15,000th Arvada milk bank donor celebrated Wheat Ridge woman makes milestone donation to help other moms
Lack of tours at Coors brewery another challenge in year full of them for Golden businesses
BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After 36 years, the Mothers’ Milk Bank, an Arvada-based nonprofit program of the Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation that provides breast milk to premature and sick babies, received support from its 15,000th donor this summer. The donation came from Wheat Ridge mother Kylie Harrison, who had her third daughter, Kieran, on June 5. A director of Jefferson County Women, Infants and Children (WIC), a registered dietitian and a certified lactation consultant, Harrison understands the importance of the help MMB provides and how meaningful it can be for families. She had already been planning to donate to the milk bank since several months before Kieran’s birth; however, devastating news about two of her children’s health — and an ongoing battle to save her children’s lives — has made her view her experience as a donor in a whole new light.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on local economies has become a major story of the summer as businesses deal with challenges ranging from constantly-changing regulations to capacity limits to consumers own reluctance. But in Golden, businesses are also dealing with a more local problem that has made those challenges even worse: a lack of the thousands of tourists who usually flock to the Coors Brewery every year to tour the home of the “taste as cold as the Rockies.” Coors has not been offering public tours since mid-March, when it first posted the following message on its Coors brewery tour website: “We are always proud to share our history, heritage and quality products with you. However, with COVID-19 spreading around the country, and with consistent guidance from public health officials to limit large gatherings, we have temporarily closed the Coors Brewery Tour. We will reassess at a later date and will only reopen when we can be assured it is safe for our employees and the general public. We realize this is a bummer for many of our fans and we will apologize for any disruption this may cause, but our number one concern is your safety and the safety of our employees. We hope to be back and operating soon.” As the COVID-19 crisis enters its fifth month, there has been no indication from Coors when the tours might resume. In response to an inquiry SEE COORS, P9

I had the coronavirus. It was mentally challenging BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
July 29 was the 10th day I had been feeling sick with the coronavirus, and by that time, I had all the symptoms you’ve read or heard about. I had a fever. I could feel myself losing my breath if I did something as simple as make my bed. I had a cough, and I could barley walk around my tiny apartment or walk outside to go throw out the trash. But it wasn’t until July Joseph Rios 29 that I really realized that I was sick with the coronavirus. I was watching the Colorado Rockies play against the Oakland Athletics, and I saw the cardboard cutout fans placed in the stands of the ballpark and the players and coaches in masks. I heard the artificial crowd noise at the game, and it may sound goofy, but watching
the Rockies that day is when I started to mentally feel like I had the virus. Watching the “new normal” Rockies game with all of its changes and precautions to protect people from the virus drove home the fact that I was sick with a deadly virus that has been the cause of at least 167,000 deaths in America. It made it more real than my July 25 positive coronavirus test, it made me fearful, and it made my anxiety about my illness worse. There is a big difference between having the coronavirus and reading or hearing about it. I had spent every week since the pandemic started writing about the virus, and even interviewed people who were sick with it — but I still didn’t realize how mentally challenging it would be to have the coronavirus. You start to wonder if your symptoms will ever go away. I worried most about all of the people who I had come into contact with before I tested positive. I thought about my coworkers
and tried to remember everything I could’ve touched in my office to warn them. I thought about my 65-year-old father who is high risk and who I had seen only a few days before I had symptoms. It’s hard having thoughts rush through your mind about the idea that you could have infected someone with a deadly virus that we don’t have a cure for. If I had gotten my father or any of my family or friends sick, and something bad happened to them, I don’t know how I could have lived with myself. I don’t want you to have those thoughts. I don’t want you to have to worry about getting your friends or family sick. Most importantly, I don’t want you to get the coronavirus. It is scary when you’re lying in bed with the virus, and you can feel yourself having trouble breathing. It’s scary when you can barely walk because you’re so sick, and it’s scary not know-
ing what kind of impact the coronavirus will have on your long-term health. It took me 16 days to fully feel like I had recovered from the virus. I can’t move around as fast I used to, and I feel out of shape after being sick for so long, but I’m thankful I can carry on with my life and that I didn’t get anybody sick that I know of. I had thought I was doing everything right to prevent myself from getting sick. I religiously sanitized my hands whenever I had a chance. I wore a mask everywhere I went, I stopped visiting and going out with friends —but I still got it. I think that shows how easily anyone can get it and is why it’s important to take all the precautions you can, because even when you do take those precautions, you can still easily get the virus.

Jeffco COVID-19 case numbers look better ahead of Labor Day Jeffco Public Health optimistic but warns of potential spikes BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Jefferson County’s new COVID-19 case numbers are again under the threshold for the county to keep its variance from the state’s safer-at-home order. On Tuesday, Aug. 11, Jefferson County Public Health Executive Director Mark B. Johnson told the Jeffco commissioners that there had been 524 new COVID-19 cases in Jeffco over the preceding two weeks. That marked the first time since July 24 that the county had measured less than 580 cases in a two-week period, the threshold for maintaining the variance that provides the county with greater leeway when it comes to the number of people that can be together inside certain businesses and public gatherings. Johnson told the commissioners that the decrease in new cases comes at a time when Jeffco is seeing a decrease in its positive test result rate, as well as increased mask usage following the passage of state and county orders mandating face masks be worn in many public situations in July.
He also told the commissioners that the county would still need to stay under 580 cases over the next two weeks to maintain current variances. “I was feeling cautiously optimistic but I am becoming very optimistic that we will be able to maintain the variance over the next two weeks and keep those numbers down,” said Johnson. But despite that optimism, Johnson did say he believes that cases will likely rise some from the 580 measured over the prior two weeks as cases had been unusually low over the preceding weekend. He also mentioned his concern that an upcoming event could result in a case spike. “My fear right now is Labor Day,” he said. “When we saw this last spike it was right after July 4 and although we have had a real response from the residents of Jefferson County we can’t give it up again for another holiday and have everybody going back to crowding at beaches and crowding at venues and having travel that is not safe or we will see another spike.” According to Johnson, a potential Labor Day spike would likely be more problematic than the July 4 one had been because it would be coming at a time when the county will also “probably going to begin to see flu and it’s going to be much more difficult to try to figure out what’s happening and control it.” Because of that concern, Johnson
said JCPH will putting out a new public awareness campaign that will aim to educate the community about the need to avoid risky behaviors like gatherings prior to the holiday. St. Anthony in Lakewood and Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge. Deaths, meanwhile, have remained steady and the county has not seen five deaths in one week since the week of June 14. The county saw 27 deaths during the week of April 19, its worst week of the pandemic in terms of deaths. The commissioners praised both JCPH and county residents for the recent progress. “I think we are starting to figure out how to do the best practices as far as staying socially distant and wearing masks and washing our hands and I think the hospitals are figuring out how to treat this better,” said Commissioner Casey Tighe. Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper echoed both that praise and Johnson’s pleas for the county to stay the course with labor day approaching. “Your point is well taken that we’ve got to continue to stay cautious, do what we need to do and come together to prevent the spread, especially as we look at Labor Day weekend on the horizon,” Dahlkemper said. “And of course we’ve got kids at least as of right now that return to school after Labor Day weekend.”

Colorado’s mask rule extended into mid-September Polis says wearing masks ‘may have significant economic benefits’ THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Aug. 14 extended his statewide mask-wearing mandate, aimed at reducing spread of the coronavirus, into midSeptember. The mandate, requiring Coloradans 11 years old and above to wear a mask when in indoor public spaces, was set to expire in mid-August. It will now be in effect until at least Sept. 13.
Violators may be “subject to civil or criminal penalties, including but not limited to prosecution for trespass,” the governor’s order says. “We have learned that widespread mask use is a low cost and highly effective way to reduce the spread of COVID-19 infections by as much as 65%,” Polis said in his order extending the mandate. “Broad adoption of mask wearing in Colorado may have significant economic benefits by allowing the State to prevent re-closures of businesses and schools and, ultimately, return to our normal lives more quickly.” The extension, which lasts 30 days, was expected. Polis was initially hesitant to enact a mask mandate, but
after cases and hospitalizations began rising steadily in Colorado, and after a host of counties and cities enacted mask-wearing requirements, he embraced the idea. Local public health departments in Colorado, which have been doing public mask-wearing surveillance, report they have seen 90% compliance in recent weeks, coinciding with Polis’ order. That’s after those percentages were slipping in June.

Many Organizations Contribute to ‘Rapid Shelter’ Effort Addressing Homelessness Homelessness is an increasing problem in Denver and around the world, thanks in part to the financial effects of Covid-19, including rising unemployment. Like me, you have probably watched the news reports about homeless encampments in Denver, wondering what can be done for what appears to be an intractable problem. As a committed capitalist and entrepreneur as well as a wouldbe philanthropist, I know there are solutions to this social challenge, so I was pleased to come across a Fast Company article with the headline, “45 innovative solutions for beautiful, easy-tobuild housing to help cities with the homelessness crisis.” That article was inspired by the Rapid Shelter Innovation Showcase, “a clearinghouse for smart ideas on how to lower construction times for cities in need of new housing for people living on the street or after a disaster.” You’ll find the showcase on the website of The Housing Innovation Collaborative, created in 2019 by several Los Angeles nonprofits committed to addressing homelessness in L.A. and around the world. The cost per bed of the 45 concepts, many of which are described as “in stock,” ranges from under $1,000 to over $100,000. Others are described as “conceptual ideas only” or “nearly ready.” with days required to set up each product ranging from 1 to 90 days. Eleven were described as ”built prototypes only.” Each has a link to its own web page with complete information.
Previously I have written about the “tiny home” movement, and I’ve visited several tiny homes, including one on the annual Boulder Green Home Tour. A few years ago, several tiny homes were displayed in the parking lot next to the Golden Public Library, and last year there was a display of them (which I missed) on open land off Pena Boulevard. Tiny homes are intended to be permanent housing. They have complete kitchens and bathrooms, requiring hook-ups to water and sewer, although some are available as trailers requiring only the occasional RV hook-up. But most of the solutions displayed on the collaborative’s showcase are intended to get homeless people out of tents. It’s hard to describe the variety of technologies and styles in the showcase, so I’ll show just a few of them here, but I have links to the full showcase, as well as these three examples on our blog, www.GoldenREblog.com. Not mentioned in the showcase is a British charity called ShelterBox, which I learned about as a Rotarian. Their containers, easily carried by two persons, are warehoused around the world, ready to be deployed quickly to disaster locations. They contain a tent and other aid items such as mosquito nets, water filters, water carriers, solar lights, cooking sets, blankets and mats. It is a charity worthy of your support. Donate at www.ShelterBoxUSA.org.

As More Companies Encourage Work-at-Home, Expect More Office Space to Become Residential
While residential real estate is booming, the prognosis for commercial real estate must be pretty bad, given that the Covid-19 pandemic has inspired many companies, big and small, to let their employees keep working at home permanently. And, of course, many companies, especially in the hospitality industry, have called it quits. The oil and gas industry, a big part of Colorado’s economy, has suffered greatly from the reduced value of oil on the world market. This means that there will be a lot of vacant office space, and many of those commercial landlords, seeing the continued demand for residential units, will want to convert their buildings to residential use.
I have witnessed such conversions — in both directions — even before Covid19. Back in 1991 I purchased a building that had been built in 1905 as a 28-unit apartment house. It had been converted to an office building before I bought it, but after I sold it in 2007, it was converted back to apartments. During Denver’s 1980s oil bust there were many vacant office buildings in Denver and elsewhere, but they weren’t converted to residential use because the residential real estate market at that time was also depressed. Now, with the residential market booming more than ever, I fully expect to see some of those highrise office buildings converted to apartments or condos in coming years.

Action Center carries on with school supply distribution Annual event serves thousands of Jeffco students BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
At least 4,000 Jefferson County students won’t have to worry about how they are getting their school supplies this year, thanks to the Action Center. From Aug. 10 to Aug. 15, the Action Center, a human-services nonprofit headquartered in Lakewood, provided school supplies to students of lowincome or those who are experiencing homelessness in Jefferson County. According to a release from the Action Center, more than 3,100 students in Jeffco Public Schools are facing some sort of homelessness. This year’s event enforced social distancing guidelines and limited one person per household into the distribution site to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Supplies were distributed at Stevens Elementary in Wheat Ridge.

Jeffco school employees worry ‘loophole’ could lead to layoffs Negotiations between district and support professionals ongoing BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Just as students are preparing to return to in-person schooling in Jeffco this September, support professionals including the custodians, food service workers, paraprofessionals, bus drivers and others are also anxious to return to school buildings and see what their new reality looks like. But over the past few weeks, some support professionals in union JESPA (Jeffco Education Support Professionals Association) have voiced concerns about the details of their return, particularly in terms of wages, safety
and job security. JESPA members held a Facebook town hall on Aug. 11 to call for pay increases, which could be funded by a 10% pay cut for central administrators, said JESPA president Lara Center at the conference. “We have 4,000 ESPs in this district, many struggling to survive. When we have fully employed citizens standing in line at the food bank, we know there is a problem,” she said. “We are also still severely short staffed, and the district should prioritize essential workers and staffing where our students need support most and cutting central administrators.” The support professionals also have several other asks, including requesting hazard pay for certain employees — specifically, for custodians cleaning a building that has been shut down due to a COVID-19 case, or for aides supervising students who are quaran-
tining on campus because they show COVID symptoms. During an Aug. 13 bargaining session between JESPA and the district, Chief Human Resources Officer David Bell told the JESPA bargaining team that “we believe we’ve implemented appropriate safety measures and training protocols in schools and buildings and do not recognize the need for hazard pay.” But JESPA came back with a proposal requesting time-and-a-half pay for employees put at risk by the aforementioned circumstances. As of Aug. 17 the two sides have yet to finalize a deal addressing this issue. Leading up to the Aug. 13 session, support professionals also had concerns around what bus driver Monte Hollander called “loopholes” in the district’s proposal. The district previously proposed that it would not reduce its workforce
or implement furlough days “for the 2020-21 school year as a mechanism to balance the annual budget,” its proposal said. However, Bell clarified that a reduction in force or furlough days could still be possible for a different reason: If the district’s business needs changed. JESPA members have perceived this as a loophole as well as a regressive proposal, Center said. In June, the district came to the table with a proposal from which members interpreted that “the district’s intentions were to institute no layoffs,” she said. Hollander agreed, holding the proposal is not only regressive but could also be enough to drive some employees away. “The dangerous impact it could have on Jeffco students and families SEE NEGOTIATIONS, P5

Jeffco school board appoints interim superintendent Kristopher Schuh to fill the role in the coming months BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Jeffco Public Schools Board of Education has appointed Kristopher Schuh as the district’s interim superintendent. Current superintendent, Jason Glass, will leave his position Sept. 13 to take over as Commissioner of Education for the state of Kentucky. Schuh was appointed the interim superintendent on Aug. 11. Schuh has worked in Jeffco Public Schools for 20 years, most recently as the district’s deputy superintendent and chief of secondary schools, playing a major role in the drafting of Jeffco’s restart plan. He has also been a Jeffco community superintendent, principal, assistant principal and coach, in addition to having held other educational positions inside and outside the district. He has worked in the education field for 28 years, having previously earned degrees in U.S. history, Spanish,

educational counseling and a license in educational administration. He is married to a Jeffco teacher and has two children in Jeffco schools. Board president Susan Harmon said at the Aug. 11 Board of Education meeting that Schuh will serve as interim superintendent until a full-time Schuh superintendent is hired and can assume his or her new duties. The national search for a full-time superintendent “begins somewhere around November (or) December,” she added. Schuh was selected after board members met to discuss a process for selecting an interim superintendent on July 30, in executive session. “We certainly did reach out and explore as many alternatives as we thought reasonable and invited people to express their levels of interest,” board member Brad Rupert said of the process. Board member Ron Mitchell added that he brainstormed possible candidates, reaching out to two retired superintendents to gauge their levels of interest.
Harmon said there is no outlined process for selecting an interim superintendent in Jeffco. However, there are policies for selecting a full-time superintendent, which will be followed when that process begins, she said. But board member Susan Miller stated that she believed the process the board just completed, to select an interim superintendent, may have been negatively affected by the fact that the board is not in compliance with one of its policies, EL-09, “Emergency Superintendent Succession.” The policy states that “in order to protect the Board in the event of sudden loss of superintendent services, the superintendent shall assure that no fewer than two other executive staff members are familiar with Board and superintendent issues and processes and each is capable of assuming superintendent responsibilities on an emergency basis.” In an interview, Miller said the board has no such list of individuals who are ready to take over in case of an emergency. While she said the event at hand does not constitute an emergency, she feels that based on the language of the policy, the succession list is
necessary at all times, not just after an emergency arises. The lack of such a list left the board with few options to consider for the role, she said, leading to a situation where board members were left trying to brainstorm possible candidates. “This has nothing to do with Mr. Schuh at all. But we did not have at least a consideration for alternatives,” Miller said. “If we had been in compliance, then we would have at least had something in place to help frame the conversation (about selecting an interim superintendent) and help with the decision-making process.” During the meeting, Harmon responded to Miller’s concerns, saying she did not feel the policy in question was applicable to the situation, given the lack of emergency. In the vote to approve Schuh’s appointment, Miller voted no and all other board members voted yes. “I hope, frankly, that we will transition authority to our new interim superintendent as soon as possible and maybe that’s a conversation the board needs to have,” Mitchell said. “I believe that we’re making the right move for Jeffco Public Schools at the right time.”
believe the proposal was regressive. Rather, it was a “clarification and response” to JESPA’s negotiations, he said. “We do feel that we have been genuine and honest with our presentations and proposals,” Bell said. On Aug. 13, JESPA again asked the district to vow not to layoff or furlough employees in 2020-2021.
Bell then proposed that the two groups discuss business-needs related layoffs and furloughs during a discussion around working conditions, as opposed to just compensation. The groups will now negotiate about furlough and layoffs related to business needs when bargaining their Memorandum of Understanding at a later date.
“We believe that it is in the school district’s and our students’ interest to protect jobs during a pandemic, as we need a ready workforce that will be able to support students and our teachers when they return to school,” Center said. “We hope to have (bargaining) done ASAP. Every time we sit at the table with the district, we hope to get a deal that day.”

SCHOOLS FROM PAGE 1
— to welcome back students in the next few weeks. With the uncertainty around reopening, the city of Golden held a virtual community meeting on Aug. 12, at which leaders of Golden schools detailed their current plans for reopening. Here is a look at some of the key things the community needs to know as Golden embarks on a school year that is already sure to be unlike any other in memory. Jefferson County Public Schools Students will be learning in-person and online Families with students in all grade levels were given the choice of whether their student will ultimately attend school remotely or inperson—although that choice looked different depending on the grades. The plan is for elementary school students whose families did choose for them to attend in-person to do so 100% of the time with students staying together in small cohorts that administrators hope will help reduce the spread. Middle and high school students who did not choose the 100% remote option will attend school in-person and online on alternating days in order to reduce the number of students in school buildings at one time. However, all students will start school online on Aug. 24 with in-person learning starting on Sept. 8 after a week of orientations meant to introduce students to the new environment.
August 20, 2020A Golden High School Principal Brian Conway said roughly 300 of the school’s 1,420 students have opted for online learning, which means there will be about 550 students in the building at any different time. Getting around will be different In an effort to reduce the amount of contact between students, there will be new rules governing how students can access and move around schools. At Golden High, freshman and sophomores will enter and exit the school through the main doors while juniors and seniors will come in and out through different entrances at other places in the building. The hallways have all been “oneway”. Some schools, including Shelton Elementary, do not allow for one-way hallways and hallways there will remain two way. However, Shelton Principal Darby Brady said efforts are still being made to decrease the risk of contact between students. One such strategy will involve having students spend a great deal more time outside than they have in the past. Mental health will be a focus Conway said schools will go through something of a “soft-start” academically as students come back so that staff can focus on tending to student’s mental health needs and building connections and community in this new environment. To that end, all Jeffco teachers read a book about trauma sensitive schools to help them prepare for the return to school and addressing student needs as well as their own. One important part of that will be addressing the losses students will feel over the course of this abnormal
school year. “This year’s high school kids won’t have a Homecoming assembly and parade,” Conway said. “Now it’s our turn to create new memories and new opportunities for these kids but we have to do that by attending to their mental health. We have a solid academic plan but that doesn’t work if we aren’t attending to their mental health.” Patience will be a key — because there are no “good options” available Outgoing Jeffco Public Schools superintendent Jason Glass said it is important for the community to recognize that every option around school this year had a significant downside. Just as it would be irresponsible to bring all students back without proper precautions, Glass said it would be similarly irresponsible to go 100% virtual as virtual learning did not work for many students in the spring and has been shown to reinforce existing inequities. “We ask for patience,” Glass said. “We are being very thoughtful about this, we are paying a lot of attention to the data and how the virus is moving in our community and we will have to continue to do that. There are going to be challenges with any of the choices we have before us.” Colorado School of Mines Regular testing encouraged but not required A new testing site is set to open on campus on Friday, March 14, that will be capable of conducting 60-180 tests per hour. Students are being encouraged, but not required, to get tested after arriving on-campus and every two weeks after that. The
school has also implemented a new reporting system that will allow students to quickly report when they are ill. Mines to limit campus crowding but most classes will be in-person The majority of undergraduate classes, about 60%, will be held in-person. However, Mines is also offering remote classes and classes that are a hybrid between remote and online participation (in-person classes will also be taped). Gary Bowersock, Mines associate vice president of infrastructure and operations, said Mines is also trying to minimize the number of staff on campus. “We are certainly bringing back the staff that we need to provide services to all of our students but we are really trying to minimize the amount of staff that we have on campus,” he said. “Those that can continue to work remote will do that or very much in a hybrid fashion.” Trying to safely offer parts of campus life Although most intercollegiate fall sports are postponed until spring, Mines will be offering rec sports and other activities with safety protocols in place. The rec center will also be open at a limited capacity with distancing protocols. In addition, the school will be installing four or five event tents to provide students with outdoor spaces to eat and socialize more safely outside with shade. “We are looking at other opportunities as the weather changes of how we will deal with inclement weather plans and those kinds of things,” said Bowersock. “We are looking at our field house and other venues where we can offer seating indoors.”

DONOR FROM PAGE 1
Before Kieran was born, Harrison and her husband, Kyle, began to seek answers regarding unusual symptoms that their two older daughters — Kinley, 7 and Kennedy, 4 — had both been experiencing. Harrison said she and her husband had no concrete expectations for the explanation they might receive. But the day they brought Kieran home from the hospital, they received Kinley and Kennedy’s diagnosis — “and never did we think it was this,” she said. Both daughters have GM1 Gangliosidosis, a rare inherited disorder that destroys cells in the brain and spinal cord. Because of the disease, both girls have already begun to experience some symptoms of developmental stunting or regression. The disease is expected to have a fatal outcome for both daughters in mid-childhood or early adulthood. “We realized we absolutely had to do something to at least try to get them some sort of medical care,” Harrison said. Though there is no known cure for GM1, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and its partners are running clinical trials that could result in a successful outcome. It’s been with the community’s support that the family has started their journey toward possible recovery through these trials. As of Aug. 12, through a GoFundMe page called Cure Kinley & Kennedy, the family had already raised more than $235,000 of its $2 million goal to fund research on GM1. The $2 million is an estimate of what it would theoretically cost for both girls
Samantha Botts donated about 2,000 ounces of milk to the milk bank during 2018. to go through the clinical trial, Harrison said. “The money would go to funding research for all of the GM1 kiddos out there. Every single day matters for these kids. We’ve been pushing for the research to be advanced,” she said. “The donations have been unbelievable. We feel blessed.” Because of limited space in the 2020 trial, only Kinley will be part of the trial this year, leaving for the NIH in September; Kennedy will hopefully begin receiving treatment September 2021, Kylie said.

That said, because of the nature of the treatment, nothing is certain. The treatment relies on candidates having never built up antibodies to a specific virus used in the trial, meaning the family must avoid exposure to this virus in any way it can — similarly to the way it has been avoiding exposure to COVID-19. “That’s been hard. We were like a lot of the families that started to kind of loosen up a little bit” as guidelines related to the pandemic have changed, Harrison said. “We were doing things in the community that we thought were safe. Now, we don’t want anything to ruin her chances, so we’ve basically gone back into strict lockdown.” Amid the turmoil of navigating these adjustments she’s made to protect her two older daughters, Harrison has remained committed — perhaps even more than before — to donating to the MMB. “I wholeheartedly know what it’s like now to have your babies not be OK,” Harrison said. “It’s scary and you just want to do anything you can do to help them. If for another family, that’s providing breast milk, then I can do that.” Lenna Gregory, donor relations and outreach coordinator at MMB, said that because of their gratitude for Harrison’s support as their 15,000th donor, they are also sharing her family’s story to help support her. “For a mom to spend the extra time and energy to donate and follow our guidelines is such a generous gift. For Kylie to be doing this when she is under additional stress, that is just

amazing,” Gregory said. “This gives us an opportunity to show our support to her.” The bank is happy to report it is growing, having approved more than 1,000 donors during last year alone. It also dispensed over 750,000 ounces of milk in 2019; though the amount a baby may need to eat varies for each family, just one ounce of milk can sometimes be enough to feed a premature baby for an entire day. “For the original women who started the Mothers’ Milk Bank, it was really the vision to have donor milk available for every family and baby who wanted it,” Gregory said. “So we really like to celebrate these milestones. It gives us an opportunity to honor all of the women who have donated to us.” As for Harrison, she said that through the family’s mix of emotions, some of those that have risen to the surface have been hope and gratitude — including gratitude for the mutual support between her and the community. “It’s special that I can be that milestone for the milk bank,” she said. “15,000 donors is a lot. It just goes to show how many people are willing to help support each other.”

about when tours might resume, MillerCoors director of media relations said he was “looking into it” but has not given any additional response a week later. Dean and Aimee Valdez, who purchased the iconic Old Capitol Grill and Smokehouse three years ago, said that restaurant has been “impacted significantly by both the lack of tourists in general and the lack of tourists coming from Coors specifically.” “Since we opened three years ago in May we do see a nice bump in our business in the summer when all those folks come into town after doing that tour and are looking to shop and eat,” Aimee Valdez said. “So, it’s really a nice staple of our business and we certainly have missed that this summer.” According to Dean Valdez, business at the Old Capitol Grill and Smokehouse is down “50% from last summer with some days worse than that.” Although he can’t say for sure how much of the downturn can be attributed to the lack of tours specifically, he said he has determined they play a significant role because business is historically down on any day when tours are not offered. Other business owners are also feeling the pain. Donna Owen, the owner of downtown mainstay Avenue Gifts, told the Transcript earlier in August that she is closing her business largely because of the recent drop in tourism, with the loss of the tours being a significant part of that. According to the city’s official tourism website, visitgolden.com, the brewery tours typically attract around
A sign proclaiming that there are no tours taking place has been up outside the Coors Brewery since mid-March. PHOTO BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO 300,000 visitors to Golden each year. Not having those tours has created a different situation for the community and one that puts more pressure on affected businesses to find other types of customers, be they visitors or locals, said Golden’s Community and Economic Development Director Steve Glueck. However, Glueck said the actual impact of the lack of Coors tours versus other more general COVID-related challenges on businesses is difficult to determine. Furthermore, even if Coors were offering tours, Glueck said it is likely that the number of people taking the tours would be greatly reduced as many people remain leery of traveling and participating in activities like tours even where they are available. While Glueck said the community does not have any current data about the economic impact of the loss of the tours, he said it is something the city is preparing to study. As Golden continues to deal with a general drop
in tourism, there will also be a longerterm analysis of whether the economy should be more focused on people who live locally rather than visitors. Dean Valdez said that while he is certainly supportive of efforts to increase local patronage of businesses like his, particularly during the pandemic, he feels that Golden’s local population will never be able to match the economic impact made by visitors, particularly during the summer months. That’s why he is hoping Coors finds a way to resume the tours soon, even if special safety accommodations will surely need to be made. “I wish they would figure out a way with mask and social distancing requirements and plexiglass and things that would still enable people to enjoy the tour and then enjoy a beer at the end just like they enjoy a beer at our bar,” Dean said. “Because it’s just such a strong attraction.” In the meantime, however, Dean and Aimee said they are focused on doing
The weekend closures of Washington Avenue that the city began experimenting with in June will not continue. Golden Economic and Community Development director Steve Glueck said the Golden city council voted to implement those closures in order to allow more room for social distancing and dining in the street. However, Glueck saidmany businesses ended up telling the city they felt the closures were hurting rather than helping and the council ended up deciding not to continue them after July 4. “It didn’t turn out to be necessary,” Glueck said. “And street closures are always problematic for traffic and they tend to impact different business differently.” While the full closures have ended, Washington Avenue continues to be reduced to one-lane in each direction to provide additional outdoor dining space for restaurants. Glueck said city council is set to discuss how long to continue with allowing businesses to use the public right of way for outdoor dining at its Aug. 27 meeting. However, he said he expects that practice to continue at least through October. what they can to make sure their business survives until life returns to normal and activities such a as the tours resume. “I will be celebrating the day they announce they are bringing the tours back because that will be helpful for everybody,” Dean Valdez said.

Trials resume with precautions and an unprecedented backlog DA: ”We have a real crisis in the criminal justice system” BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On Aug. 3, prosecutors, defense attorneys and judges alike returned to the Jefferson County courthouse for the first jury trials in nearly five months to find a court system that, like the community it serves, has been completely changed by COVID-19. Many of the most obvious changes were in the actual courtrooms where plexiglass now separated judges and witnesses while all jurors were now masked and seated six feet apart. Then there is the daunting impact of all that didn’t happen during the last five months as the suspension of trials has created an unprecedented backlog of them in the First Judicial District (comprised of Jefferson and Gilpin counties). According to a document outlining the process for how jury trials would be resumed in the judicial district, there are 840 Jeffco jury trials scheduled for the final five months of 2020. While some of those trials will likely be pleaded out, it’s still stunning figuring consider that 374 Jeffco jury trials were held during the entirety of 2019. It’s a situation that adds up to what First Judicial District Attorney Pete Weir called “a real crisis in the criminal justice system brought on by COVID-19”—and its one that he says is exacerbated by the fact that the situ-
ation creates different incentives for prosecutors and defense attorneys. “The cascading effect of this is the defense bar and the public defenders have not been resolving cases,” Weir said. “They understand that this kind of backlog in the justice system works to the benefit of their client so they are exploiting the situation that we have with the courts.” Prioritizing of cases To resume trials while ensuring public safety, Chief Judge First Judicial District Chief Judge Jeffrey Pilkington has implemented a system that involves prioritizing the trials to be tried by asking district attorneys to submit an ordered list of which trials should be take place each day in order of their importance. A judge will then hold a conference at which both prosecutors and defense attorneys are present and the defense has a chance to tell the judge whether they want to take a plea, continue the case continued or proceed to trial. From there, the judge will then set the final list of trials to be tried on each particular day. That process is necessary, Weir said, to ensure that the court is only bringing in jurors for cases that it has confirmed are ready to go to trial as the court has now greatly reduced the number of potential jurors it is summonsing each day. According to Pilkington’s order, the district would routinely assemble 300 jurors at the same time in the court’s jury room (which has a capacity of 398) prior to COVID-19. However, the district is now bringing in few jurors at once and calling

only 18-40 potential jurors depending on the type of case with jurors now being assembled in four large rooms upon arrival to allow for social distancing. “That prioritization is really an attempt to say we can’t by a longshot try every case that needs to be tried so we are trying to identify the most critical, the most important cases and then the rest of the cases frankly just get kicked down the road and they get continued,” said Weir. Once a trial finally begins, social distancing requirements in the court room also create new challenges that simply didn’t exist in the past. For one thing, communication is often hindered when, for example, an attorney must be seated at least six feet away from their client. There are also challenges outside the court room as Weir said he has instructed his staff to continue working remotely, which Weir said “is not an efficient way to conduct our business given the nature of it.” But while the situation is an unprecedented challenge for the courts and DA’s office, the changes have not had a major impact on the Jeffco Sheriff ’s office according to its spokesman. “We were previously only doing
in-person trials, so to transition back to that is more the norm for us than what we’ve been doing the past few month,” said Michael Taplin, the public information officer for the Sherriff ’s Office.” But no more personnel are needed or anything like that.” While Weir said that he agrees with steps taken by both the courts to respond to COVID-19 by suspending trials, however he has deep concerns about where the situation has left the community. At the start of the crisis, Weir and his team dropped charges in more than 2,000 low level misdemeanor cases in an attempt to reduce some of the burdens on a court system forced to reduce operations. Weir said he worries those actions, combined with the current backlog in the courts and steps taken to reduce the population of the jail, have added up to a nearly impossible situation, putting people who have engaged in criminal activity back out on the street. “We have been concerned about overwhelming the healthcare system but we have absolutely overwhelmed our criminal justice system and as a result I am concerned about public safety and risks to the community from a crime perspective,” he said.

Sean Andrews and Desiree Andrews are accused of shooting and killing a dog BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
12 days after Lakewood Police found an adult female pit bull mix dog who had died of apparent gunshot wounds, police have made arrests in connection to the dog’s death. The department announced in a release that on Aug. 13 just before 7 p.m., officers and the Special Enforcement Team with Lakewood Police arrested 42-year-old Sean Andrews and 40-yearold Desiree Andrews for the shooting of the dog. The two suspects are both from Arvada and were arrested at a residence in the 2800 block of South Ivan Way in Denver. Both suspects were jailed at the Jefferson County Jail on charges of
aggravated cruelty to animals and possession of a weapon by a previous offender. Desiree Andrews was also charged for violation of bond conditions. The dog was found dead on Aug. 1 after Lakewood Police responded to calls of shots fired near the intersection of 12th and S. Andrews Teller. Police say witnesses saw a woman and a man pull up and park near the intersection in a silver Chrysler 300. The woman shot the dog while the man struggled with it and held it down, the release says. The suspects immediately D. Andrews fled the scene, and police are still searching for the silver Chrysler 300. The vehicle has an expired Colorado temporary tag 1681668.

Republican candidates decry threat of vandalism found on Golden billboard Pro-life billboard vandalized twice in one week BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After a Golden billboard displaying a pro-life message was vandalized for the second time in a week, two Republican candidates for state and U.S. House seats held a press event in front of the billboard where they decried the threat posed by violence and vandalism they say is spreading from Denver into Golden and other suburban communities. “This type of activity, it may start with a billboard, but eventually it’s going to be in your home and then after that it is going to be on you,” said Casper Stockham, the Republican candidate running against Ed Perlmutter for the 7th Congressional District seat. “So that’s why it is important to call attention to this now and put a stop to it now before it goes any further.” Perlmutter put out a public statement following the death of George Floyd and the protests that spread nationwide afterwards, calling for police restraint and protestors to remain peaceful. He also gave public support for several house bills, addressing police brutality and racial inequality, including the Justice in Policing Act. According to Laurel Imer, the Republican candidate for Colorado House District 24 (which includes Golden and Wheat Ridge), one side of

Casper Stockham, the Republican candidate for Colorado’s 7th Congressional district seat, stands behind her next to a cardboard cutout of his opponent, incoming Democrat Ed Perlmutter who has been dressed in a Trump 2020 hat. PHOTO BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO the two-sided pro-life billboard at the intersection of South Golden Road and Mount Vernon Road had been vandalized on the night of Aug. 10. That time, the eyes of baby shown on the billboard had been blacked out and a joint had been drawn in its mouth while the words “Feed Me Fetus” and “Abort Us All” had been written on it. Imer said the billboard image was removed after that initial vandalism. However, the same side of the nowblank billboard was again vandalized Friday with an image of a pig and the anti-police term “ACAB” (All Cops are
Bastards). Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office Public Information Officer Michael Taplin confirmed that sheriff ’s deputies had taken a report, but there is no suspect information. “So unless anyone comes forward with any info, taking a report is about all we can do,” Taplin told Colorado Community Media. “This is coming into our lives and it needs to stop,” said Imer during the conference. “I stand for law and order and I stand for prosecuting who vandalize private property and public
property. Imer said she had become concerned about vandalism and other destructive behavior coming out to Jefferson County after attending a recent pro-police rally where police were told to stand down against counter protesters, which she said had participated in vandalism. However, Imer said she was fully supportive of the Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office, which she said “will not stand down in the face of this.” Both Imer and Stockham said they are supportive of people’s free speech rights and peaceful protesting but are not supportive of violence and vandalism. Imer also took aim at her Democratic opponent and HD24 incumbent Monica Duran. Imer said she claims that Duran wants to defund the police because Duran has “not denouncing the violence caused by the rioters and domestic terrorists in our community” and “the fact that her party is pushing a platform to abolish the police and is a rubber stamp for their agenda until she says otherwise.” “That is not the message that this community that I grew up in wants, this is not what the community residents represent,” Imer said. “It’s time for change so vote in November up and down the ticket red.” Neither the state or national Democratic party’s most recent party platforms list “defunding the police” as a policy goal. As of press time, Duran had not returned a call from Colorado Community Media asking for a response to Imer’s statement.

ach and every day in Colorado, there are more than 2 million rear-end collisions caused by motorists following too closely, resulting in numerous injuries and deaths and millions of dollars in auto repairs and medical care. It is a known fact that there are no tailgaters in heaven. They all go south. Nevertheless, the problem persists. Or: Is it a problem? If it’s routine, then maybe it’s not a problem. Maybe I’m the problem. Maybe it’s unAmerican to be a good driver. That must be it. There is a three-way stop near me. If ever three cars arrive at the same time, the odds
are 50-50 that someone won’t stop or someone will enter the intersection when it’s not their turn. If someone can’t figure out a three-way stop, maybe they shouldn’t be allowed to wed. Have children. Vote. Then again, it could just be that I’m the one who is out of step. If everyone is doing it, it can’t be wrong, right? It does make me wonder how half the people on the road passed their driver’s test. (I guess we can all behave for 10 or 15 minutes.) Come ride with me: If we can get from here to Home Depot without witnessing 10 moving violations I’ll buy you a velocipede.
Did you know it’s against the law to park on the wrong side of the street in a residential neighborhood? Some of my neighbors haven’t heard the news. If someone doesn’t know which side of the street to park on, maybe they shouldn’t be allowed to order Chinese. Or own a dish washer. I probably expect too much of people.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Winner of My Discontent Our world desperately needs a makeover despite her natural beauty. Pocked with immorality, injustice, unfettered greed, poverty, famine, and hatred, it is hard to pick the biggest scab. The top trouble on my list is lawlessness. From monument molesters to mask militia (self-appointed enforcers of mask mandates), today’s common law is for everyone to do what is right in his or her own eyes. Thus, lawlessness that began as a small offshore swell is hitting the beach with tsunamic rage. This surge in lawlessness is not surprising to Bible readers. Rather, it is the fulfillment of prophecy concerning our time. “Lawlessness will abound,” said Jesus concerning the end of this age. It caps my concerns because, according to prophecy, lawlessness is a harbinger of worse days to come – at least for those that reject Jesus, the Prince of Peace, in deference to any and every alternative cure. Foolishness? Before dismissing the Bible’s predictions for the future, consider its track record. Centuries before Jesus made his first appearance, Bible prophecies identified

God’s champion with such precision that, by comparison, DNA identification is paltry guesswork. Such prophetic perfection stands unrivaled in human history so it certainly warrants our attention to its prognosis. Some will deny the presence of storm clouds lurking over the horizon by dismissing the biblical forecast as archaic nonsense at best. The best we can hope for is that many will heed the warning knowing that those who do not learn prophecy are destined to regret it.

ometimes, as a parent, you realize that you should have waited a few years to name your children. Like, in our case, we named our oldest Elizabeth; but, what became clear a few years later was that, given a second chance at namHITTING ing her, we could have HOME easily chosen “Grace.” Why Grace? Because from almost the moment she could walk, she could dance. We put her in Michael Alcorn youth soccer for a season, but that wasn’t her cup of tea — every time she would start running towards the ball, it was with a ‘releve’ (a move up onto the balls of her feet) followed by a little hop-skip. She wasn’t very fast, but it always looked great. Grace is defined as “simple elegance or refinement;” I think of grace as the ability to handle difficult and make it look easy. We say that of graceful athletes — they make very difficult movements look effortless. We also say that of people, those who deal with difficult other people or situations without losing their cool are said to have “grace.” When I think of grace, I think of the late Princess

Dianna, and now Princess Kate seems to following very much in her mold. I also, happily, have lately been able to consider my employers at Jefferson County Schools as people handling this fall with “Grace.” In particular was one email sent to all employees describing the various processes through which we would be delivering instruction the year, and acknowledging that many families will be making decisions that effect both our communities and our bottom line. But the district’s advice was this: no matter which decision a parent tells us they’re making, we should answer “I know that is a difficult decision to come to, and I know you’re trying to do the best thing you can for your family, and we will do whatever we can to support your decision.” In how many walks of life over the last six months have you seen organizations, governing bodies, or even individuals respond to the situation we’re all in with that sort of grace? I haven’t seen it much. Mostly what I’ve seen is self-righteous moral certitude disguised as compassion or logic. Maybe Grace should be the template for how we all start to deal with each other.

My coronavirus name change
uring the great shakeup of COVID-19, as I was deep cleaning my house, it occurred to me, why am I still calling myself Mary Stobie? Yes, I married Mr. M. Stobie, my first husband in 1979. But when we divorced 24 years later in 2004, I could have changed my name back to Mary McFerren. What made things complicated, I had been writing newspaper columns for 20 years as Mary Stobie. During this period of spilling my guts in 750 words or less, I was syndicated by the Chicago Tribune. I wrote about becoming a soccer mom, my dad who survived prison camp, and my concerns about the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Because the Chicago Tribune syndicated my columns, I felt like I had hit the big time. I did cartwheels on my front lawn. My neighbors gossiped about my having no gymnastic talent and why was I trying cartwheels at my age on my front lawn? Meanwhile before I hiked in Three Sisters Open Space every day, I wrote columns for the

through (boy, I can’t tell you how sick I am of *that* word). Nobody knows exactly what the right thing to do is. I mean, we’re starting to get some clarity, based on six months of fumbling about, but there’s still a lot of uncertainty. Imagine if our answer to those around us was, “I believe you’re trying to do the best thing you can for your family,” instead of what seems to be the default reaction, “You’re an idiot.” I will acknowledge that that answer does nothing to preserve us from economic ruin; that answer will do nothing to put out the 100,000+ acres of forest burning in Colorado right now, or clear the skies of the constant

But, maybe, that answer will help us begin to stitch small pieces of our community back together, so that when all those other calamities effect one of us personally, there will be enough grace in the room to put together a scaffold of support to pull us through.

Squirrel in the Box
ovid 19 has educators facing a serious risk to the health and safety of their students and themselves. As a retired teacher after 46 years in GUEST the classroom, I now have the privilege of COLUMN being a supervisor Catherine Kopp for student teachers as they ready themselves for their entry into the field of education. I am often asked if I have ever experienced anything like the corona virus in my career. I reply that I have not, but there were other challenges long before this. It was my first year teaching in a small New England town in 1973. During recess, a shy, soft-spoken girl came to me and asked if she could bring her pet squirrel for Show and Tell. She told me Mr. Squirrel lived in the trees behind her house. Being naïve and never imaging that she would catch the darn thing, I told her she could. Several weeks later, she showed up to the classroom looking somewhat bedraggled with a huge smile on her face and holding a box. Having forgotten our earlier conversation, I asked her what was in the box. It immediately became obvious when the squirrel poked his head out of the hole he had been furiously chewing during his journey to school. Before I could respond, Mr. Squirrel squeezed the rest of his body out of the opening and jumped onto the nearest object, one of my sixth grade boys who had been standing nearby. The fearful beast clung to the boy’s shoulder and bit him on the neck. This resulted in screaming and panic from all as the unwelcome visitor jumped from desk to desk. Alerted by the chaos, my teammate, a

I sent the ‘bitten child’ to the nurse and within minutes, the door opened and we were instructed to return. We noticed that all the windows in our third floor classroom were now wide open. The young girl asked where her squirrel was. She was told by my teammate that Mr. Squirrel was most likely ‘on his way home’. The boy returned to the classroom with a bandage on his neck and a limp to his step. It was the early 70’s. Back then the school nurse just told him to wash the bite with soap and water. She then put a Band-Aid on his wound and sent him back to class. He flaunted the bandage like one would a Purple Heart for he had been wounded in the action. I still do not know how the limp came about. I think it was just to add to the drama. COVID-19 is a Squirrel in the Box. There is no band-aid that can be applied. One person carrying the virus into a room can endanger the health and safety of all. Right now there is no window to remove the threat. It will require a strong partnership with the staff of each school and the community they serve to control this hidden danger. I respect and admire the dedicated educators as they return to meet the diverse needs of their students both remotely and in the classroom while being wary of any holes in the box.

Stanley Kurtz, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of Spreading the Wealth, joined Mark Levin on Life, Liberty & Levin on July 22 to discuss this issue. He said, “The bottom line is that AFFH ... would radically undercut the political and economic independence of America’s suburbs.” Kurtz said that the Trump Administration just suspended the rule at first but have since put an end to AFFH. What will happen If Joe Biden is elected president in November? It is likely, according to Kurtz, that Biden will impose “AFFH turbo charged” on suburbs. President Trump will not harm the

The moms mistake each other’s children, but all ends well. Berries are perfect for young children. They are the right size to pick, count, and eat. They are little, but packed with vitamins and minerals. If children are wary of vegetables, try offering berries. Picking Berries Berry picking is a great way to get the family outside and let children munch as you gather some to take home. They can combine their pails for blueberry snacks, pies, pancakes and muffins or place a bowl next to plates at any meal. Then talk about what animals like to eat berries. There are many fiction books about berries. You can have a little economics lesson. Discuss how food gets to our grocery stores and why berries are expensive. What people bring berries to market like farmers, pickers, truck drivers, packers, and grocery store employees? Show children how to freeze hand -picked or store bought berries. Spread them flat on cookie sheets so they do not touch each other and place in the freezer. When they are hard, transfer them to freezer bags and lay flat in the freezer.

freedoms of suburbanites in this way. C.S. Boddie, South Jeffco Durkin to defend us Most of us who receive this newspaper live in relatively quiet communities. Does releasing more felons into the community seem like a way to preserve this status. As we read the papers and look around the country we see many felons being released without bail. Often due to the Covid situation. Does continuing this method seem like a good idea to you? The news is reporting that some of these folks are returning to criminal activities. When folks, who’s method of earning a living is crime, are released back into the community without work training or jobs, what does it seem the likely outcome will be? To me it seems likely to be more crime. It has been said “If your only tool is a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail!”. Felon’s with only crime as their tool, who are released without a chance for proper training and rehabilitation, are doomed to fail. Programs exist for these cases and need to be utilized. This is why I am supporting Matt Durkin for Jefferson County District Attorney. His respect for law and order and the community will help provide the safety and security we enjoy living in Jefferson County. We only need to look at the damage in Denver and Aurora to see
Kid’s Freezer Jam Children can smash some berries and add a few drops of honey for fresh jam, cream cheese, and a bagel. Freezer jam takes only 30 minutes and can have little sugar. This jam uses pectin, a natural thickening agent found in and around plant cell walls that helps bind those cells together. Jars can be kept in the freezer for a year or refrigerator for three months. Low sugar freezer jam recipes are found on premium pectin for less or no sugar needed packages in the canning aisle and surejell.com. Kids’ Muffins For easy blueberry muffins you will need 1 cup soy milk, and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar set aside in a bowl. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl mix 2 cups flour, 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. In another bowl mix ½ cup plus 2 Tablespoons sugar, ¼ cup plus 2 Tablespoons oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add a little zest of lemon, if desired. Stir the flour mixture bowl into the sugar mixture bowl. (You may want to save some of the flour to coat the blueberries.) Pour in the soy milk and vinegar curdled mixture. Stir. Finally, fold in the blueberries gently and place in 25 muffin papers in a muffin pan. Bake 20-25 minutes at 375 degrees. Serve cool. Esther Macalady is a retired teacher in Golden, Colorado.

William Hineser, Arvada COVID-19 exposes factory farm cruelty The Farm System Reform Act (S. 3221)/H.R. 6781) offers us an alternative to the current factory farm system fraught with a multitude of ethical, environmental, and public health issues. These concentrated animal feeding facilities (CAFO’s) subject 10 billion animals every year in the United States to crowded and confined conditions, robbing them of their ability to carry out their most basic and natural behavior. CAFO’s also subject workers to hazardous conditions as these men and women are being forced to go to work despite slaughterhouses being virus hotspots. The Farm System Reform Act would immediately halt the expansion of new CAFO’s, phase out the operation of all large CAFO’s by 2040, provide funding for farmers transitioning to more sustainable and human agriculture, and hold CAFO’s accountable for the harm they cause.

In these hazy times, it’s nice to have a place to reconnect with the past AVENUE FLASHES
John Akal
L
ast night I was watching one of the local 10 o’clock news broadcasts and I saw something I’ve never seen before during the weather segment. It was a smoke report. Now, I’m not just talking about a satellite image of where the smoke from our recent forest fires was, I’m talking about an actual animation forecast of where the wind was likely to be blowing those massive clouds and an hourly prediction of when the smoke was going to be blowing into different areas and causing air quality problems. It was pretty amazing and actually really helpful in illustrating which areas you might want to avoid at different times of the day, if possible. I know. Just when you started to get a handle on where you can go, what places are open, what their new operational hours are and began getting used to wearing a mask everywhere, Mother Nature had to jump in and throw us a curve ball. As I was watching the reports of all this smoke and looking at pictures of the pretty orange sunsets, I started thinking that maybe there was kind of a mixed blessing going on since we all have to wear masks everywhere anyway. I remembered seeing pictures of the places like Beijing, China where most people have been wearing masks due to the heavy air pollution for years. I thought, well at least this time around we’re all better prepared to deal with the smoke and have these masks. But just as soon as that thought crossed my mind, the newscaster came on and said that our virus masks aren’t really very effective
in filtering out smoke. So much for killing two birds with one stone, or in this case, one mask. So, this week I’m going to focus on some things you can do here in Golden that don’t have a rigid time table and allows you to go when the smoke clears, so to speak. I’m going to throw the spotlight on our very own Golden History Museum and Park. First of all, the museum itself is open on a more limited schedule than usual. It is operating every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. and admission if free. If you have never been there, you owe it to yourself to go check it out because it’s really a very nice little museum and has lots of cool things from Golden’s past that give you a real sense of all the things that went on around here in days gone by. Forget about movies depicting the Wild West, your living in it right here and now. That “Howdy Folks, Welcome to Golden, Where the West Lives” sign across Washington Avenue isn’t just some Hollywood prop, it’s there to let you know you are in one of the real deal places that helped shape the history of the West. Stop by the Golden History Museum and find out what we mean by that. Now, in addition to the museum itself, right across the bridge on the other side of Clear Creek is the Golden History Park and that’s open every day for you to explore. It is actually open day and night as it never really closes — open access most of the time and also free to visit. I’ve mentioned special things going
on there numerous times in this column, such as the Homestead Open House that happen every Saturday during the Summer. That’s where they have volunteers stationed at various locations in period costumes, reenacting things like blacksmithing and teaching in a one room school house. But, if you can’t make it there on a Saturday, just drop by and take a look whenever you want. One of the coolest things available right now is a free do-it-yourself walking tour of historical places right in downtown Golden. Just go to the website, www.goldenhistory. org, and look for Walking Tour under the Visit for Free tab. You can download a map and it has some historical information about places like the original Jolly Rancher ice cream and candy shop, the Golden Armory, the old Territorial Capitol and about a dozen other points of interest. Then you just pick a time, put on your walking shoes and follow the map. The Golden History Museum is located at 923 10th Street in Golden and has plenty of free parking too. This is a really great place to start your own Wild West adventure and you can go when the smoke clears.

Film on the Rocks is back, with a twist BY ELI IMADALI DENVERITE
For 20 years, movie lovers have flocked to Red Rocks Park for Film on the Rocks, an outdoor film series set in Colorado’s famous amphitheater. Today, Denver Film announced that the series will return this summer, but with a twist. Instead of viewing the films from the stands, guests will be able to watch from the safety of their cars. For its 21st year, Film on the Rocks has been adapted into a drive-in movie experience. Rather than being staged out of the amphitheater itself, the films will now be screened out of Red Rocks’ Lower South Lot 2 parking area, which can accommodate up to 300 cars. Guests will watch the films on a large LED screen, and can tune into the audio through a designated FM station via their car radios.
They’ll also be able to remain in their cars — and their quarantine groups. The series’ coordinators came up with this new plan after several discussions about how to make the series safe for guests during the pandemic. “As one of our most anticipated events each and every year, we’re excited to reinvent this year’s program and get some of our valued guests back to Red Rocks,” said venue manager Tad Bowman. “No matter what it looks like, it’s a great line-up of films being presented in the shadow of this iconic venue.” That lineup includes cult films and classics, like Scream, Robocop, The Goonies and Grease, as well as more recent hits like Into The Spiderverse. The shows began on Aug. 13, with Red Rocks screening a different film at 7:30 for four consecutive nights each week. “Like every other Film on the
Rocks and Red Rocks experience, it’s going to be different and it’s going to be memorable,” said Denver Film Festival director Britta Erickson. “We knew just how important it would be to get back to Red Rocks and enjoy the films and the historic surroundings in some way.” Tickets will go for $59.50 per car and will cover the cost of admission for every passenger. Each car will also receive a snack package that includes two bottles of Coca-Cola product, City Pop popcorn, and theater-sized M&M’s and Twizzlers. Tickets are on sale now.

Musicians reflect on challenges of COVID-19 BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
I
t was Feb. 24 when Jason Justice and his four bandmates in Gumbo le Funque, a New Orleans-style funk group, believed they were each coming down with the flu. Their symptoms came on right during Mardi Gras season, the band’s busiest time of year, and for days, the group played long strings of gigs as their symptoms grew worse. Looking back on the events, Justice isn’t surprised that he and his bandmates soon learned they had COVID-19. But at the time, the news was unexpected — and the band had no way of knowing that the illness they were facing was just the beginning of a long struggle that Justice says is far from over. “The whole bottom fell out of the industry,” said Justice, the band’s lead singer and saxophone player. He listed the major hurdles the band has faced: The two-and-a-half-months shutdown in which local musicians weren’t playing at all; the many venues that have stayed closed throughout the summer; and an ongoing Denver County order requiring performers to wear SEE MUSIC, P17

n r eople love dogs. A lot. c Take a walk down any street in the metro area, pop a squat at almost any patio or take any trail, and you’re bound to meet a pooch or two. Which makes “Dogs! A Science Tail” — the newest exhibit the Denver Museum of Nature & F Science — a perfect fit for a town like Denver. m COMING “This exhibit b ATTRACTIONS is all about the f special bond between humans t and canines,” h a said Jennifer Moss-Logan, t content special- o ist and educator d with the museum. “So many a people took the i Clarke Reader opportunity to n rescue dogs during this quarantine… so, this is a c great time for people to learn more D i about their pets.” The exhibit runs at the museum, b 2001 Colorado Blvd., through the end of the year. Entry requires a w timed ticket and museum admis- o i sion. R “Dogs! A Science Tail” offers visitors a bevy of ways to get into o d the mind, body and history of man’s best friend. In the Incredibleb Dog portion, guests can learn how m their running speed compares to v the speeds of various dogs, from a pug (which runs about 5 miles o per hour) to a greyhound (which h clocks in at about 44). Guest can t r also watch dual screens, which compare how the world appears to c s people and dogs. J “We wanted to offer activities that people can do in small groups o while social distancing from other m visitors,” said Neha Sandvig, pro- F gram specialist and educator with the museum. “We also have activities that provide training experiences, to show how dogs learn.” A particularly fascinating portion of the exhibit is a Tail as Old as Time, which explores the origins of dogs and how they were domesticated by ancient people. While the most moving parts of the exhibit are found in the Dogs and Humans, Together Forever, which examines how dogs and humans live and work together. Guests can play with a virtual dog, test their dog knowledge in “Jeopawdy!” and much more. “When these kinds of national exhibits come here, guests are getting the very best experience of it anywhere,” said Moss-Logan. “During these times, we’re using a lot of virtual experiences to connect with visitors, and we hope these options offer new insights.”

In August, he’ll play two gigs and in September, three — less than a third of the number of gigs he played over the same two months in 2019. Across the board, bands are facing a different extent of what Justice calls a disaster, based on the band’s following, whether it’s a local, regional or national act and other factors. But regardless of how deeply musicians have been affected by COVID-19, Denver artists agree: No one’s made it unscathed, making every show a blessing. “By the time March rolled around, we had to cancel three months’ worth of shows,” said Amy Brophy, bassist in rock, blues and alternative band Riverside Drive. “Even now, 90% of our venues are able to pay what they did last summer. It’s been a big step back for a band trying to gain momentum, but we’re so grateful these venues are having live music at all.” Despite the discouraging nature of the challenges local musicians have faced over the past five months, those challenges made it all the more rewarding this summer, when musicians have been able to return to the stage. As he considers the hurdles, Justice remembers a night a couple of months ago, when he and a fellow musician played their first gig since Feb. 29. “For the two of us to be able to play

Clarke’s Concert of the Week - The Allman Betts Band at the Red Room Sound Studio There are some things that just seem like destiny. That’s the case with The Allman Betts Band, which sees the joining of Devon Allman (Gregg Allman’s son) and Duane Betts (Dickey Betts’ son) together with Berry Oakley Jr. (son of original Allman Brothers Band bassist Berry Oakley), and other brilliant musicians for a new take on classic sounds. The group is gearing up to release their sophomore album, “Bless Your Heart,” and will be livestreaming a performance at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 23 from Red Room Sound Studio in Torrington, Conn.
Streaming style - ‘Banana Split’ Those missing summertime adventures with friends won’t want to miss the buddy comedy “Banana Split,” winner of the best narrative feature award at the 2019 Vail Film Festival. The film focuses on the importance of female friendship rather than romance during the formative high school years and allows for hilarious and sharply-written characters to come to the fore. The movie has traces of films like “Booksmart” and “Superbad,” and is all kinds of fun. Stream the film on Netflix.
music together, it was really incredible. Music is the reason I get up in the morning and put my horn together and keep practicing, keep writing,” he said. “There are gigs coming back, but it’s been a wild ride.”
some bring lawn chairs and listen to musicians while staying six feet apart in the parking lot, Kane said. “They’re excited to get out of the house and be able to do something different that’s not in their house or just eating at a restaurant,” she said. “We’ve been known for our music and since we could bring it back, we did.” As they navigate the new normal for live music, venues have tried a variety of new tactics. For instance, Herman’s Hideaway at 1578 S. Broadway in Denver has taken a slow approach to reintroducing shows, has asked musicians to bring their own microphones and even had one singer stand behind a Plexiglas barrier during a performance, said talent buyer Chris Thomas. “We’re a little bit more on the cautious side,” he said. “It’s not business as usual. But the community in general has had a desire to make it work, and I’m optimistic.” Just as much as the teams at Herman’s Hideaway and Blue Spruce Brewing wanted to restore a part of normal life for guests, they also reinstated the music for the benefit of local musicians. “The musicians I have brought back are so excited to be able to play and they’re very grateful,” Kane said. Local restaurants’ and bars’ commitment to hiring musicians when they can has made all the difference for many of the acts in the area, including Twenty Hands High, a country and southern rock band that plays in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and other regional states. The two-and-a-half months that CW Wooten, guitar player and singer in the band, couldn’t play any gigs, “it was like sliding into a complete halt,”
he said. “It was awful to be cut off from your fans and even your bandmates.” About $25,000 worth of gigs were canceled for Wooten, including shows as far in advance as September. That said, since the summer began, things have been looking up for the musician and his fairly well-known band, which has tens of thousands of followers on Facebook. In July and August 2019, Wooten played 32 gigs; in July and August 2020, he’ll play 29. Not all venues can pay their typical rates, he added, but many are trying their best to do so. “We did 150 shows last year, and we’re on track do more than 100 shows this year,” Wooten said. “Outdoor venues are probably the biggest thing keeping live music going right now because you have a little more leeway with the restrictions.” Considering that, Wooten said it’s important for musicians that the rate of COVID’s spread declines before the winter months, when outdoor venues will no longer be an option. He remains optimistic, adding how grateful he’s been for venues’ support and his fans’ support — even some higher-risk fans have found ways to listen to outdoor shows by setting up in nearby parks, away from crowds, he said. Similarly to Wooten, Brophy said she hopes the industry could rebound — she just doesn’t know when. “I think a lot of people will retain that fear, but my hope is that we will return to normal because we have to move forward,” she said. “That our fans are going to get out there and weather the storm, that’s the hope and the dream that most musicians are holding onto.”
The state of live music now Not all venues in the Denver area that previously had live music have brought that element back, or even reopened at all. Justice said several of his regular venues have told him that, due to the cost of opening at limited capacity, they plan to keep their doors shut until March or April of 2021. However, the state of Colorado does have guidelines, last updated in June, for those who choose to reinstate live music. The guidelines require that patrons are seated 25 feet or further from performers. Working within these guidelines hasn’t been possible for every area venue. But for some, like Blue Spruce Brewing Company, bringing back live music has been both possible and a priority in recent months. The brewery, which has locations at 4151 E. County Line Road in Centennial and 10577 W. Centennial Road in Littleton, held its first show since the pandemic on July 4 and has been inviting more musicians to play since then. “Even from last year, we doubled our sales (made during live shows) just because people are dying to experience live music,” said co-owner Theresa Kane. In the Littleton location specifically, the brewery holds weekly shows on Thursday nights on its patio, which it expanded to accommodate social distancing through a county variance. During shows, guests fill the patio and

Jeffco coaches and athletes adjust to a pandemic season Football and volleyball won’t happen this fall BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Golden Demons High School football team members had just showed up to their first week of training camp on Aug. 3 when coaches, led by Head Coach Jared Yannacito, huddled their players up. Yannacito had just received word that high school football in Colorado will kickoff in the spring rather than in the fall because of the pandemic. Some players cried because they were devastated that they wouldn’t get to play in the coming weeks while others saw the season being pushed back as an opportunity to get stronger and better before the spring. “It was mixed emotions across the board. That’s for my players and coaches,” said Yannacito. “Personally, I was grateful that we have a season. I’m just really glad that the (Colorado High School Activities Association, or CHSAA) didn’t cancel the season and not find a way for us to play.” Like Golden High School’s football team, other Jeffco Public Schools athletes and coaches are coming to terms with the fact that most high school fall sports won’t happen this year. CHSAA announced on Aug. 4 that high school
Golden High School quarterback Joey Mancuso throws a pass against Grand Junction High School last fall. High school football has been pushed back to the spring because of the coronavirus pandemic. COURTESY OF JOEY MANCUSO football, girls’ volleyball, boys’ soccer, field hockey, gymnastics and unified bowling will be played in the spring rather than in the fall. Other sports like cross country, boys’ tennis, boys’ golf and softball will compete in a modified fall schedule. Joey Mancuso, a senior quarterback for Golden High School, echoed Yannacito saying he’s grateful CHSAA is planning for a spring football season, but admitted being disappointed football won’t happen in 2020. He said he believes the extended offseason
will help him better master the team’s playbook and prepare for games. “The biggest thing is we were disappointed. We were excited to get back, but we realized there are a lot of positives (for having a spring season),” said Mancuso. “Everything is getting more serious, and the fact that we have (multiple) guys on the field, and we’re playing against different schools — it’s a good thing we’re playing in the spring because of the risk COVID holds during football. My teammates and me were
nervous about playing during this outbreak,” he said. Other Jeffco Public Schools seniors like Stella Bianco, a volleyball player for Arvada West High School, are also adjusting to having some fall sports canceled. Bianco was attending open gym practices twice a week in July at Arvada West and said her and her teammates wore masks when attending practice. She said she’ll miss the atmosphere of high school volleyball this fall and seeing her classmates in the stands cheering her and her team on. “With coronavirus, it’s hard to do team bonding and get into that team mindset, because it’s harder to be around people,” said Bianco. “I’ll miss the girls the most. It’s a missed opportunity to bond with those girls and play with the team.” At Wheat Ridge High School, Scott Chamberlin is preparing for his 25th year as head coach for the school’s cross-country team. Regular season meets have been cutdown from 11 to seven, and teams are allowed to bring as many runners to a meet as long as they remain in compliance with the maximum of 50 athletes per gender. Neither junior varsity or open races are permitted to be run at varsity meets, but schools are allowed to host a junior varsity meet or an open race separate from SEE SPORTS, P31
Cycling event survives with move to Castle Rock Young competitors tackle 6-mile course at Miller Park BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dave Muscianisi did not know if he would be able to put on the Colorado Junior Cup in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The three-year-old youth cycling competition is typically held in Bailey after nine to 12 months of planning. Muscianisi, the race founder and director, could have held the competition in Bailey again this year if he ran the races as a time trial, he said. That would have meant a competitor would leave the start chute every two minutes, but that was not an ideal format, he said. Muscianisi was ready to cancel. Then he got word Castle Rock would allow him to hold his race in town with a set up more similar to a traditional mass start. Muscianisi organized his event in three weeks, and on Aug. 15, young cycling enthusiasts took on a 6-mile course at Philip S. Miller Park. “We just wanted to have an event that brought kids together,” Muscianisi said. Despite evading cancellation, the Colorado Junior Cup looked different this year, Muscianisi said. He blocked out the day’s schedule

to try and limit crowd sizes. Cyclists can register to compete in the event as soon as they are able to walk through age 18. Races for the four age brackets were scheduled to begin at 8:15 a.m. and go past 2:30 p.m. He spaced the finish and start lines 2,000 feet apart. Spectators were discouraged from congregating at either. Registration was held in The Millhouse building a suitable distance from the course, he said. In other years, the young cyclists pile on top of each other at the start SEE CYCLING, P19

Taya Tousley, 10, stands at her father’s tent at the Colorado Junior Cup after placing second in her age bracket earlier that day. called TAIR Cycles, a custom bike shop based in Golden, after Taya’s passion for cycling ignited. He specializes in custom, lightweight bikes built specifically for juvenile cyclists. While running a tent at the 2020 race, Tousley spaced his display bikes six feet apart, wore a mask and tried to follow social distancing, he said. As a small business, cycling events give him a critical opportunity to spread the word about TAIR, he said. He also considered that competitors were children and wanted them to have “a little bit of normalcy,” he said. Both issues were ultimately what swayed him into attending the 2020 Colorado Junior Cup. “You hope people are being responsible,” he said.

line when their race is ready to begin. To scale that down Muscianisi set up “a monstrously long start chute,” he said, lining cyclists up four across and spacing their rows apart. About 250 racers competed in the Colorado Junior Cup this year, roughly 25 more than last year. Taya Tousley, of Golden, was beaming after finishing second in the girls 11-to-14 age bracket. The 10-year-old typically finishes in third or fourth, she said, and was excited to see improvement. She started racing roughly two years ago an instantly fell in love with cycling, she said. “I like that I get to push myself and I just really enjoy the sport,” she said. “I try to go to every race that I can.” The Colorado Junior Cup was her first race in nearly a year, as the pandemic cancelled events in the past few months, she said. “It feels really, really good to race again,” she said. Tony Tousley, Taya’s father, said he almost did not bring his family to the event. A lieutenant for Aurora Fire Rescue, Tousley said he understands the health risks of COVID-19. “It’s hard, it’s just such an unknown time right now,” he said. “There’s mixed feelings for sure.” Tousley launched a small startup

In Case No. 13CW3058, the court ruled that the conditional decree for the remaining 6,363 acre-feet was maintained in full force and effect. vi. Use: Pursuant to the decree in Case No. 87CW335, water will be used for all beneficial uses of the municipal water system of Westminster, including, but not limited to, domestic, irrigation, commercial, industrial, recreation, fish and wildlife, augmentation, replacement and exchange purposes. 4. Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application to a beneficial use: A. The water rights decreed in Case No. 87CW335 are part of Westminster’s Clear Creek Water Supply System, an integrated system under § 37-92-301(4)(b), C.R.S. During the diligence period, Westminster has continued the development of its Clear Creek Water Supply System. Activities have included, among other things: acquisition of additional interests in water on Clear Creek and its tributaries and the South Platte River; prosecuting Water Court applications to incorporate said interests into the City’s Water Supply System; exercising conditional water rights and making portions absolute or obtaining diligence decrees on the remaining conditional portions; completing negotiations on an amended contract for the construction of an additional storage vessel; participating in project to rehabilitate the Farmers’ High Line Canal headgate on Clear Creek; participating in Lower Clear Creek/Colorado Agricultural Ditch bifurcation structure project; and, participating in numerous Water Court cases for purposes of protecting, maintaining and developing Westminster’s Water Supply System. Expenses associated with these activities have been incurred during the diligence period. In addition, in connection with the operation of the Clear Creek Water Supply System and during the diligence period, Westminster has diverted portions of the water rights originally decreed in Case No. 87CW335, and maintained in Case No. 97CW240, Case No. 05CW55 and Case No. 13CW3058, for use in Westminster’s Clear Creek Water Supply System. B. During the diligence period, Westminster continued to operate under the carriage agreement with the Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company for the use of excess capacity in the Farmers’ High Line Canal. This agreement allows Westminster to carry additional water through the Farmers’ High Line Canal, including water carried in the Farmers’ High Line Canal in accordance with the decree entered in Case No. 87CW335. Westminster is contractually obligated to pay an annual fee for use of the Farmers’ High Line Canal. Westminster has continually made these payments during the diligence period. C. During the diligence period, Westminster has paid substantial amounts in annual assessments to the Farmers’ High Line Canal. Said assessments have been used in part to fund annual operations and maintenance activities associated with the Farmers’ High Line Canal. The conditional water rights that are the subject of this Application directly involve the Farmers’ High Line Canal. D. During the prior diligence period, the Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company designed and constructed improvements to the Clear Creek headgate. This project was completed in 2013 and significant costs, (including Westminster’s pro-rata share of the same), were incurred during the diligence period. The conditional water rights that are the subject of this Application directly involve the Farmers’ High Line Canal. E. During the diligence period, Westminster has participated in various Division No. 1 Water Court cases in an effort, in part, to protect and maintain the historical use patterns on Clear Creek. Said expenses have been incurred during the diligence period. F. During the diligence period, in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019, Westminster diverted water through the Farmers’ High Line Canal in accordance with the water rights decreed in Case No. 87CW335. This water was put to beneficial use consistent with C.R.S. § 37-92103(4) during the diligence period. G. During the diligence period, Westminster diverted water in the Farmers’ High Line Canal under Westminster Water Works Direct Flow Water Right and diverted and stored water in Standley Lake under the Westminster Water Works Storage Water Right
decreed in Case No. 87CW335. This water was subsequently put to beneficial use consistent with C.R.S. § 37-92-103(4) during the diligence period. The amounts diverted and stored during the current diligence period, however, did not exceed the amounts previously adjudicated as absolute. As such, Westminster seeks a finding of reasonable diligence in this matter. 5. Claim to make additional water absolute: N/A. 6. Name(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: Standley Lake and the Farmers’ High Line Canal are existing structures. On information and belief, new or modified diversion structures from Van Bibber and Ralston Creek may be located on lands owned by: Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company, 725 Malley Drive, Northglenn, Colorado 80233; Jefferson County, 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden, Colorado 80419; City of Arvada, 8101 Ralston Road, Arvada, Colorado 80002. Additional notice by certified or register mail, as set forth in § 37-92-302(2)(b), C.R.S., will be provided to these entities. The remaining structures involved with the conditional water right are all existing, not new, diversion or storage structures. There was, and is, no need to modify said structures in order to accomplish diversion and beneficial use of the remaining conditional water right. WHEREFORE, Westminster requests the Court to enter its decree and ruling as follows: A. To make a finding of reasonable diligence with respect to the remaining conditional amount decreed in Case No. 87CW335 to the Westminster Water Works Direct Flow Water Right, and providing that a subsequent showing of diligence be made six years from the date of entry of a decree of diligence in this matter. B. To make a finding of reasonable diligence with respect to the remaining conditional amount decreed in Case No. 87CW335 to the Westminster Water Works Storage Water Right, and providing that a subsequent showing of diligence be made six years from the date of entry of a decree of diligence in this matter.

Fiscella, Carlson, Hammond & Paddock, LLC, 1900 Grant Street, Suite 1200, Denver, CO 80203. 2. Name of Structures: (1) Ralston Creek Exchange; and (2) West Gravel Lakes to Manhart Ditch Exchange. 3. Description of conditional water rights: The conditional water rights at issue here are two conditional appropriative rights of exchange confirmed and adjudicated in Case No. 88CW269, Water Division No. 1. A finding of reasonable diligence was entered by the Water Court, Water Division No. 1, on August 25, 1997 in Case No. 96CW172, on May 25, 2007 in Case No. 03CW342 and on July 30, 2014 in Case No. 13CW3044. The subject exchanges are closely related to certain change of use and exchanges decreed in Case No. 88CW268, Water Division No. 1, (the “Cosmic Decree”), and together make up a component of the City of Westminster’s (“Westminster”) integrated water system on Clear Creek. I. Ralston Creek Exchange. A. Date of Original Decree: Case No. 88CW269, Water Court, Division 1, State of Colorado, decreed on July 20, 1990. B. Legal Description: The location of the exchange structures, as set forth in the decree in Case No. 88CW269, are as follows: (1) Jim Baker Reservoir (formerly known as the Happe Ponds): Located in the S1/2 of the NW1/4 of Section 7 and the N1/2 of the SE1/4 of Section 7, Township 3 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. In addition, Westminster provides the following coordinates to further identify the approximate location of the Jim Baker Reservoir outlet works utilizing the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid system projection based on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), Zone 13 North: (496995 E, 4406098 N).

C. Source: Clear Creek and Ralston Creek. Pursuant to the Decree in Case No. 88CW269, and subsequent findings of reasonable diligence in Case No. 96CW172 and Case No. 03CW342, Clear Creek water available for storage in Jim Baker Reservoir (f.k.a. the Happe Ponds) pursuant to the Decree in Case No. 88CW268 that ordinarily would be diverted at the Kershaw Ditch headgate on Clear Creek, will be left in Clear Creek and an equal amount of water will be diverted by exchange at the headgate of the Manhart Ditch on Ralston Creek for storage in Jim Baker Reservoir. This exchange allows the use of gravity to fill Jim Baker Reservoir via the Manhart Ditch, rather than pumping to fill Jim Baker Reservoir via the Kershaw Ditch. D. Appropriation Date: June 10, 1988. E. Amount: 768 acre-feet maximum per year (less transit loss), at a daily average rate of flow of 25 c.f.s., subject to the maximum rate of flow for all alternate points of storage in paragraph 12.5 of the decree in Case No. 88CW268. II. West Gravel Lakes to Manhart Ditch Exchange. A. Date of Original Decree: Case No. 88CW269, Water Division No. 1, decreed on July 20, 1990. B. Legal Description: The location of the exchange structures, as set forth in the decree in Case No. 88CW269, are as follows: (1) The West Gravel Lakes: Located just West of the South Platte River approximately 1/2 mile East of the intersection of East 80th Avenue and North York Street in Sections 25 and 36, Township 2 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado.

In addition, Westminster provides the following coordinates to further identify the relevant location utilizing the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid system projection based on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), Zone 13 North: (499883 E, 4407356 N). C. Source: Water stored for Westminster in the West Gravel Lakes under the exercise of the Standley Lake alternate place of storage right, pursuant to the decree in Case No. 88CW268, will be released to the South Platte River or the Lower Clear Creek Ditch and an equivalent amount of water will be diverted at the Manhart Ditch point of diversion on Ralston Creek for storage in Jim Baker Reservoir (formerly known as the Happe Ponds), said storage and subsequent use to be pursuant to the terms of the decree in Case No. 88CW268. The points of substitution or exchange will be as follows: (1) The South Platte River at the point of discharge from West Gravel Lakes located in the W1/2 of the NW1/4 of Section 30, Township 2 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado; (2) The Lower Clear Creek Ditch, the point of diversion of which is on the North bank of Clear Creek at a point 1400 feet West and 1200 feet North of the Southeast corner of Section 4, Township 3 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado, through either of two methods: (a) Subject to the provisions of the decree of this Court in 81CW448, water in the West Gravel Lakes owned by Westminster may be removed from Westminster’s account and placed in Thornton’s account in place of Clear Creek water which would otherwise be diverted for Thornton’s shares in the Lower Clear Creek Ditch; or (b) Water from West Gravel Lakes may be pumped into the Lower Clear Creek Ditch, at a point located in the N1/2 of Section 25, Township 2 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado, in place of Clear Creek water which would otherwise be diverted for Lower Clear Creek Ditch Company shareholders other than Thornton. D. Appropriation Date: June 10, 1988. E. Amount: 945 acre-feet maximum per year (less transit loss), at a maximum rate of flow of 99.5 c.f.s. (50 c.f.s. to the South Platte River and 49.5 c.f.s. to Lower Clear Creek Ditch). 4. Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application to a beneficial use. A. By decree entered in Case No. 13CW3044 on July 30, 2014, 293.63 acre feet of the Ralston Creek Exchange conditionally decreed in Case No. 88CW269 was deemed absolute. The Court entered findings of reasonable diligence as to the remaining 474.37 acre feet of the Ralston Creek Exchange and 945 acre feet of the West Gravel Lakes Exchange. During the current diligence period Westminster operated the Ralston Creek Exchange and diverted water by exchange at the Manhart Ditch headgate. This diverted water constituted “Cosmic” water under the decree in Case No. 88CW268 (“Cosmic Water”) and was delivered into storage in Jim Baker Reservoir (f.k.a. Happe Ponds) via the Manhart Ditch pursuant to the Ralston Creek Exchange. Although Westminster operated the exchange and diverted and applied water to beneficial use, the volume of water diverted in any one season during the current diligence period did not exceed the amount previously made absolute in Case No. 13CW3044. As a result, Westminster only seeks findings of diligence in this application. B. During prior diligence periods, Westminster constructed Jim Baker Reservoir (f.k.a. Happe Ponds). Construction included completion of dredging of the lake, lining of the reservoir, and construction of appurtenant facilities, including inlet and outlet works, spillway and wetlands. The Reservoir was completed and dedicated in the spring of 1996. The total construction cost during the prior diligence period was approximately $3,500,000. During the current diligence period, Westminster has operated and maintained the Reservoir. Activities include, but are not limited to, monitoring lake levels, operating, maintaining and repairing inlet and outlet works, accounting and record keeping ac-
tivities, wetlands monitoring and general reservoir maintenance activities. Operation and maintenance of the reservoir is an integral component of both conditional exchanges. Operation and maintenance expenses have been incurred during the diligence period, including, but not limited to City staff time, expenses and outside consultant expenses. During the diligence period, Westminster has also paid funds in the form of ditch assessments to both the Manhart Ditch Company and the Kershaw Ditch Company. Said funds have been used, in part, to maintain the ditches necessary for operation of the conditional exchanges. During the diligence period Westminster has also made repairs and improvements to the Manhart Ditch flume and measurement devices. Costs were incurred during the diligence period. C. During prior diligence periods, the City of Thornton completed the construction of the West Gravel Lakes. Westminster is the owner of a storage account at the West Gravel Lakes, that is used, in part, for storage of water pursuant to the decree in Case No. 88CW268. Although during the current diligence period no Cosmic Water stored in the West Gravel Lakes pursuant to the decree in Case No. 88CW268 was exchanged to Jim Baker Reservoir pursuant to the conditional West Gravel Lakes to Manhart Ditch Exchange decreed in Case No. 88CW269, Cosmic Water was stored in Westminster’s West Gravel Lakes storage account and exchanged further up Clear Creek for storage in Standley Lake pursuant to other decreed exchanges or otherwise beneficially used. Westminster has incurred expenses during the diligence period associated with its storage account at the West Gravel Lakes, including but not limited to expenses associated with the operation and maintenance of its storage account and the Lower Clear Creek/Colorado Agricultural ditches as well as pumping costs associated with the operation of the storage account. D. During the diligence period, Westminster has participated in various Division No. 1 Water Court cases in an effort, in part, to protect and maintain exchange potential on Clear Creek and Ralston Creek. Related expenses were incurred during the diligence period. E. During the diligence period, Westminster has continued the development of its Clear Creek Water Supply System. Activities have included, among other things: acquisition of additional interests in water on Clear Creek and its tributaries and the South Platte River; prosecuting Water Court applications to incorporate said interests into the City’s Water Supply System; exercising conditional exchanges and making portions absolute or obtaining diligence decrees on the remaining conditional portions; completing the first phase of delivery of an additional storage vessel; ongoing operation of an aeration system related to Jim Baker Reservoir; and, participation in numerous Water Court cases for purposes of protecting, maintaining and developing Westminster’s Water Supply System. Expenses associated with these activities were incurred during the diligence period. 5. Water applied to beneficial use: N.A. Although Westminster operated the Ralston Creek Exchange during the diligence period, it was not operated in amounts greater than the absolute portions of said exchange. 6. Name(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: N.A. The structures involved in the conditional exchange are all existing, not new, diversion structures. There was, and is, no need to modify said diversion structures in order to accomplish the conditional exchanges. On information and belief, there are no current plans to modify the existing diversion structures at this time. As a result, additional notice requirements by certified or register mail, as set forth in § 37-92-302(2)(b), C.R.S., do not apply in this instance. WHEREFORE, Westminster requests the Court to enter its decree and ruling as follows: A. To enter a finding of reasonable diligence with respect to the entirety of the remaining conditional portion of the Ralston Creek Exchange and providing that a subsequent showing of diligence for the remaining conditional water right be made six years from the date of entry of a decree of diligence. B. To enter a finding of reasonable diligence with respect to the entire 945 acre feet of the West Gravel Lakes to Manhart Ditch Exchange originally decreed conditional in Case No. 88CW269 and providing that a subsequent showing of diligence for the remaining conditional water right be made six years from the date of entry of a decree of diligence. C. To enter a finding confirming that the retained jurisdiction period set forth in Case No. 88CW269 has expired by its own terms.

Change in Place of Use: Denver Water seeks to change the place of use for the Subject Water Rights from lands under the ditch to any location where Denver Water may, now or in the future, legally provide water. The place of use includes Denver Water’s service area as it exists now as shown in Exhibit B or may exist in the future within Denver, Arapahoe, Douglas, Jefferson, Adams, and Broomfield Counties, Colorado, and for lands, replacement of depletions, delivery, and contractual obligations within the foregoing counties and Weld County, Colorado pursuant to existing and future water contracts and other related agreements. g. Amount of Water that Applicant Intends to Divert at Alternate Points of Diversion: Denver Water intends to change its pro-rata interest in the Subject Water Rights of 0.538 cfs of Priority 4 and 0.660 cfs of Priority 19 currently decreed to Nevada Ditch under the December 10, 1883 Adjudication Decree. 4. Return Flow Replacement through Substitution: Denver Water will have return flow replacement obligations resulting from the historical use of the Subject Water Rights that are the subject of this Application. Denver Water will use the sources listed in paragraph 5 below to meet its return flow replacement obligations (“Replacement Sources”). Denver Water may also use water derived from water rights in addition to those set forth in paragraph 5 below pursuant to statutory procedures or that is otherwise legally available provided the water so released is fully consumable. 5. Replacement Water: Denver Water owns water rights originally decreed in the South Platte River basin for direct flow irrigation uses and has changed the consumptive use portions of these rights, by decree, to all municipal uses.

In addition, Denver Water owns water rights in notnontributary Arapahoe and Upper Arapahoe Aquifer formations and water rights in the nontributary Arapahoe and Upper Arapahoe, LaramieFox Hills, and the Lower Arapahoe Aquifer formations. Water from these sources will be made available in the amounts and at locations necessary to replace return flows from diversions under the changed Subject Water Rights. Water from these sources that is also once or successively used through Denver Water’s potable water system and returned to the South Platte River and its tributaries will be made available in the amount and at locations, including, but not limited to, outfalls of the various wastewater treatment plants that discharge effluent attributable to Denver Water’s service area, necessary to replace return flows from the changed portion of the Subject Water Rights decreed under the December 10, 1883 Adjudication Decree.

varsity meets, CHSAA says. Chamberlin plans to enforce mask rules among his athletes and will hold practices in “cohort” groups to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. Athletes will also have their temperatures taken during each practice. Jeffco Public Schools cross-country coaches are planning to run meets with each other in order to give athletes additional opportunities to compete, Chamberlin said. Under Jefferson County’s variance to the statewide Safer-atHome and in the Vast, Great Outdoors public health order, outdoor gatherings are limited to 125 people. Because of that, Chamberlin said meets may have to be restricted to coaches and athletes. “Parents may have to drop off their kids and leave, but kids get an opportunity to run and have a season. It just keeps going and going, but it’s going to be challenging,” said Chamberlin. “What I can tell you is that all
of the Jeffco coaches want to provide the best experience and opportunity for the kids that we can.” Chamberlin said in his decades of coaching high school cross-country, he’s never experienced the challenges the pandemic has brought to high school athletics. He said the only time there has been a district wide event that caused confusion for athletics was the Columbine High School shooting. The shooting occurred during track season and forced track meets to be rescheduled, according to Chamberlin. “That’s the only time we’ve had an entire district wide, and now in this case, statewide event that caused so much confusion. There are plenty of people who do not want to have a season at all,” said Chamberlin. “Society in general says let’s do it, take the risk. Others say why? People are dying.” “I’m in the high-risk range. I certainly don’t want to get sick, but I love coaching, I love kids, and I love to give them an opportunity,” Chamberlin added. “It’s challenging and I can see every side, all sides, all the time. Nothing has ever been like this in my 25 years.”

The headgates of the Warrior Ditch are the same as those of the Harriman Ditch. The Warrior Ditch was originally decreed for irrigation purposes. iii. Soda Lakes Reservoir Nos. 1 and 2: 8.71 shares of the 400 shares of capital stock (2.18%), issued and outstanding in the Soda Lakes Reservoir and Mineral Water Company. The Soda Lakes Reservoir and Mineral Water Company owns the following storage water rights decreed in Civil Action No. 91471 on September 24, 1935, to the Soda Lake Reservoir Nos. 1 and 2: 1,794 acre-feet for irrigation purposes, and 598 acre-feet for storage for supplying the City of Denver with water for municipal purposes, including the watering of lawns and gardens. Date of appropriation: February 11, 1893, and a refill right decreed in Case No. 00CW228, District Court, Water Division 1. The Soda Lakes Reservoirs are located in Section 1, Township 5 South, Range 70 West, 6th P.M., Jefferson County. The reservoirs are filled through the Harriman Ditch. iv. Meadowview Reservoir: The structure is located in the NE1/4 SW1/4 and the NW1/4 SE1/4 of Section 26, Township 5 South, Range 71 West of the 6th P.M., Jefferson County, Colorado. Meadowview Reservoir was awarded absolute water rights in Case No. 09CW92 (01CW294), in the amount of 20 acre-feet, and in Case No. 16CW3022 (94CW290), in an amount of 30 acre-feet, for augmentation, replacement, exchange and substitution purposes. The source is North Turkey Creek and water tributary to North Turkey Creek. Harriman Ditch and Warrior Ditch direct flow water and water available to MMRC in the Soda Lakes Reservoirs are also stored in Meadowview Reservoir by exchange pursuant to the appropriative rights of substitution and exchange decreed in Case Nos. 94CW290, 00CW060, and 01CW293. v. Firm Yield of Consumptive Use Water: The firm yield of the portfolio of water rights and storage facilities owned by MMRC has been decreed by the water court in Case Nos. 94CW290 and 01CW293 to be 62.8 acre-feet per year. Of this amount, 23.8 acre-feet of consumptive use water is available for augmentation plans in the Turkey Creek drainage basin and 39 acre-feet of consumptive use water is available for augmentation plans in the Bear Creek drainage basin. The total firm yield is represented by 2,000 shares of stock in MMRC. See Exhibit B. The terms and conditions under which the Bear Creek/Turkey Creek water rights are used for augmentation and replacement purposes are set forth in Case Nos. 94CW290 and 01CW293, and are deemed to be res judicata in future proceedings involving such rights, pursuant to Williams v. Midway Ranches, 938 P.2d 515 (Colo. 1997). Additionally, the consumptive use cannot be reconsidered or requantified pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-305(3)(e). 6. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: Each of the Subject Wells is intended to serve in-house domestic uses for one single family residence (two total). In addition, the Subject Wells may be used for various outdoor uses, including irrigation of lawn, irrigation of garden, watering of horses or large animals, and/or filling and maintenance of a swimming pool, hot tub, or water features (collectively the “Outdoor Uses”). The consumption rates for each use is described below; the total consumption of the in-house uses and Outdoor Uses will not exceed the total amount of replacement water available using the Primary Shares and, if included, the Purchased Shares, or any shares added to the augmentation plan at a later date. a. The water requirements for in-house domestic use will have 10% consumption based on subsurface discharge from individual septic tank-soil absorption systems. Each septic system will be located in the same sub-drainage as the well that supplies it. Total replacement requirement for in-house domestic shall be .0314 acre-feet per house per year. Turf irrigation assumes 80% efficient application resulting in 1.0 acre-foot per acre depletion annually. Garden irrigation assumes consumption of 0.4 acre-feet per acre annually. Watering of large animals assumes consumption of 10 gallons per animal per day. Swimming pool consumption assumes 0.0383 acre-feet per 1,000 sq. feet annually. Hot tub consumption assumes 4.46 gal.day (0.005 acre-feet annually). Water feature consumption assumes 0.101 acre-feet per year. b. The combined replacement requirements for the inhouse and Outdoor Uses by the two wells pursuant to this augmentation plan will not exceed 0.077 acre-feet annually from the Primary Shares plus 0.188 acre-feet annually from the Purchased Shares, if included in the final decree, for a total combined replacement not to exceed 0.265 acre-feet per year. This equates to a maximum stream depletion of 0.28 of a gallon per minute. c. Due to the small volume of annual stream depletions projected to occur under this plan, instantaneous stream depletions may be aggregated and replaced by one or more releases of short duration. 7. Substitution and Exchange Reach: Since the points of depletion associated with the Subject Wells are upstream of the augmentation supplies, Applicants assert a water exchange plan including a right of substitution and exchange pursuant to C.R.S. Sections 37-80-120 and 37-92-302(1)(a). The reach of the substitution and exchange shall extend from the confluence of Bear Creek and Turkey Creek in the NE1/4 NW1/4, Section 5, Township 5 South, Range 69 West up Bear Creek to the confluence of Mount Vernon Creek in SW1/4 SE1/4, Section 35, Township 4 South, Range 70 West, thence up Mount Vernon Creek to the confluence of an unnamed creek in the SE1/4 SE1/4, Section 17, Township 4 South, Range 70 West, thence up the unnamed stream to the point of depletion in the NW1/4, Section 20, Township 4 South, Range 70 West, all in the 6th P.M. If the JMDM Well No. 1 is constructed in sub-basin (ii) described in paragraph 3, above, the substitution and exchange reach for that well shall extend from the confluence of Bear Creek and Turkey Creek in the NE1/4 NW1/4, Section 5, Township 5 South, Range 69 West up Bear Creek to the confluence of Mount Vernon Creek in SW1/4 SE1/4, Section 35, Township 4 South, Range 70 West, thence up Mount Vernon Creek to the confluence with Shingle Creek in the NW1/4 SE1/4, Section 17, Township 4 South, Range 70 West, thence up Shingle Creek to the confluence with an unnamed creek in the NW1/4 NE1/4, Section 20, Township 4 South Range 70 West, thence up the unnamed creek to the point of depletion in the NW1/4, Section 20, Township 4 South, Range 70 West of the 6th P.M. If the JMDM Well No. 1 is constructed in sub-basin (iii) described in paragraph 3, above, the substitution and exchange reach for that well shall extend from the confluence of Bear Creek and Turkey Creek in the NE1/4 NW1/4, Section 5, Township 5 South, Range 69 West up Bear Creek to the confluence with Sawmill Gulch in the NE1/4 NE1/4 Section 32, Township 4 South Range 70 West of the 6th P.M, thence up Sawmill Gulch to the point of depletion in the SE1/4, Section 20, Township 4 South, Range 70 West of the 6th P.M. In the event that there is an intervening senior water right that precludes operation of the substitution and exchange, the Medveds can either have replacement water delivered by truck to the point of depletions or have an on-site container or containers from which replacement water may be released. The water exchange plan will operate to replace depletions to the flow of water in the stream system as the depletions occur. The water exchange plan will be operated and administered with a priority date of July 31, 2020, at a maximum flow rate of 0.001 of a cubic foot per second. 8.

WHEREFORE, the Applicants request the entry of a decree approving this Application, specifically (1) granting the appropriations sought in this Application, (2) authorizing use of the augmentation supplies described in this Application, (3) determining that the source and location of delivery of augmentation water are sufficient to prevent material injury to vested water rights.
