Sentinel Colorado · Ward, CO
AURORA | Former Aurora Mayor Bob LeGare announced today he will seek the Ward VI seat on the Aurora City Council in next year’s city council election. LeGare said he sees a city facing myriad issues that can benefit from his longtime experience and willingness to work collaboratively with fellow lawmakers. “Experience taught me that council members can disagree strongly and still treat one another, and the public, with respect. Ward VI deserves a representative who can get to work on day one,” LeGare said in a statement. “Aurora deserves a council that uses all the experience available to it. That’s what I hope to contribute.” Current Ward VI Councilmember Francoise Bergan is term limited. The city council election is next November, and so far, the only other official announcement has come from Omar Montgomery, who has announced in the race for Aurora mayor.

Nearby: Boulder, COBy Emily Bernard Boulder Weekly There are eight stairs between Jen Livovich and the street. She knows them the way you know the height of a fall. In late March, she broke her upper left femur and shattered part of the bone. Four months in a wheelchair transformed those stairs from an inconvenience into a border. Her second-floor apartment became a place she could occupy but not easily leave. Property managers did what they could. Grab bars appeared in the bathroom. A temporary ramp bridged the raised threshold at her front door. The adjustments helped. The stairs remained. Livovich holds a federal Housing Choice Voucher, commonly known as Section 8, one of the most valuable forms of housing assistance available in the country. The subsidy can follow her across county lines and state borders. It can stay with her for as long as she continues to qualify. By almost any measure, she has what thousands of people are waiting for. She is still stuck. Not because she lost the voucher.

Nearby: Estes Park, COBy R Eric Thomas | [email protected] | Tribune Content AgencyPUBLISHED: November 12, 2026 at 1:46 AM MST Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...Dear Eric: I am the mother of a beautiful four-year-old girl. On seven separate occasions strangers have asked me if I am her grandmother. I struggled with fertility issues for many years, and finally resorted to IVF, which took another few years to be successful. So, my husband and I had our first (and only) child a bit later than average. However, we live in an area where, culturally, people are having babies later, so we didn’t think much of it. The people around our age, or younger, have no issue with our age, and have never said anything. But it’s people in my mother’s generation that become prying and inquire if I’m my daughter’s grandma. I always feel shocked, embarrassed and a little sad when this question/comment broadsides me.

Nearby: Estes Park, COIn September, members of the HCN staff and board gathered in Estes Park, Colorado, to reconnect and reset after another year of hard work. The aspen leaves were going gold on the hillsides, elk lumbered about the grounds, and there was even a dusting of snow up high one morning. The gathering started with the board’s fall business meeting, where we heard from the management team about our 2027 budget. We’re projecting a spending increase from roughly $4.3 million this year to a little over $4.4 million next. The most significant bumps will come in payroll, taxes and benefits, which make up 58% of our expenses for the year, and the budget for freelance writers and photographers, which constitutes another 14% of our annual spending. We’ll pay for all of this with a combination of donations, grants and “earned revenue,” including subscriptions and ad sales. Mia Axon, our acting director of philanthropy, noted that HCN’s financial strength springs from the generosity of our readers.
