Douglas County Coroner Jill Romann sat in her office with Lauren Stockton, one of her certified death investigators, going down the list of recent pandemic victims who came through the office.

“Seventy-eight, 89, 63, 92, 81, 82, 76, 79, 99, 93,” Romann said, reading off their ages.

Romann The bulk of people from Douglas County to die of COVID-19 in recent weeks are older than 65 and coming from assisted living or specialized nursing facilities, Stockton said.

State data shows there are nine active outbreaks at assisted living, skilled nursing and similar centers in the county, with at least 36 deaths across them. The data also shows that Douglas County nursing facilities are seeing their largest outbreaks yet amid the pandemic.

“Our senior community is extraordinarily vulnerable to this disease.

And I get questioned all the time, ‘Did they die of COVID or with COVID,’” Romann said.

Douglas County School District announces second-semester plan District will return students to in-person learning through phased approach

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District plans to return elementary schools to full, in-person learning at the start of the spring semester and will take a phased approach to sending secondary students back to a hybrid learning model.

The Douglas County School Board threw its support behind the plan presented by interim Superintendent Corey Wise at its Dec. 10 board meeting.

Public comment at the meeting’s start was filled with emotional pleas from special education, elementary and high school parents asking Wise directors to send students back to in-person learning.

Parents said children are being robbed of a normal school experience, that grades are suffering significantly and children’s mental health is floundering amid the isolation and stress of remote education.

Wise said district administrators understand pressures on the community, but he also wants families to understand the barriers he believes stand between the district and a quick return to in-person learning.

“I want you to know that as we evaluate, as we look into this, we do hear you,” Wise said.

Wise said a phased approach will allow the district to monitor two things: its ability to sustain in-person learning at an operational level and the safety of in-person learning based on COVID-19’s status in the community.

The district will likely assess

bringing middle school students back to hybrid learning at the Jan. 19 board meeting, according to the plan. Middle schools could restart hybrid learning by late January or early February if the district chooses to switch them back from remote education.

The district could then discuss sending high school students back to hybrid learning at the board’s Feb. 16 meeting, with a possible start date in late February or early March.

Those dates could change, and students could return to some inperson learning sooner if possible, Wise said.

Operational pressures became a significant hurdle during the fall semester. Numerous schools were forced to switch from hybrid to remote learning temporarily after COVID-19 exposures placed more teachers in quarantine than there were available substitute teachers.

Then the district made a switch back to full remote learning at all grade levels on Nov. 30 as COVID-19 cases surged statewide.

Wise and Tri-County Health Department Executive Director John Douglas said state outbreak guidelines — which are legally binding for school districts — placed immense strain on school districts’ abilities to conduct in-person learning.

Wise said he hopes quarantines requirements can shrink from 14 to 10 days for exposed people in district schools and that new guidance from a task force established by Gov. Jared Polis to send students back to in-person learning is expected in the coming days.

Chief Human Resources Officer Amanda Thompson said the district now has a pool of more than 600 substitutes and is hiring 70 more in the next two weeks. She thanked community members for applying to SEE PLAN, P3

School district plans to name new superintendent in May School board approves timeline that starts with picking a search firm

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School Board has approved a timeline for selecting the district’s next superintendent, aiming to have the process wrapped up in May. The board approved the plan as part of its consent agenda, a group of items passed in a single vote, during its Dec. 10 meeting.

The timeline kicks off this month, with the selection of a search firm and the planning of community engagement efforts throughout December and January.

The district will take up a survey of staff and community members in February to develop a “leadership profile.” The district will also gather

become substitutes and asked them to continue.

As the district assesses sending students back to some in-person learning, it will keep a close eye on its substitute teacher request and fill rate, Wise said. The district’s ability to provide schools with as many substitutes as are requested will affect the district’s ability to conduct in-person and hybrid learning.

A key COVID-19 data point will be the two-week cumulative incidence rate per 100,000 in Douglas County.

Right now, that sits at 830, Douglas said.

focus groups of administrators, staff, students, parents and community members before finalizing the “superintendent profile” and job application.

The district will spend March promoting the position and recruiting candidates. In April, it will screen candidates, interview top candidates and select a finalist or finalists.

The process is slated to finish in May. The finalist or finalists will interview with constituents and stakeholder panels, hold open forum community meetings and undergo interviews with the board before the new superintendent is selected.

Thomas Tucker resigned as superintendent in September, citing personal and family reasons while also under investigation for allegations of workplace discrimination, although he was cleared of any policy violations.

Longtime district employee and cabinet member Corey Wise is serving as interim superintendent.

Wise stressed multiple factors will influence the district’s decision to change learning models, but the district might consider sending middle schools back to hybrid if the incidence rate is near 650 and operationally the district can manage keeping students in schools.

“This is not set in stone. This is one of the measures,” Wise said.

Wise said the district is confident most COVID-19 exposures this semester came from outside schools, and that district buildings provide a controlled environment for children.

“We do believe transmission within our schools is very low,” he said. “I think our schools are safer.

I think our kids are safer in controlled spaces, and our schools are controlled spaces.”

Will metro counties see a second stay-at-home order?

‘Too early to tell,’ says health chief as deaths, cases appear to level off

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On April 22, 40 people in Colorado died with coronavirus, marking the state’s one-day record for deaths among people with COVID-19 in the spring.

After months of the daily death count falling and then staying steady, it jumped back up in the fall. Colorado matched its record on Nov. 11. A week later, the state posted a one-day total of 42 deaths.

On both Nov. 27 and Dec. 1, the state saw 60 deaths each day among those with coronavirus, Colorado’s worst days on record as of Dec. 11.

The rate of deaths — and new COVID-19 cases — now appear to be leveling off, but Colorado’s new cases per day still dwarf the reported numbers from the spring and summer, making Colorado’s previous “peaks” look like tiny blips. If the death rate only plateaus, Colorado could still see dozens dead each day.

And if public health officials decide that the Denver metro area — and other regions — need more coronavirus-related restrictions, they have few places left to go other than to impose the kind

avoid gatherings with other households, wear masks when interacting with people outside of their household and maintain at least 6 feet of distance from others.”

Getting to ‘level purple’

Continuing its county-by-county approach to coronavirus restrictions, the state’s new revision of the COVID-19 dial — the colorcoded set of restrictions counties must follow based on local virus spread — added a “level purple” in November. That’s the new term for a stay-at-home order.

While a county qualifying for lower dial levels depends on the local rates of new cases, how many COVID-19 tests come back positive and the trend in hospitalizations, a move into level purple depends more squarely on whether hospital capacity risks being breached.

That scenario could be defined a few different ways, according to the public health order behind Colorado’s dial, but the simplest is when hospitals approach 90% of their reported “surge capacity.”

Surge capacity means a hospital’s ability to transition medical and surgical beds to intensive care unit (ICU) beds, create plans for additional staffing, and manage or delay elective surgeries, according to the State Joint Information Center. “Elective” means a surgery can be delayed without SEE ORDER, P5

undue risk to health.

Estimates based on data from before Thanksgiving say that if Colorado kept up its levels of mask-wearing, physical distancing and moving activities outside, then hospital and ICU demand may stay within Colorado’s estimated surge capacity, according to a Dec. 4 report by the Colorado School of Public Health.

But if Coloradans let their guard down enough over the holidays, demand on hospitals could break those estimates, the report says.

If that happens, the state could reach ICU surge capacity in early January or even late December depending on how closed-off Coloradans keep themselves from contacts.

What’s more, local public health agencies, such as Tri-County Health in the metro area, could choose to issue their own stay-athome orders whether the state’s dial requires it or not. Back in March, three metro-area public health departments issued stayat-home orders, covering Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, Jefferson and Boulder counties, just before Gov. Jared Polis announced the statewide stay-at-home.

But Tri-County Health probably wouldn’t issue its own order at this point in the pandemic, said Douglas, the health chief.

“I think this is unlikely since we now have a state framework (the

dial) for all counties contributing to, or at risk from, a breach in hospital capacity to move together, which would be much more effective than movement of individual counties,” Douglas said.

Program could loosen limits

Meanwhile, businesses’ eyes are set on the state potentially going in the other direction: loosening rather than tightening restrictions, and possibly reopening indoor dining.

As of mid-December, the state public-health department was considering new rules that would let businesses operate at higher capacity than current restrictions normally allow — as long as the businesses stick to strict protocols designed to prevent the virus’ spread in their buildings.

Colorado calls it the “business best practice certification” program, modeled after a system Mesa County has “pioneered and has successfully run since the summer,” according to the state publichealth department. That’s known as the “5-star rating program.”

If the state adopts a similar program, businesses could generally operate based on a level of the state’s COVID-19 dial that is one notch less severe than the level the business would otherwise have to follow. For example, a business in a “level orange” county could operate at “level yellow” capacity restrictions.

It was still unclear as of Dec. 11 whether the state will allow businesses in level red counties to operate at level orange, though.

That was to be determined depending on data from Mesa County on whether a 5-star program is compatible with the red level, according to the state public-health department.

Asked whether the program would allow indoor dining in level red counties, the State Joint Information Center seemed to indicate it would, saying: “In the draft proposal, if a county qualifies and chooses to develop the 5-star program, indoor dining could be allowed.”

It’s also unclear whether the state will roll out the program on schedule.

“While the program might launch on Dec. 18, counties will likely need additional time to implement it,” the information center’s statement said.

Vaccine not immediate fix

Even as word of vaccine rollouts spread across the nation, state officials are hoping Coloradans keep in mind that the general population won’t have access to a vaccine until the summer — and that’s if everything goes according to plan.

The highest-risk health care workers and individuals, and then moderate-risk health care workers and first responders, are expected to have access to the vaccine this winter, according to Colorado’s COVID-19 website.

Up next are other high-risk individuals and essential workers in spring, and then comes the general public — anyone age 18-64 without high-risk health conditions — in the summer.

But a speedy timeline depends on “steady shipments of vaccines from the federal government and steady administration of the vaccine by providers around the state,” a governor’s office news release said.

An estimated 1 in 40 Coloradans are infectious with COVID-19 — the highest prevalence to date, the School of Public Health’s Dec. 4 report says.

And even accounting for the lack of testing early in the pandemic — a factor that makes Colorado’s spring tally of COVID-19 cases appear artificially low — Coloradans are now likely becoming infected at more than twice the true rate experienced during spring, according to the report.

The estimated peak in the spring of all asymptomatic and symptomatic infections — not just the cases that are actually reported, generally, through testing — is estimated to have occurred around late March, with nearly 6,000 new infections in one day.

In mid-November, the one-day estimate of new infections had reached around 13,000. The reported number of new cases for Nov. 12 was 6,600.

Even by a conservative estimate, Colorado could see nearly 5,600 deaths associated with COVID-19 by the end of the year, the report says.

As of Dec. 10, Colorado had seen 3,012 deaths due to COVID-19.

The total deaths among cases was 3,846 — the number who died with COVID-19 but not necessarily due to it.

Reverse Mortgage: The Lifesaving Help You’ve Been Looking For

by Matt Witt

I

s your mortgage payment “strangling” you? Are you worried about which bills to pay on your fixed income?

Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the lifesaving help you have been seeking.

With a government-insured reverse mortgage, you can pay off your current mortgage, eliminate your monthly mortgage payment* and get the budget breathing-room you need. Like so many seniors right here in Colorado have discovered, not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that would normally only be accessible if you sell. However, with a reverse mortgage, you can access the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get cash and make life a little easier.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity. Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not.

We all want to live a long, healthy, independent life. With a reverse mortgage, aging-in-place is possible!

Call me today at 720-458-4034 to see if a reverse mortgage is right for you.

Democrat Padden concedes to Kellner after close contest

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Republican John Kellner was confirmed the victor over Democrat Amy Padden in a close contest for 18th Judicial District attorney after the state completed a mandatory recount in the race.

Kellner secured 50.12% of the vote, or 287,402 ballots, while Kellner Padden garnered 49.88%, or 285,977 votes. The district comprises Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

Kellner, who will succeed Republican George Brauchler, celebrated with a statement on social media.

“It’s official! The recount is complete across all four counties and I’ll be taking the oath of office as the next DA of the 18th Judicial District on Jan. 12. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible,” Kellner wrote on Twitter.

Padden conceded on Dec. 5, still waiting on results from Lincoln County but expecting a final margin of 1,425 votes, or less than 0.25% difference.

In a release, Padden’s campaign pointed to the number of registered voters in the district — 27.5% are Democrats and 30.3% Republicans — and that 21,000 more Republicans cast ballots in the race than Democrats.

“We ran a positive, policy-based campaign that resonated with hundreds of thousands of voters. I am eternally grateful to my family, my team, and our amazing group of supporters for all their support,” Padden said in a statement.

Padden said she has offered Kellner her help in implementing reforms promised on the campaign trail.

The candidates had squared off touting their experience and ability to helm the state’s most populous judicial district amid nationwide calls for criminal justice reform.

Kellner has pledged to make more data available than what the district publishes today regarding criminal justice statistics and demographics of people in the system. He also promised community town halls and an external audit of prosecutorial data to check the system for implicit bias.

November was Douglas County’s worst month of pandemic Nearly 60 people died with the virus, according to the coroner

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

November was by far Douglas County’s worst month of the pandemic, according to data from the Tri-County Health Department.

More people were infected, more people died and more people went to the hospital with COVID-19 than at any other point in the pandemic.

“By the most serious metrics we track, November was a worse month than the peaks in April,” Dr. John Douglas, executive direc-

tor of Tri-County, said in a meeting with Douglas County commissioners Dec. 8.

The highest month for hospitalizations in the spring, which was when the first wave of the virus struck, was April, and there were 72 hospitalized cases in Douglas County. In November, there were 171.

In November, 56 people in Douglas County died with the virus, according to the coroner’s office. In April, the spring month with the highest death count, 34 died. As of Dec. 11, 145 people from Douglas County had died from COVID-19 since the pandemic began, according to Tri-County.

That trend is also playing out in senior living facilities, nursing homes and other similar business-

es. These facilities are facing their largest outbreaks yet, according to state data.

There are likely several reasons that the pandemic worsened in November, including people getting together for holidays like Halloween, Douglas said.

“Things (are) a lot more open than during the stay-at-home phase. (There’s) cooler weather, so it’s less easy to be outdoors,” he said as other possible reasons. “(There is) COVID fatigue on many personal prevention measures.”

The first half of December brought a slight improvement in statistics with a downturn in hospitalizations and cases per 100,000 residents.

Hospitalization rates in early

December had gone slightly down with 68% of ICU capacity and 78% of inpatient beds in the county filled.

“It is likely that some of the unpleasant restrictions of the higher levels on the dial are helping out,” Douglas said, referring to the state’s color-coded tool for COVID-19 restrictions.

Douglas County is currently in level red, the second most restrictive level. County commissioners are working on a plan to have some of those restrictions, like a ban on indoor dining, lifted.

Data from the coroner’s office shows that 41 people died with COVID-19 in the first two weeks of December. There is often a delay SEE NOVEMBER, P18

OUTBREAKS

BY JOHN FRISCH ALLIANT WEALTH ADVISORS

FROM PAGE 1

“It doesn’t matter if they died ‘of ’ or ‘with.’ They died because of COVID. Their life was shortened because of COVID and the question of ‘of ’ or ‘with’ COVID is really a moot point.”

Some centers have evaded widespread death among residents despite a high number of infections, but not all.

An outbreak unfurled at the Castle Rock skilled nursing center Brookside Inn on Oct. 13, beginning with numerous infections among residents and staff but exploding in November.

As of early December, nearly 200 residents and staff have been infected. More than two dozen residents have died at the center during the outbreak.

“It was devastating,” Brookside administrator Jarom Eberhard said.

“But we do see light at the end of the tunnel.”

‘It’s been really hard’

Eberhard hopes Brookside is nearing the end of its outbreak.

A resident has not tested positive since a round of testing on Dec. 3, he said on Dec. 9.

That’s relieving news for an industry in which staff can become like “a second family” to the people they care for.

Employees provide 24-hour care for people no longer able to care for themselves, he said. That not only requires getting physically close to residents but often leads to a tight bond between the health care workers and the people they serve.

“It’s been really hard for our staff, obviously the residents and family members. It’s been a difficult time,” he said.

The skilled nursing facility was able to trace the start of its outbreak to a new resident who tested positive for COVID-19 shortly after being admitted to Brookside, Eberhard said.

“From there it just spread to the staff and then spread to other residents,” he said. “We’ve seen throughout the nation regardless of your rating, or if you’re a big facility, small facility, for profit, not-forprofit, it didn’t really matter with COVID. If it got into your building, it is very challenging to get it out.”

The admission of an ill resident coincided with an uptick in cases throughout the community, he said.

As members of the health care industry, Brookside encourages following proper social distancing within the broader community, he said.

Staff live and move throughout surrounding areas, running the risk of getting exposed and carrying COVID into their place of work, he said.

“Anything that happens in the community, we get affected,” he said.

Tri-County Health Department data shows at least 50 people died in Douglas County from COVID-19 in November. The average age of COVID-19 victims in Douglas County is 82. Nearly 79% of COVID-19 deaths are among people 75 and older.

The total number of deaths since COVID-19 reached Douglas County in March, among other statistics

Douglas County Coroner Jill Romann is urging county residents to take precautions FILE PHOTO against COVID-19, including wearing masks.

posted to Tri-County Health’s website, is often outdated because of reporting lag times.

As of mid-afternoon Dec. 7, Romann confirmed that Tri-County Health’s published data did not yet reflect an additional 10 lives lost to the pandemic. There had been 132 people from Douglas County who died because of COVID-19 by that time, she said, not the 122 published online.

Brookside is not the only facility hit by outbreaks, although others are seeing far fewer deaths, according to state data.

At assisted living facility Parker Senior Living by MorningStar, 60 residents and 33 staff have tested positive for the virus during an ongoing outbreak first declared on Nov. 5. Seven people have died.

The Brookdale Highlands Ranch assisted living facility officially became an outbreak site on Nov. 15. There, 30 residents and 13 staff members have tested positive, with two more suspected cases among staff. One person has died.

The Suites Parker, a skilled nursing center, was designated an outbreak site on Sept. 21 and remains on the state’s list of active outbreaks. Among residents, at least 53 people became infected with COVID-19. One person has died.

Nearly 20 staff members had tested positive.

And assisted living facility Legacy Village of Castle Pines saw at least 19 residents test positive with another probable case amid an ongoing outbreak first declared on Nov. 13. An additional 11 staff members tested positive. No one has died at the facility during the outbreak.

For several facilities, this is not the first outbreak to breach the facility during the pandemic. But none of the incidents on the state’s list of resolved outbreaks at assisted living or specialized nursing facilities reached the more than 24 confirmed resident infections and no more than seven people died in an individual outbreak during the spring and summer.

Ashley Richter, the communicable disease epidemiology manager for Tri-County-Health Department, oversees contact tracing for the health agency.

Asked what the Douglas County data can tell the community — and how one location can be hit especially hard amid outbreaks while

others less so — Richter said those numbers demonstrate the volatility of this health crisis.

“We have seen throughout the pandemic that some people get incredibly sick while others get what they describe as a ‘minor cold.’

There’s no way for us to predict the severity of symptoms or how a specific individual will react to the virus,” she said via email.

It also stresses the need for vigilantly practicing precautions, she said. A person might only experience minor symptoms but can also spread COVID-19 to someone who has “a devastating outcome.”

A community can support its neighbors in congregate housing by strictly abiding by visitation guidelines, she said. Do not visit a loved one if feeling ill.

“The residents of these facilities, for the most part, aren’t leaving and getting exposed outside the facility. The virus physically has to be brought in,” she said.

‘It’s all related’

While local facilities weather outbreaks, some Douglas County communities are criticizing level red public health restrictions and pushing to further reopen the local economy.

The Town of Castle Rock recently adopted a resolution rebuking the state for placing Douglas County under level red restrictions and closing restaurants to indoor dining. The town’s resolution said it will not participate in enforcing the health order. Local business owners and elected leaders have fiercely disputed a link between indoor dining and significnant community spread.

Richter cautioned reopening communities too soon can still affect vulnerable community members.

“It’s all related,” Richter said.

“Opening local businesses means people can become exposed, which means that those individuals can go into nursing facilities or see friends and continue to spread the virus.”

Castle Rock Mayor Jason Gray said the town is kept informed of local outbreaks through Tri-County Health but does not get involved in monitoring the matters unless the business or Tri-County requests town assistance.

Gray said he was disheartened to hear about the outbreak at Brookside.

SEE OUTBREAKS, P10

When I published my first newspaper “Your Money” column, we’d just wrapped a raucous presidential election.

Almost four years, another election cycle, and a pandemic later, today’s submission is my 100th. To mark the milestone (as I also did at #50), here’s another batch of my favorite wealth-related quotes. “[T]he irony of obsessive loss aversion is that our worst fears become realized in our attempts to manage them.” — Daniel Crosby “The problem with expert predictions of the stock market isn’t that they are wrong — which they often are — the future is uncertain, and we shouldn’t expect anyone to predict it. The problem is that investors often listen to these predictions and base investment decisions on them.” — John Jennings “If you’re living in fear of the next downturn, consider shifting your thinking instead of your investments.” — David Booth “The likelihood is that at least two, three, or four [vaccines] will prove to be both safe and efficacious. Then we’ll be faced with the challenge of scaling up manufacturing to a completely unheardof level.” —Bill Gates (October 2020) “The burden of federal debt is calculated the same way you would measure a household’s debt burden: by dividing annual debt service payments by annual income. Overall, and as a nation, we are currently spending 3% of our annual income on our national debt. In the great scheme of things, that is a drop in the bucket—rare is the household with such a low debt burden!” — Scott Grannis (June 2020) “As someone said recently, when your worldview starts with ‘How do we limit the number of rich people?’, you reach for socialism. When your worldview starts with ‘How do we limit the number of poor people?’, you reach for capitalism.” — John Phelan “Every single day in recent years, another 325,000 people got their first access to electricity. Each day, more than 200,000 got piped water for the first time.

And some 650,000 went online for the first time, every single day.” — Nicholas Kristof (December 2019)

OUTBREAKS FROM PAGE 9

“I’ve long said since this started that I don’t care if you’re 8 years old or 80, if you have a preexisting condition or not, or if you are elderly, every life is precious,” he said. “I think it’s awfully sad that that’s happening.”

Gray said the town is responding to strong and often polar opposite opinions among community members regarding how best to handle the pandemic.

“There are a lot of people who have come to me and are upset that they feel like the town or the county is not taking that as seriously as we should, and we also have a lot of people who think that we are taking it too seriously and that businesses need to be open,” he said.

He would tell community members critical of the town’s calls to reopen businesses that local leaders are trying to balance caring for residents’ health and their livelihoods.

“I don’t think that should be a choice we make, about who we are more compassionate too,” he said.

Gray is an advocate for variance programs allowing restaurants that meet certain requirements to resume indoor dining, something now prohibited under the county’s level red status.

“I don’t want to lose anybody else, but the fact is we are going to, so if we can mitigate that as much as possible and start the reopening process of our businesses, I would like to,” Gray said.

Douglas County commissioners are leading efforts to establish a variance program for local restaurants and have written letters to the state urging further reopening of Douglas County’s businesses.

A spokeswoman said Douglas County is not involved in responding to local outbreaks, but commissioners are regularly briefed on the pandemic’s status by Tri-County Health. The county does operate work groups to facilitate connecting older adults with resources they need during the pandemic, particularly assisting those isolated by the crisis.

Commissioners did not offer comment regarding the status of outbreaks at county nursing centers.

Precautions urged

Romann, the county coroner, is begging the community to wear masks and continue taking pandemic precautions — and not only because she sees the pandemic’s deadly toll through her line of work.

In October, Romann’s 75-year-old husband was hospitalized for eight days because of COVID-19 while she battled the virus at home. He lost 28 pounds but recovered.

“While I was sick, I was worried sick about him,” she said.

Romann, 64, still can’t taste food.

And she remembers the anxiety of being separated from her husband, unable to visit him at the hospital or easily speak with him while he relied on an oxygen mask.

She wants people to stop asking if elderly pandemic victims died “of ” or “with” COVID-19, and she wants people to wear masks.

“We are not out of this,” she said.

VOICES Music won’t stay silent, for better or worse

W

hat’s science got to do with it?

What’s science but a secondhand emotion?

Music, eventually, finds its way into almost everything, including a pandemic. The same is true for all of the arts.

Visual artists, QUIET filmmakers, writDESPERATION ers, and others have been reacting to COVID-19 ever since it began to hit America and, in many ways, limit Americans.

Musicians have responded to dire conditions, authority, wars, prejudice, Craig Marshall Smith and innumerable hardships forever.

Some of us may have been initiated by Woody Guthrie’s politically charged anthems. He also wrote “This Land is Your Land.”

The decade of the 1960s was a ripe period for musicians, many of whom were tagged as “protest singers,” especially Bob Dylan, but also

The news right now is a bombardment.

Listening to music is one of the ways I (try to) overcome the frustrations and anxieties. I don’t invite “protest” music into that as I did during, for example, the Vietnam War. Music and movies are my antidote. After a day saturated with “Breaking News” I want comedy, romantic comedy, drama, but I don’t want violence, revenge, meanness or cruelty. There’s plenty of that in the paper.

After he left Them, Van Morrison recorded “Brown Eyed Girl,” which you can hear at least once a week on the radio.

“Skipping and a jumping / In the misty morning fog with you” is a long old way away from “No more celebrities.”

Often it’s the other way around.

Artists protest when we’re young, then soften (or resign) as we get older.

Of course, many go down fighting whatever it is.

Pete Seeger was still being Pete Seeger until the day he died (2014 at

Peter, Paul, and Mary, Phil Ochs, Richie Havens, Joan Baez, Nina Simone, even Marvin Gaye.

A British band at the time, Them, was uninvolved, and recorded hits such as “Gloria,” “Baby, Please Don’t Go,” and “Here Comes the Night.”

The lead singer, who was born in 1945, went solo and still performs.

I was half-surprised to read about a song he’s written and recorded titled “No More Lockdown,” and anti-lockdown tune.

“No more celebrities / No more celebrities telling us / Telling us what we’re supposed to feel / No more lockdown.”

He takes a bigger swing at “experts.”

“No more Imperial College Scientists making up crooked facts.”

It’s not smooth and pretty, is it?

Neither was Dylan’s “Masters of War,” a song I have outgrown; not one I’m likely to listen to on a Sunday in 2020.

As an artist, I have always avoided current events, choosing instead to find solace in painting and drawing rather than a forum.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Who should be the judge?

The column “Before Sharing that article or meme…” by Tiffany Curtin in the issue of Dec. 3 states, “A research study

by Princeton University and NYU revealed that adults over 65 are more than twice as likely to share false information over Facebook….” So, who is or should be the judge of what is false information? Facebook would have you believe that they are the judge. Also, Twitter seems to think they are the judge. What has happened to free speech?

Certainly, universities are not good judges of what is misleading as they censor free speech on their campuses according to their own political views. In Ms. Curtin’s point 4, that we should look for a video that has been altered, think back to how CNN (and others) altered the video of Nick Sandmann. They had to pay this young man for falsely representing what had happened at the March for Life in 2019. So, who can we trust to give us accurate information?

Instead of worrying about the spread of misinformation, we should be more concerned about allowing the free flow of ideas.

There should not be one person

Jeri E. Brown Castle Rock Don’t call health clubs essential

A recent letter to the editor concerning health clubs did have one point correct, this pandemic is having an impact on everyone’s mental health. I do question the need to place health clubs as essential to solving problems and deserving of state funds compared to other small businesses that will not receive these funds due to their timing.

If health clubs are essential, what percent of the total population do they serve, 10%-20%-30% to warrant essential? How are they more essential than are schools or churches that are experiencing financial difficulties? Schools service a higher percentage of the population and many of these kids that cannot have in-person contact may be SEE LETTERS, P13

the age of 94).

I probably won’t add “No More Lockdown” to my playlists. However, I understand Morrison’s desire to produce such a song.

I’ll let you in on a secret: These columns give me an opportunity to achieve the very same thing, albeit without the edge or the angle.

Morrison is adhering to the unwritten “Artist’s Responsibility.”

Choosing to will cost him some of his audience.

A best friend and I have been exchanging daily messages, each swathed in humor, wordplay, and nonsense.

Another friend and I dwell on the pandemic and politicians.

Which do you think I look forward to the most?

One day, Mark and I exchanged, explained, and debated our favorite humorists. It was hotly contested, meaningless, without importance or merit.

And wonderful.

Who is on your Have Not Called list?

A

special thanks to one of our community families, Mr., and Mrs. Arthur Emerson, for inspiring this week’s column, your encouragement is greatly appreciated.

Who is on your Do Not Call list?

I don’t mean the businesses you have WINNING asked to stop calling WORDS you, or the Do Not Call lists that you have registered your telephone number with to stop telemarketers from trying to reach you. No, I am referring to the people in your life who have made your Michael Norton Do Not Call list.

Well, maybe we don’t refer to it as a Do Not Call list, but for too many of us, somehow along the way we have intentionally or inadvertently created our own Have Not Called list. Life gets in the way, we grow apart, work is too demanding, our calendars are already jam packed, we have been on video calls and conference calls all day and just can’t make time for one more call. Our ears are sore, our voice is

crackling, and we just need to hit the pause button.

Let’s back up eight months to when this pandemic became more real than many people had predicted. As we were going through restrictions and quarantines, many families took advantage of the time to schedule family video conferences, bringing in aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, and friends together as a way to stay in touch during a crisis. It was more than we had ever done before the pandemic came around. And it was awesome, tiring maybe, but awesome all the same.

It seems that the longer this virus hangs around, the more serious it has become; the more our calls and video conferences may have slowed down as well. For those of us who were all working remotely, and in some cases, going to an office or other place for that human touch, we had some of our needs met through interactions or engagement with others. Unfortunately, this is not the case for many other folks. And they are not “just other folks,” they are our folks, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers, and friends who have been shuttered in

End of life planning is crucial for orderly procedures

They all died without a will.* The end of the year causes me to FINANCIAL think you should make sure you have STRATEGIES your house in order.

You don’t have to be wealthy to create an estate plan, in fact, everyone should have a will and or a trust. The famous people listed above, as well as many Patricia Kummer others who died without leaving behind their final instructions, could have avoided leaving their loved ones in a lurch.

An estate plan is not just about leaving money or assets to the right people. It is also about running a business, raising children, keeping the family home or setting up trusts to care for family members. There could be a rental property, a pension plan or a safe of bonds or CDs that should be addressed.

Who is on your Have Not Called list? That question was in no way intended to make you feel guilty, if you have read this column before, you will know that is true. Instead, consider it encouragement to make calls, send texts, write letters or quick notes, send cards, drive by their home, wave through a window, or anything that will let anyone close to you know that they are loved, not forgotten, appreciated, and important to you.

There is that saying about being lonely, even when we are not alone. And when I think about that, I think about the nurses, doctors, first responders, military personnel, teachers, and others who have been on the front lines from day one. They are usually never alone, but many have shared that they have never felt lonelier. I’ll bet that each one of us knows someone who serves our community who would love to receive a call, a text, a card or anything letting them know that they are not alone, and that they are in our thoughts.

The list of excuses we can use to convince ourselves that we don’t

experiencing the same mental issues as those adults who may or may not need a health club to unwind.

If Colorado is such a great place to live and offers many activities like walking, bike riding, etc., can’t this be an avenue to relieve stress other than paying for a health club and the state bailing them out with additional funds? I agree small businesses are hurting due to pandemic

to make a will, because they don’t want to have to name a guardian for their children. Yet, all adults and some minors with assets should have a will. Amy Winehouse died at age 27. Sonny Bono died in a skiing accident, both without a will. Yes, we even need to plan for the unexpected.

Intestate means someone has died without a will. The probate court is where a judge will determine who will receive assets according to state law. Since probate is a public process, many people want to avoid that. It also requires a six-month wait to determine if there are any creditors who need to come forward and make a claim against the estate.

Proper estate planning may help avoid the probate process.

A will provides an avenue for you to leave instructions about how to distribute your assets, name a personal representative to settle the estate, and name guardians for a minor or a child with a disability.

This is a very important first step in estate planning, to draft a will.

Keep in mind that a will by itself may not avoid probate. It depends on what the instructions in the will are. Some wills direct a trust have the time will only provide us with a temporary sense of absolution. The day will come when we will think to ourselves that we could have tried harder, we should have called, written that letter, or drove by their home so they can see us through the window. We will wish that we would have let those on the front lines know how much we appreciate, respect, and love them.

One of my very favorite motivational speakers and influencers on my life was a man by the name of Jim Rohn. His quote here may just sum up my encouragement to you this week, “Don’t say, If I could, I would. Instead say, If I can, I will.” You can make that call, you can reach out, and you can make the difference in the life of someone who really needs to not feel lonely or alone today.

So how about you? Is there someone on your Have Not Called list? I can’t wait to hear what happened when you contacted them or let them know how much you care when you email me at mnorton@ tramazing.com. And trust me, when you make that call, it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes. but to call health clubs essential doesn’t fit into my priorities.

to be established upon death. Some folks establish a living trust while they are alive that then directs assets upon their passing. Typically, with a trust, the probate process is not needed unless there are assets outside of the trust or the will and without beneficiaries listed. It is important to understand the different types of trusts and what is best for your situation. Plan to discuss your options with your financial adviser and estate attorney. Certain trusts can be used to protect heirs from creditors, to avoid estate taxes, to provide for a child with a disability and some are used to transfer wealth to a charity. A trust also provides more stipulations on wealth transfers, such as: “Johnny can receive half of his inheritance at age 25 and the remaining half at age 35.” There is no provision in a standard will for this level of detail.

Trusts can also be established for future generations with stipulations to be used for health, education and maintenance, commonly called HEMs. Another important factor to estate planning is proper beneficiary designation. It is crucial to name both a primary and a contingent beneficia-

ry on all accounts. Life insurance, annuities and retirement accounts all require beneficiaries. You should also add beneficiaries to your bank and investment accounts and your real estate.

Estate planning is important to protect your loved ones and your hard-earned assets. Life happens and part of life is death. Now with COVID-19 or any other unexpected events, there is never a better time to get started or review an old estate plan than before year-end.

OBITUARIES Dorman E. Followwill, Sr.

November 26, 1928 - November 11, 2020

Dorman E. Followwill, Sr. went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ November 11, 2020 in Castle Rock, Colorado. Dorman was born November 26, 1928 in Munday, Texas, the only child of Henry Dee Followwill and Gurtha Reeves Followwill.

Dorman grew up on the family farm in Munday, studied geology at Texas Tech and married his high school sweetheart, Paralee Ann “Pat” Matthews in 1950. His bride of almost 70 years died January 22, 2020. They had 4 children together: Pamela Brill of Castle Rock, CO, Patti Miller- deceased 2017 (Rick), Diana Helffenstein (Dennis) of Monument, CO and Dorman E. Followwill, Jr.(Blythe) of Witney, England. He is survived by 11 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Dorman loved his work as a Petroleum Geologist, moving the family from Texas to New

Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado as he advanced in his career. The family settled in Boulder, CO in 1967.

Dorman and Pat stayed in Boulder after retirement until they moved to Castle Rock, CO in 2002. Dorman was a man of great faith and walked closely with the Lord. He was a faithful husband, a loving father and grandfather and a man of principle.

Both Dorman and Pat were in leadership with Bible Study Fellowship for many years and attended Grace Church of Castle Rock. He also had a wonderful sense of humor. We are thankful for every prayer he prayed at the dinner table and for each of us when we needed it most. He was deeply loved and will be missed by so many.

LIFE

Making do for the holidays Traditions change as celebrants face season unlike any other

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

rom her family’s locally famous light display to their traditional Christmas party — which usually includes around 75 people and even a hired Santa — Jennifer Shelton loves to go big on Christmas.

But this year, COVID-19 has led the Arvada resident to rethink her approach to the cherished holiday. The lights at her home 19275 W. 84th Place are already as bright as ever but there will be no party this December.

Instead, Shelton and her family are focused on enjoying some new, more pandemic-friendly festivities. So far, their agenda has included multiple movie nights and plenty of baking and crafting, with the family making plans to learn how to make their own Advent wreath for their Christmas table.

She’s also planning on having her mother-in-law over for a day of baking with her daughter, who has never had time to learn the mother-in-law’s recipes.

“I’m just trying to keep the spirit alive even though we can’t do some of the stuff that we used to do,” Shelton said.

But while Shelton and her family are trying to make the most of this unusual holiday season, she said it’s still hard to not be able to enjoy more social activities like parties with friends and gift exchanges. That feels particularly true at the end of a difficult year that saw Shelton’s daughter spend 10 days in the hospital and her grandmother die of COVID-19.

Still, there also positives to a slower-paced holiday season, including more opportunities to spend more time with family and pause to be thankful for all she does have.

“Normally, I’m still shopping, but this year I already did all of my shopping online so I am able to spend time with my family and enjoy the season a little bit more by sitting down and watching movies and things like that,” she said. “I usually wouldn’t be able to do that because I would be running around like a crazy person.”

A cardboard tree

Given the risk posed by COVID-19, Aleya Jean and her partner will be staying home in Golden this Christmas. However, they plan on choosing another day in the future to “designate as Christmas” and will use it to go see family when it is safe to travel again.

In the meantime, however, Jean plans to enjoy the cardboard tree she constructed with her husband.

“That’s been a tradition for a few years, but now that we have so many

Aleya Jean and her partner created this cardboard tree.

Passersby have made of tradition of hanging ornaments on a tree along the Ralston Creek Trail in Arvada.

Amazon boxes it was really easy,” Jean said. “And we didn’t have to go out and interact with people to purchase a real Christmas tree.”

A harder holiday for some

For Katie Bartlett, this Christmas will mean will mean putting on a brave face for her kids. That’s because COVID-19 has impacted her family’s income tremendously and left them behind on rent and utilities.

Still, they did some decorating inside and are planning to do the tree next.

“It is hard because as a parent you feel like a failure,” Bartlett said.

“Don’t get me wrong, we have plenty to be thankful for such as our health.

But it is still hard.”

Casey Romero, meanwhile, doesn’t know where she will be spending Christmas this year.

She and her family were hoping to drive out to South Carolina to bring her son, who is serving on a military base, home to Littleton for his first Christmas since moving away.

But the pandemic had other ideas and her son recently received word that he would not be allowed to travel more than 1,200 miles from his base as a result of increasing COVID-19 cases around the country.

“Now we are hoping to get approved to drive out there and see him maybe in a VRBO (vacation rental) with maybe socially distancing,” said Romero. “But right now we don’t really know if that will get approved,

we are just hoping.”

If that doesn’t get approved, Romero said they will plan to lie low and find a way to “celebrate from afar.”

That will be a bummer, particularly since Romero has not been able to hug her son since he left for boot camp in May. Still, “it’s not great but there are worse things, and you have to take your wins where you have them,” she said.

“I do think people need to remember that our military personnel are very lonely right now,” Romero added. “We feel we have rights to do everything and see everybody but at the end of the day there are a lot of them who don’t get to see family. We have to be grateful for what we have.”

Communities changing course

Few Front Range cities are as synonymous with Christmas as Golden.

There, December weekends typically mean big crowds of shoppers during the day that become even bigger in the evening as people cram downtown to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus when the Olde Golden Christmas parades make their way through downtown.

This year, however, the city’s holiday planners are instead orienting the festivities around resident’s homes, while nodding to another canceled favorite, the Candlelight Walk. During that event, residents would gather to go caroling down Golden’s main street, Washington Avenue, with a candle in hand.

“This year we are handing out these battery-operated commemorative candles and we are asking everyone to place one in their window and light it every night at 7 to show that unity that we have in the community, and that even though we can’t come together we are all still together,” said Nola Krajewski, the executive director of the Golden Chamber of Commerce.

The cancellation of Golden’s parade also means that local kids did get the chance to march in it with Santa.

But they were still able to be sworn

in as official “Golden Christmas elves” during the annual Golden Elf Academy. Organizer Stacy Fowler said she was happy to turn the event virtual this year.

“I think that there is so much that kids aren’t even able to do and such a shortage — you can’t even see Santa right now in a lot of places,” she said. “This is some way for them to be involved with Santa in a virtual way at least for an hour.”

Other communities are also planning their own shows of holiday togetherness amidst the separation required by the pandemic.

In Westminster, Arvada, Centennial and other communities, residents have been circulating a Facebook post asking “everyone to step out on their doorsteps to spread Christmas sprit and help Santa fly his sleigh” at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve. “After this awful year, it would be an amazing memory for the kids and the communities,” the post reads.

“End 2020 with a bit of magic, hope and togetherness.”

Cheryl Truax-Williams is among those planning to participate.

“This is how traditions start,” she said.

Old traditions get new life

But while COVID-19 is creating new traditions, it’s also providing fuel for existing ones to grow as they take on new meaning at a time when so many are spending the holidays apart.

Three years ago, Chris Hohenstein began adding his own ornament to a growing collection that he noticed on a couple of trees along the Ralston Creek Trail near his home. This year there seem to be more ornaments than ever on the trees, which are located along the trail a couple turns west of Eldridge Street.

“It’s a wonderful hometown-type tradition that someone started in the neighborhood and everyone seems to enjoy and keep going year after year,” said Hohenstein. “And it’s just a wonderful treat to see as you are out for a walk on the trail.”

Never too young to give back Rylan Coleridge, 10, holds annual U R Loved toy drive

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rylan Coleridge does not like to put a number on the number of donations she expects to collect for a given fundraiser she is organizing.

With close to six years of experience running her nonprofit, U R Loved, Coleridge knows setting a bar can be limiting.

“Every year is different,” Coleridge said. This year is no exception.

When it comes to toys for underprivileged kids, every donation matters. Few know that better than the 10-year-old Coleridge.

“It means a lot to me and it also means a lot to other people,” Coleridge said. “I have lots of friends who have tough situations with family members lately due to COVID, so it’s really important for me to give back.”

Coleridge began her fourth annual U R Loved toy drive in December.

She set up a donation site Dec. 7 at the Holiday Inn in north Parker.

Her toy drive has collected about 200 donations last year, according to Coleridge’s mother, Candice.

Masked and donning a pageant sash, Coleridge greeted guests at the hotel behind a table with piles of toys stacked almost as tall as herself.

The toy drive this year is different from what Coleridge usually does.

Coleridge’s “Cookies for the Cause” fundraiser is a cookie-baking party normally held at her Parker home where friends bring a toy to donate.

Due to COVID-19, she had to improvise. Coleridge partnered with local Rotarian Kam Breitenbach to hold her toy drive at a Santa and Mrs. Claus photo shoot at a local Holiday Inn. As of Dec. 8, Coleridge has collected 219 toys.

Coleridge’s toy drive is collecting donations through Dec. 18. Her next event is Dec. 13 at Holiday Inn, 19308 Cottonwood Drive, from noon-4 p.m.

For more information, visit U R Loved Project on Facebook.

Coleridge has had a heart to give

Every year since she was 4, Rylan Coleridge, 10, has collected toys for underprivileged youths as part of her own nonprofit, U R Loved. Coleridge says she has collected more than 200 toys since she began her annual toy drive.

since she was 4, when she founded U R Loved Project with the help of her parents.

“It really was a struggle for me to get involved and that’s why I feel like kids aren’t getting involved,” Coleridge said. “It’s not every day you see an organization that says, `hey we’re looking for mainly kids (to volunteer),’ so that’s why I created my platform.”

Coleridge’s nonprofit helps kids get involved with volunteer work.

She works year-round organizing events or volunteering with other organizations.

At first, she started small, baking cookies for first responders.

Coleridge got involved with local charities she liked and recruited her friends to volunteer, too.

As her organization grew, Coleridge began to organize her own charity drives for underprivileged kids. At 6, she started her holiday toy drive.

“This is actually really important to me because I love volunteering, but it’s really important that I get to do the work and see it go to people in need,” Coleridge said. “There’s just certain platforms I love to work with because I see everything going on from collecting the toys and getting them out to kids.”

This year, Coleridge partnered with Impact, a Denver-based nonprofit, to donate the toys to kids in Denver homeless shelters.

Coleridge’s mother, Candice, said they noticed Rylan’s desire to give back early on and wanted to nurture that and encourage it.

Rylan Coleridge, 10, started her own nonprofit U R Loved when she was 4, with the help of her parents. Coleridge’s organization has worked to feed the homeless and underprivileged youths, fill school backpacks for kids and donate toys to kids in need.

Next, Coleridge says she plans to help with a program to give kids what they need for PHOTOS BY NICK PUCKETT a proper night’s sleep.

Rylan Coleridge, 10, meets a friend at the Holiday Inn in north Parker Dec. 5 at her toy drive setup.

Coleridge collected toys from 9 a.m.-noon, and said she expects to collect about 50 donations every year.

“She’s very blessed, and so I’m like ‘you need to understand that your situation isn’t normal,’” Candice Coleridge said. “You can be a good human and you can give back and you can put people before yourself, and that’s OK. Just remember that, and be thankful for what you have, but if you have the ability to give, you should give.”

Rylan Coleridge said she makes plenty of time to draw, play games and watch movies with her friends.

Due to COVID-19, and a hectic, crosscountry beauty pageant schedule,

Coleridge is doing fifth grade remotely this year. She attends Cherokee Trail Elementary School in Parker, where she is involved with the student council. Coleridge was elected to be the student council’s community outreach chair.

Coleridge’s next goal is to help kids who need proper bedding for a regular, good-night’s sleep.

“There’s some days it seems like maybe today isn’t the best day, but maybe there’s people I helped today,” Coleridge said. “I can be an inspiration to people to just keep going.”

something that has sparked local controversy and pushback from town restaurateurs.

Gary Godfrey was one of three event organizers and helped lead the protest, carrying a colonial flag and calling attendees patriots for protesting local restrictions.

He believes shutdowns infringe on constitutional rights, he said.

“I think after 10 months, people have learned to be able to respect others and understand how to protect others,” Godfrey said. “We need to trust our people and trust our business owners.”

Godfrey said people could hold businesses accountable through the free market. If residents disagree with a business’s protocols during COVID-19, they could voice that through “consumer habits.”

“No one is denying this is a very contagious virus,” Godfrey said.

“No one wants the flu either.”

Asked if he equates COVID-19 with the annual flu, Godfrey said “I’m not a medical person” but added he believes restrictions are less based in science than they are politics.

Godfrey was not the only protester who said pandemic response should be a matter of personal responsibility, not government shutdowns.

businesses, he said. Bracken believes the county should be moved off level red restrictions and that restaurants should be allowed to resume “safe indoor dining.”

Bracken has become a vocal critic of the Tri-County Health Department’s handling of COVID-19. He does not believe the health agency has used fair case investigation methods to acquire data supporting the closure of

Bracken knows COVID-19 is spreading, he said, but he suspects big box stores and grocery stores are more a contributor to the pandemic than small businesses.

Local business owner Scott Brown runs Knockout Junk and an Exclusive Tans salon in town.

Business is slower during the pandemic but holding up, he said.

He came to support others not so lucky.

“We want to support everybody that’s having such a hard time, especially restaurants,” he said.

Brown also believes local restrictions are government overreach and that pandemic response should be left with the individual, who should stay home when sick like what people “do with the flu.”

Brown said he considers COVID-19 more serious than the annual flu but that he thinks people can self-manage the spread of COVID-19 like they do when sick with other illnesses.

“I think we are all grown-ups. I think we can figure it out for ourselves. I don’t think that it’s not a problem,” Brown said. “I believe it is out there. I believe it’s a problem. We had a friend that passed away first part of the year, so we do understand how real it is.”

SPORTS

Start of winter high school sports pushed back Basketball season among those delayed by tightened COVID-19 restrictions

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COL ORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Coaches for Season B sports had been looking over their shoulders for about a month, waiting to find out if their teams would be able to play as originally scheduled.

Then, word came down Dec. 7 that due to rising COVID-19 cases in Colorado, the start of Season B would be delayed. Practices can begin Jan. 25, and competition can start Feb. 1. Season B sports include boys and girls basketball, boys and girls wrestling, girls swimming and diving, ice hockey and spirit.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment sent a communication to the Colorado High School Activities Association that the scheduled start of Season B on Jan. 4 will be pushed back and no variances will be given at this time to CHSAA. This could also mean the planned starts of Seasons C and D could also be affected.

“Obviously, it is tough news to hear that we may indeed be losing

even more games already cut down from 19 to 14 at the varsity level,” said Cherry Creek boys basketball coach Kent Dertinger. “I understand the need to push it back for safety reasons, and ultimately, I just hope the seniors will get to play a senior season, even if it is modified. We already have a sour taste in our mouths after the way last season ended for us, and we are chomping at the bit to get going again. We carry that chip on our shoulder daily and promise to leave it all out on the court this season.”

Jill Hunsaker Ryan, executive director of CDPHE, sent a letter to CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green and expressed concern about holiday festivities swelling the transmission of COVID-19.

“Hospital admissions are steadily increasing, and the past six weeks have produced a significant increase in the number of deaths statewide. With the Thanksgiving holiday just behind us and the impending December holiday festivities, we are very concerned that the rate of transmission will continue to increase,” Hunsaker Ryan wrote, according to a news release issued by CHSAA. Hunsaker Ryan said there was

not enough information to determine what the cases and hospitalizations would look like in January and that Season B sports would operate under restrictions in the level on the dial of the county of the school. For counties in level red — which includes Arapahoe, Douglas, Jefferson, Denver, Adams and many other counties — that means no indoor sports are authorized.

She also said the priority is on a return to in-person learning for students and noted that Season B sports are conducted indoors, which reduces the ability to ensure social distancing.

“This in turn may further promote disease transmission at a time when we need to ensure that students and teachers are protected and that in-person learning is the highest priority,” Hunsaker Ryan wrote.

Coaches of Season B teams are left to keep looking over their shoulder and study reports to find out if there will eventually be a season.

“Having the season moved back again is hard for sure,” said Rock Canyon girls basketball coach Becky Mudd. “Basketball, and all sports, are absolutely needed right now, and we should be looking for ways to do them with safety

protocols in place. We are used to hearing over and over that sports are an integral part of the educational experience and that we are developing the whole child, and yet now the narrative is that we can’t have sports. We have to get back to school first.

“I would contend that the two are intertwined, that we need to find ways to do both. I also believe that participation in some way, even if modified, would have noticeable and measurable positive effect on student performance.”

Heritage hockey coach Jeremy Simms has adjusted his time with his players.

“It has been very difficult keeping the players motivated, but we have just needed to get creative with practices and include more fun games in practice,” he said.

“This has been a very difficult year for out teams, coaches and players. The players have continued to work hard and continued to develop even though they are not sure when or if they will be playing games.

“When I let the players know the CHSAA season was pushed back again, they were all very disappointed but decided to take it as an opportunity to keep working and get ready to play... when it does start up.”

We’re all trying to make this work.

And while Polis is urging schools to open, he’s added complexity with the fluctuating quarantine guidelines that impact staffing. One thing is certain — our kids are suffering academically, mentally and emotionally from remote learning and we need them back in school ASAP to minimize long-term damage.

Children’s academic performance deteriorates with remote learning.

Douglas County is seeing a significant drop in student grades and attendance is down across the country.

Nationally, just one in five teachers say they’re teaching the same amount of content as last year. And once kids get behind, data shows it’s quite hard for them to catch-up.

In addition, mental health-related emergency room visits are up 25% to 30% for children across the nation. We all hear the stories of kids breaking down crying after hours of staring frustratingly at the screen.

Importantly, children are at extremely low health risk from this virus and studies show schools are not super-spreaders. Indeed, European schools have largely remained open and haven’t contributed to a rise in cases with similar studies corroborating this in the U.S. The same is true of charter and private schools.

Focused protection for teachers is important, especially for those in more vulnerable categories. Can the more vulnerable teach remotely to families who choose that option, while the rest teach in-person? How can we creatively increase the number of subs?

The science is showing our kids need in-person learning and can do

so responsibly. With our support, let’s expect our leadership to make this happen.

Will Johnson Highlands Ranch Rebuild economy, safeguard planet

It’s mid-December and it’s 65 degrees today. Our Colorado weather has always been extreme, but THIS IS NOT NORMAL. We can’t hide from the truth that climate change is here, affecting us drastically. Colorado saw massive wildfires this year that set our state ablaze. The three largest in state history happened basically at the same time. Bad, badder, baddest. I kept checking on my home county, Larimer, praying the places I knew so well would not burn to ash and friends would not lose their homes.

With new leadership entering the White House in January, I hope that as a country that has always met unpleasant challenges and surmounted them, we will finally go into high gear to control climate change. This change of administration from a climate denier to a climate champion represents a new direction for our country, ready to tackle the climate crisis head on while at the same time begin healing and rebuilding our economy from the COVID-19 pandemic.

I strongly encourage Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper, and all Colorado’s congressional delegation to lead efforts to power up our economy. Create good-paying jobs by making smart investments in clean, renewable energy and electric vehicles. Support innovation and entrepreneurship that will get us there. That way we can pass on to the next generation a healthier planet and better economy.

South Boulder Road #100, Louisville, Colorado 80027; Phone: (303) 442-1900. APPLICATION FOR DETERMINATION OF GROUNDWATER RIGHTS FROM THE NOT NONTRIBUTARY AND NONTRIBUTARY DENVER BASIN AQUIFERS IN DOUGLAS COUNTY. Overview. Applicant is the owner of approximately 35.10 acres of land located in Douglas County, as more specifically described in paragraph 3 below (the “Subject Property”), and through this application, claims all of the underground water in the Upper Dawson, Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers underlying the Subject Property, less the water in the Upper Dawson aquifer associated with exempt Well Permit No. 112392. In addition, Applicant also owns Denver Basin groundwater underlying the adjacent and contiguous 35.05-acre parcel on the Subject Property’s eastern boundary (the “Adjacent Property”). Applicant seeks to decree a well field on the Subject Property for the withdrawal of this contiguous water, which was decreed in Case No. 04CW118.

First Claim (Groundwater Underlying Subject Property). Legal Description of the Subject Property.

The Subject Property is located in Sections 3 and 10, Township 9 South, Range 66 West, of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, Colorado, as shown on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and as legally described in Exhibit B. The Subject Property is not located within a designated ground water basin.

Names and Legal Descriptions of Structures. The names of the wells to be constructed pursuant to this application will be designated at the time they are constructed. Applicant may construct as many wells as necessary to withdraw its full entitlement to the Denver Basin groundwater underlying the Subject Property. The wells may be constructed at any location on the Subject Property pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-137(4). Applicant may also establish a well field for groundwater production with contiguous parcels, as allowed for under Rule 14 of the Statewide Nontributary Groundwater Rules (the “Statewide Rules”), 2 CCR 402-7, and as further described herein. Wells and Well Permit Information. There is currently one well permitted on the Subject Property, drilled into the Upper Dawson aquifer formation, with exempt Permit No. 112392. Applicant has subtracted from the Upper Dawson quantification on the Subject Property one (1) acre-foot per year allocated to Permit No. 112392. Any well permits necessary for withdrawing the not nontributary and nontributary groundwater adjudicated pursuant to this application will be obtained prior to drilling any wells into the Denver Basin aquifers.

Source of Water. Not Nontributary Water. The groundwater from the Upper Dawson aquifer underlying the Subject Property is not nontributary groundwater as defined by C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.7).

Applicant shall not withdraw any not nontributary water until a plan for augmentation is approved allowing such withdrawal, subject to the applicable replacement requirements of C.R.S. § 37-90-137(9).

Nontributary Water. The groundwater from the Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers underlying the Subject Property is nontributary groundwater as defined by C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.5). Applicant shall relinquish to the stream system two percent (2%) of all nontributary water withdrawn on an annual basis, or otherwise demonstrate to the State Engineer that not more than ninety-eight percent (98%) of such nontributary water withdrawn shall be consumed by Applicant, pursuant to Rule 8 of the Denver Basin Rules, 2 CCR 402-6. Estimated Amounts Claimed.

Applicant requests the right to withdraw all of the legally available Denver Basin groundwater from the not nontributary and nontributary sources underlying the Subject Property at rates of flow necessary to withdraw the entire amount permitted under any decree granted pursuant to this application.

Applicant will withdraw all of the groundwater in all aquifers underlying the Subject Property through wells to be located anywhere on the Subject Property. Said amounts may be (a) withdrawn over the 100-year life of the aquifers as set forth in C.R.S. § 37-90-137(4); (b) withdrawn over a longer time based upon actual withdrawal or local government regulations; or (c) withdrawn subject to the banking provisions of Statewide Rule 8.A. The estimated average annual amounts of withdrawal from the aquifers underlying the Subject Property as indicated below is based upon the Denver Basin Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-6 as applied to SW ¼ of SE ¼ of Section 3, Township 9 South, Range 66 West. Applicant estimates that the following values and average annual amounts are representative of the aquifers underlying the Subject Property: SW ¼ of SE ¼ of Section 3, Township 9 South, Range 66 West Aquifer

*The Upper Dawson aquifer in this location is subject to actual replacement of stream depletions pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(9). ** 11.60 acre-feet of Upper Dawson aquifer water is available for annual appropriation beneath the Subject Property. Applicant has subtracted one (1) acre-foot per year to account for the amount previously allocated to exempt Well Permit No. 112392. Uses or Proposed Uses. Water withdrawn from the Subject Property may be used, reused, and successively used to extinction, both on and off the Subject Property, for all beneficial uses, including without limitation the following beneficial uses: recreational, domestic, industrial, commercial, irrigation, livestock watering, fish and wildlife, fire protection, augmentation, replacement, and exchange. The water may be immediately used or stored for subsequent use. Remarks. Applicant shall be entitled to the issuance of well permits for additional wells pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(10). Pursuant to Statewide Rules 11 and 14, Applicant claims a well field on the Subject Property for production of Denver Basin groundwater owned by Applicant and underlying the Adjacent Property, along with the Denver Basin ground water underlying the Subject Property. Said groundwater underlying the Adjacent Property was decreed in Case No. 04CW118. See the map attached hereto as Exhibit A. Applicant waives any six hundred-foot spacing rules as described in C.R.S. § 37-90-137(2), as between all wells located on the Subject Property. Although Applicant has estimated the amount of water available from the Denver Basin aquifers, Applicant claims the right to withdraw all not nontributary and nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property, and therefore requests the right to revise the estimates upward or downward, in any final decree based on revised data, without the necessity of amendment to or republication of this application. Name and Address of Landowner. Applicant is the owner of the Subject Property. Second Claim (Well Field). Applicant owns certain previously adjudicated Denver Basin groundwater rights underlying the Adjacent Property. By this claim, Applicant seeks to change the previously adjudicated Denver Basin groundwater rights conveyed to Applicant underlying such contiguous lands, so that such contiguous water may be withdrawn from a well field consisting of the Subject Property (the “Well Field”), pursuant to the Statewide Rules, 2 CCR 402-7. Original Decree.

The Denver Basin groundwater rights underlying the contiguous Adjacent Property that are owned by Applicant and are sought to be withdrawn from the Well Field on the Subject Property were decreed in Case No. 04CW118. Legal Descriptions of the Adjacent Property. The legal description of the Adjacent Property is set forth on Exhibit C. The Adjacent Property is within the 353 acre “Parcel B” that

was the subject of the decree entered in Case No. 04CW118, and comprises 9.93% of said Parcel B. Decreed Sources. The decreed sources of water for all the Denver Basin ground- water underlying the Adjacent Property are not nontributary water from the Upper Dawson aquifer and nontributary water from the Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers. Amounts. The annual withdrawals decreed for the entire Parcel B in Case No. 04CW118 are set forth below.

APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS AND PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION IN DOUGLAS COUNTY. Subject Property: 5.27 acres generally located in the SW1/4, Section 17, Township 6 South, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Lot 6, Blk 1, Forest Hills 1, also known as 11161 Forest Hills Dr, Parker, CO, 80138, Douglas County, State of Colorado, as shown on Exhibit A (“Subject Property”). Applicants are the sole owners of the Subject Property. Well Permits: There no wells on the Subject Property. Well permits will be applied for prior to construction of wells. Source of Water Rights: The Upper Dawson aquifer is not-nontributary as defined in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.7), and the Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers are nontributary as defined in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.5). Estimated Amounts: Applicants estimate the following annual amounts may be available for withdrawal: Upper Dawson, 0.79 acre-feet (NNT); Lower Dawson, 1.19 acre-feet (NT); Denver, 2.74 acre-feet (NT); Arapahoe, 2.25 acre-feet (NT); Laramie-Fox Hills, 1.59 acre-feet (NT). Proposed Uses: Domestic, commercial, irrigation, stockwatering, fire protection, and augmentation purposes, including storage, both on and off the Subject Property. Jurisdiction: The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this application pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 37-90137(6), 37-92-203(1), 37-92-302(2). Summary of Plan for Augmentation: Groundwater to be Augmented: Approximately 0.75 acre-feet per year of Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater. Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary and nontributary groundwater and direct discharge of nontributary groundwater. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: The Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater will be used for domestic purposes, including in-house use, irrigation, commercial, stockwatering, and fire protection, through one or more wells, both on and off the Subject Property. Applicants reserve the right to amend the amount and uses without amending the application or republishing the same. Sewage treatment for in-house use will be provided by non-evaporative septic systems. Return flow from in-house use will be approximately 90% of that use, and return flow from irrigation use will be approximately 15% of that use. During pumping Applicants will replace actual depletions pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(9)(c.5). Depletions occur to the Coal Creek stream system and return flows accrue to that creek system and are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped. Applicants will reserve an equal amount of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property to meet post pumping augmentation requirements.

Applicants request the Court approve the above underground water rights and augmentation plan, find that Applicants have complied with C.R.S. § 37-90-137(4) and water is legally available for withdrawal, find there will be no material injury to the owners of or persons entitled to use water under any vested water right or decreed conditional water right, and grant such other and further relief as is appropriate. 4 Pages.

20CW3168 DK Ranch North, LLC & Douglas W. Kiley (collectively, “Applicant”) 14371 East Kalil Drive Scottsdale, AZ 75259 c/o David S. Hayes, Esq. Petros & White, LLC 1999 Broadway, Suite 3200, Denver, Colorado 80202 303.825.1980. APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS IN THE DENVER BASIN AQUIFERS IN DOUGLAS COUNTY, COLORADO 2. Well permits: None of the wells that are the subject of this application currently exist. Applicant has not yet applied for any permits to drill other wells that are the subject of this application. Well permits will be applied for prior to construction of the wells. Applicant requests that the Court require the State Engineer to issue well permits for any such wells in accordance with the decree to be entered herein. Applicant further requests a determination that failure to construct any of its wells within the period of time specified in a well permit shall not be deemed to affect or extinguish the underlying water rights as decreed by this Court. Applicant seeks the right to locate the future wells at any suitable location within the Subject Property, as more fully described below.

Applicant further requests the ability to withdraw the ground water that is the subject of this application through wells to be constructed on adjacent property owned by an entity related to Applicant (the “Adjacent Property”), Diamond K Ranch, LLC. Diamond K Ranch LLC, has consented to such withdrawal. The Adjacent Property is contiguous to the Subject Property, described below, and was the subject of a decree entered on June 29, 2017 in Case No. 16CW3164, District Court, Water Division No. 1, Colorado. Applicant seeks confirmation that the combined entitlements to withdraw groundwater underlying both the Subject Property and the Adjacent Property may be withdrawn through appropriately located wells on either property. 3. Legal description of Subject Property and wells: Applicant seeks a determination of its right to perfect its ownership, and to appropriate and withdraw all of the available nontributary and not nontributary groundwater underlying two parcels, totaling approximately 72.36 acres, located in the portions of the SE¼ of Section 29 and the NE¼ of Section 32, Township 10 South, Range 65 West, of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, Colorado (the “Subject Property”), as more fully described on Exhibits A and depicted on Exhibits B-1 and B-2 attached to the application and available for inspection at the office of the Division 1 Water Court. 4. Source: The groundwater to be withdrawn by Applicant from the Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers is nontributary groundwater as defined in § 37-90-103(10.5), C.R.S. The groundwater to be withdrawn by Applicant from the Dawson aquifer is not nontributary groundwater as defined in § 37-90-103 (10.7), C.R.S. Wells will be completed to the bottom of each of the aquifers, which depths Applicant estimates to be as follows: Aquifer Depth Below Surface (feet) Dawson 1,010 Denver 1,921 Arapahoe 2,502 Laramie-Fox Hills 3,180 Actual depths will be determined after completion of wells fully penetrating the subject aquifers. 5.

Estimated Amounts: The estimated average annual amounts of withdrawal available from the subject aquifers as indicated below, are based upon the Denver Basin Rules, 2 C.C.R. 4026. For purposes of this application, Applicant estimates that the following annual amounts are representative of the Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers underlying the Subject Property: Aquifer

Saturated Thickness (feet) Specific Yield Estimated Annual Withdrawal (AF) Dawson (NNT) 441 0.20 60.8 Denver (NT) 351.9 0.17 43.3 Arapahoe (NT) 286.2 0.17 35.2 Laramie-Fox Hills (NT)1 94.6 0.15 21.1 The average annual amounts available for withdrawal from the subject aquifers will depend on the hydrogeology and the legal entitlement of the Applicant and represents a claim to all not nontributary and nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property, except for 3 acre-feet of annual withdrawal available from the not nontributary Dawson aquifer pursuant to Permit No.83129-A, which amount is reserved by Applicant and not claimed as part of this Application, to allow for use in accordance with § 37-92-602, C.R.S. Applicant claims the right to withdraw said amounts at whatever rate is required in order to do so, and when the water is needed during the course of any year. The not nontributary Dawson aquifer water claimed for determination herein shall not be withdrawn and used unless and until an augmentation plan decree has been entered governing such withdrawal. 6. Well field: Applicant requests that the Court determine that Applicant has the right to withdraw all of the legally available groundwater lying below the Subject Property through the wells requested herein and any additional wells which may be completed in any one aquifer in the future as Applicant’s well field (including on the Adjacent Property, as more fully described above). Applicant will file applications with the State Engineer pursuant to § 37-90-137(10), C.R.S., prior to construction of any of the wells. 7. Proposed use: The water will be used, reused, and successively used, leased, sold or otherwise disposed of for all beneficial uses, including, without limitation, domestic, industrial, commercial, irrigation, stock watering, recreational, and fish and wildlife. Said water will be produced for immediate application to said uses, both on and off the Subject Property, for storage and subsequent application to said uses, for exchange purposes, for replacement of depletions resulting from the use of other water sources, and for augmentation purposes. 8. Jurisdiction: The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this application pursuant to §§ 37-92-302(2) and 37-90-137(6), C.R.S. 9. Remarks: A. Applicant further requests the right to withdraw more than the annual average amounts estimated in Paragraph 5 above pursuant to Rule 8A of the Statewide Nontributary Groundwater Rules (2 C.C.R. 402-7).

B. Although Applicant has estimated the amounts of water available for withdrawal from the subject aquifers based on estimates of relative values for specific yield and saturated thickness, Ap-

plicant reserves the right to revise the estimates upward or downward, based on better or revised data, without the necessity of amending this application or republishing the same. C. Applicant may need to construct additional wells, including supplemental, replacement, or alternate point of diversion wells, to recover the maximum amount of water available from each aquifer. Applicant requests the right to construct such additional wells as necessary in order to achieve and maintain production of the amounts of water to which it is entitled. 10. Owner of overlying land: The Subject Property is owned by the Applicant, free and clear of any liens or mortgages. WHEREFORE, Applicant respectfully requests that the Court enter a decree: A. Granting the application and awarding the water rights claimed herein as final water rights, except as to those issues for which jurisdiction of the Court will be specifically retained.

B. Specifically determining that: i. Applicants have complied with § 37-90-137(4), C.R.S., and water is legally available for withdrawal by the wells proposed herein, but that jurisdiction will be retained with respect to the average annual amounts of withdrawal specified herein to provide for the adjustment of such amounts to conform to actual local aquifer characteristics from adequate information obtained from wells or test holes drilled on or near the Subject Property, pursuant to § 3792-305(11), C.R.S., and Denver Basin Rule 9.A; ii. The ground water in the Dawson aquifer is not nontributary, and the groundwater in the Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers is nontributary; iii. Applicant may withdraw ground water pursuant to this application through one or more wells, including any supplemental or replacement wells, constructed on the Subject Property or the Adjacent Property. iv. Vested or conditionally decreed rights of others will not be materially injured by the withdrawals of the groundwater described herein; and v. No findings of diligence are required to maintain these water rights.
