the failure of its Zillow Offers, which was launched in 2017 with plans to become a heavyweight in the world of home buying and selling.

The company began buying homes in Denver in 2018 and expanded to Fort Collins and Colorado Springs in 2019.

“We have determined that this large scale would require too much equity capital, create too much volatility in our earnings and balance sheet, and ultimately result in far lower return on equity than we imagined,” reads Zillow’s letter to investors announcing the end of its home buying and selling business.

“We have been unable to accurately forecast future home prices at different times in both directions by much more than we modeled,” reads the letter, describing the challenges of global pandemic and the “supply-demand imbalance” that spiked home prices in recent months.

Wall Street is not pleased. Zillow’s stock is trading around $64 a share, down from around $103 a share before the Nov. 2 earnings statement.

‘Like Christmas,’ but not for buyers For those few lucky sellers, Zillow made it “feel like Christmas,” said Brian Anzur, the president of the board for the South Metro Denver Realtors Association.

But buyers don’t see Zillow as Santa.

Anzur would walk home-hunting clients through a Zillow-owned home and they would be amazed, he said. And not with the house.

“They’re going ‘How much are they asking?’” Anzur said.

“The market is crazy in Colorado compared to other places in the country, but it’s not stupid. It can see value. If you bring a property to the market that is simply priced too high, the market tends to ignore it.”

Which is what is happening to Zillow as the company steadily decreases asking prices for hundreds of homes it overpaid for across the Front Range.

Anzur recently brought clients to a Zillow-owned home in the south metro area that was priced about $75,000 over similar properties in the neighborhood. The property next door, he said, was blighted; no grass, peeling paint and rusting barbecues in the dirt.

“Zillow could not see that. They see beds, baths, square footage and locations,” Anzur said. “Their algorithm really fell short in evaluating other things that are important to purchasers.”

For many years, real estate brokers have had to educate sellers and buyers who click over to Zillow’s zestimate tool that provides often-incorrect values.

“Now we have the company behind the zestimate saying ‘We just didn’t get it right,’” Anzur said.

‘Not great for consumers’ Milford Adams, the chair of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors board of directors, said he is unaware of a real estate investment trust or other corporation ever releasing hundreds of homes into the Denver market in a matter of months.

ZILLOW FROM PAGE 18

Adams said it was hard to determine if Zillow was influencing prices by paying above-listing prices for homes because just about every recent home sale in metro Denver has been above asking price “for a while.”

“So Zillow is certainly not the only buyer paying above asking,” Adams said.

And Zillow was diverse in its acquisitions. Its portfolio of more than 500 homes on the Front Range is spread across many neighborhoods. So selling those, even in bulk, will not likely impact a regional, or even neighborhood market, Anzur said.

DelPrete, with CU’s Leeds School, expects Zillow’s exit from flipping homes to lure institutional investors eager to secure a swath of hot-market housing — either for renting or selling — in a single deal.

“That is not great for consumers or Coloradans,” DelPrete said.

Unless, of course, Zillow plans to sell each of the homes to individual buyers. The company has reduced the price for just about every home it is selling in the Front Range.

“But that’s not what Zillow has talked about,” DelPrete said. “They have talked in public about selling to those institutional investors.

Those large investors, they are in a position of power here. They are in the business of buying homes and renting them out and they’ve been doing that for years and they do it profitably. They are not going to overpay for these homes.”

On Nov. 10, the Wall Street Journal reported that Zillow had reached a deal to sell 2,000 homes in 20 markets to Pretium Partners, a New York hedge fund that planned to offer the properties for rent. The report said Zillow received “market price for the properties.”

Institutional investment in real estate is common in Colorado.

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit, shows 128 REITs owning 8,734 properties in Colorado. Those properties include nearly 3,200 billboards, 1,200 communication towers and a mix of shops, health care facilities, storage facilities, apartment buildings, resorts and office buildings.

REITs own 3,139 single-family homes in Colorado, the trade group said.

‘Catastrophic pricing failure’ DelPrete, who studies the online iBuying phenomenon that Zillow hoped to tap with Zillow Offers, said the online company’s highpriced purchases of homes this summer marks “a catastrophic pricing failure.”

“They made a systemic mistake,” he said, noting that Zillow bought more homes in the third quarter of 2021 than it had purchased in the previous three quarters combined.

Other instant buying companies, like market-leader Opendoor Technologies Inc. and its smaller rival Offerpad Solutions Inc., saw the market cooling in July and began reeling in the prices they paid for

homes, DelPrete said. Zillow kept buying at a record clip, paying prices well above listing.

“It was like brake lights on the highway, but Zillow was in the passing lane going 80 mph and they didn’t see the brake lights or simply ignored them,” DelPrete said.

Both Opendoor and Offerpad, which offer online tools and programs for swift home buying and selling, last week reported record revenue in the third quarter. Both publicly traded companies are active in the Front Range, with Opendoor owning more than 350 homes in 10 counties and Offerpad owning roughly 20 in the region.

Most of Opendoor’s and Offerpad’s purchases in the Front Range, unlike Zillow, were from last year or early 2021.

Offerpad, which launched in 2015, told investors on Nov. 10 it was expanding into new markets after buying 2,753 homes and selling 1,673 homes in the three months ending Sept. 30. The company’s third-quarter revenue grew 190% over the same period in 2020, reaching $540 million.

Opendoor, which launched in 2014 and is the largest iBuying company, with nearly 18,000 homes in 44 markets, told investors on Wednesday it had purchased 15,181 homes and sold 5,988 homes in the third quarter of 2021, with revenue for the three months reaching $2.3 billion, up 91% from the previous quarter.

DelPrete warns against reading the collapse of Zillow’s home-flipping business as a sign that instant buying is a failed enterprise. He’s not quite ready to say Amazonstyled click-to-buy home purchasing is the future though.

“It’s still too early to tell. iBuying is new … and the path to profitability and sustainability is uncertain,” he said. “But just because Zillow can’t, doesn’t mean it can’t happen.”

‘What is the game plan?’

Patrick Muldoon, whose Muldoon Associates brokerage works in both Colorado Springs and Pueblo, remembers seeing Zillow buying homes in his region this summer and fall.

“They were making offers on properties locally where I was saying ‘What is the game plan here?’ They were in neighborhoods where everything was $475,000 to $490,000 and they come in at $520,000 to $530,000. It just didn’t make a lot of sense,” said Muldoon. “We thought maybe it was just here but, obviously, they were doing that everywhere.”

Muldoon, like DelPrete, doubts Zillow will be negotiating thousands of individual deals for the properties it hopes to sell, and even if it does, it is unlikely to have an impact on the Front Range real estate market.

“We have far higher demand than we have properties for sale so I wonder if even several hundred homes hitting the market is enough property to even make a blip on the housing shortage we have been dealing with for years now on the Front Range,” Muldoon

said.

There are a lot of factors clouding the Colorado real estate market right now as demand peaks, prices soar and the inventory of for-sale homes reaches record lows. Inflation, which hit a 30-year high in October, could pinch homebuyer budgets. Interest rates could climb as the Fed maneuvers around that inflation.

If interest rates climb, Zillow might look pretty smart having shed thousands of for-sale homes from its portfolio.

“Sure, maybe Zillow lost money and maybe they made bad decisions, but did the company get out when the getting out was good?”

Muldoon said. “We could be six months from now looking back and saying ‘Wow, did they see this coming?”

D’Evelyn honored after winning 9th marching band state title

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

DENVER — D’Evelyn Junior/ Senior High School honored one of the school’s most accomplished programs Thursday afternoon with an all-school assembly.

The D’Evelyn Marching Band captured its ninth Colorado Bandmasters Association’s state championship title Nov. 1. The Jaguars won the Class 3A title with a final’s score of 82.850 at Colorado State University-Pueblo’s ThunderBowl Stadium.

It was the first marching band state competition in two years for Colorado. The Colorado Bandmasters Association decided to cancel the Fall 2020 competitive season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As a senior and having won every state championship since my freshman year it was a little bit expected, but we always don’t want to take it for granted,” D’Evelyn senior Jordan Kyler said of another state title for the Jaguars. “We were still pushing all the members of the band to keep working hard.”

D’Evelyn didn’t miss a beat this year. The Jaguars took first place in 3A at the Jeffco Marching Festival, competed in the Legacy Marching Festival, Bands of America - West Texas Regional, 4A/3A/2A Metro Regionals and the Arapahoe Marching Festival along with the state title.

They also finished first overall at the Jeffco Marching Festival and 4A/3A/2A Metro Regionals.

“It was five years of championships when I took the job,” said D’Evelyn marching band director Becky Paschke, who is in her sixth year at the helm of the Jaguars’ music programs. “There was an expectation to have a lot of success.

Luckily, we have pulled it off.”

To keep the music going in 2020, D’Evelyn split up its marching band into four cohorts — wood winds, brass, percussion and color guard.

“We wanted to make sure we kept training the kids and having them

opportunities for them to be social,” Paschke said. “With all the skills they build during the COVID year we applied for the Presidential Inauguration.”

D’Evelyn’s marching band had a virtual performance that was aired during President Joe Biden’s inauguration.

“We continued working on difficult music so we were still getting better with the music,” said Kyler, who was one of D’Evelyn’s drum majors this year. “We kept everyone encouraged and keep going. We used

it as a community event to keep people going through COVID.” Many marching bands across the state were down in numbers when it came to participation this season.

D’Evelyn kept its numbers up with 105 members.

Just like many of the high school sports, music has become a yearround activity.

“The marching band kids will go into symphonic band, but we continue to have color guard and percussion have winter programs that are competitive as well,” Paschke said.

“It never stops.”

The future of the marching band program at D’Evelyn plans to continue its upward trajectory. The Jaguars competed in their first outof-state competition this year with the Bands of America - West Texas Regional. Paschke hopes to broaden D’Evelyn’s scope.

“Our goal next year or the year after we would like to go to national contests to we how we do nationally,” Paschke said.

Daniel Cardenas takes aim at Pomona wrestling history

PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

DENVER — There is no chance Pomona senior Daniel Cardenas is going to get ahead of himself this wrestling season.

Sure … the 3-time individual state wrestling champion is attempting to make history this season.

Cardenas is trying to join the exclusive 4-timer club, but also would be the first Pomona wrestler to become a 4-time high school state champion in Colorado.

“I’m not making too big of a deal of it,” Cardenas said during the CHSAA Media Day on Nov. 9 at Ball Arena.

“It’s going to be another state championship (tournament), nothing too crazy.”

Cardenas is banking that what happened to Pomona wrestling legend Tom Clum more than 20 years ago won’t be on tap at the state tournament coming up Feb. 17-19 at Ball Arena.

“I’ve heard about it obviously. It’s a crazy story to hear,” Cardenas said of the Clum story. “It drives me more and harder not to allow that to be a thought in my head.”

Clum was attempting to be the first Colorado high school wrestler to become SEE WRESTLING, P21

an undefeated 4-time state champion. He took his 148-0 record up against Wasson’s Brett Roller in the 5A 125-pound title match during the 2001 state championships.

In what was a wild match, Clum had a 12-8 lead late in the third period. However, Roller pulled off a 2-point takedown and 3-point nearfall in the final 10 seconds taking a 13-12 victory over Clum.

Current wrestling coach at Pomona — Sam Federico — had actually just moved from Oregon to Colorado and was a fan in the stands at Pepsi Center getting his first taste of the state tournament.

“I had never been to a high school state wrestling tournament like that before. It was packed. It was crazy,” Federico said. “Growing up in Oregon we had 5,000 to 6,000 fans, not 15,000 or 16,000.”

Federico admitted he didn’t even know where Pomona High School was located. He watched as bedlam happened after Clum’s loss.

Being in Cardenas’s corner at Ball Arena for a fourth straight state title is what Federico envisions more than 20 years after Clum just fell short of becoming Pomona’s first

Pomona’s Daniel Cardenas celebrates after his pin of Poudre senior Dean Nobel to win the Class 5A 138-pound title Feb. 22, 2020, at Pepsi Center. He would repeat the feat earlier this year to become a three-time state champ. Cardenas now begins his senior year at Pomona, in search of a rare fourth state PHOTO BY DENNIS title.

4-time state champion.

“For him winning is not a goal. It’s a byproduct of the work he puts in and he puts in a ton of it,” Federico said of Cardenas. “He is a great leader on our team. He makes my job easier.”

As a team, Pomona is attempting to grab a fourth straight 5A team title.

“Everyone just works hard consistently. We have to stay on each other as a team like we always have,” Cardenas said as Pomona zeros in on a fourth consecutive team title.

“It will come. It is going to come.”

One change for Cardenas came a handful of weeks ago. He had verbally committed to Cornell University, but switched to Stanford University. Rob Koll has recruited Cardenas when he was at Cornell.

When Koll was named the new coach at Stanford in May the Pomona wrestling standout decided to make the change to the west coast.

It’s clear with his college decision behind him now Cardenas can turn his complete focus is taking care of business on the mat. Something Cardenas has done his entire high school career setting up a history making moment.

“I don’t even try to think about that type of stuff,” Cardenas said of on the brink of history. “I try to think about each match.”

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

- Aldous Huxley

Every day, the government makes decisions that can affect your life. Whether they are decisions on zoning, taxes, new businesses or myriad other issues, governments play a big role in your life.

Governments have relied on newspapers like this one to publish public notices since the birth of the nation. Local newspapers remain the most trusted source of public notice information. This newspaper publishes the information you need to stay involved in your community.

Notices are meant to be noticed.
