Schools moving to remote learning COVID-19 cases rising, prompting decision to make switch after Thanksgiving break

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With COVID-19 cases mounting, the Douglas County School District has decided to switch entirely to remote learning after Thanksgiving break.

“We want our families to know that our teachers and staff very much wanted to continue with in-person learning,” states a Nov. 12 letter addressed to families and staff signed by interim Suprintendent Corey Wise. “Making the Wise decision to transition to remote learning, yet again, has been absolutely heartbreaking.”

The district cited surges in COVID-19 cases and quarantines for their reasoning for switching to remote learning, adding that the situation makes staffing shortages impossible to overcome. As of Nov. 13, there had been 540 positive cases in the district since the start of the pandemic in March, according to a data dashboard from the district.

Bill Colgin Sr. is getting tired of staying home all the time.

The 81-year-old U.S. Army veteran from Wyoming, now living in Castle Rock, loves people. Always willing to lend a story to a stranger, Colgin looks forward to being able to share a beer among friends again.

Colgin spent Veterans Day, Nov. 11, at his home near Metzler Ranch,

surrounded by photos of his children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, friends — his greatest trophies from more than eight decades of life.

Colgin simply listened to a playing of the national anthem. In the middle of a pandemic, with a disease particularly dangerous for older populations, it was the only way he could celebrate.

“Can you believe that?” Colgin said and chuckled. “I’ve just been so patriotic my whole life.”

State again tightens county’s COVID-19 restrictions County now at level that is one step from a stay-at-home order

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County has been moved into “Level Orange” on the state’s dial framework, which is just one step away from “Stay At Home,” or the restriction level put in place by the governor in the spring shortly after the pandemic hit Colorado.

“Level Orange” means greater restrictions, including smaller capacities for gyms, restaurants, events, places of worship and noncritical office spaces. The new restrictions went into effect Nov. 13.

The decision was made by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment due to a large spike in case numbers and incidence rates in the county.

In a statement, a CDPHE spokesperson asked for help from the community in stopping the spread of the virus.

“We are at a pivotal juncture,” according to the email. “Regardless of any public health order, we need everyone to step up and fully participate in mitigation tactics — like wearing a mask, distancing a minimum of six feet from others and not interacting

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ‘YELLOW’ AND ‘ORANGE’

The following are some differences between “Level Yellow” and “Level Orange,” which the county was placed on effective Nov. 13: • Places of worship and life rites can now have 25% capacity or 50 people for seated events, instead of 50% or 100 people.

• Restaurants can now have 25% capacity or 50 people for indoor seating, instead of 50% capacity or 50 people • Noncritical offices and retail stores can now have 25% capacity instead of 50%.

• Gyms can now have 25% capacity or 25 people, instead of 50 people.

• Group sports and camps can now only have virtual events or outdoor events with fewer than 10 people.

• Indoor seated events can have 25% capacity or 50 people, instead of 50% or 100 people.

• Outdoor seated events can have 25% capacity or 75 people, instead of 50% or 175 people.

More details on the differences between the levels are available at tinyurl.com/SaferAtHomeLevels with other households—if we are to suppress the spread of COVID-19 in advance of the holiday season.”

Under “Level Orange,” gyms limitations went from 25% capacity or 50 people to 25% or 25 people. Restaurants went from 50% capacity or 50 people to 25% capacity or up to 50

people. Offices of noncritical businesses are now limited to 25% capacity instead of 50%.

The state moved the county to “Level Yellow” on Oct. 29. At that time, the county’s incidence rate was 235.5 cases per 100,000 residents, according to a letter from CDPHE to Douglas County. As of Nov. 13, the county’s incidence rate was up to 625 cases per 100,000 people.

Hospitalizations and deaths are also on the rise, according to data from TriCounty Health Department. As of Nov. 13, five Douglas County residents had died of COVID-19 this month.

“Given the increase in incidence rates in Douglas County and across the State, we have decided that the implementation of COVID-19 Dial Level Orange restrictions is suitable at this time,” according to the Nov. 10 letter, signed by Jill Ryan, executive director of CDPHE. In a news release, the Douglas County board of commissioners said they will continue to partner with Tri-County Health Department, municipalities, the business community and large special districts to “advocate aggressively for the behaviors that reduce COVID-19 transmission.”

County formally rescinds notice to withdraw from Tri-County Douglas County will stay with the agency until at least the end of 2022

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a letter sent to an attorney representing the Tri-County Health Department, Douglas County on Nov. 10 formally rescinded its notice to withdraw from the agency.

Douglas County commissioners voted to leave the agency on July 9, one day after the department’s board of health voted to impose a mask mandate on the county. The letter gave a one-year notice until the county would no longer receive services from the

department.

Now, the county will remain with the agency until at least Dec. 31, 2022, according to the Nov. 10 letter, signed by the county’s attorney.

The county and the health department have been in negotiations about how to remain together since a few weeks after the commissioners announced their decision to leave, said Dr. John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County.

Douglas said his staff is pleased to have come to an agreement with the commissioners and added that he thinks they ended up in “in a pretty good place.”

“It was, frankly, quite a big distraction,” he said. “We were having to spend a lot of time to see if we could prevent this divorce in the middle of a pandemic.”

The commissioners’ decision to rescind comes after Tri-County’s Board of Health voted to enact a new policy regarding implementation of countywide health orders on Nov. 6.

The new policy allows elected officials to have more power in public health decisions. For future countywide decisions, elected officials will be consulted before they are put in place, will be given the opportunity to opt out of any order, and if an emergency order is put in place, they will be consulted as soon as possible.

In a joint statement released through a spokesperson, county commissioners thanked Douglas and the department for their work in finding a solution.

“This new approach to issuing public health orders addresses our primary concerns – increased local

control, collaboration, and communication with our public health department as part of the process,” according to the statement.

In July, commissioners said they planned to develop their own health department as a replacement to TriCounty.

“Effective immediately, our board directed staff to begin the work of creating a separate public health department that will appropriately meet the needs of Douglas County,” Roger Partridge, county commissioner, said in a news release at the time.

However, no formal decisions were ever made regarding formation of a new health department.

Commissioners directed county attorney Lance Ingalls to send the letter rescinding the withdrawal in a Nov. 10 work session.

Metro counties likely headed for stay-at-home orders, health chief says Tri-County Health director hopes governor’s clout will yield public buy-in for orders

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With most of the Denver metro area operating one step short of a stay-at-home order in the system of Colorado’s coronavirus-related restrictions, a local public health chief says it’s likely only a matter of time before the type of lockdowns seen this spring return.

Denver, Adams, Arapahoe, Jefferson, Elbert and Broomfield counties were in safer-at-home level orange, one step below a stay-at-home, as of Nov. 11. Douglas County was set to

move to safer-at-home level orange on Nov. 13, according to the state’s COVID-19 website. The levels of restrictions affect capacity levels at restaurants, places of worship, businesses, events and other settings.

The safer-at-home policy is the set of rules that came after the statewide stay-at-home order this spring and allowed numerous types of businesses to reopen.

In mid-September, Colorado broke the safer-at-home policy into three levels that counties are placed under based on the severity of local COVID-19 spread. The state recently switched to color identifiers — levels blue, yellow and orange rather than 1, 2 and 3 — to avoid confusion.

Red is a stay-at-home order.

“Most counties in the orange level actually have case rates that are way above the threshold for being

classified in the red level, and unless we can reduce rates by our residents dramatically limiting their personal get-togethers, I’m afraid that many or most of these counties will end up in a stay-at-home status,” said John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, the local health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

Douglas was one of several publichealth agency directors who signed a Nov. 5 letter to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, urging the state to speed up the process of moving counties to tighter restrictions.

At least some counties in the past couple months have not been moved to a stricter level as soon as local data on the virus’ spread exceed the standards for remaining in a cur-

rent level. For example, Arapahoe County exceeded the threshold for safer-at-home level 1, now known as level blue, on Sept. 18, but it did not move to safer-at-home level 2, now known as level yellow, until Oct. 28.

The state has generally allowed counties time to attempt to reverse their trends before being forced to move to a stricter level.

“We are concerned that with the steep acceleration of cases and hospitalizations, these delays will reduce the value of the additional restrictions provided in the higher level, essentially rendering them `too little, too late,’ ” the letter says.

The letter includes signatures from health agency leaders from Denver, Jefferson, Broomfield, Boulder, Lincoln, Prowers and Kiowa SEE ORDERS, P10

18th Judicial District Attorney race headed for recount Final tally from state shows Kellner at 50.1%, Padden at 49.9%

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The race to lead the 18th Judicial District is headed to an automatic recount, according to the final results posted by the Colorado Secretary of State the evening of Nov. 13.

The final tally shows Republican Kellner John Kellner with 50.1% of the vote and Democrat Amy Padden with 49.9% in the race to be the next district attorney.

By law, a recount is held if the difference between their votes was less than or equal Padden to one-half of 1% of the leader’s vote count, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, which oversees elections.

The margin of 1,418 votes is within the 0.5% threshold necessary for an automatic recount.

Padden held a slim lead on Election Night, Nov. 3, but as counting continued in the following days, Kellner emerged with a slight advantage on Nov. 5.

Nov. 13 was the deadline for all county ballot tabulations. The secretary of state has until Nov. 30 to compile ballot returns and appropriate recounts, according to its 2020 election calendar.

The 18th Judicial District comprises Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties and is Colorado’s most populous district. The 2020 winner will replace term-limited Republican George Brauchler and will assume office in January.

At the county level, Kellner held strong leads in three of the district’s counties: Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln. Meanwhile, Padden garnered a high percentage of votes in Arapahoe County.

Kellner, of Greenwood Village, is currently a prosecutor for the 18th Judicial District. Kellner specializes in cold cases and homicides and helped found the district’s cold case unit. Kellner also served in prosecutorial roles while on active duty in the Marine Corps.

Padden, of Aurora, has been an attorney for almost 26 years. Padden started in private practice and later served as a prosecutor at the SEE RECOUNT, P10

Where to get a free COVID-19 test Insurance not necessary at roughly 50 sites throughout state

Other Denver metro testing locations

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Eight months into the COVID-19 pandemic’s detected spread through Colorado — and with Denver metro-area counties seeing cases rise to levels that may trigger local stay-at-home orders — the need for COVID-19 tests remains high, and options abound for where Coloradans can access testing.

In March, there was confusion over the actual cost of a test. “Testing is free,” a March 10 state news release said.

The cost of medical visits related to getting tested was a different story.

Because of federal legislation later that month, people with any kind of private health insurance should have free access to the COVID-19 test — along with any doctor visits associated with getting the test, according to the Colorado Division of Insurance.

But some health insurance offered

by Americans’ employers — known as self-funded or self-insured health plans — have refused to pay for COVID-19 tests at all or have required that consumers pay some costs, according to a letter from congressional Democrats to federal officials in July.

Coloradans can avoid all the uncertainty surrounding costs by accessing testing at one of roughly 50 state-supported “community testing” locations,

where testing is free, health insurance is not necessary and doctor’s notes are not needed. The state generally pro-

vides testing supplies or other support to those locations.

Here are the details on where and

when — and what Coloradans need to do — to get tested at those sites.

Some locations new, some closed Since summer, the list of the major state-supported testing sites has changed — some locations have closed and some new ones have opened.

The test site at Water World at 8801 N. Pecos St. in Federal Heights continues to operate. The state operates the Water World site in partnership with Adams County through a contract with MAKO Medical, a health-care laboratory.

That’s one of the state’s roughly 50 “community testing” sites, according to the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. A spokesperson for the center said it could not immediately provide a list of all of the sites.

The state recently updated its online map of test sites again — now at covidtest.colorado.gov/map — but the free state-supported sites are mixed in with what appear to be private locations that charge for testing. Coloradans should call ahead of time at the phone number listed alongside the map if visiting such locations.

Here’s information on hours and registration for the Water World site and other free testing locations that were open as of Nov. 13.

Two schools switch REMOTE to remote learning amid COVID-19 surges

CASES ON THE RISE

FROM PAGE 1

Douglas County and Legend high schools made the move Nov. 10

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Just a few days before the district announced that all schools would be switching to remote learning following Thanksgiving break, two county high schools announced they would make that change immediately, according to letters sent to families and staff Nov. 9.

Douglas County High School in Castle Rock and Legend High School in Parker both halted in-person learning and began virtual classes on Nov. 10 “Due to the lack of essential staff, we have made the decision to transition all learning at LHS to virtual learning beginning on Tuesday, November 10,” according to the letter sent to Legend families and staff.

The letter regarding Douglas County High School cited a lack of available substitute teachers as the reason for shutting down in-person classes there.

Both letters reference a “number of people” at the schools who have tested positive for the virus and state that these cases have caused quarantines for “a large number of staff members, in addition to many of our students.”

“Providing the high-quality educational experience the Douglas County School District is known for is difficult with so many (DCHS/LHS) staff members in quarantine,” according to the letters.

“DCSD currently has nearly 5,000 students and staff members in quarantine and 13 schools in remote learning status, and it appears those numbers will continue to rise in the coming days,” the letter states.

One day after the letter came out, the district’s dashboard showed nearly 6,000 students and staff in quarantine.

The last day of in-person learning was scheduled to be Nov. 18 for some students and Nov. 19 for others, depending on a student’s grade level and cohort schedule.

Remote learning is scheduled to begin Nov. 30.

Kallie Leyba, president of the local teachers union, the Douglas County Federation, said in an emailed statement that teachers are disappointed that it has come to this but that they support the decision given the case numbers, quarantines and staff shortages.

“We hope that we can return to the school buildings in January and finish the year face-to-face,” Leyba said. “There are many ways the community can support this, including limiting social gatherings, getting take-out instead of eating in a restaurant, wearing masks and practicing social distancing.”

The district will continue to monitor the situation as officials work to make decisions about the second semester, set to begin Jan. 5 for students, according to the letter.

Daily COVID-19 cases within the school district have been on the rise this month, according to data from the district. Confirmed cases per day are as follows: Nov. 1: 9 Nov. 2: 13 Nov. 3: 11 Nov. 4: 25 Nov. 5: 17 Nov. 6: 21 Nov. 7: 22 Nov. 8: 26 Nov. 9: 23 Nov. 10: 25 Nov. 11: 13 Nov. 12: 22 Leyba and Wise have both put out a call for any community members who can help out in the schools. The district has a shortage of substitute teachers, nurses and staff to deep clean buildings overnight, Leyba said.

DCSD’s announcement comes on the heels of the news that the county’s COVID-19 restrictions have been tightened to one step from a stay-at-home order. Neighboring school districts, including those in Jefferson County and Littleton, announced similar transitions to remote learning on Nov. 12.

At a school board meeting Nov. 10, DCSD board members agreed with a recommendation from Wise to make the switch to remote learning.

At one point last week, the school district had its lowest-ever fill rate for subsitutes, with 77 teacher positions left unfilled that day, according to a district

presentation at the meeting.

“You can’t have school without teachers,” Wise said.

While schools are seeing more positive COVID-19 cases, investigations have shown that the vast majority of those infections are not occurring in school, he said.

In most situations, teachers and students are becoming infected outside of school.

“If the transmission is not happening within school… then maybe we need to take a really hard look at when you have homecoming parties and Halloween parties… there are consequences,” school board Director Elizabeth Hanson said at the Nov. 10 meeting.

“If our community is not willing to have some hard conversations about what we’re willing to sacrifice to keep our kids in schools, then we don’t have a choice (other) than move to remote.”

COVID-19 infections cause many disruptions, as anyone who had close contact with a person with the virus must quarantine for 14 days.

Wise said that during this time period away from in-person learning, the district will focus on mental health of students.

“We know it is better for our students to be in school, in-person, with their peers, and amazing educators. However, the high number of cases and quarantines is creating an environment where many of our students and teachers no longer have a predictable school routine,” according to the Nov. 12 letter. “This lack of predictability is stressful, and unfair to our students, staff, and families.”

VETERAN FROM PAGE 1

Nov. 7 due to public health protocols.

The annual breakfast at the Castle Rock Fraternal Order of Eagles veterans headquarters downtown was canceled as well.

Colgin served in active duty from 1961-63, a U.S. Army mortar specialist during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Colgin married his high school sweetheart, JoAnn, on Nov. 25, 1961. At 22, with one semester at Casper College under his belt, he didn’t want anything to do with the military. One month later, Colgin received a draft notice. In 1961, the Soviet Union had just erected the Berlin Wall. The Army drafted 118,000 men in 1961, according to the Selective Service System website.

When called to serve, Colgin said, he never thought twice.

Colgin’s proudest moment in service came during America’s most existential one. Colgin was shipped to Florida in October 1962, stationed on a ship off the coast between the U.S. and Cuba.

Planes flew overhead 24 hours a day.

Colgin was a mortar specialist. He recalled sending mortar rounds, dozens a minute, one after the other toward enemy ships. His photo ended up on the front page of the Army Times.

“I was proud to be there,” Colgin said. “I was proud to be doing something for the country.”

Colgin said he wasn’t scared for one moment.

“I was 22 and tougher than a boot,” Colgin said. “Ready to fight.”

In the middle of an interview Nov. 12, Colgin paused and stared in the distance for a moment. Several seconds passed. He grinned. He remembered the sound of planes

Former U.S. Army Spc. 4 Bill Colgin Sr. of Wyoming, in 1961. Colgin, now residing in Castle Rock, was a mortar specialist during the Cuban Missile Crisis, a moment he said was the proudest of his time in active service.

“Those were probably my proudest moments,” he said.

Colgin has two sons, Bill Jr. and Mark, and seven grandchildren. His wife, JoAnn, died in 2017 at 76. They were married 55 years. He misses her every day.

Colgin’s grandson, Alex, from Castle Rock, now serves in the U.S. Air Force. Alex is stationed currently in Del Rio, Texas.

“I tell him many, many times, ‘Alex, I’m so proud of you,’” Colgin said. “I told him, when he left, I said, ‘Be a good airman.’”

When he was drafted in 1961, Colgin told himself the same thing — just be a good soldier.

“I was,” Colgin said, “and he is.”

Always willing to lend a story to anyone lucky enough to listen, 81-year-old Bill Colgin remembers his days serving in the U.S. Army and the buddies he served with. Colgin told a story of one fellow he served with who a few years ago, just to be “ornery,” paid for a $22,000 car in quarters — boxes, containers and buckets of quarters. Some people never change, Colgin said. “Some people never do.”

“Paradoxically, the ultimate outcome of these delays could be a greater likelihood of moving to the stay-at-home level that we all want to avoid and/or a greater length of time required in stay-at-home to reverse the dramatic rates of growth,” the letter adds.

Hoping for state help At the time of the letter’s date, Denver and Adams County were in safer-at-home level orange, and Jefferson County’s move to level orange was already announced.

“Moving up in level (so far) hasn’t been effective in Denver or really any of our counties,” Douglas told Colorado Community Media. “I think we all know that the community is tired of doing more restrictions, nobody wants to do them, and we know the governor is a big believer in local control, but we’re a big believer in the bully pulpit of his office.”

“Public health directors don’t seem to have as much gravitas,” Douglas added, worrying that only the clout of state officials could

ensure enough public buy-in for a stay-at-home order to be effective.

The clock is ticking: Adams County’s “incidence rate,” or the rate of new cases per 100,000 people over the course of two weeks, recently broke 1,000, Douglas said — nearly three times the upper limit for remaining in level orange, which is 350.

The number of Coloradans hospitalized with COVID-19 began hitting its highest marks ever recorded dur-

Stay-at-home could last weeks Douglas said it’s hard to predict whether Adams and Arapahoe counties would move to stay-athome orders by Thanksgiving. But those counties have seen increases in their restrictions roughly every couple of weeks since mid-October.

Tri-County Health issued a public health order for Arapahoe on Oct. 16 that moved up the last call for alcohol and tightened limits on personal gatherings, and Arapahoe moved to safer-at-home level yellow on Oct. 28. It moved to level orange Nov. 11.

County to move to a stay-at-home order by early December, the health chief said: “Hard to predict. Very much depends on county case trends and regional (and) state hospital capacity over next few weeks.”

Douglas also said he and neighboring local health directors are talking among themselves and with the state public-health department to figure out what level of virus spread warrants taking “the draconian step of a stay-at-home and how long it needs to go on.”

“The longer we wait, the longer it’ll need to be,” Douglas said. “I think at the very least, it looks like it’ll probably be several weeks. It needs to be (at least) one incubation period of the virus, 14 days. And maybe it needs to be two,” depending on how quickly metro residents change their behavior, he continued.

VOICES

Seems like the future wasn’t worth the wait

anting an additional serving of “thin gruel,” plucky parish workhouse resident Oliver Twist pleaded “Please, sir, I want some more.”

QUIET To paraphrase the DESPERATION indigent lad, “Please, sir, I don’t want some more.”

I don’t want a car that drives itself. I don’t want to tell a car what to do. I don’t want a car that stops when it thinks it should or parks itself.

I don’t want to tell Craig Marshall my television what Smith to do. Or ask Siri or Alexa anything.

I don’t want a vacuum cleaner roaming around the house on its own.

Skype, Zoom, leave the room.

I’m not interested in Extended Reality.

Enough. I have enough.

What do I have? A microwave oven, washer and dryer, refrigerator, a computer, a television, a landline telephone, an eight-year-old station wagon and a real dachshund.

Bernard Marr writing for Forbes noted, “We are amidst the 4th Industrial Revolution, and technology is evolving faster than ever. Companies and individuals that don’t keep up with some of the major tech trends run the risk of being left behind.”

Left behind where?

I have indoor plumbing and complete electrical.

Much of life worth living for still comes down to how we interact with each other, and many of the best moments do not depend upon technology at all.

Meeting a friend for lunch doesn’t require Silicon Valley experts to make it better.

Siri can’t explain why there is so much corruption and deceit in the

world.

Alexa can’t explain gangs, cartels, mobsters, racism, homophobia or religious fanaticism.

Or why common sense is so uncommon.

The ad shows Cheerios strewn on the floor and a disc-shaped, overpriced, battery-driven, autonomous vacuum cleaner consuming them.

Big wow.

Harry does the same thing and warms the bed at night too.

Of course, were I in a line of work that depended upon technology I’d undoubtedly think differently.

My dentist, for example, has to stay current with new developments or patients would go elsewhere.

My dental history is extensive and began without anesthetics. They were available, but for some reason not provided. Maybe they were an additional cost my parents couldn’t manage.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A look behind the scenes I had the honor to serve as a Douglas County election judge in this last election. It was my first time and I wanted to witness the process from behind the curtain. The rigorous processes included multiple safety checks and bipartisan involvement. I now having a clear understanding of how secure each and every vote is, and can say with total confidence that voters in Colorado have nothing to fear regarding voter fraud. What I’ve learned is that Colorado has one the most secure, easy to use, and efficient voter systems in the country.

What I find disturbing are those who don’t understand the systems to protect their ballot shout fraud because they didn’t get the outcome they wanted from this election.

Frankly, if there was going to be widespread voter fraud, it would have extended beyond the presidency and into state and local races too.

The only crime committed within this election has been wholesale voter suppression and the use of gerrymandering. After four years of hate, divisiveness and lies, we have an opportunity to begin to heal our nation, and ensuring that everyone who is eligible to vote can. Thanks to an all-time record voter turnout, America and democracy has won over fear and hate. Let’s celebrate and unite to regain America’s respect and leadership around the world, and take action to enact policies and laws that benefit our nation.

County made right choice with GOP In a year of record turnout, Douglas County residents made it clear: We continue to choose Republican principles and leadership. Indeed, Republican candidates decisively won each Douglas County-specific race despite huge sums of outside money pouring into Democratic candidate campaigns and pressure on us to become more like Denver.

We should be proud that our county held the line and didn’t give in to this pressure.

We continue to choose Republican principles in Douglas County because they create the foundation for our great quality of life to flourish. Principles such as responsible and limited government, freedom of choice, and respect for law enforcement translate into low taxes, a thriving economy, and a safe community. These conditions are key reasons we choose to live here and it’s great to see us continue to embrace the principles that create them.

Let’s continue to show Denver and nearby counties that we reject the intrusive government, freedom-shrinking, high-taxing, safety-risking policies of the Left by maintaining and actively choosing Republican principles and leadership. Let’s keep holding the line — and in the process preserve and improve upon what makes Douglas County great.

Colorado can do better and we should be proud that Douglas County is leading the way to show what “better” looks like.

two-day experience.

First, the tooth would be prepped for the crown, an impression made and a temporary crown glued.

The impression was sent to a lab.

A couple of weeks later a permanent crown was returned and positioned.

Now my dentist can do it all in one day with technology that wasn’t available to her years ago.

My theory is that many contemporary upgrades are the Emperor’s New Clothes.

The 2020 World Series was packed with “broadcast enhancements” and “game tracking through Statcast powered by Google Cloud.”

One of these enhancements was the “exit velocity” of a home run.

I want to know the exit velocity of a batted ball about as much as I want to know what’s in thin gruel.

The pebble, the ripple, the current or the wave

S

ometimes it is the current or the wave that gets all the attention, but maybe we can first begin by talking about the pebble and the ripple, and even our own role as either one in the WINNING creation of those WORDS rippling waters, currents, and waves.

As we do, there are a few things about being the pebble or the ripple that we should keep in mind. The first is that there are times where Michael Norton we can be both, making our initial splash or point, and then doing our best to perpetuate a shared feeling or message. The second thing to consider is that both the pebble and the ripple can either be positively charged or negatively driven. And lastly, most times the pebbles that generate the biggest ripples are the same ones that carry the message the farthest and have the greatest impact.

Some throw pebbles of negativity, trying to do as much damage to the calm of the water as possible without a care for the lingering effect those ripples may have on anything or anyone in their path. Others cast pebbles with a clear sense of

purpose and desired outcome. These pebbles are intended to deliver hope and encouragement as the ripples created wash upon the shores of those who need them the most.

And there are a couple of things we may want to think about when we are being caught in the current.

It could mean that we are just riding out the ripples of life, allowing other people, situations, opinions, and events to determine what we believe, how we think, and what we do. Some may call this, “Just going with the flow.”

However, there are other currents that we get caught up in too. Currents that were caused by the ripples, and ripples that were initiated by a pebble, and a pebble that was cast with the intention of making a positive difference in the lives of the people caught up in the current. We seek this current and appreciate the cause and effect of such ripples. We may even acknowledge that we are not caught in a current, realizing we are riding a wave of hope instead.

“Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into the water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects.” - Dalai Lama Each of us, whether we like it or not is one of these four things; the pebble; the ripple; caught in

A look at planning in the post-election period

T

he election is finally over, and we have a few short weeks to finish any 2020 planning strategies before the New Year. As of this writing, some states are still counting votes, but with the majority in, it appears Joe Biden will be sworn FINANCIAL into the office of STRATEGIES the presidency in January. Currently it appears the stock market is pricing in a split Congress with a Democratic House and a Republican Senate. The runoff for the last two Senate seats in Patricia Kummer Georgia will not be known until January.

Historically, the financial markets and economic activity thrive best under a split government due to a set of checks and balances between parties. Nothing too drastic is likely to get passed without plenty of notice as the House and the Senate debate issues.

Based on Biden’s campaign promises, the initial focus will likely be on a COVID-19 stimulus package and health care improvements. This means that infrastructure and jobs growth will be shortly behind and tax reform may be pushed out to 2022, according to Libby Cantrill, CFA with PIMCO.¹ Tax planning is always a good idea, just like investing or planning of any kind. Do what you can today with what you know now, for tomorrow could make today look like a missed opportunity. Regardless of who is in office, with the burgeoning federal deficit and the need for ongoing stimulus, I believe there would need to be tax increases. No one likes to pay more taxes, but the reality is that it appears inevitable in our current economic state. Therefore, I urge folks to consider taking advantage of the last month of the year and utilize this potentially lower tax bracket year to help improve their finances. This could include realizing long-term capital gains or converting IRA accounts to a Roth.

Of course, you should still maximize your retirement plan contributions to minimize any increased taxable income.

Investing is also a good idea, regardless of who is in office. Economic uncertainty often increases volatility across the markets. This is a good opportunity to remem-

ber that this is a marathon, not a sprint, and you should stick to the long-term plan. It may be difficult to focus on goals when other investors are making short-term, emotional trades.

A potential split Congress under a Biden presidency may still cause some gridlock. Watch for debates around a stimulus plan and other forms of spending bills. The Fed will likely continue to utilize monetary policy and other tools (such as Quantitative Easing) to support financial markets.² A contentious relationship between the Senate and Biden administration could drive higher rate volatility, but likely favor growth stocks.³ Investor’s Business Daily states “A powerful stock market rally has taken hold, fueled by election results despite surging coronavirus cases”.

The coronavirus pandemic is still likely the most significant factor in the near term. If infection rates and hospitalizations continue to increase, we could see further limits on social and/or economic activity that could depress economic progress. The vaccine is good news but may take years to administer.

Regardless of economic or political shifts, your asset allocation is driven by your goals and risk tolerance and we don’t recommend that it be altered based on short-term volatility. In fact, volatility may present opportunities for long-term investors. Maintaining a well-balanced portfolio can help you to stay focused on the end goal. And, as always, you should consult with your own investment or tax professional for advice specific to your situation.

OBITUARIES JOHNSON

Jan Campbell Johnson 10/13/1939 - 11/14/2020

Jan Campbell Johnson, treasured sister, mom, grammy, soon to be greatgrandma, aunt, and friend, passed peacefully on Saturday, November 14, 2020, to join her husband Richard and parents.

Born on October 13, 1939, she was 81 years old.

She was born in Grand Canyon, Arizona, to Ed and Earline Campbell, and the family lived and ranched in Roggen and then in Franktown, Colorado. After attending Colorado Women’s College, she married Richard Johnson on October 18, 1958. They lived and ranched in Franktown, where they had two children, Suzanne and Mark.

They purchased the 17 Ranch in Crook, Colorado, and relocated during the challenging winter of 1974.

Life on the 17 Ranch for Jan included all facets of agriculture, including riding horseback, working cattle, raising Quarter Horses, and selling Vigortone feed. She was always on call to run any errand needed for the ranch, kids, or grandkids. If you asked Richard where she was, he would reply, “she is out spinning her wheels.” Her faithful pickup(s) carried her in work and joy.

She loved attending all the 4H and athletic events that involved her kids and grandkids, and as an avid Rockies fan, she would take the grandkids with her to enjoy a game in Denver.

If you stopped by the ranch, her door was always open where you could expect a hot meal and great hospitality.

HINKLEY

This love she carried into her job at Sterling Livestock Commission, where she worked in her ‘spare time.’

Every Tuesday and Wednesday, she would prepare for that week’s sale, where she would practice her hospitality with the extended cattle industry.

Jan is survived by her daughter, Suzanne, and husband Dan Meier of Crook; Son, Mark of Crook; Grandchildren Hannah Walker and husband Zach; Kort Johnson and wife Rena; Weston Johnson, and Shayln Johnson, and their mother, Becky Johnson. In addition to her biological children, she leaves behind those she treasured, Jeannette Rudkin, Kilee, and Logan; and Justin and Leslie Fiscus and daughter Lacie, and lifelong best friend Karen Mcdonald, Sun City, AZ. She also leaves behind a sister Kathay and husband Darrell Rennels of Livermore, CO, and sister-in-law Joann Smith, Aurora, CO, and multiple nieces and nephews.

She was proceeded in death by her parents and husband Richard.

In lieu of a service, the family will be hosting an open house Sunday, November 22, 2020 from 1 P.M. to 3 P.M. at the home of Dan and Suzanne Meier, 31790 County Road 81, Crook, Colorado.

Donations can be made to the 17 Ranch Memorial fund for the promotion and support of youth in agriculture or the Crook Historical Society. Donations can be sent in care of the above address.

David R. Hinkley

Jan. 3, 1935 - Nov. 5, 2020 David R Hinkley was born on January 3, 1935. Dave passed away peacefully on November 5, 2020 at Woodland Hospice House in Mt. Pleasant, MI. He was born to parents Ralph & Sibyl Hinkley in Bay City, MI. He served our country as a Navy Seabee, training in carpentry which he successfully continued this skill as his life career.

He was a gifted and skilled carpenter that took pride in precision, quality, detail and craftsmanship. David owned several successful businesses, “David R Hinkley Builders” and “Deck Systems” which he retired from in Castle Rock, Co. He will be remembered by his wife Ardell Hinkley and his children & their spouses: Julie Kiesel (Dave), Sherry Frazier (Jeff), Steven Hinkley (Haynne), Kathie Henricks (Carey), Diane Tilton (Jeff), Mike Hinkley

(Stephanie), Gary George (Renee) & Janet Bodis (Nick), 22 grandchildren and several great grandchildren, his sister Gail Brzezniak (Ray) and their family. He was preceded in death by his brother Lyn. Dave was a generous man who loved the Lord and his family. He was best known for being an avid outdoorsman and almost a comedian. His love of hunting, fishing and nature was passed on to all of his children and grandchildren in some capacity. He had a special little dog “Diva” that was always at his side. At his request, he will be cremated, and his children will spread his ashes at all of his favorite hunting and fishing spots.

usic of various genres. Podcasts. Work presentations on a green screen.

Slam poetry. Music videos.

Making movies for film school.

These are the types of works patrons have produced at free recording studios through the Arapahoe Libraries district that stretches across a swath of the south Denver metro area.

“And this is all free to anyone — not just our library (members),” said Tim Fritz, a digital media librarian for the library district. “We don’t ask for a card.”

It’s a service that has seen patronage from both younger and older local residents — from people living around the Sheridan Library studio in the district’s western end, to residents of other areas utilizing the district’s other two studios in the west and east ends of Centennial.

“We had a (kid) come in and use the Sheridan studio, and he’s now a touring rapper,” Fritz said, referring to a performer with the stage name Jay The Rarest. “There a high school right next to the studio, and when school gets out, the studio’s booked.”

The district’s three studios closed in March, along with Arapahoe Libraries locations as a whole, as the spread of COVID-19 gripped Colorado. But the libraries are considering checking out some of the studio equipment — such as for digitizing film or possibly loaning out keyboards — as the trend in public-health restrictions signals that studios may stay locked up into 2021.

On the other hand, some commercial recording studios in the Front Range have seen their work pick up as Coloradans have more time at home amid the pandemic, said Dave Devine, a senior lecturer of jazz guitar at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

Artists have used that time to “record the basic parts at home and send the parts in to finalize them in a studio,” said Devine, who has played the role of producer in metro-area studios. He’s also set foot in studios as a member of bands and ensembles and as a session musician to record for other artists.

The studios remain closed as the pandemic continues, but the libraries may start checking out some of the recording equipment. Call 303-542-7279 for more information.

Under regular conditions, the studios offer equipment including the following: • Software for audio recording such as GarageBand, Logic Pro and Audacity • Video editing software such as iMovie and Adobe Premiere, along with cameras, iPads and green screens for recording • Microphones, keyboards, electric and acoustic guitars, and electronic drum pads In Centennial, Smoky Hill Library’s studio opened in 2013 and Southglenn Library’s studio opened in 2014.

Sheridan Library’s studio opened in 2014. Visit arapahoelibraries.org/recording-studios for more information.

Some local spots are well-known Metro-area residents looking to step into a recording studio have a variety of options, including some that have seen big-name music artists.

One that might be “shocking” to hear about is west Denver’s Side 3, located in an industrial area near North Santa Fe Drive.

The studio has recorded Kanye West, Devine said, as its website shows.

Their clients also include “Green Day, Ed Sheeran, Lil Wayne — it’s insane,” he added.

Mighty Fine Productions in east Denver is “renowned and does a variety of music,” said Devine, who lives in Lakewood. Colorado Sound in the Westminster area — another spot Devine mentioned — lists Colorado folk band The Lumineers and neo soul pioneer D’Angelo among its clients.

In response to the pandemic, Mighty Fine started livestreaming concerts from its studio, Devine said. Avoiding the virus has turned some to home recordings, he added.

“You can record yourself on your computer and drop the file in the ‘cloud,’ and the engineer can turn them into magic,” Devine said. “The engineer I was talking to today from Longmont said he has more work than he can handle because people have more time.”

Some recording studios are located in people’s homes, too, which may make them more cost-effective without “overhead” costs of a building with plumbing, electricity and taxes, Devine

The Douglas County Libraries location in Parker offers “state-of-the-art software and equipment to create videos, musical compositions, animations, e-books and more,” according to the district’s website. For more information, see dcl.org/reserve-a-space.

Denver Public Library locations also offer multiple recording studios listed at denverlibrary.org/studios.

The Studio at the Wright Farms library in the Thornton area also offers “state-of-the-art video, audio and design equipment and software,” according to the website for the Anythink library district in Adams County. For more information, see anythinklibraries.org/location/anythink-wrightfarms.

The recording studio at Wright Farms was closed, according to its website in mid-November. Other metroarea library studios are likely to be temporarily closed or restricted as well amid the pandemic, but see contact information on the websites above for current information.

said. “But another thing is it feels (like) a much more comfortable environment. They’ll go make you coffee … it feels much more communal.”

For amateur artists, a home studio can be a great place to start, Devine said.

“You can look online for home studios where maybe the time is more flexible,” Devine said. Some will start there, and if an artist thinks a recording needs something more, they can take the project to a bigger studio, Devine added.

Prices can be steep: Devine estimated most places in town can cost between $500 and $750 for a day of recording. He wasn’t sure on home studio prices.

An artist recording a vocal performance might say, ‘$700, that’s a lot of money,’” but it’s an opportunity to sing into equipment that may be worth thousands of dollars, Devine said.

Free studios still a quality bet Fritz, the digital media librarian for the Arapahoe Library District, said that in Smoky Hill and Southglenn libraries in Centennial, “you get a professional-grade studio,” and at Sheridan Library it’s a little less sophisticated but still capable.

Electric guitars, keyboards, DJ equipment and electronic drum pads are among the gear patrons can use at the library studios, Fritz said.

Middle-aged residents often come in to produce audiobook readings, he added.

Fritz helps newcomers learn about the equipment, too, and before the pandemic, studios could be booked for up

to three hours daily.

As the studio closure continues, Arapahoe Libraries is planning to check out some equipment but isn’t as certain about providing large items such as guitars because of the cleanup they require, Fritz said.

“I think we’re all hoping like January” to open the studios back up, Fritz said. But the library district has to play it by ear given changing public health guidelines.

The Douglas County Libraries location in Parker offers “state-of-the-art software and equipment to create videos, musical compositions, animations, e-books and more,” according to the district’s website. Denver Public Library locations also offer multiple recording studios listed on that district’s website.

The Studio at the Wright Farms library also offers “state-of-the-art video, audio and design equipment and software,” according to the website for the Anythink library district in Adams County.

Wright Farms library sits near East 120th Avenue and North Holly Street in the Thornton area. The recording studio at Wright Farms was closed, according to its website in early November.

Other metro-area library studios are likely to be closed or restricted as well.

Fritz wants to get the word out, particularly to “underserved populations,” about the fact that his libraries offer studios.

“Many people don’t know that the places exist, and then when they (find out), they’re quite shocked,” Fritz said.

Gallery show highlights experiences of women Exhibit of 60 pieces includes wide variety of art forms

IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Curtis Center for the Arts is at 2349 E. Orchard Road, just west of University Boulevard. For those not familiar with it, it’s a gallery in a charming old schoolhouse. Admission is free. Parking is adequate. Open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. 303-797-1779

When the Colorado Women’s Caucus for the Arts sent out a national call for artists, the response came in from coast to coast — we noted works in the exhibit “Old Myths, New Stories” (which opened Nov. 7 at the Curtis Center for the Arts in Greenwood Village) from Massachusetts, Alaska, California, Indiana, Colorado, of course — and points in between.

The exhibit honors “womyn, wimmin, women, womxn” who are celebrating the centennial of their right to vote across the nation, in an exhibit that runs until Dec. 23 at Curtis.

Director Chris Stevens said there were about 200 submissions, from which the jurors — Stevens and his wife — selected about 60 pieces to include in this collection of twoand three-dimensional works that suggest a variety of ways to respond to today’s world.

The Best of Show award went to Denver painter Denise Dambrackas for her appealing oil and acrylic painting, “Begin Again,” portraying a beautiful little girl perched on a stack of political books, including one called “Begin Again,” as she holds out a familiar, bright yellow Dr. Seuss for us to read to her ...

Technically strong, it does stand out ...

Standing at the center of the gallery is a somewhat whimsical piece: “Love, Honor and Obey,” a life-sized mannequin in a black, lacy Victorian blouse and a skirt fashioned from a traditional quilt, with assorted items, including a doll, attached to it. Sayings and sarcasm here as one focuses on the details ... Oh so proper lady! “God Bless Our Home” says a sampler across her chest ...

If we are caught in the current, we may feel trapped, stuck in the status quo, or going along just to get along. And if we are riding the wave of hope, we are a grateful recipient of the pebbles of wisdom, motivation, and opportunity that were dropped into the water, almost as if they were dropped in specifically for us.

What happens then if it is a huge rock or boulder that gets dropped into the water? The bigger the stone, the larger the ripple. The stronger the message, positive or negative, the larger the ripple will become as well. y The bigger our sense of purpose or desire for learning, change, and oppor-

tunity is when the ripple changes and becomes the wave. Not just any wave, the wave of hope that as it crests, will allow those of us who are on top, to view the shoreline as we have never seen it before, and maybe even seeing it for the first time in a long time.

How about you? Can you see yourself as someone who can create a ripple that will have a far-reaching impact on someone else? Are you simply going along to get along? Or are you riding the wave of hope and encouragement? I really would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com. And as we consider that each one of us can make a difference in this world as the pebble, the ripple, the current, or the wave, it really will be a better than good week.

A contrast is an abstract encaustic monotype, called “Identity No. 3,” by Kim Roberts of Denver. It suggests figurative elements. And to the right of that is a shouting, middle-aged activist, with fist in the air — the variety of ways to tell a story.

Allow some time to look closely at some of this work. “Joanne” is a photograph submitted by Frances Murray Jones and Joanne Fruech, of Portland, Oregon, depicting a bare-chested, scarred woman, who had undergone a double mastectomy, but posed “prettily” in her high heeled shoes, glow from a quaint Tiffany glass lamp focused on her — a story of too many women we know ... It’s perhaps the smallest work, but has stayed in my mind.

Dougco Sheriff Tony Spurlock and his staff for keeping our election locations safe.

If I didn’t know better I would say that Douglas County is run by a bunch of Democrats, but it isn’t.

All of these people that are not term-limited deserve another bite of the apple and will get my vote in the next election. Gag, choke, gasp.

Mustangs, Titans finish regular season undefeated

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ponderosa completed an abbreviated regular season with a 6-0 record following a 40-13 win over Longmont Nov. 14.

The Mustangs, who are seeded third in the Class 4A state playoffs, combined a good offensive performance with a solid defensive effort to beat the Trojans.

Senior Cael Porter car-

ried the football 27 times and gained 229 yards, with one touchdown for the Mustangs.

Senior quarterback Jack Hanenburg rushed for two scores and also threw a touchdown pass.

Ponderosa’s defense was led

by Brady Porter and Brandt Jarvis, who each finished with 10 total tackles. Brendyn Herrick had an interception and Jack Ward intercepted two Longmont passes.

In other action: Legend 42, Douglas County 14 The Titans, ranked fourth in the CHSAANow.poll, also finished the regular season unbeaten with a 6-0 record.

Legend rolled over Douglas County on Nov. 14 as senior Connor Eise rushed for 182 yards. He had three touchdown runs and also caught a 20-yard TD pass from quarterback Kalen Shoemaker,

who completed three scoring passes in the game.

The Titans defense had five sacks shared by five players. Melo Castro had 13 total tackles to lead the defense. Jaxon Muma had 10 tackles and intercepted two passes.

Fairview 49, Castle View 36 The Sabercats had a game with Mountain Vista canceled because of COVID-19 con-

cerns but scheduled a game against fifth-ranked Fairview, which rolled up 553 yards in total offense.

Castle View had 333 yards rushing. Zane Wodark rushed for 155 yards on 21 carries and scored two touchdowns for the Sabercats. Marc Wessbecker gained 140 yards on 25 carries and had one TD run.

Quarterback Johnny Colombi passed for 146 yards and one score.

Playoff pairings announced for high school football Cherry Creek and Valor Christian are the top two seeds in 5A STAFF REPORT

Seedings and pairings were announced Nov. 15 for the first round of the Colorado high school football playoffs, with the games scheduled to be played between Nov. 19-21.

Park Meadows poised for a busy season Mall’s general manager says stores and restaurants are following COVID-19 protocols

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the metro area deals with tighter restrictions on businesses, Park Meadows remains bustling with shoppers as the mall’s busiest season begins.

Pam Kelly, senior general manager for Park Meadows Retail Resort, recently stated the mall has been the subject of zero confirmed outbreaks,

as determined by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The CDPHE is responsible for tracking outbreaks, or a sudden rise in positive COVID-19 cases, throughout the state.

Kelly said mall officials remain vigilant on all fronts to curb the spread of the disease at Park Meadows.

“The last thing in the world we want is a closure,” Kelly said, noting that the Tri-County Health Department has given the mall good marks for its social distancing protocols. “All of that is because the stores and the restaurants are doing the protocols that are put in place.”

Park Meadows has operated under

Weekly Carrier Routes Available Castle Rock Area

• Part-time hours • Adaptable route sizes • No suit & tie required!

Previous carrier experience encouraged; reliable vehicle and email access, required. no telephone inquiries - but

snevins@coloradocommunitymedia.com

a special variance from CDPHE since May. Under that exemption, Park Meadows had to implement enhanced cleaning measures, like regular use of electrostatic cleaning devices, installing a special heating, ventilation and cooling system, and removing most of their common-area “soft” seating.

Masks are required at all times inside the mall, except when seated in the dining area.

However, Park Meadows’ greatest challenge this year looms. Nov. 27 is Black Friday, the mall’s busiest day of the year. On Nov. 13, Douglas County moved to Level 3 “Safer at Home” orders, limiting store capacity to 25% as opposed to 50%.

The shopping season could still have that holiday feel. Park Meadows is offering a “touchless” Santa this year.

Parents can make reservations online to have their child take a photo with Santa. Kids can choose whether or not to wear a mask for the photo.

“After this year, too, our biggest thing was trying to make people feel that holiday spirit again and make people feel cheerful again, after this year has been brutal on everybody,” said Whitney Miller, director of the Park Meadows business improvement district. “We have done marketing campaigns about shopping safely, about gifting kindness, about making memories still because we still can do that. It just looks a little bit different this year. We don’t want to take the entire experience away, like some places are. We just want to make it so it’s more accessible to everybody and a safe environment.”

Kelly said the touchless Santa could

Park Meadows has operated under a state exemption, allowing them to continue operating with more lenient public health orders, under the condition the mall take extra measures to keep patrons safe.

PHOTO BY NICK PUCKETT be more successful than the tradition of lap-sitting and Christmas small talk.

“Kids get to see Santa, they get their picture taken and they’re not as scared as kids sometimes are,” Kelly said. “They’ll still have the million lights and 3-D glasses to keep, get their picture, by reservation only, so there’s no big lines…

“We try to keep it as safe as possible.”

Patrons get 15 minutes to walk around the Santa display and take as many selfies as they want. Kids can talke to Santa and have their photo taken as well. The display opens Nov. 20.

Pirate ship pops up in front yard Families are invited to visit the structure, light show

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In July, Sean Meighan was working on leveling his yard when a passerby commented that the retaining wall he built looked like the side of a ship.

Meighan was inspired and four months later, he completed construction of a 40-foot-long pirate ship in his front yard.

“Why did I do this? Because it’s COVID and I don’t want to sit inside,” he said. “I like building things.”

Since finishing construction and adding decorations, lights and fake cannons, Meighan, 69, has invited families to bring their children to play on the ship at his home, which is just east of South Quebec Street in northern

Douglas County.

Meighan, a software engineer, started doing light shows in 2012 after he wrote a computer program that allows people to animate lights in coordination with music, he said.

Detailed outline of work done for the completion of the conditional appropriation for reasonable diligence. ECCV’s unified, integrated system for the diversion, accretion, collection, storage, transmission, and treatment of water rights (the “Water Supply Project”) was originally designed to provide ECCV with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supply for its service area. The conditional water rights decreed herein are part of the Water Supply Project, which will provide water within ECCV’s present and future service area. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(b), for purposes of demonstrating diligence, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of all water rights conditionally decreed herein and shall constitute diligence toward the development of each of the conditional water rights decreed herein. During the diligence period ECCV has done, at a minimum, the following work towards completion or for completion of the appropriations and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed (expenditure numbers are rounded to the nearest $1,000): 5.1. Legal Fees. Legal fees in the amount of $3,000,000.00 were expended during the diligence period in ECCV’s adjudicatory proceedings for the appropriation of new water rights and changes to existing water rights for ECCV’s Water Supply Project, and water rights protection and opposition. 5.2. Engineering Costs. Engineering costs in the amount of $2,100,000.00 were expended during the diligence period in connection with ECCV’s Water Supply Project, to perform water rights modeling, exchange potential modeling, appropriation of new water rights, changes to existing water rights, water rights protection and opposition, and water rights accounting. 5.3. Additional Replacement Supplies. ECCV has filed applications and obtained decrees in the cases listed below to increase the replacement supplies available under its augmentation plan decrees and facilitate increased diversions in the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field, to add storage facilities and recharge locations, and to add exchanges to aid in moving its replacement water to its places of beneficial use. 5.3.1.

Phase II also included expansion of the Northern Water Treatment RO Plant (2018-2020) and the North and South Booster Pump Stations (2018-2019), and construction of Deep Injection Well II (2018).

Legal fees in the amount of $150,000.00 were expended during the diligence period in water rights protection and opposition on behalf of ACWWA for its Flow Project. 4.7. Opposition of Detrimental Legislation. ACWWA has been actively involved in opposing Colorado State legislation that would negatively impact the operation of its augmentation plans and exchanges. 4.8. ACWWA continues to rely upon and develop the conditional water right described herein and has no intent to abandon them. 5. Names and addresses of owners of the land on which the structures are or will be located, upon which water is or will be stored, or upon which water is or will be placed to beneficial use. United owns both United Reservoir No. 3 and United Diversion Facility No. 3.

Water Court Publication Public Notice DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION NO. 2, COLORADO TO: ALL INTERESTED PARTIES Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are hereby notified that the following case is a portion of the resume of applications and amendments filed and/or ordered published during the month of October 2020, in Water Division No. 2. The Water Judge ordered this case be published in the Douglas County News Press in Douglas County, Colorado. This publication can be viewed in its entirety on the state court website at: www.courts.state.co.us.

The name(s) and address(es) of applicant(s), description of water rights or conditional water rights and description of ruling sought as reflected by said application, or amendment, are as follows.

CASE NO. 2020CW3062; ROGER C. STEELE and MARYANNE L. STEELE, 15285 Rockview Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80921 (Please address all pleadings and inquiries regarding this matter to Applicant’s attorneys: Steve T. Monson, #11329, Emilie B. Polley, #51296, MONSON, CUMMINS & SHOHET, LLC, 13511 Northgate Estates Dr., Ste. 250, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80921, (719) 471-1212) Application for Adjudication of Denver Basin Groundwater and Plan for Augmentation EL PASO COUNTY II. Summary of Application. Roger and Maryanne Steele (“Applicants’”) seek to quantify the Denver Basin groundwater underlying their approximately 4-acre property in El Paso County, Colorado, and to decree a plan for augmentation for their existing Dawson Aquifer well for full domestic uses. The existing well is for in-house use only and watering of domestic animals. III. Application for Underground Water Rights. A. Legal Description of Well. 1. Property Description. The Applicants’ approximately 4-acre property (“Applicants’ Property”) is located in the SE1/4 NE¼ of Section 32, Township 11 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., known as 15285 Rockview Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80921 in El Paso County, Colorado, more specifically described as Lot 1 Block 2, Filing 2 of the Green Mountain Estates subdivision, see Exhibit A attached to the application for a general location map. (All exhibits mentioned herein are incorporated by reference and may be inspected at the office of the clerk of this Court.) 2. Existing Well. There is an existing well on Applicants’ Property.This well with Permit No. 139349 (“Steele Well No. 1”), attached as Exhibit B, is located approximately 67.03 feet from the East section line, and 1,470.1 feet from the North section line of said section 32, or UTM X: 508100.82104, UTM Y: 43226609.14105, UTM Zone 13, NAD83, and constructed to the not-nontributary Dawson aquifer. Applicants intend for the well to be re-permitted for non-exempt uses upon entry of a decree approving the plan for augmentation requested herein. B. Water Source. 1. Not-Nontributary. The ground water to be withdrawn from the Dawson and Denver aquifers underlying the Applicants’ Property is not-nontributary. Pursuant to C.R.S. §37-90-137(9)(c.5), the augmentation requirements for wells in the Dawson and Denver aquifers will require the replacement of actual stream depletions. 2. Nontributary. The groundwater that will be withdrawn from the Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers underlying the Applicants’ Property is nontributary. C. Estimated Rates of Withdrawal and Ground Water Available. 1.

Estimated Rates of Withdrawal. Pumping from the wells will not exceed 100 g.p.m. The actual pumping rates for the wells will vary according to aquifer conditions and well production capabilities. The Applicants request the right to withdraw ground water at rates of flow necessary to withdraw the entire decreed amounts. The actual depth of any well to be constructed within the respective aquifers will be determined by topography and actual aquifer conditions. 2. Estimated Average Annual Amounts of Ground Water Available. Applicants request a vested right for the withdrawal of all legally available ground water in the Denver Basin aquifers underlying the Applicants’ Property. Said amounts may be withdrawn over the 100-year aquifer life pursuant to C.R.S. §37-90-137(4). Applicants estimate that the following values and average annual amounts are representative of the Denver Basin aquifers underlying Applicants’ Property: Groundwater Quantification Acres: 4.03

Decreed amounts may vary based upon the State’s Determination of Facts. Pursuant to C.R.S. §37-92-305(11), the Applicants further request that the Court retain jurisdiction to finally determine the amount of water available for appropriation and withdrawal from each aquifer. D. Requested Uses. The Applicants request the right to use the ground water for beneficial uses upon the Applicants’ Property consisting of domestic, irrigation, stock water, recreation, wildlife, fire protection, and augmentation purposes, and also for storage associated with such uses. The Applicants also request that the nontributary water may be used, reused, and successively used to extinction, both on and off the Applicant’s Property subject, however, to the requirement of C.R.S. §37-90-137(9)(b), that no more than 98% of the amount withdrawn annually shall be consumed. Applicants may use such water by immediate application or by storage and subsequent application to the beneficial uses and purposes stated herein.

Provided, however, Applicants shall only be entitled to use water from the not-nontributary Dawson and Denver aquifers pursuant to a decreed augmentation plan entered by this Court, covering the out-of-priority stream depletions caused by the use of such not-nontributary aquifer in accordance with C.R.S. §37-90-137(9)(c.5). E. Well Field. Applicants request that they be permitted to produce the full legal entitlement from the Denver Basin aquifers underlying Applicants’ Property through any combination of wells. Applicants request that these wells be treated as a well field. F. Averaging of Withdrawals. Applicants request that they be entitled to withdraw an amount of groundwater in excess of the average annual amount decreed to the aquifers beneath the Applicants’ Property, so long as the sum of the total withdrawals from all the well does not exceed the product of the number of

years since the date of issuance of the original well permit or the date of entry of a decree herein, whichever comes first, multiplied by the average annual volume of water which the Applicants are entitled to withdraw from the aquifers underlying the Applicants’ Property. G. Owner of Land Upon Which Wells are to Be Located. The land and underlying groundwater upon which the wells are located is owned by the Applicants. IV. Application for Approval of Plan for Augmentation. A. Structure to be Augmented.

The structure to be augmented is the Steele Well No. 1 as is currently constructed to the not-nontributary Dawson aquifer underlying the Applicants’ Property, and as will be re-permitted pursuant to this plan for augmentation, as requested and described herein along with any replacement or additional wells associated therewith. B. Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation. The water rights to be used for augmentation during pumping are the return flows resulting from the pumping of the not-nontributary Dawson aquifer from Steele Well No. 1, together with water rights from the nontributary Arapahoe and Laramie Fox Hills aquifers for any injurious post pumping depletions. C. Statement of Plan for Augmentation. Applicants wish to provide for the augmentation of stream depletions caused by pumping of the one not-nontributary Dawson aquifer well herein. Water use criteria and their consumptive use component for replacement of actual depletions for the lots are estimated as follows: 1. Use. Steele Well No. 1, will pump a maximum total of 1.2 acre feet of water from the Dawson aquifer annually. Such use shall be a combination of household use, irrigation of lawn and garden, and the watering of horses or equivalent livestock. An example breakdown of this combination of use is household use at 0.25 acre feet, plus outdoor use including the watering of up to 8 horses or equivalent livestock with a water use of 0.088 acre feet per year (10 gallons/day/head or 0.011 annual acre feet per head); and irrigation of lawn and garden of 0.86 acre feet per year (0.05 annual acre feet per 1000 sq. ft.). 2. Depletions. It is estimated that maximum stream depletions over the 100 year pumping period for the Dawson aquifer amounts to approximately 0.7% percent of pumping.

Maximum annual depletions for total residential pumping the Steele Well No. 1 are therefore 0.008 acre feet, in year 100. Should Applicants’ pumping be less than the 1.2 acre feet described herein, resulting depletions will be correspondingly reduced. 3.

Augmentation of Depletions During Pumping. Pursuant to C.R.S. §37-90-137(9)(c.5), Applicants are required to replace actual stream depletions attributable to pumping of augmented wells to the Dawson aquifer. Depletions during pumping will be effectively replaced by residential return flows from the non-evaporative septic system. The annual consumptive use for non-evaporative septic systems is 10 percent of in-house diversions per year per residence. At a household diversion rate of 0.25 acre feet per residence per year, 0.225 acre-feet is replaced to the stream system per year, assuming the use of a non-evaporative septic systems. Thus, during pumping, stream depletions will be more than adequately augmented. 4. Augmentation for Post Pumping Depletions. For the replacement of any injurious post-pumping depletions which may be associated with the use of the Steele Well No. 1, Applicants will reserve water from the nontributary Arapahoe and Laramie Fox Hills aquifers equal to the amount of plan pumping, less the amount of actual stream depletions replaced during the plan pumping period. The maximum annual postpumping depletions are 0.06 acre feet that will need to be replaced to Monument Creek. Applicants also reserve the right to substitute other legally available augmentation sources for such post pumping depletions upon further approval of the Court under its retained jurisdiction. Even though this reservation is made, under the Court’s retained jurisdiction, Applicants reserve the right in the future to prove that post pumping depletions will be noninjurious. The reserved nontributary Arapahoe and Laramie Fox Hills groundwater will be used to replace any injurious post-pumping depletions. Upon entry of a decree in this case, the Applicants will be entitled to apply for and receive a new well permit for the Steele Well No. 1, for the uses in accordance with this Application and otherwise in compliance with C.R.S. §37-90-137. V. Remarks. A. Applicants request a finding that they have complied with C.R.S. §37-90-137(4), and that the ground water requested herein is legally available for withdrawal by the requested not-nontributary wells upon the entry of a decree approving an augmentation plan pursuant to C.R.S. §37-90-137(9) (c.5). B. The term of this augmentation plan is for 100 years, however the length of the plan for a particular well may be extended beyond such time provided the total plan pumping allocated thereto is not exceeded. Post pumping stream depletions accrue to a particular well only to the extent related to that well’s actual pumping. C. The Court will retain jurisdiction over this matter to provide for the adjustment of the annual amount of ground water withdrawals to be allowed in order to conform to actual local aquifer characteristics from adequate information obtained from well drilling or test holes. D. The Applicants request a finding that vested water rights of others will not be materially injured by the withdrawals of ground water and the proposed plan for augmentation. E. The well shall be installed and metered as reasonably required by the State Engineer. The well will be equipped with a totalizing flow meter and Applicants shall submit diversion records to the Division Engineer on an annual basis or as otherwise requested by the Division Engineer. The Applicants shall also provide accountings to the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner as required by them to demonstrate compliance under this plan of augmentation. F. The Applicants own the Subject Property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and that no other person or entity has a financial interest in the Subject Property. Accordingly, Applicants certify compliance with the notice requirements of C.R.S. § 37-92-302(2). G. The Applicant has provided a copy of this Application by certified mail to all well owners within 600 feet of the Steele Well No. 1 at least 14 days prior to the filing of this Application, pursuant to C.R.S. §37-90-137(2)(II)(B). A certificate of such mailing will be filed with the court.

NEGATIVE TEST NOT AN OK TO SOCIALIZE IF EXPOSED Unlike during the early stages of the pandemic, anyone who needs a COVID-19 test is encouraged to get one, according to a Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment news release.

“Anyone who has symptoms should get tested immediately and isolate for at least 10 days from onset and until they are fever-free for 24 hours without the help of medication and their symptoms are improving,” the department continued. “In some more severe cases, medical providers may recommend isolation for longer.”

For those who may have been exposed to COVID-19, testing negative shouldn’t be seen as license to exit quarantine, according to the department.

“Anyone who has been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 should quarantine for 14 days and get tested seven days after the exposure.

The show begins at his Acres Green home, 881 Altair Drive, at 5 p.m. every night and goes until 9.

Meighan plans to keep the show going until mid-January. After that, he thinks he will keep the ship up and use it as a front porch.

“It’s a piece of furniture now,” he said. “I have this beautiful view of the park.

“I could have been watching Netflix for four months. But instead, I started building this thing.”

“There might be some community sites that prioritize testing for healthcare workers, individuals who have symptoms or who were exposed, but we are not aware of any community testing sites that require a doctor’s note,” the center said in a statement.

The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing has said tests for Medicare and Medicaid members must be ordered by the member’s doctor or other health-care provider, but individuals are not asked about insurance at community testing sites.

“Our state lab analyzes all Medicare (and) Medicaid samples to ensure they are free of charge. Individuals with Medicare (or) Medicaid can be tested free of charge at any of our community testing sites and are not asked to provide proof of any type of insurance coverage,” the center said in a statement.

Other testing sites One test provider the state had consistently listed as among its testing resources is STRIDE Community Health Center, a group of locations that are not considered state testing sites and whose funding has come from federal and private grants to support testing, Laura Larson, STRIDE’s vice president of development, has told Colorado Community Media.

STRIDE offers testing at several locations in the west, east and south metro area, and no doctor’s notes are required.

For individuals who have insurance, STRIDE does attempt to bill their insurance carrier first, but if a claim is denied, STRIDE will not bill the individual for the test, Larson has said. There are no fees collected at the time of testing.
