He resigned while on leave, citing personal and family matters.

“The investigator found that the complaint was made in good faith, but that there was no policy violation,” a district statement said.

Tucker provided a statement via text message saying he supports investigating all claims of workplace discrimination “fully and promptly.”

Campaign contributions to candidates vying for two seats on the Douglas County Board of Commissioners already total more than 10 times the amount contributed in 2016, with tens of thousands of dollars coming from out-of-state sources, according to a Colorado Community Media analysis of campaign finance reports.

By the end of the 2016 election cycle, $52,234 had been contributed to the four candidates on the general election ballot in the races for the District 2 and District 3 seats. That figure excludes nearly $113,000 in loans that District 3 winner Lora Thomas gave to herself that year.

In this year’s two races, through Oct. 8, a total of more than $560,000 had been contributed to the two Democrats and two Republicans on the ballot.

In the District 2 race, Democrat Lisa Neal-Graves and Republican George Teal are neck and neck in terms of contributions, with NealGraves outraising Teal $128,316 to

County proposes that state add ‘severity index’ for tracking COVID-19 The proposal is part of the county’s new mitigation plan for pandemic

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As part of a plan to reduce COVID-19 infections, Douglas County has proposed a new way for the state to track transmissions of the virus.

The “severity metric” would serve as a two-tier measure, factoring in both incidence rates and hospitalization incidence rates to determine how many restrictions a county should have in place.

At present, the state considers incidence rates, test positivity rates and whether or not hospitalizations are increasing in a county when looking at if a state should be in one of five phases, including the “Safer at Home” and “Protect Our Neighbors” phases. Douglas County is currently in the “Level 1 Safer at Home” phase, according to the state’s dial framework.

Dr. John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, helped develop the severity metric, which he said makes more sense to him because it looks at the magnitude of case increases.

“Douglas County right now is an outlier in that hospitalizations rates are starting to go up across the state … so far that’s not really happening in Douglas County,” Douglas said. “To me, (the metric) allowed reality to be part of the process.”

Tri-County Health Department is based in Greenwood Village. The health department serves Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

If the state decides to include the metric moving forward it will work like this: Counties with both an incidence rate of up to 100 cases per 100,000 residents and a two-week hospitlization rate of six or less will be able to enter the “Protect Our Neighbors” phase, which is the most lenient phase.

If the county has an incidence rate of 125 cases per 100,000 residents and a two-week hospitlization rate of three or less, it can also enter the “Protect Our Neighbors” phase.

Counties will remain in level “Safer at Home Level 1” if the incidence rate

is 125 per 100,000 people and the twoweek hospitalization rate is six or less.

They will also remain in that level if their incidence rate is up to 150 and the two-week hospitalizations is three or less.

The proposal is a part of the county’s latest mitigation plan, which it was required to create after cases began to increase in the county. The document, released Oct. 12, also includes plans for continued COVID-19 testing and increased public education messages about masking, hand washing and other means to decrease the spread of the disease.

Douglas said he hopes to see the severity metric adopted by the state.

“A statewide severity adjusted metric would be useful,” he said. “Ideally, I’d like to see them consider this more broadly.”

County Commissioner Roger Partridge added that when he’s spoken to other commissioners in the state, he’s gotten feedback that other counties would also like to see this measure put in place.

“I think there needs to be an emphasis on severity,” he said. “It’s time for the government to adapt and pay attention to the severity as a metric so we can provide the public with the best possible direction.”

Douglas said he believes the recent surge in cases is in part due to private gatherings at people’s homes.

“We know you’re sick and tired of COVID,” he said. “It’s still really important that you do these things … your health, your family’s health, your community’s health and your community’s capacity to … remain open, depends on this.”

Douglas County votes to continue SRO contract The agreement allows for 20 school resource officers

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County commissioners have voted to continue their costsharing contract that provides school resource officers to the county’s public schools.

The 2020-21 contract will allow for one sergeant, one corporal, 20 SROs and one Youth Education and Safety in Schools, or YESS, officer, throughout the district.

Lt. Robert Rotherham, of the sheriff ’s office, presented the proposal to commissioners. Rotherham said the county has been providing SROs in schools since at least 2003.

SROs have become a topic of interest in the Denver metro area this year as Denver Public Schools decided to remove the service. Commissioner Roger Partridge said during the Oct. 13 meeting that from what he’s heard, Douglas County residents are grateful the county hasn’t followed suit. He said he hasn’t heard any complaints.

“What I do hear is ‘thank you so much for giving security to the families and the school children.’ It’s a really heartfelt thanks to them,” he said.

In Douglas County, focus on school safety became enhanced in 2019 after a shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch left one student dead and eight others injured.

“In light of all we have going on this year, we reflect a lot upon the endeavors of last year with regards to school security,” Commissioner Abe Laydon said in the meeting. “Having the opportunity to tour Douglas County schools … It was an incredible honor for me to see the impact they have.”

Rotherham mentioned that he was a responding deputy to the STEM School shooting.

“I want to say thank you for the collaboration and support of the board in many ways in helping with our response and the aftermath,” Rotherham said.

After the shooting, the board allocated $10 million to school safety.

“I know we and the citizens really appreciate all the efforts the sheriff ’s office puts into protecting any child (and) any school-aged children in Douglas County,” Partridge said.

businesses were forced to shut down by the novel coronavirus.

“We were just starting to get our feet on the ground,” she said.

The shop relied on online sales as it kept doors closed for weeks and then began allowing in-person shopping on a part-time basis as society reopened. Now back in full swing, Tien said business has been strong.

She’s grateful to be located across from the popular Festival Park and is looking forward to serving customers during the holidays, bringing in specialty gift items.

“A lot of people were glad that we were here when stores could reopen,” she said.

Next door, Randy Taplin manages the Rocket Fizz Soda Pop & Candy Shop, which opened in June. Taplin also said their location in the Riverwalk building is a huge asset.

“It’s been a crazy house,” he said. “The foot traffic here is just huge.”

Based on conversations with customers, Taplin has had the impression many people are choosing to shop local, he said.

“I really just hope it keeps going,” he said.

Down the street, Brandon Cant sat at the bar in the restaurant he co-owns, The Backyard. The bar and grill opened in late September.

“It’s been a whirlwind of emotions,” Cant said.

Fun, exciting, challenging — all words came to mind when Cant thought about opening The Backyard.

The location’s seating is mostly outside, he said, which has helped the business maintain COVID-19 precautions. Cant said he has always known Castle Rock to be a community that supports local businesses.

“Supporting local is huge,” he said.

A teacher at STEM School Highlands Ranch is one of three grand prize winners from a pool of 600 applicants to win a $100,000 award from the Harbor Freight Tools for Schools prize program.

Engineering teacher Mike Shallenberger was surprised with the news on Oct. 14. Representatives of Harbor Freight and STEM School presented Shallenberger with a check and new toolbox outside his home in Highlands Ranch.

Of the award dollars, $70,000 will go toward skilled trades programs at STEM School and $30,000 to Shallenberger.

“Thank you. This is crazy. I normally don’t win a lot of things, honestly,” Shallenberger said after the reveal.

“This is an honor.”

Shallenberger said he hopes to buy his students a robotic arm with the funds.

The machine has been on his wish list for two years. Experience with the robotic arm could make students more competitive for internships and help them get industry certifications while still in high school.

But the robotic arm can cost tens of thousands of dollars, far more than what the average school budget can accommodate. With the prize money in hand, Shallenberger said he can start shopping.

As for the $30,000 he gets to keep, Shallenberger plans to pay someone other than him to work on his car for the first time in years, he said with a laugh.

Shallenberger’s 17-year-old son Henry is a student in the program and said the robotic arm will allow students to get direct experience with industry tools.

“I think it’s sick,” Henry said. “I think it’s very deserved. It’s a great program and it will be great to have

The award is meant to honor excellence in skilled trades education, Scott Springer said, an education consultant for Harbor Freight.

This year’s applicants went through three rounds of judging from a panel of industry, education, trades, philanthropy and civic leadership experts.

Shallenberger is a 21-year teaching veteran. He designed a program called Career Discovery with local industry experts that offers students tours of area businesses and helps coordinate paid internships.

Through the program, high school students can earn their associate degree, tuition-free. The program also sets students up to earn industry certifications in robotics, programming, mechatronics and mechanical design.

Brian Manley, an automotive technology teacher at Cherry Creek Innovation Campus, also won one of the three grand prize grants. Harbor Freight Tools for Schools is awarding a total of $1 million in prizes to 18 teachers nationwide.

The program began in 2017. The award program is meant to honor excellence in skilled trades education, according to a release from Harbor Freight.

STEM School Executive Director Dr. Penny Eucker said she was proud of Shallenberger and grateful to Harbor Freight for helping prepare students for their futures.

CAMPAIGN FROM PAGE 1

$128,263 — a difference of $53 — according to the round of campaign finance reports turned in by Oct. 13.

In past elections, Democrats running for county commissioner have not been competitive in their fundraising efforts, according to the past 18 years of finance reports.

Four years ago, the two Democrats running for commissioner combined to raise less than $4,000. Neal-Graves Teal says the difference this time is the influence of out-of-state interests.

“There’s a lot of money coming from around the country that’s being funneled to my opponent,” he said. “This is a nationwide campaign Teal that I find myself in.”

About a quarter of Neal-Graves’ contributions have come from out-of-state donors, according to finance reports, which are available on the secretary of state’s TRACER website, Reynolds tracer.sos.colorado.gov.

That includes nearly 200

contributors from across the country.

Neal-Graves said these donations are all from communities she once lived in or from people who are members of the same non-political organizations in which she’s also involved.

“These are all my friends, they’re all people who support me,” she said. “I’ve poured into their lives and they’re using this opportunity to pour into our lives here in Douglas County.”

Teal’s campaign also has benefited from Thomas non-Coloradans, with six donors contributing $13,635, a little more than 10% of his total contributions.

Also in District 2, Libertarian Victoria Reynolds has raised $7,730.

In the District 3 race, Thomas, the Republican Wilson incumbent, has outraised her Democratic opponent, Darien Wilson, by about $64,000 — $186,499 to $122,305. In this race, about 5% of donations have come from outside Colorado for both candidates.

All three current commissioners are Republicans, and the two races in 2016 were won by members of the GOP with about two-thirds of the vote.

Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You?

by Matt Witt

N

ow that you are retired, are you finding yourself struggling to make ends meet on a fixed-income? Did you know a reverse mortgage might be the solution you need to get your financial stress lifted and allow yourself the breathing room you deserve?

With a government-insured reverse mortgage, you can eliminate your monthly mortgage payment.* Like so many seniors right here in Colorado have discovered, the money you receive is tax-free cash to use for any purpose you choose.

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 can only be accessed if you sell. With a reverse mortgage, you can access a portion of the equity in your home while you continue to own and live in your 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.

Tax question on ballot could be far-reaching While amount would be minuscule for each person, overall total would ding state budget

one of the nation’s lower tax burdens.

(For the 2019 tax year, due in 2020, the state’s rate was temporarily lowered to 4.5% because the state exceeded the revenue limits set by the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights in the 2018-19 fiscal year. But for the 2020 tax year it will return to the standard 4.63% rate — unless Proposition 116 is approved.)

Income tax accounts for the bulk of the discretionary spending in the state budget and goes into what’s known as the general fund. In fiscal year 2018-19 the state collected $9.2 billion, according to a legislative analysis.

Colorado lawmakers apportion the general fund spending each year in the state budget process with health care and other safety net programs and education consuming the bulk of discretionary spending. For the current 2020-21 fiscal year, the two areas consumed 74% of the general fund budget.

BY JOHN FRANK THE COLORADO SUN

A measure on the 2020 ballot in Colorado proposes a permanent cut to the state’s income tax rate that would give the average taxpayer a $37 break annually.

The limited-government conservatives and Republican lawmakers backing Proposition 116 say the tax relief comes at a crucial moment amid the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus. The measure would reduce the current 4.63% income tax rate on individuals and corporations to 4.55%.

“The simple truth is, Proposition 116 is a mild but much-needed tax cut for all taxpayers at a time when Coloradans could use the boost wherever they can get it,” said Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg, a Republican from Sterling and author of the measure.

billions from the state budget.

“We need more flexibility and creativity for our state budget, not something that will constrain the state budget even further — our students deserve better,” said Amie BacaOehlert, the president of the state’s teachers union, expressing opposition to Proposition 116 and Proposition 117 limiting government fees.

The competing arguments about the benefits for individuals and corporations and the costs at the collective level define the debate on Proposition 116 ahead of the November election.

But the measure’s opponents say the timing is a major reason to forgo the modest tax break — because it would reduce state tax revenues by more than $150 million at the same time Colorado lawmakers are cutting

What you need to know Here’s how income taxes work in Colorado and how they are spent: Colorado is one of 43 states that levy individual income taxes and one of nine with a flat tax, according to the Tax Foundation. The state taxes 4.63% of federal taxable income, which ranks among the lowest income tax rates in the nation.

When it comes to overall individual local and state tax burden, the foundation’s analysis finds Colorado ranks 15th in the nation. The study found that businesses fare much better with

What an income tax cut would mean For individuals and corporations, the amount of the break from the 1.7% reduction in the state’s income tax rate depends on income levels.

On average, individuals would pay $37 less in income taxes, according to legislative analysts. The savings for someone with $25,000 in taxable income would be about $20 while those with taxable income of $1 million would save $800.

What lower income taxes would mean The reduction in the income tax rate would reduce revenue into the general fund by 1.2%. That amounts to $154 million less for state lawmakers to spend in its first full year, official estimates show. The annual financial impact of a lower income tax rate would increase as the state’s economy and workforce grows.

The opponents say that’s no small sum, particularly when Colorado lawmakers were forced to cut $3 billion in discretionary spending earlier this year as the coronavirus pinched state revenues in the prior and current fiscal years. The state may need to cut as much as $1.6 billion in the next SEE TAX, P19

Parker daycare provider arrested in infant death Amanda Anderson, 34, received seven cease-and-desist letters

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Paid for by Friends to Elect Darien Wilson, Registered Agent: Darien Wilson

A Douglas County woman has been arrested in connection with the death of a 3-month-old child at the woman’s inhome daycare.

Amanda Anderson, 34, runs a daycare business out of her home in unincorporated Douglas County, Anderson just west of Parker, according to a news release from the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office Oct. 13.

DCSO deputies were dispatched to a medical assist at 2:28 p.m. By

the time deputies had arrived, South Metro Fire Rescue responders transported the baby to a nearby hospital. The baby was unconscious and not breathing, according to the DCSO release, and she was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Anderson is being charged with child abuse resulting in death, a class 2 felony.

Anderson received seven ceaseand-desist orders from the Colorado Department of Human Services, the release states, five of which were issued prior to the infant’s death.

Deputies arrested Anderson shortly before 4:30 p.m. Oct. 13, and she was booked into the Douglas County jail.

She was being held on $50,000 bond.

The letters issued by CDHS stated Anderson illegally operated a daycare at her home for four years. The first of the seven letters is dated Sept. 16, 2016.

The investigation is still active, the release states, and no further information was available.

For curly bulbs, there’s no light at the end of the tunnel

ne of our curly light bulbs burned out. Realizing I didn’t have a replacement, I went to a hardware store. They were out of curly light bulbs too.

QUIET “Yes, we’re out.”

DESPERATION “For how long?”

“Forever.”

Where was I (four years ago) when GE and others decided they would no longer manufacture compact fluorescent bulbs (CFB)?

And why didn’t I know CFB use Craig Marshall dangerous chemicals Smith such as mercury to generate power?

We’re back, as everyone but me must have noticed, to the old design, only with more efficient (and expensive) light emitting diode (LED) bulbs.

Cartoonists are relieved. For years

cartoonists have drawn a light bulb over someone’s head when they had an idea.

In other words, “the light went on.”

A curly bulb was 55% more difficult to draw.

Harry and I rely on electricity. We don’t camp, for one thing. Or purposely shut off the power for another.

When there is an outage we manage, but we wouldn’t be able to for very long.

This column would never happen if we lost electrical power. And I couldn’t listen to Yo-Yo Ma’s cello purring from my computer’s playlist.

You can visit Edison’s laboratory, the one where he tested more than 3,000 light bulb designs between 1878 and 1880 before getting it right.

The laboratory was located in Menlo Park, New Jersey, but a wealthy automobile manufacturer had it moved to Dearborn, Michigan, along with the Wright Brothers’ Dayton, Ohio, bicycle shop.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support Tri-County In July of this year, the Douglas County commissioners sent a letter to Tri-County Health Department with the intention of ending their 50 year partnership in order to establish their own health department for the county. The impetus for this were orders issued by the health department during the COVID-19 pandemic to which they were opposed. To date, there has been no definitive plan presented to TCHD as to how and when this may occur. In the meantime, TCHD has to set budgets and attend to critical priorities with the eventuality of Douglas County’s departure still pending.

Currently, Douglas County per capita for many services rendered is $7. In a previous study looking at the feasibility of establishing a standalone health department for the county, it was estimated cost per capita would be in the neighborhood of $40 — a clear example of economy of scale for a current population of 370,000 persons.

No doubt, dealing with a pandemic has made for some very difficult decisions but they have been done in the best interests of all three counties. TCHD and the board of health are independent agencies by statute and cannot and should not be governed or influenced by political decisions.

If Douglas County is to continue to benefit fully as a member of TCHD, protecting the health of our citizens, then let your voices be heard in support of remaining in partnership SEE LETTERS, P11

The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village next to it are highly recommended. Both were closed for 16 weeks and they’re facing “unprecedented financial challenges” like so many are.

The Museum and Village are enormous; one or the other a day is suggested.

Edison acquired 1,093 patents, a record. I applied for one.

My invention was a new kind of smoke alarm. It didn’t chirp and make you want to take a hammer to it like all of the others do.

No. Instead a small, colorful, plastic bird dropped out and whistled the first six bars of “Where or When.”

Currently available smoke alarms go off in the middle of the night. Just as bad, it takes forever to figure out which one it is.

With mine all you had to do was look for the bird, change the battery, and shove the bird back into its little compartment.

Unfortunately, I ran into some problems with the prototypes. Several of the birds short circuited and caught on fire.

I wish I had invented the cardboard box, among other innovations.

They’re always in demand, versatile, reusable and inexpensive to make.

How many do you have in your basement or attic right this minute?

Maybe you’ve heard of Amazon?

They ship 1,600,000 packages. A day.

Not all of them are cardboard boxes, but most of them are.

The first cardboard box was invented in England in 1817, but it wasn’t corrugated. In 1895, corrugated cardboard boxes were produced in America for the first time and were an instant success.

Humble as they are, they’re undeniably perfect. Unlike my smoke alarm.

The piercing chirp of a conventional smoke alarm sends Harry flying out SEE SMITH, P11

Why these times are the times to remember

here are certainly plenty of reasons for us to want 2020 to be a distant memory. The pandemic, the heartache of lives lost, the impact it had on our family and friends who suffered and recovered, and the economic burden and stress the pandemic created for so many WINNING individuals and businesses.

WORDS Layer on top of the pandemic: social unrest gripping our country, a very heated and contentious election year, one of the busiest hurricane seasons on record that left a wake of devastaMichael Norton tion, and hundreds of wildfires that burned out of control bringing more death and destruction. It’s no wonder why many are hoping Jan. 1, 2021 gets here sooner rather than later.

There were some very real and horrific events that took place this year. The losses, hurt, damage, chaos and confusion. Each one has been unnerving and unsettling, to say the least. And as with any event or season of life, the hope is that we will take something away from the experiences, even the pain. That we will learn from the failures and the mistakes that we made along the way.

That we will not only learn, but that we will make the changes and adjustments that will bring lasting change,

greater opportunities, a sense of calm, healing and hope, and a kinder society.

As I was taking a drive this past weekend, I heard Billy Joel’s song, “This is the Time.” As I reflected on the song lyrics, I thought, “Why is this the time to remember?” Then my thinking shifted. The song released in 1986 has nothing, and yet everything, to do with 2020. So, I challenged myself to try and think of why this would be a time to remember, even though we want it to be over.

The lyrics that really captured my attention were these, “This is the time to remember ‘Cause it will not last forever These are the days to hold onto ‘Cause we won’t, although we’ll want to” It’s a reflective and touching song that reminds us that there are parts of our life that we should be remembering, even now, and that there are people in our life that are important to us today and in all of our tomorrows as well.

There were family members, friends, and neighbors who were married. There were babies and grandbabies born into our families.

There were celebrations of life that gave us an opportunity to grieve, mourn, and lovingly remember those closest to us who had passed. There were more virtual calls with family and friends that would have never taken place in prior years. There was a sense of community connection and reaching out, with people help-

ing wherever they could. Initially, as the events of 2020 unfolded, we may have all had a reality check or perhaps been frozen with fear. But what I am hearing most about today, is resiliency and courage in the face of it all.

The year 2020 will indeed pass us by. For some, it will be goodbye and good riddance. And for others, we will look back on Dec. 31 and be reminded of how we personally handled the events of 2020. And when we do, we will look back on how we personally participated in 2020. We will ask ourselves things like: Was I helpful? Did I actively participate in the service of others? Did my voice add value to the conversation? Did my character remain intact? Did I avoid the blame game? Maybe, and most importantly, did I vote? Because one day in the future, as we look back on 2020 and how we remember it, will be dependent on how we worked, lived, and succeeded through it all.

How about you? Is this the time to remember? Was there a particular event that impacted you more than others? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com.

And when we can focus on this time, it just might be a time to remember, because it will not last forever, really making this a better than good week.

Marsha Jaroch Lone Tree (board of health member for Douglas County) Paulette Joswick Castle Rock (board of health member for Douglas County) Keep GOP in charge of county Why would we want to change the party leadership of one of the best counties in the country? That’s a key question we should ask ourselves this election.

Douglas County is consistently recognized as having one of the best quality-of-life environments in the country.

For example, we were recently ranked the second healthiest community in the nation and the healthiest county in Colorado (for the fifth straight year)

by U.S. News! Their rankings were based on ten comprehensive factors including infrastructure, economic performance, and public safety. We know Douglas County is great—that’s why we choose to live here! And it’s great largely because it’s communitydriven and Republican-led.

For many decades, we’ve elected Republican leadership for Douglas County and those principles are at the heart of our community — such as low taxes, a welcoming business climate, freedom of choice, and respect for our police. Leadership that serves the people, not the other way around.

Those principles help create the quality of life that we love here.

But first you need to see where you stand on income, expenses, taxes and goal planning.

Next take a deeper look at taxes.

Hopefully, you have filed your 2019 tax return by now, and you immediately get to turn around and address 2020 taxes. There are only a few months left to take advantage of year-end tax planning such as: • Maximize your 401(k) plan contributions at work • Fund your self-employment fund for earned income this year • Pay your estimated taxes if needed • Look at your portfolio and tax loss harvest or realize gains while you are in a low bracket • Consider Roth conversions if you are in a low bracket this year, or if you believe taxes will increase.

Don’t forget about open enroll-

the Douglas County races to change these guiding principles. As they’ve done in Denver and elsewhere, they’d bring more intrusive government, less choice, and higher taxes--a lower quality of life to our county. Do we want that?

In these uncertain times, let’s preserve and continue improving what makes Douglas County great! Let’s continue voting for those Republican principles at the heart of our community.

Stephanie Gresh Castle Rock Steer clear of Prop 2A Castle Pines has a problem with decaying streets due to poor initial design, the stress of overweight vehicles, too much winter salting, and just the age of the streets. The city council’s proposal for new taxes totaling $60 million is the wrong solution. Half of the $60 million goes to financial fees and interest rather than roads. That alone appears to be poor stewardship of the city’s funds.

At the same time the city is moving forward, without voter approval, on a new $5 million city hall. The project is being rushed to be done before the next council election in November 2021. The $5 million should go to roads not a new city hall!

As one of the city founders who developed the initial fiscal plans, I helped set up a tax available for this with Question 2E, approved 2 to 1 in 2007. The promise we made was that incorporating a city would not mean higher property taxes, so a reduction of taxes elsewhere was needed.

With the past and coming reduction in taxes from the Castle Pines North Metro District, Question 2E can kick in and provide funds for roads.

ment at work or for Medicare. Once you have your plan updated, it should provide clarity around what benefits you need.

Estate and elder care planning are also important pieces of your financial picture that often get pushed to the back burner. Review your estate documents, health care agent and financial power of attorney. Verify your beneficiaries on all of your accounts, including your bank accounts. Did you purchase something this year outside of your trust or your will? Property, vehicles and collectibles all need to be identified in your estate planning documents to ensure proper passing of ownership. This is also a good time to determine if you have the right insurance coverage for your household items, such as artwork, jewelry, antiques and collectibles.

Review your elder care plan with your family members. Do you have proper insurance or family support?

Have you made your wishes known and do you know the wishes of your parents? There may be little or no warning when extra care is needed so it is important to have a plan in place.

Finally assess your current port-

folio and see if it still addresses your goals. Determine if you are on track for retirement, travel, large purchases, education funding and other significant wishes. Revisit your risk tolerance for expected volatility in the coming weeks and months. Keep your eye on the long-term strategy to avoid making emotional decisions in the short term that may derail your goals over time.

Don’t wait for things to happen to you, take a proactive view of where you are and keep your house in order. This will help you adjust as needed once you have a solid plan in place.

Keeping Halloween happy SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

Holiday activities can still happen — but will likely need to look different

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

n a year that has already offered far too many tricks and too few treats, Halloween looms like a rotting jack-o’-lantern left out a week too long.

What has traditionally been a time of anticipation, fun, and friendly seasonal spookiness is now a source of uncertainty, worry and perhaps fear as people bemoan the potential loss of another cherished ritual and wonder whether trick-or-treating and other festivities can be safe and sensible this year (and what they will tell their kids if they aren’t).

Into the witchy brew that is a tired nation wondering whether haunted houses and candy corn will be the next casualties of the COVID-19 horror show (and all just before Election Day 2020, no less) have stepped several local medical experts who say that Halloween fun is still possible, but warn that it will require an adjustment in expectations and more pre-planning and flexibility than in a typical year.

“It can be a little different this year for Halloween 2020 but it can still be fun,” said Chris Nyquist, the Medical Director of Infection Prevention and Control at Children’s Hospital Colorado. “And planning ahead is really important.”

During a virtual press conference on Halloween safety, Nyquist offered several ideas for how area families can modify trick-or-treating to make it into a safer activity with a focus on reducing the amount of contact kids and their families would have with other people as they trick-or-treat.

Those ideas include communicating with neighbors ahead of time around hygiene practices and making a plan to limit trick-or-treating to those neighbors who have agreed to follow safe distancing and hygiene practices.

“It’s that creativity that kids love with the whole idea of Halloween and what it means to them,” said Nyquist. “Is there a way to have a large tube that the candy comes down and they catch the candy so we can keep

a safe distance?’

Rachel Herlihy, the state epidemiologist with the Colorado Department of Health and Environment, said families whose children are participating in school or home-learning pods or cohorts could also coordinate together for celebrations that would reduce risk because those kids have already been exposed to one another.

Herlihy said her own 9-year-old daughter will be participating in such a celebration with parents heading to a local park to hide candy for their kids to find.

“It’s going to be a cross between Easter and Halloween with a Halloween candy hunt in the park and then we will spend some time in our yard having a little bit of a celebration afterwards with just the small group of kids she is routinely in contact with,” said Herlihy.

Trick-or-treating isn’t the only Halloween activity that will require some rethinking to be done safely this year.

Tips from a pro Eric France, the chief medical officer at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said those planning to organize Halloween parties or visit haunted attractions or corn mazes should consider public health guidelines and how to reduce the spread.

“We want to focus on doing as many activities outdoors as possible,” said France. “Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, we know how to do these things in the safe way. Haunted houses might need to be transformed into haunted forests or other outdoor events as possible.”

Those organizing such events should also utilize strategies to implement one directional flow of participants and encourage mask wearing, he said.

Although most indoor haunted houses in the metro area are on hiatus this year, The 13th Floor in Commerce City is open after implementing several procedures and protocols intended to increase safety.

The owners of the 13th Floor declined to be interviewed for this story and instead directed Colorado Commu-

nity Media to their Scary Safe webpage, which details precautions ranging from limited attendance to requiring payments be made with credit cards.

“The nature of a haunted house is all about physical distancing; it always has been, it’s what we do normally,” reads a statement on the website. “The attractions are linear and very seldom would you ever come within 6 feet of other patrons. We do everything we can to make you feel ‘alone.’ But this year, we’re going above and beyond our normally safe and distanced methods of operation, and taking it to the next level.”

Check in advance Regardless of whether one plans on attending a family gathering or a pumpkin patch, France recommended getting in touch with the organizers to find out what precautions will be taken.

France said Colorado residents should also consider where their counties rate on the state’s new COVID dial when planning activities — and said the decision about what is safe should depend in part on where counties fall.

For example, those who live in communities rated as “high risk” should consider activities like a costume parade with predetermined routes to ensure safe distancing is maintained between participants or a driving tour of yard decorations while a small get-together of family or close friends could be doable in counties that are on safer-at-home level 1.

“Our approach to celebration should really be tuned into the dial,” said France.

Ideas for safe activities for each phase of the dial can be found at covid19. colorado.gov/halloween-tips-and-tricks.

Residents can view their county’s level at covid19.colorado.gov/data/covid19-dial/covid-19-dial-dashboard.

But regardless of where a county falls on the dial, France said it is important for those celebrating Halloween to follow basic health guidelines, such as wearing masks, frequently washing hands and not participating in any social activities if one is sick.

STAYING SAFE Here are some other general guidelines and tips for Halloween safety compiled from information released

by CDPHE, the CDC and Jefferson County Public Health.

Trick-or-treating • Stay in your neighborhood (the fewer houses you visit the safer you will be) • Avoid mingling with groups from other households.

• Keep your masks on — save the candy eating for home • If going door-todoor, limit the time spent at doorways Handing out candy • Wear a mask • Avoid contact as much as possible. For example, put out individual treat bags at the end of your driveway or yard’s edge that are easy to grab so kids don’t have to rummage through candy bowls.

You can also use a mug to scoop candy to avoid touching, or put out a tray with candy that is sanitized between groups.

• Greet trick-ortreaters from at least 6 feet away. Use tape to mark 6-foot spots for families to stand in while picking up their candy • Only use pre-packaged candy Parties • Wear masks at all times when within 6 feet of people who do not live in your household • Consider a small and short outdoor gathering — there is a

higher risk for transmission with more people and a longer event • Avoid self-serve table spreads • Keep a list of guests so they can be quickly informed in the event of COVID-19 positives Costumes • Costume masks are not a substitute for masks that protect against COVID-19 spread. Masks that protect against COVID-19 should be made from two or more breathable fabric layers that cover the nose and mouth, with no gaps around the face.

Wear non-costume masks when indoors with non-household contacts and outdoors whenever 6 feet of distance cannot be maintained.

• If wearing a costume mask over a cloth mask makes it hard to breathe, consider a Halloween-themed cloth mask as part of the costume instead.

• All children 3 years of age and older should wear a mask unless they cannot tolerate it.

Ideas for low-risk activities • Carving or decorating pumpkins with members of your household and displaying them • Having a virtual Halloween costume contest • Having a Halloween movie night inside your household • Having a Halloween scavenger hunt with members of your household

Novel explores life of complex character Stephanie Harper of Littleton area makes debut

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Inside my apartment, I have everything I need,” he says. That apartment is in downtown Denver in a familiar neighborhood ...

Agoraphobic Wesley Yorstead — the central character in the debut novel “Wesley Yorstead Goes Outside” by Littletonarea author Stephanie Harper — illustrates graphic novels, which he can readily do on his home computer, Harper drawing on artistic skills and an active imagination ...

His colorist, Rick, a longtime friend, comes by often to pick them up and complete the process for publication in graphic novels.

His neighborhood grocery store, Lafferty’s Neighborhood Market, employs a young man named Angel,

who food delivers weekly, responding to a quick phone order.

Wesley’s life is predictable and tidy, with everything in its proper place, so he feels safe and in control of his small world ... (He opened his window once ...)

He is haunted by witnessing a horrible crime scene, which has stayed with him.

“It’s midmorning on a Sunday in mid-September and the persistent knock on the door can only mean one thing: Angel’s arrived with my groceries.” Usually, Angel hands over his bags and he gives the blackhaired guy a check. Done and gone.

Wesley has his groceries to organize and shelve.

But instead, on that day, “a pale figure stands in the spot where Angel should be.”

She pushes past and sets groceries on the stainless counter — after first resting them on the dirty floor in the hall. It’s Mr. Lafferty’s slender red-haired daughter, Happy, who explains that Angel’s grandma is ill and he is caring for her ... A quick verification call to Happy’s dad is necessary for comfort.

“Not much for decorating,” she

observes after looking around, focusing on the art print of a Wassily Kandinsky painting.

She imagines that he produces comic books like “Batman,” rather than the illustrated classics he actually does. (His current project is actually “To Kill a Mockingbird.”)

To his horror, she plops on the sofa to visit!

By page 20, the reader can imagine where this might go, but Harper’s storytelling style — and the dialogue she creates — keeps one involved and entertained to the end, when things are actually going quite well for our hero.

Happy feels comfortable in the middle of Wesley’s terrain and asks: “Do you think I could borrow one of your books? I’d really like to read the `Hamlet’ one,” which he’d showed her with trepidation. Might she perhaps dogear a corner or smudge a page?

He agrees and she returns it later in fine shape — whew!

In the meantime, her presence and scent linger in his apartment — plus a few red hairs on the sofa ...

He wonders if she ever feels the frantic way he does?? His new

drawings reflect Happy. Lovely women who may populate the current book project. His friend Rick, who colors his work — and appreciates pretty women — is intrigued and teases.

Then she appears on a non-grocery evening, with a movie to share with him, plus a bottle of wine.

Wesley fills the reader in with bits about his struggle with mental illness: “I started having night terrors when I was five.” He’d wake up screaming and his mother would come to soothe him — but not his father ... These have translated to adult panic attacks. And full-fledged resistance to any unnecessary risk outside his space.

A sympathetic reader is intrigued and optimistic that perhaps there is a possibility for recovery, as he is able to help Happy deal with a difficult situation out of her past.

Upbeat conclusion here.

Harper’s previous creation was a collection of poems: “Sermon Series.” We’ll be interested to see what happens next ...

Look for “Wesley Yorstead Goes Outside” at your library or bookstore!

All the flavors to entice kids.

All the nicotine to keep them hooked.

E-cigarette makers and vape shops are enticing kids with flavors like cotton candy, gummy bear and bubble gum. And nationally, over 5 million kids are using these flavored e-cigarettes.

Vape shops and tobacco companies say their products aren’t ending up in kids’ hands, but that’s just not true. Many retailers still sell to minors, and many of them in Denver even illegally sold products during the COVID-19 shutdown violating emergency orders.

Let’s stop pretending vape shops and the industry care about public health or the health of our children. It’s time to stop the sale of flavored tobacco products to protect our kids.

Take action now by visiting FlavorsHookKidsDenver.org to tell your City Council Members to end the sale of all flavored tobacco products, including e-cigarettes.

ABOUT LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

FROM PAGE 11

So why now a new tax in 2A with hefty fees and interest? And, why a new tax when a $5 million city hall project is being rushed to avoid voter input? We need to do better!

When Castle Pines voters receive their ballots, go to the last page and fill in “No” under the 2A question.

Doug Gilbert Castle Pines Learn about Electoral College In response to Douglas Willey’s recent letter regarding the Electoral College: Mr. Willey suggests that the Electoral College should be modified “for no other reason than voters don’t understand it.” By that logic, Mr. Willey should not use a microwave or a cellphone or fly in an airplane unless he can describe the details of their functioning. We use things all the time that we don’t understand.

The real problem Mr. Willey needs to address is why voters don’t understand the Electoral College, and that, my friends, lies solely in the hands of the liberal teachers and parents who have failed to instruct our youth in civics, duty to country and basic understanding of our government and the Constitution.

The forefathers had extreme foresight in designing the Electoral College, almost prophetic. Without the Electoral College, five cities in the East and five cities in the West would decide our president (I am being generous with five on each coast). Any voter earnest about understanding the Electoral College should look it up—Google is something I use yet do not understand!

Creek, Vista set pace at state cross country Powerhouse teams from last year come back with strong performances

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was a banner day for Cherry Creek on Oct. 17 at the state cross country championships but Mountain Vista also proved it is still a team to be watched.

Bruins senior Parker Wolfe won the Class 5A state title with a course record time of 15:10.4 at the Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs. Wolfe bettered the record of 15:12 set by Valor Christian’s Cole Sprout last season.

Creek junior Riley Stewart captured the 5A girls individual title with a winning time of 17:33.8. Cherry Creek’s girls team, second for the past two season, won the team crown and Mountain Vista’s boys team, second in 2019, won its sixth overall state championship.

“It was a pretty good day for us,” said Cherry Creek coach Ethan Dusto. “We’ve been working hard since March. The boys really put in together and the five of these girls were second last year and they really wanted it.

“Parker and Riley had targets on their back all year. It kept them motivated. I know with Parker it was about

The Mountain Vista boys won the Class 5A team championship at the state cross country meet. It was Vista’s sixth boys team state championship.

PHOTO BY JIM BENTON being able to set the record here. He knew what he wanted and went after it. It’s so difficult when you have had some success and the pressure to repeat keeps coming up. I was impressed they were able to handle it and did a great job.”

Wolfe had COVID-19 in July before the start of the season but was healthy enough to run in the Heritage Distance Classic (formerly the Liberty Bell) on Sept. 13 and beat the previous record set by Sprout with a nation’s best time of 14:30.

He and Sprout trained together last summer “I’ve been back to the doctor a

couple times,” said Wolfe. “I’m pretty much back to normal and healthy again. I didn’t know how it would affect my lungs and all that. Coming into the season my goal was to get to the Liberty Bell, get that time and make sure my lungs were still there and that happened. I’m pretty happy to set the (state) course record. I never thought I would be here. My freshman year I was a 4-foot-10 and a 95-pound scrawny kid.”

Stewart’s race was like the one run

by Wolfe. Both Creek runners put plenty of distance between them and the rest of the competitors.

“It’s just amazing to get the team

and individual titles,” said Stewart.

“This was the best day ever. For Parker to come out on top, he’s been working so hard for it and we have all been working hard. I was just trying to go hard the whole race and I wasn’t really focusing on what was going on behind. I was just looking at myself.”

The other scoring runners besides Stewart for the Cherry Creek girls team were Shelby Balding, Addison Price, Addison Laughlin and Claire Semerod as the Bruins finished with 42 points.

Defending state champion Arapahoe was second behind Creek with 82 points. Valor Christian was third (90), Mountain Vista fourth (103) and Cherokee Trail fifth (130).

In 5A girls individual race, Cameron McConnell of Cherokee Trail was second behind Stewart with a time of 18:00.50. Ava Mitchell of Arapahoe ran fourth (18:13.20), Balding was fifth (18:20.60), Taylor Whitfield of Valor Christian sixth (18:20.70), Valor’s Brooke Wilson seventh (18:28.10) and Emily Lamontogne of Arapahoe eighth (18:34.30).

Mountain Vista’s boys team had 80 points to outdistance second place Chaparral (124) in the 5A boys team race. Valor Christian was fourth (147), Rock Canyon seventh (195) and Creek tenth (221).

Ty Garrett of Valor Christian was eighth in the individual standings with a time of 16:06.30 and Jayden Nats was Mountain Vista’s top runner in 10th place (16:14.00).

TAX FROM PAGE 8

year and $2.2 billion the following year as demands for state services increase, even though state economists are predicting a touch better fiscal outlook.

If the measure is successful, the reductions in spending would most likely come from human services and education because they are the bulk of the general fund spending.

Who’s supporting Proposition 116 The measure initially was considered as an alternative to an initiative that envisioned an overhaul of the state’s tax system but the latter failed to make the ballot.

Sonnenberg ran a similar bill in the 2020 legislative session to reduce the income tax rate to 4.49%, but it was defeated by the Democratic-controlled state Senate. He paired with the limited-government Independent Institute’s Jon Caldara to push the ballot question.

Supporters argue that the recent increase in the size of the state budget — driven by a strong economy and population growth — is reason enough to use a tax cut to slow spending. Moreover, they point to recent fee increases and Democraticled legislation approved this year that removed four tax breaks to generate an additional $100 million in state tax revenue for the current fiscal year.

“It only brings back a little of what has already been taken,” Caldara argued at a recent debate on the measure hosted by PBS12 and The Colorado Sun. “We have paid for this tax cut, this tiny tax cut, time and time again.”

Breaking from his party, Gov. Jared

Polis has long supported a reduction in the state’s income tax, but he wanted to keep it revenue-neutral by removing certain tax breaks. The offsets between the tax bill he signed into law and the ballot measures are not even, but Polis recently expressed support for the intent of the ballot measure.

“We’ve long sought an income tax decrease,” Polis told The Colorado Sun. “We obviously preferred that it was revenue neutral. But particularly in this challenging time, I think Coloradans certainly need tax relief.”

Who opposes Proposition 116 The opposition to the measure is broad-based and includes Democratic state lawmakers, the teachers union and health care advocates, and rural civic organizations such as Club 20 in Grand Junction.

The shared sentiment among them is that the state can’t afford a tax cut now. “What you’ll get with $37 (average tax break) is school cuts, broken infrastructure and an underfunded state,” Bell Policy Center President Scott Wasserman said during the ballot debate.

In addition, liberal advocacy organizations that are eyeing broader changes in the future to create a tiered tax structure and increase income taxes on the wealthy believe this moves the state in the wrong direction.

“At the end of the day,” Wasserman said, “cutting $160 million more from this budget … is going to make life in this state much more unequal and much more expensive for Coloradans.”

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 service area. Pursuant to S 37-92-301(4) (b) of the Colorado Revised Statutes, 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). 4.1.

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. 4.2. 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. 4.3. Additional Sources of Substitute 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 ECCV Well Field, to add additional storage facilities and recharge locations, and to add exchanges to aid in moving its replacement water to its places of beneficial use. 4.3.1.

During the diligence period, United, on behalf of ECCV, has developed and acquired infrastructure for Phase II of the Water Supply Project, including but not limited to, mining United Reservoir No. 3, acquiring Milliken Reservoir in August 2015; completing construction of 70 Ranch Reservoir in July 2019; and securing easement deeds and agreements for structures necessary to deliver water to ECCV. During this diligence period ECCV has been working on Phase II of the Water Supply Project. This phase will allow ECCV to deliver up to 14.75 million gallons of renewable water to customers each day, whereby reducing dependency on non-renewable wells. This phase included designing the expansion of the RO Plant and North and South Booster Pump Station (2017), construction of Deep Injection Well II (2018), and expansion of the plant and pump station (2020). Construction is currently underway and is expected to be completed in 2020. The estimated cost of the Phase II infrastructure is $84.8 million. 4.5. Substitute Water Supply Plans.

During this diligence period, ECCV has filed joint substitute water supply plans (“SWSP”) with ACWWA in order to use additional replacement supplies to replace out-of-priority depletions from the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field to facilitate the efficient operation of the Water Supply Project.

SWSPs were filed in 2014 (approved April 15, 2015), 2015 (approved April 6, 2016), 2016 (approved May 19, 2017), 2017 (approved March 30, 2018), 2018 (approved March 27, 2019), and 2019 (approved April 6, 2020). 4.6. Protection of Water Rights. ECCV has regularly monitored the filings of other water users. It has filed statements of opposition to and has incurred legal and engineering costs in connection with numerous cases to protect its water rights. Legal fees in the amount of $150,000.00 were expended during the diligence period in water rights protection and opposition on behalf of ECCV for its Water Supply Project. 4.7. Opposition of Detrimental Legislation.

ECCV has been actively involved in opposing Colorado State legislation that would negatively impact the operation of its augmentation plans and exchanges. 4.8. ECCV continues to rely upon and develop the conditional water rights described herein and has no intent to abandon them. 5. Claim to Make Absolute. During this diligence period, ECCV made a maximum of 164 acre-feet and 8.25 cfs absolute. Specifically, since the decree was entered in Case No. 11CW285, ECCV has made absolute portions of the following exchanges: 5.1.

APPLICATION FOR ADJUDICATION OF DENVER BASIN GROUNDWATER AND PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION, IN DOUGLAS COUNTY. II. Background and Summary of Application. A. Applicants seek to quantify the Dawson aquifer groundwater underlying their approximately 5.0 acre property in Douglas County, Colorado, and to obtain a plan for augmentation for the use of a not-nontributary Dawson aquifer well thereon to provide water service to two dwellings including domestic, landscape and garden irrigation, stock watering, and augmentation purposes associated therewith. B. Underground water rights within the nontributary Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers were previously decreed in Case No. 05CW0184, District Court, Water Division 1 (“05CW0184 Decree”). The 05CW0184 Decree established groundwater rights for approximately 386 acres of land generally located in the N 1/2 NW 1/4 and the E 1/2 of Section 19, and part of the NE 1/4 of Section 30, all in Township 7 South, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., in Douglas County, Colorado, of which the Applicant’s Property is a portion. C. The Applicants’ are the current owners of a lot within the Hills at Bayou Gulch Subdivision, depicted on attached Exhibit A, and is specifically described as Lot 47, The Hills at Bayou Gulch, Filing 1-C, also known as 9806 Wild Crocus Circle, Parker, CO 80134 (“Applicants’ Property”). Applicants own the following water in the nontributary Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers underlying the Applicant’s Property, as quantified in the 05CW0184 Decree: Aquifer Net Sand (ft) Amount – 100 years Feet) Denver (NT) 190 162 Arapahoe (NT) 250 213 Laramie-Fox Hills (NT) 195 146

III. Application for Underground Water Rights.

Applicants are the owners of Applicants’ Property, and the above described water and water rights subject to the 05CW0184 Decree underlying the Applicant’s Property. Applicants do not seek any change or revision as to the 05CW0184 Underground Water Rights Decree as would affect any other lots within the Hills at Bayou Gulch Subdivision. By this application, Applicants seek to quantify the Dawson aquifer groundwater underlying their property, and approval of a plan for augmentation for the use thereof. A. Legal Description of Well. 1. Existing Well. There is an existing well on the Applicant’s Property, Permit No. 185230 (“Fox Well No. 1”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B. Fox Well No. 1 is located approximately 2,085 feet from the South section line, and 875 feet from the East section line of Section 19 and is constructed to the not-nontributary Dawson aquifer, and is currently permitted as an exempt well pursuant to C.R.S. §37-92-602. Applicants intend for Fox Well No. 1 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 aquifer underlying the Applicant’s Property is notnontributary. Pursuant to C.R.S. §37-90-137(9) (c.5), the augmentation requirements for wells in the Dawson aquifer will require the replacement of actual stream depletions. 2. Nontributary. The groundwater that will be withdrawn from the Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers underlying the Applicant’s Property is nontributary, as previously decreed in the 05CW0184 Decree.

C. Estimated Rates of Withdrawal and Ground Water Available. 1. Estimated Rates of Withdrawal.

Pumping from the Dawson aquifer well(s) will not exceed 100 g.p.m. The actual pumping rates for each well 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

Douglas County Legals 10.22.20 * 5

The News-Press 29

Public Notices aquifer conditions. 2. Estimated Average Annual Amounts of Ground Water Available. Applicant requests an absolute water right for the withdrawal of all legally available ground water in the not-nontributary Dawson aquifer underlying the Applicants’ Property. Said amounts may be withdrawn over the 100-year aquifer life pursuant to C.R.S. §37-90-137(4). Applicant owns the vested water rights of the nontributary Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers underlying the Applicants’ property, as was previously quantified in the 05CW0184 decree. Applicants estimate that the following value and average annual amount is representative of the Dawson aquifer underlying Applicants’ Property: Groundwater Quantification NE 1/4 SE 1/4 Sec Acres: 5.03 19 T7S R65W 6th P.M. Denver Net Basin Aquifer Sand Total 100 (ft) (AF) Year (AF) Upper Dawson (NNT) 138.00 Lower Dawson (NT) 72.10 0.725

138.83

1.388 72.53

Decreed amounts may vary based upon the State’s Determination of Facts. Pursuant to C.R.S. §37-92-305(11), the Applicant further requests 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, fire protection, hot tub, and for storage and augmentation purposes 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 Applicants’ 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, consistent with the 05CW0184 Decree. 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 Upper Dawson aquifer 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. The Applicants request that they be permitted to produce the full legal entitlement from the Dawson aquifer underlying Applicants’ Property through any combination of wells. The Applicants request that these wells be treated as a well field. F. Averaging of Withdrawals. The Applicants request that they be entitled to withdraw an amount of ground water 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 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 well is 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 Fox Well No. 1 as is currently constructed to the not-nontributary Upper 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 Fox Well No. 1, together with water rights from the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer 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 not-nontributary Dawson aquifer by one well herein. Water use criteria and their consumptive use component for replacement of actual depletions for the lots are estimated as follows: 1. Use. Fox Well No. 1 will pump a maximum total of 1.3-acre feet of water from the Dawson aquifer annually. Such use shall be a combination of household use within two singlefamily dwellings; irrigation of lawn, garden, and greenhouse; hot tub, and the watering of horses or equivalent livestock. An example breakdown of this combination of use is household use at 0.50 acre feet, plus outdoor use, including the watering of up to 8 horses or equivalent livestock with a water use of 0.20 acre feet per year (10 gallons/ day/head or 0.011 annual acre feet per head); and irrigation of lawn and garden of 0.60 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 10.99% percent of pumping. Maximum annual depletions for total residential pumping from the well is therefore 0.143-acre feet, in year 100.

Should Applicants’ pumping be less than the 1.3acre 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 non-evaporative septic systems, and depletions from irrigation will be adequately replaced by irrigation return flows. The annual consumptive use for non-evaporative septic systems is 10% per year per residence. At a household use rate of 0.25-acre feet per residence per year, 0.45 acrefeet is replaced to the stream system per year, assuming the use of two non-evaporative septic systems. Thus, during pumping, stream depletions will be 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 Fox Well No. 1, Applicants will reserve water from the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer, less the

amount of actual stream depletions replaced during the plan pumping period. The 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, the Applicants reserve the right in the future to prove that post pumping depletions will be noninjurious. The reserved nontributary 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 Fox 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. The 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. §37-90137(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 the 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 intend to waive the 600 feet well spacing requirement for any wells to be located upon the Applicants’ Property. G. The Applicants own the Subject Property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and no other person or entity has a financial interest in the Subject Property. Accordingly, The Applicants certify compliance with the notice requirements of C.R.S. § 37-92-302(2).

2011). Applicants have sought or will seek changes of these water rights to, in part, allow use of those rights as a source of substitute supply for the appropriative rights of exchange claimed herein. Exhibit 3 is a list of ACWWA’s sources of substitute supply. 4. Detailed outline of work done for the completion of the conditional appropriation for reasonable diligence. ACWWA’s unified, integrated system for the diversion, accretion, collection, storage, transmission, and treatment of water rights (the “Water Supply Project” or “Flow Project”) was originally designed to provide ACWWA 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 ACWWA’s service area. Pursuant to S 37-92-301(4)(b) of the Colorado Revised Statutes, 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 ACWWA 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). 4.1.

Legal Fees. Legal fees in the amount of $3,000,000.00 were expended during the diligence period in ACWWA’s adjudicatory proceedings for the appropriation of new water rights and changes to existing water rights for ACWWA’s Flow Project, and water rights protection and opposition. 4.2.

Engineering Costs. Engineering costs in the amount of $1,680,000.00 were expended during the diligence period in connection with ACWWA’s Flow 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. 4.3. Additional Sources of Substitute Supplies. ACWWA 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 additional storage facilities and recharge locations, and to add exchanges to aid in moving its replacement water to it places of beneficial use. 4.3.1.

During the diligence period, United, on behalf of ACWWA, has developed and acquired infrastructure for Phase II of the Water Supply Project, including but not limited to, mining United Reservoir No. 3; acquiring Milliken Reservoir in August 2015; completing construction of 70 Ranch Reservoir in July 2019; and securing easement deeds and agreements for structures necessary to deliver water to ACWWA. During this diligence period ACWWA has been working on Phase II of the ACWWA Flow Water Supply Project. This phase will allow ACWWA to deliver up to 5.25 million gallons of renewable water to customers each day, whereby reducing dependency on non-renewable wells. The second phase of this Water Supply Project included the expansion of the Northern Water Treatment RO Plant (2018-2020) and the North and South Booster Pump Stations (20182019), and construction of Deep Injection Well II (2018). Construction is still underway and is expected to be completed in 2020. The total estimated cost of the Phase II infrastructure is $60 million for an additional 10 million gallons of pumping and treatment capacity. The Booster Pump Stations are approximately $25 million and the NWTP Expansion is approximately $35 million.

ACWWA has purchased an additional 3 million gallons of capacity from these facilities, totaling about $18 million in capital expenditure. 4.5.

Substitute Water Supply Plans. During this diligence period, ACWWA has filed joint substitute water supply plans (“SWSP”) with ECCV in order to use additional replacement supplies to replace out-of-priority depletions from the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field to facilitate the efficient operation of the Water Supply Project. SWSPs were filed in 2014 (approved April 15, 2015), 2015 (approved April 6, 2016), 2016 (approved May 19, 2017), 2017 (approved March 30, 2018), 2018 (approved March 27, 2019), and 2019 (approved April 6, 2020). 4.6. Protection of Water Rights. ACWWA has regularly monitored the filings of other water users. It has filed statements of opposition to and has incurred legal and engineering costs in connection with numerous cases to protect its water rights. 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 rights described herein and has no intent to abandon them. 5. Claim to Make Absolute. During this diligence period, ACWWA made a maximum of 444 acre-feet and 6.73 cfs absolute. Specifically, since the decree was entered in Case No. 09CW283, ACWWA has made absolute portions of the following exchanges: 5.1.

APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS, PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION, AND APPROPRIATION OF RETURN FLOWS in ADAMS, ARAPAHOE, DENVER, DOUGLAS, ELBERT, LARIMER, MORGAN, AND WELD COUNTIES. Please send all pleadings and correspondence to: Brian M. Nazarenus, Esq., Sheela S. Stack, Esq., William D. Wombacher, Esq., Stacy L. Brownhill, Esq., NAZARENUS STACK & WOMBACHER LLC, 8301 E. Prentice Ave., Suite 110, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111 (Attorneys for ACWWA).

2. Introduction. The purpose of this application is to change the use of the water rights associated

with ACWWA’s 7 shares in the Whitney Irrigating Ditch Company (“Whitney”). 3. Summary of the Subject Water Rights. ACWWA seeks to change the use of 7 shares out of a total of 320 outstanding shares in Whitney (“ACWWA’s Whitney Shares”).

ACWWA’s Whitney Shares are derived from Share Certificate No. 301 and were historically used on the Hall farm as detailed below. 4. Decreed Water Rights for Which Change is Sought. 4.1. Name of Structure. Whitney Irrigating Ditch (the “Whitney Ditch”). 4.2. Original and all Relevant Subsequent Decrees. The water rights for the Whitney Ditch were decreed on April 11, 1882 in Case No. 320 by the Larimer County District Court. The water rights associated with 128 of the 320 shares issued to Whitney were quantified and changed by the Water Court on October 25, 2011, in Case No. 08CW65, Water Division 1, based on the results of a ditch-wide historical consumptive use analysis.

4.3. Legal Description of Point of Diversion. The Whitney Ditch is decreed to divert on the north side of the Cache la Poudre River, in S 19, T 6 N, R 67 West, of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado.

4.4. Source. Cache la Poudre River, tributary to the South Platte River. 4.5. Amounts and Appropriation Dates. The Whitney Ditch was decreed two separate priorities as follows: (1) 48.23 cfs, with an appropriation date of September 1, 1862; and (2) 12.95 cfs, with an appropriation date of September 10, 1871. 4.6. Decreed Use. Irrigation. 4.7. Amount to be Changed. ACWWA seeks to change all of the water rights associated with ACWWA’s Whitney Shares. Pursuant to the prior ditch-wide analysis, the historical consumptive use of ACWWA’s Whitney Shares is 13.69 acre-feet/ year/share. The decreed pro-rata river headgate diversion for each priority of ACWWA’s Whitney Shares is as follows: Appropriation Date Total Amount Decreed to All Whitney Shares (cfs) Pro-Rata Flow Rate (cfs) September 1, 1862 1.055 September 10, 1871 0.283

48.23 12.95

6.1.9. Change in Place of Use. ACWWA will use the water attributable to ACWWA’s Whitney Shares on lands within ACWWA’s present and future service area, at such locations as to allow ACWWA to pump water at the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field or provide direct deliveries for municipal use within ACWWA’s present and future service area, and at locations as necessary to operate the augmentation plans, recharge projects, and exchanges described herein.

ACWWA’s Return Flow Obligations. ACWWA shall maintain historical surface runoff and ground water return flows on a daily basis whenever the downstream calling water right on the South Platte River is senior to September 30, 2020. ACWWA shall meet its return flow obligations for ACWWA’s Whitney Shares with any of the sources described in the attached Exhibit 3, either directly, by substitution, by exchange, or following storage or recharge or any combination thereof. ACWWA may also deliver water from other fully-consumable sources, either directly, by substitution, by exchange, or following storage or recharge or any combination thereof, owned or controlled by ECCV or any other sources so long as the sources are decreed for augmentation purposes by the Water Court or approved for replacement use under a Substitute Water Supply Plan approved by the State Engineer pursuant to C.R.S. § § 37-92-308 or 309, or successor statutes, or are otherwise lawfully available for such use. To the extent that fully consumable water derived from water rights other than ACWWA’s Whitney Shares is used to meet replacement obligations, an equivalent amount of water diverted pursuant to ACWWA’s Whitney Shares and attributable to historical return flow will become fully consumable. 9. Integrated System. Use of ACWWA’s Whitney Shares as described herein comprise a component of an integrated system of water rights and structures under C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(b). Work performed and effort or costs expended by Applicant on any water rights or structures which are part of their integrated water systems shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of the conditional water rights for all features of the system as provided in C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(b). 10.
