Overcoming Victimhood Recently, I asked a friend how he was doing, and he broke down. Fighting back tears, he said he wasn’t doing well. His best friend was on life support, and the family was being asked to decide whether to remove the ventilator that was keeping him alive. On top of this, he admitted that his marriage was in trouble and his family was falling apart. How does one cope with disasters like losing a loved one, estrangement, divorce, bankruptcy, or a life-threatening illness?

How do we bounce back and become resilient, finding the strength to face another day, move forward, rebuild, and start over? At some point, we have experienced, or will experience, failure, tragedy, disappointment, or a devastating blow. Resilience is the art of bouncing back and is something we can learn and prepare for. Resilience is defined as mental toughness, perseverance, optimism, and the courage to stay in the arena. It is the opposite of victimhood.

Resilience is not hereditary or given to a select few. It is cultivated through thoughts, attitudes, actions, and behaviors. Studies show that the primary factor in resilience is having caring and supportive relationships.

I remember experiencing a TKO (Total Knock Out) 30 years ago when my husband of 20 years announced that he wanted a divorce. I thought my life was over. It took every ounce of energy to keep it together for the children. During my depression and shock, I had to buy a home, move, and figure out life on my own.

Family and friends lifted me out of the pit. The day of my move, I was not functional. I could hardly drive to the new house and meet the moving van because I could not see through my tears. When I arrived, I recognized several cars. My friends, neighbors, school chums, and work colleagues had created a moving team that was at the new house when I arrived. They had organized themselves into groups to tackle the tasks in the kitchen, bedroom, bathrooms, and basement.

Even the art crew was busy hanging mirrors and pictures.

By the end of the day, when my children arrived at their new home, the house was put together, with beds turned down, pictures hung, the refrigerator stocked with meals, and boxes hauled away. My friends’ help touched my heart; I knew I was going to

be okay. Cultivating deep, authentic relationships over many years compelled these life helpers to be there for me in my most profound need.

Once I moved, I had to readjust my life, take realistic baby steps toward recovery, and rebuild my confidence. I had to learn how to honor my feelings and communicate my hurt and loss to my counselor. I had to regain my sense of humor after crying so much. I had to journal to unpack and unravel the confusion and chaos in my mind and heart. I had to learn how to ask for help, stay in a

supportive community, and remain hopeful. I am dedicated to living in a community and not just a neighborhood. I am intentional about building a network that can serve one another, gather, have fun, and do life together.

With all that is going on in our country about oppression and privilege, we must help individuals who are struggling build healthy, supportive relationships to walk this difficult road called life together. We must build a community that serves one another, gathers, has fun, and cares. We must also do this for our children and grandchildren, building resilience so they can be victors, not victims, because life is hard and we cannot do it alone. joneen@narme.org

The Indigenous Fall

I was at a recent lunch with news friends and one younger pundit stated, “Instead of Indian Summer, it is Indigenous Summer.”

BY BOB SWEENEY That was an interesting PUBLISHER statement with so many new people arriving at our borders, legal or illegally.

The winter winds are licking the last of the golden leaves as they wave goodbye and settle back to the earth from their lofty perch high on mother nature’s gifted trees. Trees are very fruitful, think about how much of our food comes from so many different families of trees. I marvel in the springtime when all of the fruit trees blossom at the same time. Trees, after being dormant for months, all blossom at the same time period. The splendor of the fall leaves this year has been spectacular all across Arapahoe County.

In my lifetime, I’ve seen it snow on Halloween so many times, drenching the little hobgoblins trick or treating.

But the weather doesn’t dampen the enthusiasm of youngsters and adults celebrating this haunting occasion.

The election cycle is ending, many good candidates running for city council positions, school board seats, and mayoral contests. I’ve met a number of candidates this fall and have made some new friends. Looking at the overall list of candidates, I think this is one of the finest slates of candidates in recent history. Every candidate is a winner for seeking to spend their time in public service, not an easy task with many

challenges. We’re blessed in Arapahoe County to be much better off than many places. Our cities are financially strong, and the county appears to be running well.

We’ll be running the election results and working with the newly elected officials in their various roles and positions. Good government begins at the grassroot level with our local boards.

Let’s have a good new year!

FINAL ELECTION MESSAGES FROM CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE JACK COFFEY TO DISTRICT 2 VOTERS

EXPERIENCE COUNTS I have spent my career bringing people together to solve political problems and protect the communities I care about. Now I am ready to put that experience to work for Greenwood Village – standing up

Jack and Arnold Schwarzenegger

for local decision-making, thoughtful planning, and the strong, steady leadership our city deserves.

DON’T THROW YOUR VOTE AWAY Just some words of advice from the candidate who has been more active in political races than the others. Several candidates have been advising you to vote for only one candidate when you have two votes in this race. If your top choice wins and the second seat goes to someone not aligned with your views, you have only yourself to blame and you will regret keeping that vote in your pocket. Your vote is a precious commodity in our political process. Use it wisely – but use it.

And when did our civic elections become a team sport? Hopefully by now you have reviewed the experience, records and views of each of the candidates. Cast your votes for the best candidates based on your research and not on adhoc electioneering relationships.

One last point. On the ballot you will see my name is listed last of the four – just my luck they are not alphabetical. Most political pundits will tell you that the first two candidates listed are likely to win the vast majority of the undecided vote – that’s just the way it is. But, if you go down the list and vote for me, I promise to put you first.

If you do visit my website you will see from my career and experience that I can and will deliver on these principles. I hope I can count on your support when filling out your ballot.

CHV residents weigh in on possible traffic light at Belleview and Franklin

On September 25, we reported about efforts to get a new traffic light at the corner of Belleview Avenue and Franklin Street, that began in 2024 after Andie Goldberg, a longtime resident of Greenwood Village (GV), was killed crossing the street at that intersection after returning from a run. Following the testimony of her neighbors to the GV City Council, Greenwood Village staff began the technical process of determining whether a light was warranted at that intersection.

Belleview Avenue is a state highway, under the control of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). The north side of the intersection is in Cherry Hills Village (CHV). The south side of the intersection is The intersection of Belleview Avenue and Franklin Street, facing southbound, at 8:00 a.m. in Greenwood Village. A traffic on a recent Sunday morning, shows the CHV street sign in the foreground and the GV signal will only be installed with street sign in the background.

Another resident, who lives on Franklin Street, north of Belleview, said, “I’m here to echo what has been previously stated (in support of the traffic light).

I have three littles at home and when I’m turning east out of the neighborhood, my oldest often says, ‘Go! Go now!’ because she knows it’s so hard to turn. It’s so stressful and it’s something that we deal with every day. With so many young families and young drivers in the neighborhood, I feel like it’s a must. I cannot fathom letting my children turn left out of there. I’m echoing the desire for a traffic light.”

Since we reported on this topic last, on September 25, the City of Cherry Hills Village has received emails from 23 individuals on this question, who have not spoken publicly at a city council meeting. Of that total, 16 are residents of CHV, and 11 of those wrote to say they support the installation of a traffic light at Belleview Avenue and Franklin Street, while five wrote to say they do not. Six of the seven remaining emails were from Greenwood Village residents, who wanted CHV city officials to know their position on this topic.

Based on our discussions with officials there, support for the light from residents of Greenwood Village exceeds 90%.

Commercial real estate happenings in south metro Denver Englewood CityCenter to be turned into mixed-use development

Longtime Coloradans will remember Cinderella City on U.S. 285 just west of Broadway.

Once the largest covered shopping center west of the Mississippi, it opened on March 7, 1968 and was demolished 30 years later. Built in its place as an early mixed-use development was Englewood CityCenter, including City Hall, a public library, retail stores, and food establishments.

On October 6, Englewood City Council passed an ordinance

authorizing a phased transfer of title of portions of Englewood CityCenter east of Inca Street to developer New Englewood, LLC. Not included in the transfer is the Civic Center Building that houses city offices and Englewood Public Library. In return for the property deeded to the developer, the City is getting the former 24-Hour Fitness building and several other nearby properties.

The goal of the arrangement is to transform the area into cutting edge mixed-use development, with up to 1,000 new housing

units to support local businesses and increase vibrancy, more restaurants and community-focused retail, as well as a possible hotel and office space, designed with public plazas and gathering places to result in a walkable, connected community where people can live, work, and play.

New Englewood has said they intend for the residences to be a combination of for sale and for rent.

U.S. Bank site on Belleview planned to be mixed-use development

The Denver Business Journal reported last week that, “A concept plan submitted to the city of Denver suggests U.S. Bank at 8401 E. Belleview Avenue in Denver is considering developing the banking giant’s Denver Tech Center branch parking lots, turning the nearly 4-acre parcel into a mixed-use district with retail and housing buildings.”

The development of what is now an oversized parking lot would be a mixed-use district with four separate buildings. The one with the largest profile would have a seven-story residential

changed everything about the office industry.

Arrow moved across the street last year. Like most other large office-based businesses, it no longer needed as much space, post-pandemic.

Consolidated Investment Group, whose offices are on Inverness Place East in Centennial, bought the empty building in December 2024 for $12.25 million. They planned to replace the offices with apartments. After

evaluating the cost and logistics of converting the existing building compared to demolishing it and starting from scratch, they settled on the latter.

Orchard Falls building in GV declares bankruptcy

On September 19, the Orchard Falls building at 7800 E. Orchard Road in Greenwood Village, owned by affiliates of Denverbased real estate firm Toma West, filed for bankruptcy, according to a report in BusinessDen. Also on September 19, a lender for Orchard Falls asked a judge to appoint Thomas Dwyer of Transwestern Property Company, as receiver for the property.

9201 E. Dry Creek Road was torn down on September 15.

Kenneth Grant, Toma West founder and president, told Business Den that “Chapter 11 is a way of trying to come to an agreement through the justice system when the banks don’t agree. You know better than most how bad the market is and has been.” He also said that the bankruptcy filing will stop the action requesting a receiver be appointed, for now, while an agreement on how to proceed can hopefully be reached.

On October 24, 2024, we reported that Orchard Falls, and nearby office buildings in GV at 7400 E. Orchard Road and 7600 E. Orchard Road, were in foreclosure.

Greenwood Village will try out Drone First Responders

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

The City of Greenwood Village will use specialized police drones as first responders in 2026, beginning with focusing on the time and days of the week when it usually receives the highest volume of calls for service.

At its 2026 budget retreat on September 29, the city council approved a new fiveyear program to lease Drone First Responders (DFR) from BRINC, a company already providing these drones to 700 law enforcement agencies around the globe. Greenwood Village will be the first or second to use it in Colorado, according to GVPD Chief Dustin Varney.

These specialized drones, complete with lights, sirens, and a 640-pixel camera, will launch from a “nest” location, probably atop a sizable GV office building, and are predicted to arrive on-scene in 30-40 seconds.

The drones, which cost $55,000 to $75,000 to buy, are made in the U.S.A., so service is not a problem, the chief explained. They are weather resistant, ensuring reliable

Drone First Responder by BRINC

performance in any climate.

Leasing the drones, rather than buying them, includes all software updates as they become available. The contract,

which will cost the City about $100,000 per year for the first two years, can be canceled anytime if it doesn’t work out.

According to BRINC, DFRs

are “equipped with advanced sensors, cameras, payload droppers, and two-way communication,” providing “real-time situational awareness,

critical insights, and interactive capabilities before first responders arrive on scene— enhancing decision-making and improving outcomes.”
