Caraveo wants to retake the 8th District seat
Yadira Caraveo wants to reclaim her 8th Congressional District seat by taking on Republican Gabe Evans, who defeated her in November.
Caraveo, a pediatrician, on Tuesday announced her candidacy in next year’s midterm election saying Evans has shown he has little interest in representing the people of the 8th Congressional District, which includes much of Adams County and portions of Weld County.
“I know how hard it is for working families to make ends meet; my parents raised me right here in Adams County on my dad’s
construction worker pay and I worked my way through college and went on to medical school,” said Caraveo in a news release. “ e 8th District deserves a representative who’s looking out for them but Gabe Evans has already shown that he will always put Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and his MAGA backers in Washington rst.”
Caraveo was the rst representative of CO-08 when it was newly drawn in 2022, becoming Colorado’s rst Latina member of Congress. She narrowly won the CD-8 seat in 2022 and then lost to Evans in November by less than 2,500 votes. Evans, by ipping the seat, helped the GOP achieve a narrow majority in the House of Representatives.
“I can’t stand by while Gabe Evans tries to rip away health care from tens of thousands of Coloradans, including the very families I served as a pediatrician, and make life harder for working families,” Caraveo said in her statement. “Now more than ever, Coloradans need a leader who will stand up for them and do the right thing – I’m ready to continue doing just that.“
State Rep. Manny Rutinel and John Szemler of ornton have also said they want to run in the Democratic primary race in a bid to eventually unseat Evans, according to Colorado Public Radio.
Republican Lopez takes 3rd shot at governor
Former Parker mayor, 4th CD stand-in says ‘We can’t a ord to sit back’
BY CAITLYN KIM CPR NEWS
Republican Greg Lopez is hoping the third time’s the charm.
He’s joining an increasingly crowded eld of candidates and launching another bid for governor.
“It feels like we’re losing the Colorado we love, but we don’t have to accept this,” Lopez said in a videotaped announcement. He highlighted a ordability issues, public safety and government regulations. “ e future of Colorado is on the line. We can’t a ord to sit back.”
His message also stressed political unity.
“We’ve been told we must pick sides, we’re too di erent to work together. But I don’t believe that for a second. We don’t need more political games, we need real leadership,” he said.
Lopez touted, “people over politics,” in his gubernatorial launch, saying it was a movement “about listening, not dividing.” It’s a phrase that’s been used by congressional Democrats in the last few years.
Earlier this year, Lopez nished a short term-stint as a member of Congress. He was elected in a 2024 special election to nish the rest of GOP Rep. Ken Buck’s term in the Republican-stronghold 4th Congressional District.
He touted himself as a place holder candidate during the vacancy committee meeting, vowing to serve only six months and not run for a full term in the seat, which is now held by U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert. Lopez ran for the Republican nomination for governor in 2022, losing out to Heidi Ganahl in the primary. In 2018, he came in third in the Republican primary.

Fiber to deploy 100%
optic service
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Work began this month to install a new ber optic network in Westminster, starting in the Sheridan Green neighborhood.
Westminster is the second city in Colorado to receive GFiber service, the city said.
Company and city o cials said the advanced GFiber service will help bring increased digital access, competition, choice and a ordability for residents. Construction will run through 2025, and residents may see work occurring along the public right-of-way. GFiber will use micro-trenching along the public side of the street to minimize impact to the community during construction, according to a city news release.
Multiple services
Westminster Assistant City Engineer Seth Plas said in a news release that bringing ber internet service to the city has been a multi-year process that required collaboration from various departments to ensure safety and minimize disruptions during construction.
“When these ber companies rst approached the city, there was not a suitable process to accommodate this large deployment e ort of new ber infra-
Regional Air quality group o ering rebates to replace gas-powered yard tools
Colorad’o’s Regional Air Quality Council’s Mow Down Pollution program is teaming up with Adams County and the cities of Westminster, Commerce City, ornton, Northglenn and Brighton to let residents trade in old gas-powered mowers for vouchers to help purchase a new, clean electric alternative.
Gas-powered lawn mowers, leaf blowers, string trimmers and other gas powered tools are the Front Range’s third largest source of ground-level ozone causing pollutants, according to the air quality council.
While lawn mowers have small engines, they lack major emissions control devices and have an oversized impact on our air quality. One hour of running a gas-powered mower creates as much pollution as driving a car 300 miles, according to an air quality council statement.

In addition to GFiber, Metronet and Intrepid – two competing internet service providers – are expanding their highspeed, ber optic internet services for residents and businesses. at should further narrow the digital divide for our community, Plas said.
“Successful installation of these networks should mean better competition for fast, reliable internet to enhance the quality of life for the residents and businesses in Westminster,” Plas said.
GFiber has worked closely with the city to develop communications materials to inform neighborhoods, including a construction hotline, door hangers, signage, and communications to stakeholders such as homeowners’ associations and neighborhood groups, the news release states.
Westminster joins a select group of cities nationwide where Google Fiber will deploy its 100% ber optic internet service. To learn more about GFiber in Westminster including pricing, residents can go to this FAQ document. Google Fiber is updating the progress of their work online at ber.google.com/ cities/Westminster.
“Replacing gas-powered mowers with electric alternatives is one of the low-hanging fruit for solving the Front Range’s air quality problems,” said Jacob LaBure, Program Manager for the RAQC. “ is is an action that everyone who owns a mower can take to help reduce air pollution.”
e air quality council is hosting its spring trade-in event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 26 at Commerce City’s Bison Ridge Recreation Center, 13905 E 112th Ave. in Commerce City e trade-in event is open to residents of Westminster, Commerce City, Northglenn, Brighton, or unincorporated Adams County.
Residents can get a $200 voucher for veri ed residents who turn in their gas mower to be recycled. A separate, state-
funded 30% point of sale discount, and manufacturers’ discounts can also be stacked onto the savings. ese programs combined reduce the cost of a $449.99 mower to only $79.99. A variety of brands and models will be available for purchase.
To qulaify for the $200 rebate, residents must bring in a gas-powered mower to recycle and proof of residency such as a photo ID with current address or piece of mail and other photo ID. Limited vouchers are available and will be rst come, rst served. Other discounts are available to everyone.

Next Week Colorado Homeowners Will Receive Updated Property Valuations From Their County Assessors
During the first week of May in every odd numbered year, Colorado’s county assessors are required to notify every property owner of the full valuation which the assessor has assigned to each property. Unless revised downward through the statemandated appeal process, that valuation will be the basis of the property tax charged for that year and the following year.
The valuation you receive by letter or postcard is the assessor’s best guess as to what your property might have sold for on June 30th of the previous (even-numbered) year. That assumes, however, that the condition of your home is the same on Jan. 1st of this year and next year as it was on June 30th of last year. If your house is bigger or smaller as of January 1st, that year’s valuation and therefore your property taxes must be adjusted accordingly.
The system actually depends on your participation in correcting the assessor’s valuation which was the result of a computer-driven “mass appraisal” system, because there’s no way that the assessor’s staff of human appraisers could create a valuation for every home in the county. Those appraisers will, however, read or listen to your appeal of the valuation which their system generated for your home.
Bottom line, therefore, is that you owe it to yourself and to the county to help the assessor come up with the proper valuation for your home.
The county assessors are expected to make it easy for property owners to determine wheth-
er they guessed correctly at your home’s value on June 30th of last year. For Adams County, your first step to take is to visit the assessor’s website, https://assessornovs.adcogov.org/ adamscountynovs, where you enter the Account Number from the Notice of Valuation which you received by mail.
If your home is in a different county, Google that county assessor’s website and the process should be similar to what I describe below.
On the assessor’s web page for your home, you should be able to look for qualified comparable sales that occurred during the eligible period, which is the 24 months prior to June 30, 2024.
Remember above all, the intention is to determine what your home was worth on June 30, 2024, not what it is worth today! Your taxes for both 2025 and 2026 will only be based on what your home was worth back then! The only adjustment would be if you home is physically different on January 1st of each year because of, for instance, it was burned to the ground or had an addition built.
If you find a good comp to use in your appeal, you need to “time adjust” its sale price. Time adjustment is based on how much homes increased in value during those 24 months. The county assessor will announce the average percentage increase in values from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2024 for Adams County. (I suspect it’ll be about 2%.) Divide that by 24 months, to determine the increase in values for residential properties per month. That “time adjusted” price is what you would need to cite in your appeal.
Note: If, by chance, you bought your home on or close to June 30, 2024, don’t assume that
Celebrate Earth Day With Free Film Screenings This Saturday
The Colorado Environmental Film Festival (CEFF), which I wrote about and co-sponsored in February, returns to the Green Center on the Colorado School of Mines campus this Saturday, April 26th, 1 to 3 pm, for a screening of two environmental films. Admission is free, although a contribution of $12 or more is encouraged.
The first film is Peaks to Prairie and is described as follows: “In Boulder County, an ambitious initiative harnesses the power of nature to combat climate challenges in the peaks and prairie ecosystem. As megafires rage across the Western U.S., millions of acres of nearby agricultural prairies remain degraded, stripped of the nutrients vital for a thriving landscape. To address these challenges, three ecological partners—Boulder Watershed Collective, Grama Grass & Livestock, and Boulder Mushroom—have come together in a pioneering effort to restore the land.”
The second film is Common Ground (43 minutes). It’s described as follows: “From the creators of Kiss the Ground (CEFF’s 2021 Best of the Fest), this eye-opening film explores the regenerative farming movement and its potential to heal the soil, reverse climate change, and restore human health. Featuring passionate farmers, activists, and thought leaders, Common Ground offers a hopeful vision for the future of our planet— and the role we all play in shaping it.”
This nicely updated and well-maintained condo at 10259 W. 55th Drive is in the Skyline Estates subdivision east of Kipling between the campus of Red Rocks Community College’s Arvada campus and the athletic fields on 58th Avenue. When you look out the bedroom window or from the enclosed patio between mature evergreen trees, all you see in greenbelt, a children’s playground and those athletic fields. No traffic noise, just the sounds of birds enjoying our spring weather! This condo is in great condition, as you’ll see when you come to my open house this
The screenings are followed by an audience chat “to dive deeper into the stories, themes, and action steps from each film.”
The Green Center is located at 924 16th Street in downtown Golden. Street and lot parking is free on weekends. I put a link for ordering tickets for as little as $0 on our blog, http://RealEstateToday.substack.com. There are trailers you can click on for each film.
Lennar to Build 1,500 Denver Area Homes Using Geothermal Energy
Lennar, one of the nation’s biggest home builders, announced recently that it is going to build 1,500 homes in the Denver area using geothermal energy to heat and cool them. It’s likely that these will be all-electric homes, although that was not mentioned, since gas will not be needed for space or water heating.
Dandelion Energy is the builder’s partner in the project, using heat pumps to extract heat from the ground in the winter and to extract heat from the homes in the summer. Each home will have its own individually drilled geothermal wells, which surprised me. If the homes are close together, a community geothermal system might make more economic sense.
The goal is to complete the 1,500 homes by the end of 2026, making it the largest residential deployment using geothermal so far.
April
your purchase price will be the assessor’s valuation of your home, because, regardless of what you paid for your home on June 30, 2024, its valuation is based on what eligible comps indicate it should have sold for. Your home will be only one of three comps that you can use in your appeal.
Using the procedure described above, it’s possible that your home was valued correctly, but if it was overvalued, you need to appeal using a form that you can probably find on the assessor’s website.
Your form is due in the assessor’s office by June 8, 2025, so you’ll want to mail it by June 1st if you can’t deliver it in person to the assessor’s office. My recommendation is always to request an in-person meeting with the assessor’s office. You can make an appointment or just show up and wait in line. You’ll be notified of the result of your appeal by August 15th.
Spend some time surfing around the assessor’s website to learn about the appeal process, including further appeals if the assessor’s office doesn’t respond favorably to your appeal.
This Ad Will Appear Bi-Weekly Instead of Weekly, Starting This Week
Writing the articles for this full-page “advertorial” has been my privilege and passion for over two decades, but I have decided to give myself a break and publish every other week instead of weekly so I can devote more time to my thriving real estate practice and family life. All 26 newspapers in which it appears have graciously allowed me to make this change, and I look forward to having next week “off”! Look for me to return every other week starting now. On those “off” weeks, including May 1st, I’ll be publishing half-page ads on related topics. In next week’s ad, I start a series on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Look for it on this page.
All counties are supposed to follow the rules for determining the full valuation of your home and for you to appeal the assessor’s determination, but there is variation, especially in the county websites, so please forgive any errors!
Review: My Mustang EV Is a Fine Replacement for My Tesla
A couple months ago, I reported that I had traded in my Tesla Model Y (which I loved) for the Ford Mustang Mach E after testdriving multiple other brands, including Chevrolet, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia and Nissan. Now that I’ve put 1,000 miles on my Mustang, and knowing that many readers may be thinking of trading in their Teslas, I thought it time to play automotive critic and write a review of the Mustang.
A few years ago, I spent 2 weeks driving an F-150 Lightning, which I liked, so I knew I would like the Mustang. Its “BlueCruise” hands-free driving, which only works on divided highways, is quite nice, but not worth (to me) the $50/month subscription fee after my three months’ free trial. It’s nowhere near as nice as Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” which I reviewed favorably in my Nov. 21, 2024, column and which costs twice times as much ($99 per month or $8,000 purchase).
Without “BlueCruise,” there is lane-keeping and adaptive cruise control which can be used on city streets and arterials. The lanekeeping is not as effective as in the Tesla, wandering to the very edges of lanes instead of keeping strictly to the center, and it gives out on sharper curves, which Tesla is great at. But what I prefer about Ford’s lane-keeping is that it’s automatic. When I break the lanekeeping to change lanes, it locks into the new lane without me having to set it again.
The adaptive cruise control is much better than Tesla’s, because when the posted speed limit changes, it automatically resets the set speed. Since I set it for 10 mph over the speed
limit, when it resets, it sets the new speed control accordingly. Not true on the Tesla.
My favorite feature is the “1-Pedal” setting for driving. This uses regenerative braking to slow down the car at a good rate when you release the accelerator pedal. And when it comes to a stop, it holds the car whether on an incline or not. The best thing about it is that once I have set it to “1-Pedal” driving, it is already set every time I drive. (It’s not the factory default setting, which is with minimal regenerative braking and unwanted “creep” as if you were driving a conventional car.)
The “frunk” is not as big as in any Tesla, but it’s bigger than other brands of EV, some of which have no front storage at all.
Like the newer Teslas, there is no need for a key fob (although they give you two), because your phone is your key. Instead of door handles, you touch a button above each door, which pops the door open enough to pull on it. There’s a smartphone app. It’s useful, but not as complete as Tesla’s.
There’s an EV round-up happening in the Arvada United Methodist Church’s lot at 68th and Carr St. this Sunday, April 27, from 9 to noon. I’ll have my car there if you’d like to get a closer look. Also, I wrote more about it at http://RealEstateToday.substack.com
Charities Which Used Our Free Box Truck Miss It. Our GoFundMe Campaign Is Off to a Good Start.
Back in February, I announced that our truck needed a new engine and other repairs and that we decided to retire it instead. This was a big loss to such non-profits as Operation Feed the Troops, Family Promise, BGoldN, Christian Action Guild, Buffalo Bill Days, and the International Rescue Committee, among others, which used the truck more often than our clients!
The truck is off the road but still available to be repaired. So far, we’ve received over $2,000 in donations. If you’d like to contribute, visit www.BringItBack.info. Thanks!
Colorado State Patrol urges prom-goers to buckle up
Teens are least likely to use seatbelts, troopers said
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It takes a lot of moxie to get the out t, make the reservations and the vehicle, say Colorado State Troopers.
But do you have the guts to tell your prom date to buckle up?
Buckling up the single most e ective took to protect yourself in a vehicle crash, and last year, Colorado State Troopers
responded to 3,577 at-fault crashes for drivers aged 16-21; 310 of those happened during April 2024, the beginning of the traditional prom season in Colorado, according to the State Patrol.
Having a passenger while driving can divide or pull a driver’s attention. In fact, troopers found distracted driving to be the top crash causal factor for 16–21-year-olds in May of 2024, said Col. Matthew C. Packard, chief of the Colorado State Patrol, in the news release.
“Make sure you and your date have a fun time and a safe time. Buckle up and remind your date to do it too,” Packard said.
Seat belt use in Colorado is increasing with the current usage rate of 88%, the highest rate observed in the past 10 years. Unfortunately, teens are the lowest age demographic group to buckle up. Being properly restrained reduces your risk of injury by 50% and death by up to 65%, according to the news release.
“Troopers have heard several excuses from ‘I forgot’ to ‘It was wrinkling my outt’,” said Packard. “Safety devices aren’t optional. And, on an evening when you are excited, out driving late, or have a passenger, you need to take responsibility with the privilege of your license.”
Lap and shoulder belts prevent ejec-
tion from vehicles and keep people from colliding with the vehicle interior during a crash, according to the State Patrol. When worn properly, seat belts protect drivers and passengers by spreading the force of impact across a body’s strongest parts and keep occupants from being ejected from the vehicle. It’s also important that everyone in the vehicle wears a seat belt. Unbelted occupants can put other people in the vehicle at risk. e unbelted person can be thrown around the vehicle with great force and strike the other passengers, according to the news release.
Bike Brighton’s Full Moon rides return for 2025
Monthly bike rides to various parks around the city that are timed to coincide with full moons return to Brighton for 2025.
Full Moon Bike Rides are familyfriendly rides that are also suitable for advanced riders. All riders will begin at the same time, but ride organizers can split faster riders into separate groups during the route, if needed. Snacks will be provided after each ride, along with a few bicycle-related giveaways.
Bike Brighton’s 2025 Full Moon Bike Rides o cially started back up on April 12 with the 5.6 mile Pink Moon ride that took riders from Kennith Mitchel Park to Benedict Park.
e program continues in May with the May 12 Flower moon ride and a special May 21 Ride of Silence. e Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph, wear helmets, follow the rules of the road and remain silent during the ride. e ride, which is held during National Bike Month, aims to raise awareness that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. e ride is also a chance to show respect for and honor the lives of cyclists who have been killed or injured. Maps of the routes and sign-up information are available on the city’s website at https://www.brightonco.gov/3133/ Full-Moon-Bike-Ride-2025. e monthly rides continue through September 7.
e rides all begin and end at Brighgton’s City Hall south parking lot, 500 S. 4th Ave., with registraiton at 5:30 p.m. Rides are all scheduled to begin at 6 p.m., weather permitting.
All participants must sign a waiver prior to their rst ride. is signed waiver is good for all Bike Brighton rides and events through December 31, 2025.
Prior to beginning each ride, Bike Brighton o cials will conduct a short talk about rules, safety, and fun sights along the route.
Helmets and bike lights are strongly recommended. Each rider is also encouraged to bring their own water bottle during warmer months.
Questions should be directed to Amanda Aburto at alaburto@brightonco.gov.

Eyes on Evans
e DCCC, the House Democrats’ campaign arm, has listed Evans as one of their top targets in the mid-terms, according to CPR.
Evans is a former Arvada police o cer and Army veteran. He also served in the state House before running for Congress.
e DCCC has been critical of Evans for not holding in-person town halls and supporting the GOP’s budget resolution, which calls for a $880 million cut for the Energy and
Commerce committee. It’s a cut that many claim can only happen if the committee cuts Medicaid.
Evans has said no decisions have been made regarding cuts to Medicaid but that the waste and corruption within the fund is going to be targeted.
e House Republicans’ campaign arm and GOP leadership are expected to back Evans during the midterms and that the freshman Congressman is doing what his constituents want.
NRCC spokesman Zach Bannon said Evans “is putting the people of Colorado rst, and voters will send him back to Congress next fall,” according to CPR.

Bennet sets o campaign struggle — for Senate
Senator’s entrance into governor’s race ignites shadow campaign
BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
Michael Bennet, Colorado’s senior U.S. senator, announced April 11 that he will run for governor in 2026, entering the race as the de facto favorite and igniting a power struggle among the state’s top Democrats over who will be appointed to his seat in Washington if he wins.
“I think we can address many of the challenges that people are facing — from housing to education to health care and mental health care — and also make Colorado a model for the rest of the country,” Bennet said in an interview with e Colorado Sun ahead of his announcement.
Bennet was appointed to the Senate in 2009 by then-Gov. Bill Ritter and is now in his third term. A graduate of Yale Law School, he previously served as superintendent of Denver Public Schools and chief of sta to then-Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper. Hickenlooper went on to be governor and is now a fellow U.S. senator.
Before rising in Democratic politics, Bennet worked for the conservative billionaire Phil Anschutz as part of the Denver businessman’s investment arm.
Bennet is the second big-name Democrat to jump into the gubernatorial race. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced his candidacy at the start of the year.

paigns for governor, saying he’s con dent he will be able to do both jobs at once.
“I am going to continue to work tirelessly to both ful ll my responsibility to Colorado and to continue to help lead the battle against Donald Trump,” he said. “I have run for o ce before while I’ve been in this job. To be really honest, my schedule doesn’t change very much when I’m running for o ce versus when I’m not.”
Bennet’s decision to jump into the gubernatorial race has started behind-thescenes maneuvering to replace him in the Senate.
Should he be elected governor, Bennet could resign from the Senate and let Gov. Jared Polis select the person who would serve out his term, which ends in January 2029. However, Bennet said he plans to stay in the job until he is sworn in as governor and hand pick his successor.
“I believe that if I’m elected governor, I will be in the position to pick the replacement,” he said.
U.S. Reps. Joe Neguse, Jason Crow and Brittany Pettersen are seen as the top contenders for Bennet’s seat. Colorado has never had a Black senator or a woman senator.
Neguse, who is Black, was also mulling a 2026 gubernatorial bid, but endorsed Bennet.
Pettersen didn’t rule out pursuing the appointment when asked recently by e Sun.
“I’m honored to have people calling me and that have me in the consideration,” she said. “Oftentimes women are overlooked and underestimated.”
Crow, who also endorsed Bennet after also considering a 2026 bid to be Colorado’s next governor, is also interested in the appointment.

Lopez was elected the mayor of Parker in the 1990s. He also served as the Colorado Director of the Small Business Administration from 2008-2014. In 2020, the Trump Department of Justice and Lopez settled claims that he violated con ict of interest rules.
Current governor, Democrat Jared Polis, is term-limited.
race is likely to keep other big-name Democrats out of the contest. For instance, Secretary of State Jena Griswold was considering a run for governor next year, but she’s now running for attorney general in 2026 in the wake of Bennet’s plans.
In addition to support from Crow and Neguse, Bennet launched his campaign Friday with endorsements from Hickenlooper, Colorado Senate President James Coleman, D-Denver, and Colorado House Speaker Julie McCluskie, DDillon, as well as the backing of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston.
Bennet held a 10 a.m. event April 11 in Denver’s City Park to roll out more endorsements and talk about his campaign. Crow, Neguse and Johnston were there.
News of Bennet’s gubernatorial bid began to leak out ursday.
People began approaching Bennet last year in an attempt to draft him to run for governor. Initially, he resisted, telling top Democrats was going to stay in the Senate. But his views changed around the new year, as rst reported by e Sun in February.
“ e epiphany was knowing that there’s a really, I think, as important a ght in the states as there will be here in Washington,” he said. “ ere is also the opportunity to be able to do substantive work as an executive, to create solutions to the challenges that we’re facing economically, as a country and as a state.”
Bennet is setting his sights on the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights — “we are long overdue a conversation in Colorado about how our state government is funded” — and helping Colorado weather any federal funding cuts.
“I’ve got rst-hand experience of how
e last time a Republican was elected governor of Colorado was in 2002, when Bill Owens won his second term.

the federal government works, how Donald Trump works,” Bennet said. “I think I’m in a position to be able to help protect Colorado from some of the potential cuts that are coming, and to help us think through how best to respond to those cuts, both substantively and politically.”
If Bennet loses his gubernatorial bid and completes his current term, he would be Colorado’s longest-serving senator in the century since state legislatures stopped selecting senators.

Spring is the time for love to be in the air, and nothing quite says romance like a little, well, murder.
e Tony Award-winning musical, “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder,” has taken to the Arvada Center stage, bringing a healthy dose of dark humor, beautiful music and a unique twist of a love story.
“ e show is a story about a man who goes into a new chapter of his life, but the things he wants for himself might be separate from the relationship he’s in,” said Katie Jackson, who plays Phoebe D’Ysquith in the production. “It’s such a fun show, you can come into it knowing something about it, everything or nothing, and still really enjoy it and pick up the story.”
Directed by Geo rey Kent, “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder” runs at the Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Sunday, May 11. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
e musical centers on Monty Navarro (Marco Alberto Robinson), who discovers he’s eighth in line for an earldom in the aristocratic D’Ysquith family. His love interest, Sibella (Adriane Leigh Robinson) is on her way out due to Monty’s poverty, but if he can knock out the eight people ahead of him in the line of succession (all hilariously played by Shabazz Green), then perhaps he has a chance. As he “works” through the family, he meets Phoebe and starts to form a new connec-

tion that might change things.
“ e two women in Monty’s life are really di erent, but they have some interesting similarities as well,” Jackson said. “I’ve played this role before, so it’s fun to revisit and change some of the things I did the last time with Phoebe.”
e music that goes along with the story is an intricate and eclectic blend, running the gamut from more operatic songs to sultry numbers, and even a patter song or two. It requires talented vocalists to pull it o , Jackson said, and noted the cast and ensemble has done a fantastic job bringing the music to life.
In addition to the vocal mastery on display, the show is an impressive display of the way tech can add to a show. It features elaborate projections to give a thrilling visual aspect to the storytelling.
“I’ve never been part of a show where projections and illustrations were utilized so heavily,” Jackson said. “It connects all the pieces in a really fun, light way, and almost feels like a mixed-media piece.”
With so much going on in the world, Jackson hopes the show will prove a delightful and much-needed reprieve for audiences looking for a little fun.
“ is show takes something dark and heavy like murder and love and turns it into an enjoyable evening,” she said.
“You’re going to laugh harder than you think you should and get to have a nice mental break for an evening.”

Initial steps taken on potential fire station in northern Westminster
After the ill-fated Fire Department expansion proposal failed on last November’s election ballot, it is good to see some initial action by the Westminster City Council to address the need for a re station in the far north part of the city.
In January 2004, the city council created the North Huron Urban Renewal Area which is bounded by 150th Avenue, I-25, 128th Avenue and Huron Street. Tax revenues above the “base” amounts created in 2004 go to the urban renewal area for future capital improvements to improve the area. e proposed re station for the far north area is within the URA boundaries and would be an eligible expense.
It is important to note how the northern area has mushroomed in re service calls since 2003. Calls have increased by over 140% from 7,000 to over 17,000 annual calls in 2024. is area is one of two parts of the city which do not meet the Fire Department’s four-minute respond time standard.
City Council authorized transferring $250,000 of supplemental funds in the urban renewal fund for initial work on the proposed re station. e current authorization does not include design work or construction of any re station. While the capital cost of a new re station remains to be sorted out and how best to derive the needed funding, this is a good way to get the project started. Council and sta will likely have additional strategy sessions on not only how to fund some Fire Department capital improvements and added operating expenses, but to increase funding for street maintenance of all types.
e city has been lagging on both “fronts” for some time and need to present a plan to the voters. e $250,000 urban renewal money is a good small step in the right direction.

Iwant to take a moment to tell you about a hero few know.
Virginia Hall was born into a wellto-do family in 1909. She desperately wanted to be a part of the Foreign Service, so she left the comfort of her Baltimore home to study in Europe. Eventually, in the early 1930s, she took a clerical job in the U.S. Embassy in Poland. After relocating to a similar role in Turkey, Hall lost her left leg below the knee in a hunting accident and received a wooden prosthetic leg. She named her prosthesis “Cuthbert,” explaining that something that was going to be with her forever needed “a name”, and after a short convalescence, she continued to pursue her Foreign Service dream.
After being blocked multiple times from entering the U.S. diplomatic service, she eventually became an ambulance driver for the French at the start of World War II. She was later recruited by British Intelligence and served for two years as a British agent in France.
As the rst Allied spy in German-controlled territory, her success in the role was unparalleled. During a 15-month period behind enemy lines, she was often the only Allied source of informa-

Hopefully, the Superintendent and School Board will come back and try again with the operating budget needs and additional mill levy. Gaining voter support on any ballot issue is a year-round endeavor.
Who is keeping score?
I don’t know about you, but I like to keep up the ever-changing status of various legal actions, policy announcements and progress on major public improvements at all levels of government.
With Donald Trump’s return to the Oval O ce, it quickly became impossible to keep a close handle on ALL of the executive orders, the lawsuits led in response by di erent plainti s as well as the responses from the various federal courts up to and including the U.S. Supreme Court. Also, there are the lawsuits which the Trump Administration initiates like the recent Maine transgender sports case. Who has enough computer capacity and

Just getting the right judge matched up with the correct legal action and who won the last round before appeal would be a good addition to the daily newspaper crossword puzzle and Jumble.

I would bet he has exceeded any record set by former President Franklin D. Roosevelt with all of his public works and social programs not to mention all the actions taken without acts of Congress regarding World War II.

Resistance and grit, in the service of others
tion on German troop movements and fortications. With heroic e ort, she was able to establish networks of resistance that operated even after she ed France.
In November of 1942, with German forces close to capturing her, she crossed the Pyrenees on foot, with snow falling and “Cuthbert’s” rivets cutting her stump with every step.
Barely a year after her escape, she was back in France working for the U.S. precursor to the CIA. In her second 15 months of service, Hall’s work as a wireless operator and resistance organizer was identi ed by General Eisenhower as critical to the success of the D-Day invasion.
Hall was eventually honored, with some of the highest awards of distinction given in France, Britain and the United States. Additionally, the Germans acknowledged her as the most dangerous foreign operative in France, putting up posters and al-
locating signi cant resources to nding her. eir name for her was “ e Limping Lady.” Virginia Hall was identi ed by friend and foe as a di erence maker.
Even with all these accolades, Virginia Hall has faded from our collective memory. e one group of people who never forgot Hall were those who worked directly with her in France. e resistance hubs she created continued, for decades, after the war, to gather yearly to reminisce.
ose who attended the get-togethers said their conversations would always turn to their appreciation for the woman who did so much to help them and France. Even those who argued with her during the war about her initiatives came to appreciate her in re ection.
Virginia Hall wanted, with every ber of her being, to help free France and to make a di erence. In that work, she found in her very core an ability to persevere. She refused to allow Cuthbert, the dripping misogyny of the time, the loss of dear friends, the German military, criticism of her actions, or any list of hardships to sway her from her work supporting the Allies. In the end, her e orts were spectacularly successful.
I share Hall’s story with you in hopes
that when you are in the midst of a struggle you will remember that sometimes we need to set aside the focus on self and turn it toward others. When I am focused on helping others, I do not see the struggles of moving my body, I see the di erence I have made for someone. More importantly, I realize that my heart, not my limp, is what makes a lasting di erence. e same will be true for each of us.
I hope my words encourage you, and that you will share them with those who need support. ank you to everyone who has shared their stories with me so far; I truly appreciate hearing about the valuable ideas you nd in these columns and how you use them to uplift those around you.

There are opportunities in state’s school spending plan
As superintendents of two school districts deeply committed to academic excellence, equity, and community well-being, we believe in speaking up when opportunity knocks.Opportunity is knocking now. Colorado’s new school funding formula, enacted through House Bill 25-1320, is not just a long-overdue x to a broken system. It represents a fundamental shift toward fairness, need-based funding, and student-centered investment.
In its very rst year, the formula is projected to bring $2.4 million in additional state funding to Mapleton and $1.1 million in additional funding to Westminster. at is real money that will make a real di erence for real students. Even our neighboring districts with declining enrollment will fare better under this new model than under the old formula. ese are di cult times, especially with so many districts in Colorado experiencing declining enrollment. No district leader wants to make sta ng cuts, and we empathize with our colleagues across the state who are navigating these decisions. But the new nance formula is not responsible for these cuts, and it represents the best opportunity for Colorado students at the present time.
e truth is that Colorado has underfunded education for decades. at chronic neglect, not the new formula, is why so many districts are still trying to climb out of scal holes. e new formula is designed to ramp up over time, ultimately delivering $500 million in new education funding annually across Colorado. ere will be problems left to solve regarding funding Colorado’s schools even after the passage of this new formula, but we must seize this moment to take a giant step forward.
e new formula does not just increase funding. It distributes it more equitably. It prioritizes students living in poverty, English learners, and those with special learn-

Yvonne Fischbach, Executive Director of the District, tells me that the overall project will be in excess of $18 million and improvements will be phased over several years and will leverage grant opportunities to maximize their resources. e District has been successful in leveraging their funds taking $5.8 million in District funds and expanding them into $13 million to support park and facility improvements.

ing needs. It recognizes that di erent communities face di erent challenges and it tailors funding accordingly. For districts like ours, which serve diverse and highneed student populations, this approach is not only welcome—it will be transformative for what we can o er our students. e budget pressures many school districts face—including rising operational costs, declining enrollment, or failed local tax initiatives—are real and complex. But that is exactly why this new, reliable, and more just funding model matters. It gives all districts, whether growing or shrinking, urban or rural, a stable path forward.
Let us not lose sight of the bigger picture. e last time Colorado updated its school funding formula was in 1994. House Bill 25-1320 is the product of years of collaboration among educators, lawmakers, parents, and advocates. It is a historic e ort to nally align Colorado’s school funding system with the realities facing students in 2025. By staying the course with HB25-1320, we are giving our students—especially the most vulnerable among them—the resources, attention, and future they deserve. is new formula as a critical part of a long-awaited solution to our state’s school funding challenges. It will make a real positive di erence in our communities and our schools. And we urge our fellow Coloradans to support this transformative investment in our kids.
And what do you think of the new Rockies’ uniforms?
Well, have you seen the new “City Connect” uniforms which the Colorado Rockies unveiled recently? What do you think? Too splashy? Nice colors? Better than the Colorado license plate out ts?
e Rockies PR folks put out this description - “ e colors of the uniform pay homage to the perfect transition between day and night. Blending bluebird skies against the backdrop of purple mountain majesty, highlighted by brilliant orange and pink, the uniform signi es a vibrant, bold new future.”
Where do I begin?
e combination of colors reminds me of a ashy Easter bunny throwing out chocolate baseballs. What’s wrong with their old pin stripes or the purple tops? Just another way to sell merch I guess. Whoever wrote the above description must be a big dreamer. I can only wish for a Rockies “vibrant, bold new future.” at must mean the Monfort brothers are selling the team to someone who knows baseball and has plenty of money in their pockets. Oh well!

From hand painted cross stitch patterns to intricate knitted designs to textile complex quilts, artists and hobbyists alike are drawn to the array of ber arts shops and organizations strewn across the Denver metro.
Owners and employees of these establishments say the Denver ber arts scene is lively and inclusive. “We all have di erent vibes,” said Marsha Corn, owner of the Tangled Ball. “We all carry some of the same, some di erent, we all specialize. (But) we’re in it for the same reason because we all love ber and we all want to succeed and maybe make our customers love bers as much as we do.”
The Tangled Ball: ‘A community’ e Tangled Ball, located at 5505 W. 20th Ave. in Edgewater, is not just a yarn shop – it’s a vibrant community hub for individuals of all ages and skill levels to come together and engage in the ber arts.
“We have classes here, we have work-
shops here, we have events here,” Corn said. “It’s a safe place for people to come and just hang out and create.”
Corn said her mother inspired her passion for the ber arts, and she was inspired to open the Tangled Ball after sitting in a shop with some friends and wishing there was one similar near where she lived.
“So my mom taught me how to knit and crochet (and) do all that kind of stu ,” Corn said. “I’ve always wanted to open my own business, so I proposed the idea to my husband about (opening) a yarn store, and it was one of the few that he was like, ‘yeah, we could do that.”’
e location Corn chose was ideal because it’s within a marketplace that o ers food, drink and ample parking — creating a perfect environment for a community-centered store.
e Tangled Ball opened its doors in July 2020, after delays caused by the pandemic, and it has since grown into a space that serves many.
For Corn, the best aspect of the Tangled ball is the way it provides support to people.
“We solve each other’s world prob-
lems. We get people through divorces. We get people through breakups. We get people through what to make for dinner. It’s just such a great community,” Corn said.
As a lover of the ber arts, Corn feels di erent forms — such as needlepoint, knitting, crocheting and more — are both for those searching for a hobby and those skilled in the art of all of it.
For Corn, something like a hand-knitted article is a work of art.
“It’s the yarn. e color of the yarn. e texture of the yarn. e composition of the yarn. (It) has linens and silks and rolls blended into it, and it’s just beautiful,” Corn said. “It’s an art form of design patterns. I do say we don’t knit or crochet now out of necessity, we knit out of joy or hobby.”
Corn believes people especially enjoy the ber arts because it allows them to focus on something other than the stresses and challenges of day-to-day life.
“I’m not thinking about all the junk going on up here in the world,” Corn said. “I’m focused on what I’m doing, even if it’s just 10 minutes. I’m not thinking about what to make for dinner. I’m not thinking about politics. I’m not
thinking about religion. I’m just concentrating on what’s in front of me.”
Diversions Needlepoint: ‘Keeping needlepoint alive’
Similar to Corn, Colorado native and co-owner of Diversions Needlepoint, Cari Davis, was inspired by her late mother to practice the art of needlepoint. It was her passion for the art that eventually led her to pursue it as a career.
“I saw her doing it and wanted to do it,” Davis said. “(I love) the color, the people, the challenge, the creativity, and I love the tactile. I enjoy the kinesthetic.”
Davis and her mother, Mary Lou Kidder, initially opened Diversions in Vail. It is now located at 410 W. Hampden Ave., and for over 50 years, the store has brought ber arts supplies and knowledge to people throughout Colorado. Davis now runs the shop with her own daughter, Mandy Adams, who grew up in the ber business – even making her rst project, a belt, at the age of 4.

FIBER ARTS
Adams brought her own artistic talents to the shop, o ering custom design services such as hand-painted canvases for needlepoint projects. Her ability to turn a customer’s vision into a unique work of art quickly became a hallmark of the store.
“I was just born artistic,” Adams said. “I always drew and painted and played with color from the time I was just a little one. (I am) awful at math and everything else, but I can kind of draw.” e sta at Diversions, a mix of paid employees and volunteers, is knowledgeable and passionate about needlepoint. Many of the sta members have been with the shop for years, ensuring that customers always receive expert guidance and support.
“We’ve got a great group of women and wonderful people that volunteer here to help people,” Davis said. “Every day is di erent. You never know what’s going to happen or who’s going to walk in the door, and that makes it fun.”
Adams said she enjoys the challenge and the creative aspect of her art.
“You’re making heirlooms,” Adams said.
As the shop celebrates over ve decades of business, it remains committed to providing a welcoming space where people can explore their creativity, build connections and nd inspiration.
For Davis and Adams, it’s not just about selling products — it’s about building a community of makers.
“We hope to keep making people happy and inspire future generations and to keep needlework alive,” Davis said.
Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum: ‘All about stories’
Another institution that works to educate and foster a community of ber arts enthusiasts is the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden.
Located at 200 Violet St. Suite 140, this museum is dedicated entirely to the history, teaching and fundamentals of quilting.
“It’s a place where people really nd an opportunity to experience what quilts are all about,” said Holly Bailey, the museum’s education manager. “And quilts are all about stories — stories of the people who made the quilts, stories of people who owned the quilts and got to experience the quilts. Even brand new quilts, the makers, almost always have a story of why they made the quilt or things that happened along the way while they were making it.”
e museum has over 850 quilts in its permanent collection and about 150 quilts in its educational collections.
“(With) the permanent collection, preservation is kind of the primary thing that we’re concerned with, and then exhibiting so that people can see those quilts,” Bailey said.
e education collection contains quilts that don’t make it into the permanent collection.
“ ey’re still really valuable for education purposes,” Bailey said. “So we use those quilts to be able to bring them out. We take them out in trunk shows around the community and (country). e audience can touch
them. So the education collection has the ones that you can get up close and personal with.”
For Bailey, quilting began not as a lifelong passion, but as a deeply personal project.
“I started doing it for kind of a strange reason,” Bailey said. “My sister was a quilter and she was the major caretaker for my parents and lived very close to them. I lived 1,500 miles away.”
Bailey said her mother had Alzheimer’s. So as a way to help her stay engaged in the story of her life, Bailey and her sister decided to make a quilt of their mother’s memories.
“She could talk about it and it didn’t really matter whether she was right or wrong or anything, but it was conversational and it would be something that she would get to enjoy,” Bailey said.
Based on her experience, Bailey believes many people begin quilting due to sentimental purposes and then just fall in love with the storytelling element of the art.
“I think a lot of people get involved because of friends or family or somebody else,” Bailey said. “Maybe they learn it from their relatives or people they’re around. But it’s very creative. Most of the time it’s very relaxing. Touching fabric has a value in and of itself. It’s almost like giving somebody a hug when you give them a quilt because it’s something that’s going to wrap around them and they’re going to nd comfort in it.”
Bailey said many di erent people — from children to seniors — visit and enjoy all the services the museum has to o er, including its extensive library and classes.
Classes range from beginner quilting to advanced textile arts, with topics like hand-stitching, machine quilting and even digital-to-fabric design. One recent class explored how to turn a photograph into a quilt, using technology to manipulate and print images on fabric.
Another key highlight is the museum’s summer kids’ camp. Running for four weeks in June, the camp o ers young artists, ages 8 to 16, the opportunity to design and complete their own quilts.
“ ey do everything,” Bailey said. “From the design of it through all of the sewing, all of the quilting, the binding.” e museum also o ers free community groups, including hand-stitching circles, study groups and technique-focused clubs.
Despite the richness of the ber arts scene in the Denver metro area, Bailey feels there’s room for deeper collaboration.
“ ere’s a lot of variety, but we don’t come together very often and really trade ideas and crossover in our teaching,” Bailey said. “It would be nice if we could maybe be a little more intentional about that.”
One step toward greater unity is an upcoming partnership with the Embroidery Guild of America. e two groups will share knowledge through workshops, such as one on crazy quilts, which often incorporate intricate embroidery.
e team has recently expanded into a third unit of their building, with hopes to eventually occupy the entire space. e overall goal is to create a full- edged quilting and ber arts complex and a destination for locals and visitors alike.

Student group inspired these 7 state laws
Now, funding woes will likely end Colorado Youth Advisory Council
BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT
State Rep. Hugh McKean saw a problem. Although Colorado had an outlet for students to talk with lawmakers about issues relevant to them, those conversations happened near the end of the legislative session, and the students’ priorities often got lost.
So in 2019, the late Republican lawmaker from Loveland helped pass a law to revamp the Colorado Youth Advisory Council. It allowed students to meet before the legislative session to discuss priorities and present policy proposals, with up to three getting drafted into bills.
“ ey can come and present their ideas and re ne those ideas right here in the Capitol,” McKean said at the time.
But now, after six years of being able to draft real bills that have a shot at becoming law, COYAC is expected to lose that power. What started as a conversation among state lawmakers about cutting about $50,000 to run the program amid a $1.2 billion budget shortfall this year turned into altering the program after Republican leadership said it has strayed away from its original mission.
Republican leadership also said that legislators are paying for the group to draft laws — a few of which conservative lawmakers, who are in the minority, have opposed. ey’ve argued the legislature doesn’t do that for other groups.
e program was created in 2008 by former Durango Republican Rep. Ellen Roberts and brings together 40 students between the ages of 14 and 19 from Col-
orado’s 35 Senate districts and the Ute Mountain Ute and Southern Ute tribes. Students serve two-year terms.
Since 2019, student ideas have inspired more than a dozen bills, including the three under consideration this year. One proposal would reduce food waste in schools. Another bill would have students on the council advise lawmakers on the youth opioid crisis.
Sarah Moss, COYAC director, has pointed out how valuable the program is to the students. She’s pleaded with lawmakers to keep it, because students learn about the legislative process, how to talk with lawmakers, and other valuable skills. While the program will go on helping students learn and experience the legislative process, it’s clear students won’t be able to get legislation in front of lawmakers any longer. With that power gone, here are seven of the most signi cant laws that the council has helped inspire:

Sideline diagnosis: Trainer spots a rare condition
Standley Lake standout Graham grateful for eagleeyed team trainer
BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Every year, adversity hits high school athletes like “Good Riddance” by Green Day during a graduation ceremony. But not many have faced the challenges Liam Graham has in his high school career.
For the past three years, the Standley Lake High School senior struggled to identify the cause of the sharp pains in his legs and body.
Still, he didn’t stop playing football or running track, battling through the pain to try to live like an average student athlete. However, Graham’s athletic trainer would play a pivotal role in providing not just relief but also mental and medical support, as she knew what he was going through better than most.
Spotting the red flags
“It was a lot of stabbing pains, like when I was running,” Graham said. “It felt like I’d get stabbed in the leg, and it would just ache all day throughout the entire shin. It just wouldn’t go away all day, even after running.”
No stranger to the wear and tear that being a two-sport athlete can bring, it
was his sophomore year when Graham realized something more signi cant was wrong.
“We were doing a workout, and at the end of it, my legs were wobbling as I walked, and I think that’s probably the moment I remember being like, ‘Oh, that’s bad,’” Graham said.
Several doctors thought they knew the cause: shin splints, as some of Graham’s symptoms were consistent with those. So, treatment was implemented.
Graham would miss practices to let his body heal before playing in the games, spending every day with the trainers to try and nd some relief to get ready to play.
Adrenaline and pain meds would carry him through the games but bring him some rough nights full of discomfort, to say the least.
“Sleeping was very painful after the ibuprofen and adrenaline wore o ,” he said.
“ e adrenaline helped a lot, so once that was gone, it was very rough nights most of the time.”
To make matters worse, the treatments weren’t working, and Graham and his family scrambled for answers.
Some answers at last
It wasn’t until Mercedes Steidley, Graham’s athletic trainer at Standley Lake and with the Children’s Hospital Colorado Orthopedics Institute, posed a question: Could it be compartment syndrome?
“As soon as he said the treatment for shin splints wasn’t getting any better, and
that his foot starts to op as he was walking, I knew right away that was a red ag for me,” Steidley said, who has battled compartment syndrome herself for over a decade. “And so we referred him to Children’s Hospital Colorado with one of our providers, who then did the diagnosis for compartment syndrome.”
According to the Cleveland Clinic, a “compartment” is the medical term for a group of muscles, nerves and blood vessels. Compartments are covered by a fascia — a thin, rm membrane.
Compartment syndrome occurs when additional pressure builds up inside a compartment, and as a result, muscles press against the fascia more than they should. It’s a very rare condition, with fewer than 10 in 100,000 people experiencing it yearly.
Steidley said she was relieved when they found out the diagnosis in Graham but felt daunted for him about the potential di culties to come. Her own battle has been a struggle for years, including 16 total surgeries.
“My journey was a little bit di erent because mine was trauma-based,” she said. “Liam had mentioned he could lose his leg if he fractured it, and we didn’t catch the compartment syndrome. at was my journey. I almost lost my leg, and that still might be an option for me. With Liam, if we caught it early enough, like we did, we saved the leg right away so he didn’t have to go through such an extensive journey as I did.”

In her compartment syndrome experience, Steidley said doctors were trying to save muscle that had already been damaged due to a leg injury she su ered.

STATE LAWS
Student preferred names
One of the council’s more contentious bills, House Bill 24-1039 was an effort by students to support transgender youth and protect them from bullying.
The law says educators must call students by their preferred name upon request. Supporters said it reduces discrimination against transgender students and creates a more inclusive environment statewide.
Colorado House and Senate Democrats, who are in the majority, overwhelmingly supported the bill.
Meanwhile, opponents at the time pushed back because they felt it would infringe on educator and parent rights.
College financial assistance for foster youth
In 2021, COYAC students recognized that students in the foster care system had trouble getting to college. Citing a report from the University of Denver’s Colorado Evaluation and Action Lab, they highlighted that only 13.4% of students who entered foster care at age 13 enrolled in college by age 21. Their focus on the issue helped lawmakers file Senate Bill 22-008. The law sets aside $5 million a year in financial aid support for the about 4,500 foster kids statewide who might decide to go to college.
Student mental health resources
COYAC students had a hand in the information on Colorado student identification cards.
House Bill 22-1052 requires the identification cards to include the number, the website, and text to talk number of the 24-hour state’s crisis service center and Safe2Tell, a violence intervention and prevention program for students to anonymously report threats.
Eating disorder prevention
Colorado residents also have resources about eating disorders thanks to student ideas.
Senate Bill 23-014 created the Disordered Eating Prevention Program within the Department of Public Health and Environment, as well as a research grant that helped fund studies on the impacts and how to prevent eating disorders. The program holds information for Colorado residents on interventions, treatments, and other educational resources. Budget cuts will eliminate the program next year.
Student voice in academic standards review
Senate Bill 23-008 created opportunities for students to get involved in the state’s education standards review, giving students a voice in what they learn.
Student discipline review committee
A COYAC idea helped the state dig into discipline practices and whether certain groups of students were being disproportionately disciplined. Senate Bill 23-029 created a task force made up of 18 members and charged with reviewing discipline data and policies. It released a final report in August.
Free menstrual products in schools
Colorado schools are required to provide free menstrual products in school bathrooms after House Bill 24-1164.
The law ramps up how much schools must provide. For instance, schools must provide at least 25% of applicable student bathrooms in all applicable school buildings by June 30.

CONDITION
Not being able to save as much muscle as they hoped, Steidley said she is left with 30% function in her leg. So, early intervention is everything, she explained.
“Definitely having the intervention and the knowledge right off the bat saved, I think, both of us a heartache,” she said. “Because if he was out there with that increased pressure in that compartment, and then he fractured his leg, now that’s an overload of blood flow, which can then cut off blood flow to the muscle, and then the muscle actually dies. ... So, the sooner we can catch it to prevent that from happening, the better.”
Now, having an idea of what they’re dealing with, paired with Steidley’s experience and wisdom on the subject, they’ve been able to make progress in finding him relief.
On top of ibuprofen being his MVP, Graham said they’ll often do cupping or needling, which helps. But it’s still a struggle, and he’s working tirelessly to get back to where he was before this condition plagued him, Steidley said.
“It was tough. Liam’s a talkative, goofy kid, and on those painful days, he would just come in almost defeated, not knowing if he was going to be able to practice or if he was going to be able to play on Friday nights,” Steidley said. “And that was tough, really tough to see. ... He’s a really strong kid. It’s been a pleasure working with him. He comes in every day, just in so much pain, but wants nothing more than to be out on the field pain-free.”
Another scary — and even rarer — diagnosis
His parents, Brent and Amy Graham, are relieved to finally understand what their son has been dealing with for most of his high school journey.
Unfortunately, the compartment syndrome diagnosis, while shedding clarity on Graham’s turmoil, led to the discovery of another, even scarier condition.
“It’s incredible to have answers because for three years, he experienced debilitating leg pain, and it got dismissed time and time again by various orthopedic doctors as shin splints,” Amy said. “And thank goodness for Mercedes. Given her personal experience and her skills, she was able to notice things, and it brought him to the doctor that said, ‘Absolutely, I think he has compartment syndrome,’ and got treatment for it. But it’s just really unfortunate because he also has this incredibly rare artery condition as well.”
Graham was diagnosed with popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES), which only affects between 0.17% and 3.5% of the general population, according to the National Library of Medicine.
PAES is a rare vascular condition that results in a person’s calf muscle pressing on the popliteal artery (the main artery behind the knee), stopping or trapping it, making blood flow difficult or impossible to the lower leg and foot.
“When they did pulse checks, he actually didn’t have a pulse in his foot,” Amy said.
Since learning of his two new conditions, Graham has endured four surgeries: two for compartment syndrome and two for PAES.
“During the two surgeries that he just (most recently) endured the last couple of months in the operating room, they actually checked his pulse, and he had a
pulse for the first time (in his foot),” Amy said. “And his foot was warm because he actually had blood flow for the first time. And we don’t know how long that (had been).”
They could only operate on one leg at a time, which resulted in weeks of Graham being bedridden.
Normally an active teenager, it was tough to be stuck to his bed, watching TV and simply waiting to get his legs back, he said.
“It was overwhelming,” said Graham, who said it was difficult not to feel defeated or wallow in his reality. “Sometimes, you just had to sit at practice and watch them run, and it’s kind of draining a little bit.”
A grateful and hopeful future
Fast forward to the present day: Graham is stretching and getting ready for track and field practice in his final year as a Standley Lake Gator. The next day, he will compete in four track events. He is 10 weeks out from his most recent surgery.
Steidley is there, going through some treatment with him before he takes off.
As of now, the pain is still there, but it’s much more manageable. And spirits are up.
Fortunately, he was able to delay his surgeries until after the season ended last year and was able to run at state. He’s eager to get back to the big stage in 2025 and spoke about his goals in his final season.
“Last year, we broke two school records in the relays, and the other two would be cool to break,” he said. “And then rebreak those and then just go to state for all the relays again.”
March is National Athletic Training Month.
Steidley’s athletic trainer helped her
through her rehab at her small Division II college in New Mexico. She saw the impact it had on her mental and physical recovery and knew this was the career for her as well.
“That’s what got me into it,” said Steidley, who has been a trainer in Colorado for close to six years. “It allows you to spend time with athletes. I really struggled with not having the athlete title, but I still feel like I’m an athlete, so that is kind of my way of staying in the athlete world. I get to see kids at their worst, and then we spend every single day together to get them into their favorite spot to see them at their best. So that is the most rewarding part of this whole thing.”
Amy wants parents to recognize how important athletic trainers are to their child’s sports journey.
“Most parents, I would bet, don’t even know her name, which is crazy because they play such an integral role in an athlete’s health,” Amy said. “She had a hunch, and from that moment, we were communicating sometimes multiple times a week. So I’m just very grateful for that. I think that the mental toll that this has taken would have been far worse had he not had somebody like Mercedes to support him and motivate him and give him hope.”
What’s next for Graham? He’s still holding out hope to play college sports, perhaps as a walk-on, but he now wants to become an athletic trainer to help others like Steidley helped him.
“Listen to your athletic trainers,” Graham said. “They normally know more than you do. Also, listen to your body. If you know something’s wrong, trust yourself, but don’t think everything’s wrong. But trust yourself to ask questions about it.”
