On a crisp day this fall I drove southeast from Grand Junction, Colorado, into the Uncompahgre Valley, a rich basin of row crops and hayfields. A snow line hung

A water war is brewing over the dwindling Colorado River

like a bowl cut around the upper cliffs of the Grand Mesa, while in the valley some farmers were taking their last deliveries of water, sowing winter wheat and onions. I turned south at

the farm town of Delta onto Route 348, a shoulder-less two-lane road lined with irrigation ditches and dent corn still hanging crisp on their browned stalks. The road crossed the Uncom-

pahgre River, and it was thin, nearly dry.

The Uncompahgre Valley, stretching 34 miles from Delta through the town of Montrose, is, and always has been, an arid

place. Most of the water comes from the Gunnison River, a major tributary of the Colorado, which courses out of the peaks of the Elk Range through the cavernous and sun-starved depths

of the Black Canyon, one rocky and inaccessible valley to the east. In 1903, the federal government backed a plan hatched by Uncompahgre farmers to breach the ridge with an enormous

tunnel and then in the 1960s to build one of Colorado’s largest reservoirs above the Black Canyon called Blue Mesa. Now that tunnel feeds a neural system of water: 782 miles worth of successively smaller canals and then dirt ditches, laterals

and drains that turn 83,000 Western Colorado acres into farmland. Today, the farm association in this valley is one of the largest single users of Colorado River water outside of California.

I came to this place because the Colorado

River system is in a state of collapse. It is a collapse hastened by climate change but also a crisis of management. In 1922, the seven states in the river basin signed a compact splitting the Colorado equally between its upper and lower

halves; later, they promised additional water to Mexico, too. Near the middle, they put Lake Powell, a reserve for the northern states, and Lake Mead, a storage node for the south. Over time, as an overheating environment has collided with overuse,

the lower half — primarily Arizona and California — has taken its water as if everything were normal, straining both the logic and the legal interpretations of the compact. They have also drawn extra releases from Lake Powell, effec-

tively borrowing straight out of whatever meager reserves the Upper Basin has managed to save there. This much has become a matter of great, vitriolic

Application deadline looms for Arcadia smallbusiness grants

By Staff

Pandemic relief grants totaling $1 million are still up for grabs for small businesses in Arcadia.

Applications for a program funded through the federal American Rescue Plan Act are due by Thursday, Dec. 29.

“The Arcadia small business community has weathered the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the coming year will continue to be a critical time for many small businesses in the City,” former Mayor Tom Beck said in a statement in October after the City Council approved the grant programs. “By allocating $1 million in ARPA funding to the business grant and assistance programs, the City is making a long-term investment into the well-being of our local community and

economy.”

Arcadia’s ARPA Small Business Grant Program has received $750,000 in funding to provide grants up to $10,000 to Arcadia small businesses, according to the city. The grants can be for physical improvements to a company’s place of business, updating digital marketing and branding or other improvements focused on attracting new customers. After the Thursday deadline, city officials will review applications and award the funding based on program criteria and eligibility requirements.

The ARPA Small Business Permit Assistance Program provides $250,000 to pay as much as $5,000 to cover city planning and building fees for entrepreneurs who are opening a new business, expanding an existing business or doing

construction improvements to their current workspace, according to the city. Officials began accepting applications for this relief program on Nov. 15, but unlike the Small Business Grant Program, permit assistance applications will be accepted and approved on an ongoing basis until the funds run out.

These two current COVID relief programs, which the Arcadia Economic Development Division administers, add to $375,000 in small business grants that the city distributed in 2020 and 2021 via the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and the Community Development Block Grant program, according to the city.

The Economic Development Division can be reached at EconDev@ArcadiaCA.gov or 626-574-5409.

Feds issue warning about student debt-relief scams

that's specifically prohibited under one of the rules we enforce. And so it is really unlikely to be a legitimate company," she said.

The president's debtcancellation plan is currently on hold while the litigation continues, so it is not processing any applications. The website of the U.S. Department of Education, studentaid.gov, has a link to sign up to be notified if the program is restarted. The pause on federal student loan payments has been extended until the litigation is resolved. The best place to start for accurate information about your loans is to contact your federal loan servicer.

"It could be loan forgiveness. It could be, 'Hey, pay us X amount, and we'll get your loans forgiven right now, or we'll get some large amounts of your principal balance forgiven or canceled,' right? And that might be a benefit that the consumer doesn't actually qualify for," she said.

Scammers targeting student-loan borrowers are shifting into high gear - spurred by the uncertainty surrounding President Joseph R. Biden's

debt-cancellation plan. The Supreme Court will hear a case in late February that seeks to strike down the administration's plan to offer up to $20,000 in debt relief

to low-income student loan borrowers.

Michelle Grajales, staff attorney with the Federal Trade Commission attorney, said fraudsters are playing on

people's anxieties.

"A major red flag is any company that calls you up and asks you to pay now for help with your loans later. Because that's something

Some scams promise to reduce or zero out your monthly payment, and some target parents who have co-signed on Parent Plus loans. Grijales said the familiar adage applies: "if it

She added that other scams are circulating where they purport to be your loan servicer and ask that you route your payment through them. Other scams are intended primarily to get people to divulge their personal identity or banking information. For more tips, go to the Federal Trade Commission website.

Postcards from the college journey in CA's Central Valley

By Nick Fouriezos for Open Campus Media Broadcast version by Suzanne Potter for California News Service reporting for the Open Source Media-Public News Service Collaboration

Geography matters in how likely you are to go to college or earn a degree. In California, more than one in three residents has a bachelor's degree. But in many of the state's rural Central Valley counties, not even one in five do.

The valley, in fact, is home to four of the six counties in the state where fewer than 15 percent of adults over 25 have a four-year degree. We traveled there to talk with people about their experiences with college as part of our year-long series that focuses on telling the stories of Californians who live in parts of the state where college-going has long lagged behind. (Read the first and second set of interviews in this series.)

What really gets in the way of college dreams? What barriers are too high, what needs are more pressing? And how do others find their way? What, or who, keeps them going? Why do they persevere?

Gemini Lopez & Michael Dinkins: 'There aren't many ways to get out'

Gemini Lopez, a running back, and Michael Dinkins, a cornerback and wide receiver, are 19-year-old teammates playing football and studying business at Merced College.

Lopez: We played on the same team together at Le Grand High School, about a half hour away. It's a small community, very rural, not much to do. We've got a few other classmates who decided to go to school here, but most people went straight into working.

Dinkins: Of course, we're not happy we're in Merced. Got a few small offers to play at other JUCOs [junior colleges]. I looked at Modesto. But then I would have had to drive out there every day, like an hour each way. Or pay for student housing.

Lopez: Business is a big field, so not exactly sure what I'll do if football doesn't work out. I'm not even thinking about it right now.

Dinkins: Just focused on football. The goal is the same it's always been: Transfer to

a Division 1 school, just keep playing. I've lived here my whole life, so I'm ready to leave. I want to see the world. I want to travel.

If football doesn't work out, I'll probably do heavy machinery. Forklifts, that sort of thing. I was always interested in that. I'd need to go and get the certificate but don't need another degree or anything.

Most kids in Le Grand, their families have small businesses, so they work in agriculture, or have farms that they go and work in straight out of school.

There aren't many ways to get out. If you have money, you can. But otherwise, it's tough.

Margaret Salas: 'It felt like something I should have accomplished'

Margaret Salas, 68, works in the counseling office at Merced College and has an associate degree from Merced College and a bachelor's degree in business from California State University, Stanislaus.

My parents were migrant workers from Texas who thought high school was enough. I was an honors student, but we were very sheltered. Without that emotional support, I was afraid.

This was in the '70s, and it always bothered me, because my best friends had gone and gotten degrees.

Instead, I worked as an instructional aide in a rural school for three years. I married my husband at 24. Kept working, had two kids. And then, when my daughter was in high school, the thought about going to college just popped into my head. I was tired of working minimum wage jobs, and hoped to be able to make more. But it was also just a personal goal: It felt like something I should have accomplished right out of high school, and didn't.

I was worried about how I was going to juggle it. I worked part-time, had a family. I didn't know financial aid would be available.

I thought about how long it would take. But I ran it by a teacher, and she told me, "The years are going to go by anyway." At that point, I had been out of school for 30 years. I wondered, 'Can I really compete with these kids?' So I took one political science class to test the waters, and when I got an A, I said, "Yeah, this is it."

It took me a total of six years, and my daughter always said I was raining on her parade: When I graduated with my associate's, she was graduating high school. When I finished my bachelor's, she was graduating from Merced College with an associate's degree - she later received a B.A. in anthropology from UC Merced and is now changing her career plans, getting a second degree in networking from Fresno City College.

One regret I have is that I never really used my business degree: We had a home, my husband had a job as a custodian established here, it was hard for me to move to where the jobs were. But it was worth it, and I'm shocked how many students

think they can't go because of the finances - if you're lowincome, it's surprising how many people in California can qualify. My daughter and I graduated with no student loans.

Trinaty Ann Renee: 'It's just not for me'

Trinaty Ann Renee, 28, is a bartender in Visalia who takes classes part-time at College of the Sequoias.

In general, I think college is a scam. It costs an insane amount of money to get a degree, and then you aren't going to be able to get a job with your degree. Now you're in debt, and, nowadays, there are some entry- level jobs requiring master's degrees and graduate degrees. I think it's just another way for America to make something corporate.

I don't mean to shame anybody who decides a fouryear university is for them, it's just not for me. My sister just graduated from Los AngelesPacific University. She worked very hard for it. But it costs so much money. She had a great experience ... and she's going to be in debt her entire life.

I do love knowledge, and I love learning new things. I qualify for a shit ton of financial aid as a single mother over 25, I don't pay anything, and get paid about $8,000 extra to go. You have to be full time, and get good grades. I'm like three credits short of graduating, but I take different classes each semester, so that I don't get the degree - this next semester, I'm thinking about taking sewing.

I just don't think we live in the same day and age that we did 20 years ago. Where college was the goal: You go to college, start a family, buy a house. I can't afford a house. I just don't think we should place such importance on it. It's way too much pressure on these fucking kids.

I'm going to be a career bartender. I'm in love with the bar culture, and I am really good at it. In my last job, I specialized in prohibitionstyle cocktails. I would love to open my own bar somewhere.

Carlos Romo: 'I spent almost the whole decade inside trying to better myself' Carlos Romo, 30, earned his associate degree at the

California Correctional Center and is now remotely enrolled in a fire sciences bachelor's degree program at California State University, Los Angeles.

I was incarcerated at 18, and was released in September 2021 - and two days later, I was on the Lassen campus.

You have a lot of time to think about things, and I decided in my early 20s that getting an education would be key. I spent almost the whole decade inside trying to better myself. Participate in classes, go to college. But I just couldn't get in anywhere. It was really hard. The process was too long, or I couldn't get the textbooks, or even the Scantrons that I needed.

It wasn't until CCC that I ended up getting into a good college program. I stopped by the CCC firehouse, and could see they were pro-education. It was a whole different environment. I didn't expect to be able to go outside of the prison and respond to emergencies as an actual firefighter.

I got used to it: I was already committed anyway, and I knew I wanted to get my degree. I started the program

Monrovia disaster prep courses for residents to restart in January

By Joe Taglieri

The Monrovia Fire Department is gearing up for another round of disaster preparedness and emergency response training courses for residents.

The Community Emergency Resiliency Team and the Business Emergency Resiliency Training program provide community members and businesses with crucial, possibly life-saving skills for when disaster strikes.

CERT courses focus on readiness and knowledge to put in play when public safety is put in harm's way, while BERT tailors emergency preparedness to specific businesses with the goal of enabling local companies to continue operations after a disaster hits, officials told Monrovia Weekly.

Over three consecutive Saturdays -- with the next round of training starting Jan. 28 -- CERT participants learn emergency preparedness techniques, fire suppression and safety, disaster medical operations, light search and rescue, disaster psychology, team organization skills and how to conduct a disaster drill.

BERT curriculum takes place over six, two-hour sessions this year between Jan. 18 and Oct. 26. Participants receive instruction on

emergency response, emergency preparedness, fire safety and utility awareness, emergency operations and business continuity plans, disaster exercise planning and safety awareness as it pertains to crime and terrorism.

"BERT is more a planning kind of class, CERT is hand on skills," said Suzanne Dobson, emergency preparedness coordinator with Monrovia Fire & Rescue. "BERT is about being prepared, having a plan in place, surviving the disaster as a business.

"Hurricane Sandy is a good example, most of those businesses were wiped out," Dobson said. "How do they keep going, how do you keep going and meet your contracts after a large disaster? BERT is a mix of dealing with the immediate disaster and how you keep going after the immediate disaster."

CERT volunteers assist the community before, during and after disasters and provide crucial assistance to maxed-out first responders, according to the city's website. The program educates residents about how to prepare for hazards and teaches know-how in disaster response skills such as fire safety, search and rescue, team organization

and disaster medical operations.

"Training our business owners and community members to help supplement the fire department until mutual aid from another department can get here to help is crucial during disasters," Monrovia Fire Department Capt. Nick Board said.

When public safety agencies' resources and personnel are spread thin because of multiple emer-

gencies happening all at once, first responders "can send help but it takes time, we need help from residents," Board said.

Monrovia has 50 certified CERT members, who the fire department mobilizes during disasters and who also participate in public events and provide assistance to the community such as smoke alarm installation, Dobson said. Over 200 people have received CERT training.

BERT currently has 22 businesses currently going through the program.

"We have a robust program in Monrovia for being such a small community in Southern California," Board said. "A lot of the smaller communities look at ours for guidance."

Monrovia's CERT program started in 2007, and several volunteers from that first class are involved in the program, Dobson recalled.

"In fact, several of them are now FEMA-certified CERT instructors and volunteer their time to teach our CERT Basic class," Dobson said.

Free registration for CERT and BERT courses is available at monroviafireandrescue.eventbrite.com

"CERT and BERT are basically community risk reduction, being proactive instead of reactive," Board said. "It's about neighbors helping neighbors."

The Latino vote: Countering the ‘sleeping giant’ narrative

By Suzanne Potter, Public News Service

Groupspromoting Latino political participation are keen to get rid of the stereotype of Latino voters as a "sleeping giant," especially in light of the 2022 elections.

In the midterms, Latino voters in Nevada reelected the country's first Latina U.S. Senator, thus helping Democrats keep control of the upper chamber.

Hatzune Aguilar, director of strategic engagement for the nonprofit Communities for a New California, said

politicians need to engage continuously with the Latino community, not just bombard them with ads every couple of years.

"When they show up in the last two weeks before an election, that is a transactional relationship," Aguilar pointed out. "It's not transformational; there's not a sense that we are a part of something."

Aguilar noted many Latinos live every day with the consequences of government inaction on issues like climate change, air pollution

and clean water. She advised political parties to hire more Spanish-speaking staff and connect with the community to develop real-life solutions. California is home to 8.3 million eligible Hispanic voters, just over a quarter of the nationwide total.

Héctor Malvido, grassroots partnerships coordinator for the group Liberation in a Generation, said cities need to invest the time and money necessary to start communicating with people in their first language.

"The basic 'ask' for any body of government that is hosting public-facing forums is that they have the documents that they're presenting translated fully, at least in Spanish," Malvido explained. "But it needs to be translated into other languages, as well as being able to provide simultaneous interpretation."

More than a dozen California cities already offer Spanish translation services at their meetings, but the majority of public meetings statewide do not.

Poverty Issues, and Social Justice.

back in 2020, and ended up graduating in the fall of 2021. When you have all day just to study, you can make it happen for sure.

I'm continuing my education, and I just got accepted to CSU Los Angeles. The thing about the fire classes is that those are offered online, asynchronous. So that's perfect for me, as I can keep doing my career as a firefighter for CAL Fire here, and still continue my education.

Transitioning out of prison was a little easier because I had been going out into the community for the last two years at the firehouse. We would fight fires, go to traffic collisions, answer medical calls, you know, deal with the public. Sometimes evacuations. Being around people was great.

I used to think my parents didn't encourage much education. But as I've gotten older, I realized that they probably wanted us to pursue it, but they just never said it. They never finished college or even high school, they came to the United States when they were young. They wanted me to succeed, but just being immigrants, they didn't really know how.

As a first generation American, I have to kind of figure things out. I'm the oldest of six kids, and I have one little brother that is doing a vocational technical school, but the rest are in their 20s and started working immediately without any other education.

I work 24-hour-shifts, three times a week, I'm taking five classes right now, I hardly have any downtime to myself. I know for sure I can be a mentor someday. But, at this moment in my life, I've been away for so long. I feel like I've still got to prove myself, lead by example, and then provide some advice after they see my success.

Jeremiah Storment: 'It's about the collective experience'

Jeremiah Storment, 22, is from Kings County and initially attended West Hills College Lemoore. He is now in his second year studying music at the College of the Sequoias. This is the closest place to me that offered music. I wanted to learn theory. I had

been to college when I was 18, but I dropped out because I was just jamming with the homies.

I was getting good grades, but I just felt like it was so boring.

I just thought: "I don't want to be here."

Going back to school, it was mainly to make connections. To play music with people. I don't plan on transferring to a four-year college. Unless I come up on some money, I just don't see it happening. But I knew there was something to gain by coming.

It's about the collective experience. You meet different people you know, the days go by, and you have an experience. I'm in a jazz band here, and before I knew very little about jazz. I knew jazz musicians are "big brain," so I just threw myself in to try to get something out of it.

I play the drums. Genrewise, it's usually a mix. It's whatever I'm feeling. I need to figure out how to monetize my stuff and come up with a solid plan. There are snippets here and there of my education that feel valuable. But I'm also learning more of my own discipline. Just looking back, realizing what's lacking - usually it's deeper than just college. You can learn things from classes, but you can also just take things from being there.

Jo Cook: 'I switched majors anyway'

Jo Cook is a 19-year-old from Tulare County, studying art at the College of the Sequoias.

I was working at Target during the holidays, and I was talking to an art teacher that had come through my lane. She was buying stuff for her students, and we talked about art, and how much she loves her job. She had switched careers from something else into art, and she is so much happier, because she's finally enjoying her passion, right?

And I was like, dang, I really don't want to do nursing. And I've always liked painting. In school, I had an English project. I asked the teacher if I could paint instead of writing a report - she said yeah, and she still has it and displays it to all of her new students.

My parents really dislike the idea. My mom was an artist. She liked art in college

Postcards

too, and didn't make money with it, and that's why she switched careers - she works with the county now, and my dad works in waste management.

I don't get any financial aid because of their income. And I'm in a tough situation with them because they're holding finances over me, since I still live with them because I can't afford to live anywhere else.

For a while I was working at two jobs. Target, like 30 hours a week, plus another 30 hours waitressing. That was last semester, and I was super drained and exhausted. It really took a toll on my mental health.

I've struggled with depression, and I've been in therapy for a while. I should not have been in school. It was a lot of pressure for me, especially since I started as a nursing major because that's what my parents were telling me would be a good career to get into.

I switched majors anyway. I'm getting my associate's in art, but I'm going to transfer to get a bachelor's degree in art education. My dream is Chico State, but I'm also looking at the Fresno State satellite campus here that has a teaching credential for art. If I were to move to Chico, I would have the costs of moving and would have to also be working ... although then I could maybe qualify for aid, which would help.

Luz Gonzalez: 'It was a big no, no'

Luz Gonzalez, 29, is a Madera County native and works in sales in the Fresno region.

I am the daughter of immigrants, the youngest of five children. In Madera, there are three or four Spanish congregations. Every summer, we were sent to Bakersfield for a three-day weekend, and they would rent out this huge arena with like thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses.

There, the young adults were taught that this life is borrowed, and that it's best to live your life preaching Jehovah versus going to school, which won't take you anywhere in the long run. Get an education, and that would mean getting a career that would take you away from the meetings ... it was a big no, no.

I started homeschooling

after my dad was deported when I was 14. My mom was working seasonal jobs, and taking us to Jehovah Witness assemblies when she wasn't. When I was 18, she told me that I needed to get a job or go to school. I didn't really know how it worked, but I picked journalism as my major because I remembered my dad always turning on the news, and there would be these very likable and very charismatic women on the TV. I figured I could travel, I could write.

I loved that first year of college. For the first time, I was interacting with lots of new faces, people who thought differently than I did. In my personal life everything was very controlled and repetitive. I got to see exactly how much diversity there was. At a community college, you see all these different age groups, too. There, I learned how to be professional. My favorite class was psychology. In my faith, they didn't teach us about science, they actually condemned it.

I ended up having to move out because of my home situation: My older brother drank a lot, and kind of spiraled out of control after my dad was deported. I moved in with my boyfriend at the time, who I had been dating for three months, but I felt like I couldn't do both work and school. I just felt like, if things didn't work out between us, I needed to have money. So I stopped going, and started working two jobs.

One was in retail, first as a cashier, but they saw that I was really good at selling - I could sell people on donating to charity, signing up for credit cards. That's where I realized I had a knack for sales. Jehovah's Witnesses don't take no for an answer.

Yemíma Rodriguez: 'I was open to anything'

When we spoke to her in May, Yemíma Rodriguez, 20, was a biology major from Guatemala attending Lassen Community College who planned to transfer to either the University of California, Santa Cruz or Evangel University, in Missouri.

It's a very different culture. You don't see it until you arrive. Sometimes people would get angry at me, or I would get angry at them, and it was just

a misunderstanding. People used to say, "Yeah, that's the Mexican girl," and I corrected them. I was asked if I was a Democrat or a Republican, and I was like, "I'm a Guatemalan?"

After high school, I was open to anything, going to Europe, taking a year off to work. But while I was graduating in May 2020, the soccer coach at Lassen College reached out to me. There are a lot of international students, especially the athletes in the dorms here. We all just came together and were figuring it out.

I've been studying English since I was young, so I helped a lot of the others understand classes - not just tutoring, but translating everything. There's a local prison, where I've been helping translate at, too. A friend of mine from Spain was recently arrested, so sometimes the attorney reaches out. "I can't understand the one translator,' he says, 'can you come and help?"

I had never been to Lassen County before enrolling, but I've loved it here in Susanville: I just like going on walks, on trails, sometimes biking. There's not much to do, to be truthful, but we've found a way to have fun, play around, go to church.

I've always loved the research part of biology. My country needs a lot of help, especially with environmental issues. We have all these resources, but we don't know exactly how to take care of them, and there's a need for professionals in these areas. That's where my heart still is: I'd like to get my education here, do the research, and then go back.

Danny Malone: 'I knew I had to go to college'

Danny Malone, 19, is from Tulare County and is studying music at the College of the Sequoias.

I'm a multi-instrumentalist: I play the bass, a little bit of piano, violin, and I can drum. I've got a really good sense of rhythm.

I'm in all the ensembles we have to offer: jazz band, symphonic band, symphonic orchestra, music theater. I have a lot of different traits, and I want to use music to teach other kids how to express themselves in different ways.

Here in the Central Valley,

we're often not really given that choice. We have really good instructors and smart professors who try to work with us, but there's a gap between the music students and the professors. We get each other, but everybody has a different mentality.

It's a generational thing. There's this sense from the teachers that you're always supposed to practice, you're always supposed to be getting things done. But we're a really lax generation, I feel, and we want to indulge in a more feeling type of sense. We have a different mentality, and different relationship, different goals, with music.

The idea is that I'll graduate and have a degree, but I'm also going to cultivate a lot of experiences throughout this time.

I'd like to be a conductor and teach classical music. A lot of people dread teaching little kids. But if you can impact kids at that level, it helps to build them into musicians later on.

I've had a lot of teachers and conductors that have helped me build my sense of self. It's not just music. It's life things, too.

I'm here because I knew I had to go to college. That's just something that was always embedded in me by my parents. My dad was a labor worker in construction, he only graduated high school. My mom works in insurance and she did get a degree, but in medicine, so she never really used it.

I'm not going to say they were against me going into music, but they were definitely more excited when I said I wanted to get a doctorate in psychology instead of a doctorate in performance cello or performance jazz. I'm trying to teach guitar lessons, bass, jazz. I'm working at the mall right now. I'm going to school. It's tough, but I definitely think it's going to pay off in the long run.

The payoff. That's what a lot of people miss out on, and they don't want to vouch for college.

But a lot of people fall off, and they're just like: "It's not worth it, and I'm not worth it." And the truth is, in this society, you need it. You need an education to really profit and in order to understand how to survive in this world.

dispute. What is undeniable is that the river flows as a much-diminished version of its historical might. When the original compact gave each half the rights to 7.5 million acre-feet of water, the river is estimated to have flowed with as much as 18 million acre-feet each year. Over the 20th century, it averaged closer to 15. Over the past two decades, the flow has dropped to a little more than 12. In recent years, it has trickled at times with as little as 8.5. All the while the Lower Basin deliveries have remained roughly the same. And those reservoirs? They are fast becoming obsolete. Now the states must finally face the consequential question of which regions will make their sacrifice first. There are few places that reveal how difficult it will be to arrive at an answer than the Western Slope of Colorado.

In Montrose, I found the manager of the Uncompahgre Valley Water Users Association, Steve Pope, in his office atop the squeaky stairs of the same Foursquare that the group had built at the turn of the last century. Pope, bald, with a trimmed white beard, sat amid stacks of plat maps and paper diagrams of the canals, surrounded by LCD screens with spreadsheets marking volumes of water and their destinations. On the wall, a historic map showed the farms, wedged between the Uncompahgre River and where it joins the Gunnison in Delta, before descending to their confluence with the Colorado in Grand Junction. “I’m sorry for the mess,” he said, plowing loose papers aside.

What Pope wanted to impress upon me most despite the enormousness of the infrastructure all around the valley was that in the Upper Basin of the Colorado River system, there are no mammoth dams that can simply be opened to meter out a steady release of water. Here, only natural precipitation and temperature dictate how much is

available. Conservation isn’t a management decision, he said. It was forced upon them by the hydrological conditions of the moment. The average amount of water flowing in the system has dropped by nearly 20%. The snowpack melts and evaporates faster than it used to, and the rainfall is unpredictable. In fact, the Colorado River District, an influential water conservancy for the western part of the state, had described its negotiating position with the Lower Basin states by claiming Colorado has already conserved about 28% of its water by making do with the recent conditions brought by drought.

You get what you get, Pope tells me, and for 15 of the past 20 years, unlike the farmers in California and Arizona, the people in this valley have gotten less than what they are due.

“We don’t have that luxury of just making a phone call and having water show up,” he said, not veiling his contempt for the Lower Basin states’ reliance on lakes Mead and Powell. “We’ve not been insulated from this climate change by having a big reservoir above our heads.”

He didn’t have to point further back than the previous winter. In 2021, the rain and snow fell heavily across the Rocky Mountains and the plateau of the Grand Mesa, almost as if it were normal times. Precipitation was 80% of average — not bad in the midst of an epochal drought. But little made it into the Colorado River. Instead, soils parched by the lack of rain and rising temperatures soaked up every ounce of moisture. By the time water reached the rivers around Montrose and then the gauges above Lake Powell, the flow was less than 30% of normal.

The Upper Basin states used just 3.5 million acre-feet last year, less than half their legal right under the 1922 compact. The Lower Basin states took nearly their full amount, 7 million acre-feet.

All of this matters now not just because the

Colorado River

river, an unwieldy network of human-controlled plumbing, is approaching a threshold where it could become inoperable, but because much of the recent legal basis for the system is about to dissolve. In 2026, the Interim Guidelines the states rely on, a Drought Contingency Plan and agreements with Mexico will all expire. At the very least, this will require new agreements. It also demands a new way of thinking that matches the reality of the heating climate and the scale of human need. But before that can happen, the states will need to restore something that has become even more scarce than the water: trust.

The northern states see California and Arizona reveling in profligate use, made possible by the anachronistic rules of the compact that effectively promise them water when others have none. It’s enabled by the mechanistic controls at the Hoover Dam, which releases the same steady flow no matter how little snow falls across the Rocky Mountains. California flood-irrigates alfalfa crops destined for cattle markets in the Middle East, while Arizona takes water it does not need and pumps it underground to build up its own reserves. In 2018, an Arizona water agency admitted it was gaming the timing of its orders to avoid rations from the river (though it characterized the moves as smart use of the rules). In 2021, in a sign of the growing wariness, at least one Colorado water official alleged California was repeating the scheme. California water officials say this is a misunderstanding. Yet to this day, because California holds the most senior legal rights on the river, the state has avoided having a single gallon of reductions imposed on it.

By this spring, Lake Powell shrank to 24% of its capacity, its lowest levels since the reservoir filled in the 1960s. Cathedral-like sandstone canyons were resurrected, and sunlight

reached the silt-clogged floors for the first time in generations. The Glen Canyon Dam itself towered more than 150 feet above the waterline. The water was just a few dozen feet above the last intake pipe that feeds the hydropower generators. If it dropped much lower, the system would no longer be able to produce the power it distributes across six states. After that, it would approach the point where no water at all could flow into the Grand Canyon and further downstream. All the savings that the Upper Basin states had banked there were as good as gone.

In Western Colorado, meanwhile, people have been suffering. South of the Uncompahgre Valley, the Ute Mountain Ute tribe subsists off agriculture, but over the past 12 months it has seen its water deliveries cut by 90%; the tribe laid off half of its farmworkers. McPhee Reservoir, near the town of Cortez, has teetered on failure, and other communities in Southwestern Colorado that also depend on it have been rationed to 10% of their normal water.

Across the Upper Basin, the small reservoirs that provide the region’s only buffer against bad years are also emptying out. Flaming Gorge, on the WyomingUtah border, is the largest, and it is 68% full. The second largest, Navajo Reservoir in New Mexico, is at 50% of its capacity. Blue Mesa Reservoir, on the Gunnison, is just 34% full. Each represents savings accounts that have been slowly pilfered to supplement Lake Powell as it declines, preserving the federal government’s ability to generate power there and obscuring the scope of the losses. Last summer, facing the latest emergency at the Glen Canyon Dam, the Department of Interior ordered huge releases from Flaming Gorge, Blue Mesa and other Upper Basin reservoirs. At Blue Mesa, the water levels dropped 8 feet in a matter of days, and boaters there were given

a little more than a week to get their equipment off the water. Soon after, the reservoir’s marinas, which are vital to that part of Colorado’s summer economy, closed. They did not reopen in 2022.

As the Blue Mesa Reservoir was being emptied last fall, Steve Pope kept the Gunnison Tunnel open at its full capacity, diverting as much water as he possibly could. He says this was legal, well within his water rights and normal practice, and the state’s chief engineer agrees. Pope’s water is accounted for out of another reservoir higher in the system. But in the twin takings, it’s hard not to see the bare-knuckled competition between urgent needs. Over the past few years, as water has become scarcer and conservation more important, Uncompahgre Valley water diversions from the Gunnison River have remained steady and at times even increased. The growing season has gotten longer and the alternative sources, including the Uncompahgre River, less reliable. And Pope leans more than ever on the Gunnison to maintain his 3,500 shareholders’ supply. “Oh, we are taking it,” he told me, “and there’s still just not enough.”

On June 14, Camille Touton, the commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the Department of Interior division that runs Western water infrastructure, testified before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and delivered a stunning ultimatum: Western states had 60 days to figure out how to conserve as much as 4 million acre-feet of “additional” water from the Colorado River or the federal government would, acting unilaterally, do it for them.

The West’s system of water rights, which guarantees the greatest amount of water to the settlers who arrived in the West and claimed it first, has been a sacrosanct pillar of law and states’ rights both — and so her statement came as a shock.

Would the depart-

ment impose restrictions “without regard to river priority?” Mark Kelly,, the Democratic senator from Arizona, asked her.

“Yes,” Touton responded.

For Colorado, this was tantamount to a declaration of war. “The feds have no ability to restrict our state decree and privately owned ditches,” the general manager of the Colorado River District, Andy Mueller, told me. “They can’t go after that.” Mueller watches over much of the state.Pope faces different stakes. His system depends on the tunnel, a federal project, and his water rights are technically leased from the Bureau of Reclamation, too. Touton’s threat raised the possibility that she could shut the Uncompahgre Valley’s water off. Even if it was legal, the demands seemed fundamentally unfair to Pope.

“The first steps need to come in the Lower Basin,” he insisted.

Each state retreated to its corners, where they remain. The 60-day deadline came and went, with no commitments toward any specific reductions in water use and no consequences. The Bureau of Reclamation has since set a new deadline: Jan. 31. Touton, who has publicly said little since her testimony to Congress, declined to be interviewed for this story. In October, California finally offered a plan to surrender roughly 9% of the water it used, albeit with expensive conditions. Some Colorado officials dismissed the gesture as a non-starter. Ever since, Colorado has become more defiant, enacting policies that seem aimed at defending the water the state already has — perhaps even its right to use more.

For one, Colorado has long had to contend with the inefficiencies that come with a “use it or lose it” culture. State water law threatens to confiscate water rights that don’t get utilized, so landowners have long maximized the water

Colorado River

they put on their fields just to prove up their long-term standing in the system. This same reflexive instinct is now evident among policymakers and water managers across the state, as they seek to establish the baseline for where negotiated cuts might begin. Would cuts be imposed by the federal government based on Pope’s full allocation of water or on the lesser amount with which he’s been forced to make do? Would the proportion be adjusted down in a year with no snow? “We don’t have a starting point,” he told me. And so the higher the use now, the more affordable the conservation later.

Colorado and other Upper Basin states have also long hid behind the complexity of accurately accounting for their water among infinite tributaries and interconnected soils. The state’s ranchers like to say their water is recycled five times over, because water poured over fields in one place invariably seeps underground down to the next. In the Uncompahgre Valley, it can take months for the land at its tail to dry out after ditches that flood the head of the valley are turned off. The measure of what’s been consumed and what has transpired from plants or been absorbed by soils is frustratingly elusive. That, too, leaves the final number open to argument and interpretation.

All the while, the Upper Basin states are all attempting to store more water within their boundaries.

Colorado has at least 10 new dams and reservoirs either being built or planned. Across the Upper Basin, an additional 15 projects are being considered, including Utah’s audacious $2.4 billion plan to run a new pipeline from Lake Powell, which would allow it to transport something closer to its full legal right to Colorado River water to its growing southern cities. Some of these projects are aimed at securing existing

water and making its timing more predictable. But they are also part of the Upper Colorado River Commission’s vision to expand the Upper Basin states’ Colorado River usage to 5.4 million acre-feet a year by 2060.

It is fair to say few people in the state are trying hard to send more of their water downstream. In our conversation, Mueller would not offer any specific conservation savings Colorado might make. The state’s chief engineer and director of its Division of Water Resources, Kevin Rein, who oversees water rights, made a similar sentiment clear to the Colorado River District board last July. “There’s nothing telling me that I should encourage people to conserve,” Rein said. “It’s a public resource. It’s a property right. It’s part of our economy.”

In November, Democratic Gov. Jared Polis proposed the creation of a new state task force that would help him capture every drop of water it can before it crosses the state line. It would direct money and staff to make Colorado’s water governance more sophisticated, defensive and influential.

I called Polis’ chief water confidante, Rebecca Mitchell, who is also the director of the Colorado Water Conservation Board and the state’s representative on the Upper Colorado River Commission. If the mood was set by the idea that California was taking too much from the river, Mitchell thought that it had shifted now to a more personal grievance — they are taking from us.

Last month, Mitchell flew to California for a tour of its large irrigation districts. She stood beside a wide canal brimming with more water than ever flows through the Uncompahgre River, and the executive of the farming company beside her explained that he uses whatever he wants because he holds the highest priority rights to the water. She thought about the Ute Mountain Ute communities

and the ranchers of Cortez: “It was like: ‘Wouldn’t we love to be able to count on something? Wouldn’t we love to be feel so entitled that no matter what, we get what we get?’” she told me.

What if Touton followed through, curtailing Colorado’s water? I asked. Mitchell’s voice steadied, and then she essentially leveled a threat. “We would be very responsive. I’m not saying that in a positive way,” she said. “I think everybody that’s about to go through pain wants others to feel pain also.”

Here’s the terrible truth: There is no such thing as a return to normal on the Colorado River, or to anything that resembles the volumes of water its users are accustomed to taking from it. With each degree Celsius of warming to come, modelers estimate that the river’s flow will decrease further, by an additional 9%. At current rates of global warming, the basin is likely to sustain at least an additional 18% drop in its water supplies over the next several decades, if not far more. Pain, as Mitchell puts it, is inevitable.

The thing about 4 million acre-feet of cuts is that it’s merely the amount already gone, an adjustment that should have been made 20 years ago. Colorado’s argument makes sense on paper and perhaps through the lens of fairness. But the motivation behind the decades of delay was to protect against the very argument that is unfolding now — that the reductions should be split equally, and that they may one day be imposed against the Upper Basin’s will. It was to preserve the northern states’ inalienable birthright to growth, the promise made to them 100 years ago. At some point, though, circumstances change, and a century-old promise, unfulfilled, might no longer be worth much at all. Meanwhile, the politics of holding out are colliding with climate change in a terrifying crash, because while the parties fight,

the supply continues to dwindle.

Recently, Brad Udall, a leading and longtime analyst of the Colorado River and now a senior water and climate scientist at Colorado State University, teamed with colleagues to game out what they thought it would take to bring the river and the twin reservoirs of Mead and Powell into balance. Their findings, published in July in the journal Science, show that stability could be within reach but will require sacrifice.

If the Upper Basin states limited their claim to 4 million acre-feet, or 53% of their due under the original compact, and the Lower Basin states and Mexico increased their maximum emergency cuts by an additional 45%, the two big reservoirs will stay at roughly their current levels for the next several decades. If the basins could commit to massive reductions below even 2021 levels for the Upper Basin and to more than doubling the most ambitious conservation goals for the south, the reservoirs could once again begin to grow, providing the emergency buffer and the promise of economic stability for 40 million Americans that was originally intended. Still, by 2060, they would only be approximately 45% full.

Any of the scenarios involve cuts that would slice to the bone. Plus, there’s still the enormous challenge of how to incorporate Native tribes, which also hold huge water rights but continue to be largely left out of negotiations. What to do next? Israel provides one compelling example. After decades of fighting over the meager trickles of the Jordan River and the oversubscription of a pipeline from the Sea of Galilee, Israel went back to the drawing board on its irrigated crops. It made drip irrigation standard, built desalination plants to supply water for its industry and cities, and reused that water again and again; today, 86% of the country’s

municipal wastewater is recycled, and Israel and its farmers have an adequate supply. That would cost a lot across the scale and reach of a region like the Western United States. But to save the infrastructure and culture that produces 80% of this country’s winter vegetables and is a hub of the nation’s food system for 333 million people? It might be worth it.

A different course was charted by Australia, which recoiled against a devastating millennium drought that ended 13 years ago. It jettisoned its coveted system of water rights, breaking free of history and prior appropriation similar to the system of first-comefirst-served the American West relies on. That left it with a large pool of free water and political room to invent a new method of allocating it that better matched the needs in a modern, more populous and more urban Australia and better matched the reality of the environment.

In America, too, prior appropriation, as legally and culturally revered as it is, may have become more cumbersome and obstructive than it needs to be. Western water rights, according to Newsha Ajami, a leading expert at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the former director of the urban water policy program at Stanford University, were set up by people measuring with sticks and buckets, long before anyone had ever even considered climate change. Today, they largely serve powerful legacy interests and, because they must be used to be maintained, tend to dissuade conservation. “It’s kind of very archaic,” she said. “The water rights system would be the first thing I would just dismantle or revisit in a very different way.”

This is probably not going to happen, Ajami said. “It could be seen as political suicide.” But that doesn’t make it the wrong solution. In fact, what’s best for the Colorado, for the Western United States, for

the whole country might be a combination of what Israel and Australia mapped out. Deploy the full extent of the technology that is available to eliminate waste and maximize efficiency. Prioritize which crops and uses are “beneficial” in a way that attaches the true value of the resource to the societal benefit produced from using it. Grow California and Arizona’s crops in the wintertime but not in the summer heat. And rewrite the system of water allocation as equitably as possible so that it ensures the modern population of the West has the resources it needs while the nation’s growers produce what they can.

What would that look like in Colorado? It might turn the system upside down. Lawsuits could fly. The biggest, wealthiest ranches with the oldest water rights stand to lose a lot. The Lower and Upper Basin states, though, could all divide the water in the river proportionately, each taking a percentage of what flowed. The users would, if not benefit, at least equally and predictably share the misery. Pope’s irrigation district and the smallholder farmers who depend on it would likely get something closer to what they need and, combined with new irrigation equipment subsidized by the government, could produce what they want. It wouldn’t be pretty. But something there would survive.

The alternative is worse. The water goes away or gets bought up or both. The land of Western Colorado dries up, and the economies around it shrivel. Montrose, with little left to offer, boards up its windows, consolidates its schools as people move away, and the few who remain have less. Until one day, there is nothing left at all.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024

Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Temple City will consider the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024 at their meeting of January 17, 2023, at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers of the City Hall, located at 5938 Kauffman Avenue, Temple City.

CDBG Funds must be used to achieve the stated national objectives of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program. Specifically, the Federal-Government funds must be used to eliminate slum and blight conditions, assist low and moderate-income households, address “spot blight”, emergency purposes, or meet the needs of special population groups like individuals that are disabled.

The City of Temple City is anticipated to have an allocation of $230,079 and an additional $112,768 of unallocated prior years’ funds available for FY 2023-2024, for a total of $342,847. The City’s approved CDBG projects and accompanying budget will be submitted to the County of Los Angeles Community Development Authority (LACDA) for inclusion in its application to HUD. The City Council will consider the following CDBG programs and budgets listed below:

Housing Rehabilitation Program – This ongoing program offers deferred loans (maximum $35,000) to below moderate-income homeowners to make necessary major home repairs and/or correct Building and Zoning Code violations. The program also includes grants to assist income-eligible households with necessary and essential home repairs (maximum $10,000). The program is geared towards smaller repairs to help improve the quality of life, such as: roof repairs or replacement, window replacement, painting, stucco, electrical, and plumbing repairs or replacement. Recommended budget $250,000.

Lead and Asbestos Testing and Removal Program – This ongoing program offers grants to home improvement loan and handyworker grant participants whose homes have tested positive for asbestos and/or lead-based paint. The grant is used to mitigate or abate hazardous conditions in conjunction with the loan and grant programs; such abatement is required since federal funds are being utilized. Recommended budget $47,847.

Youth Scholarship Program – This is an ongoing program enabling Temple City youth under the age of 18 to participate in various Citysponsored recreation activities. The scholarship amount covers a portion of the recreation activity fee for members of eligible households. Recommended budget: $45,000.

Any interested persons wishing to provide input on housing and community development as it relates to the use of the 2023-2024 CDBG funds may contact the Community Development Department at City Hall by phone (626) 285-2171. Written comments may also be submitted to: City of Temple City Community Development Department, 9701 Las Tunas Drive, Temple City, CA 91780. Comments will be received through January 17, 2023.

PROJECT: Proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and Budget Plan

DESCRIPTION: The City of San Gabriel City Council will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, January 17, 2023. The purpose of the hearing is to consider the proposed FY 2023-2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and Budget Plan.:

I. The Los Angeles County Development Authority has informed the City of San Gabriel that the preliminary federal CDBG funding allocation estimate for the 2023-2024 fiscal year is not to exceed $323,025, this includes an anticipated 2% decrease from the current year’s allocation amount. These funds may be used for a broad range of activities that advance community development goals of providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income persons. For the upcoming fiscal year, Code Enforcement, Graffiti Control Program and the Youth Services Programs from the previous year are recommended for continuation in addition to a street improvement project consisting of several streets within the CDBG eligible service area.

Striking UC workers ratify new contracts with university system

By City News Service

The unions representing striking University of California graduate student workers and researchers have reached final agreement on new contracts -- ending a 40-day walkout by some 48,000 workers with what the unions called "historic gains," while making the workers "among the best supported in public higher education in the country," according to the UC.

Voting by members of the United Auto Workers began earlier this week, and results were announced Friday night after a tentative agreement had been announced last Friday.

The final results came in separate votes by UAW 2865 and Student Researchers United-UAW. The vote for UAW 2865 was 11,386 to 7,097, while the vote for SRU-UAW was 10,057 to 4,640, the unions said.

The new contracts go into effect immediately and will be in place through May 31, 2025.

"The agreements make historic gains in compensation, childcare subsidies and paid leaves, and include groundbreaking new protections against bullying and discrimination," the unions said in a statement.

According to Rafael Jaime, president of UAW 2865, "The dramatic improvements to our salaries and working conditions are the result of tens of thousands of workers striking together in unity."

"These agreements redefine what is possible in terms of how universities support their workers, who are the backbone of their research and education enterprise," Jaime added. "They include especially significant improvements for parents and marginalized workers, and will improve the quality of life for every single academic employee at the University of California."

Added Tarini Hardikar, a member of the SRU-UAW Bargaining Team at UC Berkeley: "For the first time ever, student researchers now have legal contractual protec-

tions at UC."

"The rights we secured today will help ensure that victims of harassment and discrimination aren't forced off their career paths, will make UC more family-friendly, and take important steps towards paying us what we are worth," Hardikar said. "It will help ensure that UC can support a diverse workforce, which will improve the quality of research and teaching across the system."

About 48,000 workers, including 17,000 student researchers, at UCLA, UC Irvine, the eight other University of California campuses and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, went on strike in mid-November, seeking higher salaries and greater annual raises, free public transit passes, improved child care benefits and greater job security.

A UC statement Friday night said the university "welcomes the ratification of these agreements with our valued graduate student employees."

"The university believed that the assistance of a thirdparty mediator would help the parties reach agreement, which is why we are so grateful that the union accepted our invitation to mediation and partnered with us in selecting Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg to serve as the mediator," said Letitia Silas, executive director of UC's systemwide labor relations.

"As a result of this collaboration, the parties were ultimately able to reach tentative agreements on the contracts as a whole in just a few days following months of negotiations. The University of California has negotiated several fair labor agreements over the last year with our represented employees.

"Today's ratification demonstrates yet again the university's strong commitment to providing every one of our hardworking employees with competitive compensation and benefit packages that honor their many contributions to our institution, to our

community, and to the state of California."

The strike was the nation's largest since 2019, the largest at any academic institution, and first by postdoctoral scholars and academic researchers, according to the union.

According to the unions, terms of the 2 1/2-year contracts guarantee that wages will rise significantly for all workers -- including up to 80% for some of the lowest paid.

"Other improvements in childcare and dependent coverage mean that more parents will be able to provide health care for their children," the unions said.

"First-of-their kind antibullying measures will allow workers to finally address the systemic power imbalance in academia. And three years of remission of NonResident Student Tuition are now codified, meaning that international workers will be able to enforce this right and UC will not be able to take it away."

Said UAW President Ray Curry, "This is a tremendous victory for not only the members of UAW Local 2865 and SRU-UAW but for all academic workers. The entire UAW family celebrates this victory with them."

According to the UC, the deal would set minimum pay for graduate student research-

ers at $34,564.50 for 50% time work by Oct. 1, 2024. The minimum nine-month salary for teaching assistants would be $34,000 for 50% time work by Oct. 1, 2024, although the rate will be $36,500 at UC Berkeley, UC San Francisco and UCLA.

"This is a positive step forward for the university and for our students, and I am grateful for the progress we have made together," UC President Michael Drake said in a statement last week.

"Our Academic Student Employees and Graduate Student Researchers are central to our academic enterprise and make incredible contributions to the university's mission of research and education. These agreements will place our graduate student employees among the best supported in public higher education."

Postdoctoral scholars and academic researchers each overwhelmingly ratified their new contracts in voting that concluded Dec. 9.

The final count was 89.4% of postdoctoral scholars and 79.5% of academic researchers voting in favor of ratification, the union announced.

The groups reached tentative labor deals with the university Nov. 29 but continued striking in solidarity with the other workers while those negotiations continued.

Monrovia Old Town report: Move over Boardwalk & Park Place

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

As most of you know, our beloved City Historian and Treasurer Steve Baker passed away last April. Although his “positions” have been filled, his passing leaves an utterly irreplaceable void within our community. Steve’s love and knowledge of California history, genealogy and authentic architecture made him the consummate chronicler of our city’s history. It certainly didn’t hurt that he lived in one of Monrovia’s first homes, The Arthur House, built by his great-great-grandfather in 1887. The Blair House, which was originally built on Ivy and Olive Ave. was moved to 319 W. Duarte Rd. in 1927.

Steve Baker purchased The Blair House in 1992, and true to fashion or in this case, historic accuracy, he moved the house in a two-day trek to 508 S. Olive Ave., next door to The Arthur House.

It’s no surprise that many

offers were placed on the two properties, upon the passing of Steve Baker. I’m sure there were quite a few developers with dollar signs in their eyes. You can call it good timing or luck, but I call it divine intervention because Joshua Cain, of Saxony Design Build in Monrovia, reached out to Steve’s sister, Susan, and shared his thoughts on turning the two properties into a bed and breakfast.

Susan revealed that turning the historic homes into a hotel had been a long-term goal of Steve’s. With what I can only imagine as guidance from a very special angel, Susan overlooked the many and some of them higher offers and sold the properties to Saxony Design Build, headed by Jeff Godbold and Joshua Cain.

If you’re not familiar with Saxony, their design portfolio is nothing short of stunning. While their résumé boasts projects

ranging from modest homes to large hotels and elegant country clubs, they are very passionate about architectural authenticity. It is no surprise that Joshua and Steve Baker became fast friends. The two met when Joshua was renovating the Tillapaugh House, and their

friendship grew from there. Steve was a frequent visitor when Joshua bought and restored a lovely historic Queen Anne Victorian that was built in 1887 and was originally owned by Captain Johnson, a very prominent citizen and former Mayor of Monrovia. Captain Johnson

was also one of the first orange growers in Monrovia.

The restoration and renovation of The Arthur and Blair Houses are already underway. While still in the permitting process, Saxony hopes to break ground in April 2023. There will be an addition added to the back of The Blair House to mimic The Arthur House. The bed and breakfast will have 11 suites in total and will also have a pool built on the property as well as a café. Steve’s family donated the contents of the houses, photos and memorabilia which will proudly be displayed. Since the houses are not ADA accessible, one of the structures on the property will be converted to a 2-suite cottage that will be completely ADA accessible. The bed and breakfast will be available to individuals that prefer an alternative to a hotel stay, as well as groups and events, such as weddings and company team-building

getaways. I’m sure this B&B will also serve as a favorite location for filming. In keeping with the spirit of Steve Baker, they also hope to incorporate some walking tours around Monrovia.

I haven’t been this excited about a project in Monrovia for some time. Ok, I’m a little bit excited about In-N-Out, but this B&B is not even in the same ballpark. It is so much cooler. I love how everything came together like it was meant to be. I love the vision of Joshua and the friendship he shared with Steve. I love that Susan knew what her brother’s wishes were and that she loved him so much that she brought his dreams to fruition. I know that Saxony Design Build is going to make Monrovia very proud with this project. I know that Steve Baker, our very own Mr. Monopoly, will watch every step they take and smile with appreciation and approval.

Getting in shape physically and mentally shouldn’t be a punishment. It’s an amazing, empowering lifestyle decision that anyone can make. I believe in finding the pleasurable side of wellness; and while there may be a sore muscle or two along the way, the benefits of health and wellness are worth the journey.
