The G painted on South Table Mountain with graffiti visible around it as seen on Jan. 15.

“It was really great to hear how people really cherish the symbol and find it nostalgic and something they really take pride in,” he said.

He also began rethinking his desire to remove the G. “Maybe as an outsider first seeing it nine years ago it looks like vandalism and something that has fallen into disrepair and I think that’s because of all the vandalism to the face surrounding the G itself,” said Ingalls. “If we were able to maintain and get all of the rest of the surrounding, obscuring graffiti off, I think it is something that we could be super proud of and that could be more representative of the town and the city itself.”

So, Ingalls has reoriented his effort toward that goal and updated the GoFundMe fundraising page he originally posted on the friends and neighbors page with updated text

Interim Superintendent Kristopher Schuh has made the decision to return middle and high school students to the classroom in a Hybrid model beginning Jan. 25, 2021.

According to a press release from Jeffco Schools, Schuh’s decision was made in consultation with the Jefferson County Board of Education, public health, district leadership and school leadership. In a recent School Board meeting, parents who spoke out in the pubic comments section of the meeting were overwhelmingly in favor of starting the return to in-person school, ahead of the previous, tentative plan to consider in-person learning for grades 6-12 on Feb. 1.

The District said several factors influenced the decision to bring middle and high school students back earlier including current county-level COVID-19 case data, a strong desire of both students and families to return to in-person learning, a larger pool of guest teachers (substitutes) which can improve schools’ ability to sustain operations while responding to virus spread and quarantines and the improved availability of COVID-19 testing.

Elementary schools returned to 5-days per week in-person learning on Jan.19, as previously scheduled.

A new day for Golden’s old G

Goldenite now seeks funds to spruce up faded symbol

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s not easy to find record of the history of the painted G on South Table Mountain —although at least some Golden old timers say it was put there in 1962 by then-Golden High School student Roger Dunn.

What is certain, however, is that in the decades since, the crudely painted emblem has come to loom large not only over the city but in the hearts and minds of residents to whom it can be both iconic and controversial. To some it’s a charming leftover from the past, to others a debasement of a beautiful rock face and still others a beloved — if perhaps flawed— symbol of the city.

Since moving to Golden a few

years ago, Greg Ingalls has fallen into the middle camp. But he quickly found out the hard way about how deep passions and views on the G run when he posted on the popular Golden Friends and Neighbors community Facebook page about his desire to raise money to remove the G and surrounding graffiti and restore the rock face to its natural state.

The page was quickly flooded with dozens of impassioned comments — some in support but many decrying Ingalls desire to take away something so important to them.

“Being someone who was born (and) raised in Golden, in the house my dad grew up in which backs up to G … it’s perfect,” wrote one such commenter, Abby Young. “The history behind it means more than making it look pretty. Find a new hobby.”

Ingalls said that while he hadn’t necessarily expected the strong reactions, he appreciated them.

Jeffco Girl Scout troops ready to adapt cookie sales to pandemic year Grocery store sales might not happen, but residents will still be able to get their cookies

HOW TO GET COOKIES Girl Scout cookies sales start Jan. 31.

Here are some of the ways they will be sold: Troops will be hosting drive-thru cookie booths. You can text COOKIES to 59618 to find booths in your area.

Some troops will be placing fliers on doors with information about how to order.

Some girl scouts will be creating their own websites to sell cookies. If you do not know a girl scout, visit /www. girlscoutsofcolorado.org/ starting Feb. 1 to purchase cookies from a local troop.

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Each year, Girl Scout troops place an initial order for cookie boxes to have on hand to start their annual selling frenzy. This time around, Golden’s troops took the unusual step of placing initial orders that only amount to 45% of last year’s total.

“There are fewer girls participating so you would expect it to be a little lower, but not quite that much lower,” said Marie Williams, who has daughters in Girl Scouts and serves as the service unit manager for Golden’s girl scout troops. “I think we’re nervous and they are being careful about not ordering too much.”

That nervousness is perhaps the most sensible reaction to trying to sell cookies amid the pandemic that has left troops still unsure of what grocery stores they will be able to set up their anticipated tables at — or whether they will even be able to at all.

Williams said on Jan. 14 that no decision had been made yet on whether those traditional sales will happen at stores in the Golden area

as the state girl scout organization wants to wait until as close to the start of sales on Jan. 31 as possible to make that determination.

“Nobody’s told us no yet,” she said. “But we don’t know for sure what is going to happen.”

What is already known is that local buyers will have several new options for how to purchase favorites like Samoas and Thin Mints as Girl Scouts of the United States

of America has introduced several news ways to purchase and deliver cookies, including drive-thru cookie booths and contactless porch cookie drop-offs, in an effort to adapt the cookie sales to COVID-19 conditions.

The latter is one of several adaptions that will allow door-to-door sales to proceed in a modified fashion. Instead of ringing doorbells, scouts will go door-to-door leaving door hangers or other flyers with info about how those wanting to buy cookies can contact them to do so.

The scouts will then drop off the cookies on a later date.

For devoted sellers like Arvada’s Emilyann Owens, who has been selling cookies for 13 years and sold 3,000 boxes last year, the changes are as unwelcome as they are big.

“My whole thing is `for every three nos you are going to get one yes,” said Owens. “But that only comes from a lot of people seeing you and interacting with a lot of people.”

Logistics

The return to in-person learning brings with it an updated Food Service calendar.

For grades PK-5, in-person meal service will begin Jan. 19. Remote learners will be able to pick up meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Families can access meals for remote learners from their assigned home school and should contact their school for the pick-up schedule.

Families of students in grades 6-12 can access remote meals at Alameda, Arvada, Arvada West, Bear Creek, Columbine, Green Mountain, Jefferson, Pomona and Ralston Valley High Schools, and at Summit Ridge, Wayne Carle and Creighton Middle Schools prior to in-person learning starting for the semester.

Once in-person learning resumes for grades 6-12, students can access remote meals from their assigned home school. The District recom-

Any loss of revenue could also have significant consequences for the scouts themselves given how important proceeds from cookie sales, which are split between individual troops and the state girl scout council, are to funding activities for scouts.

In Williams’ case, the two troops she oversees typically use their cookie proceeds to help pay for rock climbing and an overnight camp and an overnight camp at Snow Mountain Ranch near Granby, all activities that her scouts would like to resume when it is safe to do so.

She also said other troops in lower income communities depend on cookie sales to pay for more basic items like badges and uniforms.

While this year’s cookie campaign will be unlike any other history, Williams said she feels her scouts are ready to embrace the challenge, even if new safety precautions might mean new inconveniences.

“If we are able to have groups outside Kings Soopers, hopefully people are patient and understand it might take a little longer,” she said.

Leanna Clark, the CEO of Girl Scouts of Colorado, also sees reason for optimism.

“We’ve all been through a lot this past year and are longing for something that feels like normal,” said Leanna Clark, CEO of Girl Scouts of Colorado. “What’s more reliable and comforting than Girl Scout Cookies?” mends contacting your home school directly to inquire about their schedule.

Meals will be available to in-person/hybrid learners for days they are not attending school in person.

Families with younger children, not yet registered in school, can receive meals at their closest Jeffco school site.

Staffing help

The District is also putting out a call to join #TeamJeffco. Opportunities to help at a school by working as a Guest Teacher, Bus Driver/Bus Assistant, Custodian or Food Service worker are still available.

The District sees these paid opportunities as another way community members can help keep in-person learning running during the continued challenges presented

by COVID-19. Guest Teacher jobs do not require a bachelor’s degree for the 2020-2021 school year and pay a rate of $150 per full-day. Information about #TeamJeffco opportunities can be found at www.jeffcopublicschools. org/employment/jobs

about his goal of “correcting the G to something we are proud of.”

For Ingalls, that would probably involve “removing the surrounding graffiti and then probably repainting the G and “maybe kind of defining the corners a little bit not that’s unrecognizable to those who love it but just to make it look like something that was done by a professional and not necessarily by teenagers.”

For now, Ingalls is planning to try to continue to try to generate conversation and build support for his cause by bringing it up at an upcoming city council meeting. He is also planning to continue with the fundraiser — although he says he will now need to raise much less than the site’s original $11,000 goal.

That’s because he recently reached out to Keeping Colorado Beautiful, an organization dedicated to removing graffiti from natural areas, and learned they would be willing to do the project at a much-reduced cost.

Of course, any effort to (legally) alter the rock face would also require a greenlight from Jefferson County Open Space, which owns and manages South Table Mountain. Ingalls said he has reached out to JCOS about his project.

Matt Robbins, the community connections manager for JCOS, confirmed that his organization had heard from Ingalls about the project and is in the process of trying to learn more.

“I’m comfortable saying that this is an interesting endeavor,” Robbins said. “We’re just in the first couple of days. and I think we’re trying to better understand what his goal is. That’s kind of where we’re at.”

Robbins said the situation is an all-around unusual one as the G, which it inherited with South Table Mountain, is the only instance of JCOS allowing graffiti to remain in its parks and a citizen has never inquired about taking a formal approach to removing graffiti in a JCOS space.

Because of the unusual nature of the situation, Robbins said there is no clear process for how JCOS will evaluate the proposal and proceed. However, any change to the status quo would involve community input and some kind of formal agreement, he said.

JCOS would also have to approve whoever was actually hired to do any work.

Ingalls also recently reached out to Golden High School about his effort and whether they have any position on repainting the G given its ties to the school. Golden High School students are believed to have been involved in upkeep-

ing the G in the past in addition to creating it in the first place.

The school’s principal, Brian Conroy, expressed support for the project to Ingalls, in a response that was confirmed by Colorado Community Media.

“I am not sure who actually did the updating of the G, but I would 100% support the repainting of it and could supply some, not much, but some funding and if need be maybe some volunteers to help make it happen,” Conroy wrote.

While Ingalls wants to start a conversation and is hopeful his efforts will lead to a restoration of the G, he said he wants any decision about what to ultimately do to result from a community dialogue and process.

“If the community votes, I believe in the democratic process,” he said. “And if people say to completely remove it or to leave it alone, I would be on board for either one of those.”

The Pros and Cons of Buying in a Community With a Homeowners Association

Like every real estate agent, I have encountered buyers who don’t want to buy in a neighborhood with an HOA. I have set up more than one MLS alert for buyers with “No HOA” as one of their search criteria.

There are many good reasons to avoid an HOA, just as there are reasons to want an HOA. Among the negatives, an HOA costs money, although those dues do cover some expenses you would otherwise have to pay for on your own, such as trash and recycling collection. In a patio home community, dues could cover grounds maintenance, snow removal up to your front door and garage, a community pool, fitness center, and even water and sewer, plus insurance on your structure.

Unless the community is self-managed, your dues also pay for the costs and profit of a professional management company.

The more common negatives we hear are with regards to personal liberty. You can’t make changes to your home exterior, including paint color or a new deck, without approval by the “architectural review committee.” You probably can’t park your RV on the street or on your lot except for short-term loading and unloading. And there’s always that one neighbor who is a self-appointed enforcer of the covenants and rules. I was turned in once because my lawn mowing person was passing through the adjoining common space to reach my backyard! (I escaped prosecution, and the matter was dropped.)

According to the Community Associations Institute (CAI), the number of HOAs in the United States has increased from just 10,000 in 1970 to more than 320,000 today. If you buy a home in a subdivision developed in the last 20 or 30 years, you most likely will be buying in a neighborhood with an HOA. So, what are the arguments in favor of an HOA?

A common refrain in support of HOAs is that they protect property values for their members. Without an HOA to enforce its rules, a neighbor could paint his home dayglo yellow or litter his yard, visible to you, with old furniture and cars on blocks.

He could allow the paint to peel and not replace his obviously hail damaged roof and let the exterior of his home go into disrepair.

These are just a few examples of how one homeowner can affect a neighborhood’s property values.

Imagine putting your beautifully updated home on the market if the above description applied to your neighbor’s house. People in non-HOA communities can tell “bad neighbor” stories to rival any HOA horror story.

Back in the 1970s it was common for subdivisions to be built with covenants that applied to every home in that subdivision, but no HOA was created to enforce those covenants. If a neighbor violated a covenant, one’s only recourse was to sue that neighbor in civil court — an unlikely scenario. Some non-HOA neighborhoods have created neighborhood associations with voluntary dues (for example, $30 per year), which cover the cost of community picnics, newsletters, etc. I listed a home in one such non-HOA association, Columbine Knolls South in south Jeffco, which is quite aggressive in enforcing a covenant that restricts the type of roof a homeowner can install.

Starting around the 1990s, subdivision developers created HOAs which they controlled until a certain percentage of homes were sold, at which point they would turn over control to a board elected by the residents. Unless it was a really small subdivision, this board would then hire a management company to handle the hiring vendors (such as trash haulers or grounds keepers) and enforcing cove-

Price Reduced on Secluded Western Slope Paradise Have you yearned for the wide open spaces? This home $378,000 at 20045 High Park Road in Cedaredge, a small town (2,253 population, elevation 6,230) 30 miles south of Powderhorn ski area, might be just the ticket. It’s on 5.87 acres, nestled against the Grand Mesa, minutes from downtown Cedaredge. This property with its fenced 3+ acre irrigated horse pasture, 2 ponds and the sound of Williams Creek outside your bedroom window, is one of a kind! The home is situated perfectly to allow the southern sun to provide passive solar heat through the large window in winter, not to mention spectacular views of the San Juan Mountains.

Cool summer evenings can be spent out by the creek watching the wildlife play in your backyard. Find more pix and take a video tour of this home at CedaredgeHome.info, then call your agent or Kim Taylor at 303-304-6678 for a private showing.

nants, as well as rules and regulations promulgated by the board of directors at their monthly meetings or by the homeowners at their annual meeting.

Done right, HOAs can be an efficient means of providing services, assigning payment responsibility and being responsive to members’ concerns. Such factors have driven the continued growth of association-governed communities, including HOAs, condominium associations, and other “common interest communities.”

HOAs can fund a diverse variety of services and amenities, from golf courses to equestrian facilities and fitness centers.

Few Americans could afford such benefits without the shared responsibility made possible by HOAs. According to CAI, “People who don’t want to contend with gutters and yard work can purchase homes in communities where these responsibilities are taken on by the associations. There are age-restricted communities, pet-free and pet-friendly communities, even communities with air strips.

Community associations give people options, alternatives, facilities and resources they could not otherwise enjoy.”

CAI states that more than 62 million Americans live in neighborhoods with an HOA and “take advantage of associationsponsored activities like holiday events, social clubs, athletic and fitness activities, pool parties and more. These activities help residents get to know their neighbors and forge new, supportive friendships.”

Because it’s not a popular assignment (and is unpaid), you can probably get elected to your HOA board and have a say in its governance. I did that myself but resigned after a couple years. You may be more suited to that experience.

I totally respect those who want to avoid HOAs for one reason or another.

Rita and I have experienced both ways of life and, while we don’t value one over the other, we appreciate why others may have a strong feeling for or against living in an HOA-governed neighborhood.

If you are not outright opposed to an HOA but do have concerns, just know that when you go under contract, the seller must provide financial and other documents as well as bylaws and minutes of recent HOA meetings, and you can terminate if you don’t like what you read.

Consider Installing a Heat Pump Water Heater

If you’re attuned to the issue of sustainability, you may already know that heat pump water heaters are a smart replacement for gas water heaters and a great way to reduce your “carbon footprint.”

Combine it with replacing your gas furnace with a heat pump mini-split system and your gas range with an electric induction cooktop, and you could disconnect your gas meter and go all-electric. Then trade in your gas-powered car for an electric car and put enough solar panels on your home to power it all,

and you’re on your way to eliminating the use of fossil fuels altogether — provided you’re willing to live without your gas fireplace and gas grill!

Heat pumps don’t create heat, they move heat, which is why they are more efficient than gas or resistance heating. Toast-

ers and electric space heater are examples of resistance heating. Rather than heating water directly, a heat pump water heater moves heat out of the room into the water tank.

For synergy, put it in the same room as a freezer, which is doing the opposite — moving heat into the room. Or build a wine cellar around your water heater for free cooling of your wine!

I purchased my Rheem unit for under $1,300 and earned a $400 rebate from Xcel Energy plus a $300 federal tax credit.

New life for former Olinger Woods Chapel on Washington Avenue Denver developer eyes restaurant, upstairs apartments

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For over 100 years, the corner of Washington Avenue and 11th Street was an important hub for some of Golden’s most important cultural events — funerals. But starting in 2017, the corner went quiet as the funeral business closed. Last summer, the corner became a construction site.

Now, the historic property’s owners say its next chapter is coming into focus — and it is one they say will make it an active hub once again, with a little bit of the building’s old charm.

Denver developer Urban Frontier, LLC closed on the building at 1100 Washington Avenue in December 2018. Dignity Memorial, the owner of the Olinger Woods Chapel that had operated in the space since 1915, had announced it would be selling the building after closing the chapel in 2017.

The building consists of what was originally two separate storefronts that were combined into one.

Garrett Baum, a managing partner at Urban Frontier, said the building’s interior has been gutted and work is underway to restore the front of the building to how

removed from the building and would need to be restored. “It’s already been designed and planned with the goal to make it look as much as what it looked like in the 1800s,� he said. “With new codes and efficiencies, you get it as close as you can but it’s going to be pretty darn close.�

As for the eventual use of the building, Urban Frontier is finalizing a lease with a restaurateur who will bring “a couple of restaurant concepts� to the space’s first floor. “It’s close to being signed but it’s not been signed, but it’s going to be fantastic,� he said. “Hopefully we will be able to announce that in the next 30 to 45 days.�

Baum said the current plan calls for outdoor patio seating both on Washington Avenue and 11th Street and that he would “hope to see occupancy sometime this summer� if the deal goes through. He also said he expects that construction plans for the restaurant will be submitted in the next 30 days.

The second floor will consist of three or four small three-bedroom units as it has for most of the building’s history. “I would suspect those will be

rented by students,� Baum said. “That’s sort of who they are designed for.�

Urban Frontiers will handle the rental of those units and Baum said the firm, which owns other historic buildings in LoDo in Denver and Boulder and has been using income from land sales to invest in historic buildings, plans to hold onto the property long-term. “I sort of look at it as generational real estate where we own it and rent it,� he said. “We aren’t merchant builders.�

Steve Glueck, the community and economic development director for the city of Golden, said the project will provide “ a welcome sense of vitality to the northern end of downtown.â€? “Both the Historic Preservation Board and the Downtown Development Authority reviewed the plans, and support the restoration and addition of retail and/or restaurant street level uses to Washington Avenue,â€? Glueck said. “The restoration of the brick façade and re-creation of the old storefront along Washington Avenue will preserve one of our important downtown buildings and provide enjoyment to the community.â€?

City purchasing camera surveillance system for Clear Creek New cameras to be placed at 10 locations

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Goldenites might want to smile on their next bike ride or walk along Clear Creek. Why? They may be on camera.

The Golden City Council voted unanimously to approve the purchase of a security camera system that will allow the fire and police departments — and other city staff — to keep tabs on activity along the creek.

According to a memo to the city council from Golden’s chief innovation and technology office Jiles McCoy, the city will pay $213,172 over the next two years to purchase and implement the system. Ongoing support and maintenance costs will then be included in future budgets.

McCoy’s memo states that the cameras will allow responders to quickly understand and react to events happening along Clear Creek, which he calls “a vital city function.”

“In the short term this solution will allow fire and (police) to react

more quickly and precisely to support requests along the creek,” McCoy wrote. “Public Works and Parks and Rec will be able to immediately survey the corridor to understand weather and infrastructure situations in real time without sending staff to walk the corridor.”

But McCoy’s memo also promises other benefits, such as the ability for Golden’s communications department “to share beautiful video of Golden with the public so that they can see what they are missing in our amazing city.”

It also states that city staff will be able to integrate metrics solutions with the camera system to increase the city’s understanding of how the public uses Clear Creek.

According to the memo, Colorado company Fire Team Security will install a total of 17 new cameras at 10 locations along the creek and in its surrounding area. The camera locations will extend from the Ford Street bridge west to the fenced off Church Creek Water Authority Diversion facility, which is located west of Sixth Avenue. Cameras will also be installed at the Golden Community Center to monitor the area around the facility’s entrance.

The memo also mentions that Fire Team Security will connect 50 exist-

ing digital watchdog cameras into its system. However, the memo does not explain where in Golden those cameras are located or how long they have been in place. The Golden Transcript reached out to McCoy for more information about that but did not receive a response.

According to the memo, FTS will paint all equipment and hardware whenever possible to blend into surrounding environment with exception to communication devices, such as wireless network antennas.

McCoy wrote in the memo that management of the Clear Creek Corridor “proved especially difficult over the course of 2020.” Although

the memo does not expound on the reasons for the challenges, this is presumably a reference to the spring, when officials in both Golden and Jefferson County decided to close the water of the creek to recreation as a result of concerns about the COVID-19 risk posed to first responders who could be called upon to participate in water rescues.

The Golden City Council voted to ban water activities again in August after Golden Police had 900 contacts with people recreating in and around the creek about social distancing violations. Those bans were later lifted following the end of tubing season.

New era in Jeffco underway following officials’ swearing-in New DA, commissioners take office

NEW COUNTY ELECTED OFFICIALS District Attorney Alexis King 303-271-6800 District 1 Commissioner Tracy KraftTharp tktharp@jeffco.us

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A new era officially has officially dawned in Jefferson County with the swearing-in of the new Democratic district attorney and county commissioners, whose arrival has cemented the county’s leftward lurch.

However, the ceremony itself took a different form than is customary as Chief Judge Jeffrey Pilkington administered the oath of office to the county’s new elected officials via a videoconferencing platform on Jan.12. Surveyor Robert Hennessy, a Republican, was also sworn in for another term.

In comments she made to open the ceremony, Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper remarked on the privilege of serving that awaits the new officials and called the swearing-in ceremony “a great day.” Dahlkemper, a Democrat, will be the only commissioner who is not new to the board of county commissioners.

“This is an occasion where we see representative government in action as we swear in the elected officials who have been chosen by the voters of Jefferson County,” said Dahlkemper. “Countywide elections matter. They directly impact what happens here at home.”

District 2 Commissioner Andy Kerr akerr@jeffco.us

New Jefferson County Commissioner Andy Kerr is sworn in on Jan. 11.

Following her swearing-in, new District Attorney Alexis King talked about the “heavy badge” that she carried during her time as a deputy DA and how it reminded her of the “weight that we carry as we serve the people of Jeffco for the next four years.”

She also echoed her commitment to carry out many of the reforms she promised during her campaign.

“We will provide alternatives to prosecution and alternatives to incarceration,” King said. “We will also seek to earn trust through our conviction integrity unit that will reconsider wrongful convictions, work towards equity and collect data that we owe to the public that we serve.”

We do estate planning, estate administration, and probate.

We do it extensively and we do it well. Our team has served the Denver Metro area for more than 30 years.

SCREENSHOTS

New commissioner Tracy KraftTharp, who will represent District 1 which is located in the northern portion of Jeffco and includes Arvada and the Jeffco portion of Westminster, talked about her parents and their drive to raise a strong leader woman who taught her the importance of working hard and making the world a better place.

“I’m so honored to be part of the team that will help move Jefferson County during these unprecedented times that are drawing on everything we have,” said Kraft-Tharp.

Andy Kerr will be the new commissioner representing District 2, which encompasses Golden, Wheat Ridge and northern Lakewood. He said that while the immediate fo-

Incumbent Jefferson County Assessor Robert Hennessy is sworn in for another term.

cus must remain on the COVID-19 pandemic, the county must be ready to address and lead on other looming issues, particularly the climate crisis after what he called a “wasted four years.”

“Our forests and neighborhoods are in peril and Jeffco needs to be a leader in finding solutions for sustainable living,” said Kerr.

Following his swearing-in, Hennessy said he “really didn’t have much of anything to say.”

“Not my first rodeo,” he added.

VOICES

Animal adoption agencies seeing a doggone frenzy QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

B

ecause of the pandemic, which of the following is way up nationwide?

Average per-person daily intake of calories from sugar?

Trips to the liquor store?

Pet adoption?

I don’t have the facts in front of me about calories and alcohol, just the assumption that both are true.

There are facts, however, that show pet adoption in the past year was not only way up but highly competitive.

Adoption agencies all over the country are experiencing something unique: They’re running out of pets; some have seen double the requests for dogs since the pandemic came along.

This is good news, but it comes with some bad news and an advisory (from me).

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thanks for the love letter

Thank you Andrea Doray, for your expression of love for our United States of America. This tribute brought tears to my eyes. Unfortunately, these tears are very close to the surface these days.

I especially appreciate your closing of trust, care, connection, and appreciation. America is not the government, not the media, nor is it the rhetoric from all sides. America is her people.

I pray we can once again be a united people who love our country.

Jennifer Enochs, Arvada Remember Wisconsin?

How many remember that a raucous mob was allowed to occupy and trash the Wisconsin State Capitol for several weeks in 2011 (vs hours in DC)?

How is it that previous disruptive protests, at home and abroad, (and even a bombing in a certain DC building) are so soon forgotten?

Should not justice demand quick determination as to the affiliations or motives of those who were arrested in DC re weapons charges, assaults on police, or the origin of the reported bomb?

And yet, how are the many seeking redress from their tone-deaf so-called public servants, and those photographed wandering through the doors of the US Capitol building, held to a different/draconian standard?

How much more government control over our rights to freely speak, assemble, travel, and protest, will ensue from events of the past week and year?

Are not the rapidly filling ‘no fly lists’ without due-process, for those deemed guilty of thought-crimes (or songs), the tip-of-the-iceberg?

According to the Better Business Bureau, “The number of complaints about fraudulent and nonexistent breeders has never been higher.”

At times, humans are an industriously evil lot.

If there’s a market value in deception, mankind will find it.

Dogs, cats, birds, fish, and even ferrets are “going like hotcakes,” said one operator of an animal shelter in Maryland.

Why? I don’t have room to go through all of the reasons why Harry enhances my life and makes it worth waking up every morning and chewing (as Emo Phillips said) through the leather straps.

Today, 35.7 million Americans live alone.

When quarantined, that’s a lot of solitary souls trying to make the best of it — psy-

chologically.

I can’t think of anything better than spending the day with Harry. I’d take him over Audrey Hepburn. And that would have been true before “social distancing.”

On Jan. 6, like everyone else, I watched the horrific events unfold in Washington, D.C., glued to the screen and mesmerized, revolted, saddened and disgusted.

Harry?

Harry came to me with a leash in his mouth.

Three of my friends adopted cats last year, and they weren’t random acts: Each had owned cats in the past.

The advisory I mentioned is just this: Pets, especially dogs, require time, money, and commitment — and respect.

SEE SMITH, P9

Borrowing some inaugural inspiration

n compliance with a custom as old as the government itself, I appear before you to address you briefly and to take in your presence the oath HITTING prescribed by the Constitution of HOME the United States to be taken by the President before he enters on the execution of this office.

Standing in this same place, 45 other men have addressed you; in many cases, the Michael Alcorn concerns of the day were external crises — matters of economic desperation or matters of war and peace.

Our crisis today is the reverse.

We have found ourselves rich in goods, but ragged in spirit; reaching with magnificent precision for the stars, but falling into raucous discord on earth.

We are torn by division, wanting unity. We see around us empty lives, wanting fulfillment. We see tasks that need doing, waiting for hands to do them.

And, in a perverse joke of fate, nature has piled upon us a virus, which has stolen from us hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens, and heaped economic desperation onto our spiritual disease.

To a crisis of the spirit, we need an answer of the spirit.

To find that answer, we need only look within ourselves.

When we listen to “the better angels of our nature,” we find that

they celebrate the simple things, the basic things — such as goodness, decency, love, kindness.

The simple things are the ones most needed today if we are to surmount what divides us, and cement what unites us.

To lower our voices would be a simple thing.

In these difficult years, America has suffered from a fever of words; from inflated rhetoric that promises more than it can deliver; from angry rhetoric that fans discontents into hatreds; from bombastic rhetoric that postures instead of persuading.

We cannot learn from one another until we stop shouting at one another--until we speak quietly enough so that our words can be heard as well as our voices.

And yet, out of this time of great discord, we have cause for celebration. Our scientists, working with indefatigable zeal, have produced a vaccine that promises to not only heal this virus, but holds the hope of providing the blueprint to effectively battle future viruses.

But there is no vaccine for our spiritual virus. We must seek to inoculate against that virus by finding balance within.

In the process of reclaiming our spiritual balance, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom and justice by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must never allow our discontents to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights

of meeting physical force with soul force.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

The peace we seek to win is not victory over any other people, but the peace that comes “with healing in its wings”; with compassion for those who have suffered; with understanding for those who have opposed us; with the opportunity for all the peoples of this earth to choose their own destiny. With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.

Thank you.

This is an amalgam of four different, crucial, speeches given in the past at times such as these — Lincoln’s first and second inaugurals, MLK’s “I Have a Dream,” and Nixon’s first inaugural — supplemented by some filler of my own.

If there is a way towards healing, I hope Joe Biden can summon similar wordplay as these men.

Bringing experience to the table

I

n the more than 23 years that I’ve lived in Jefferson County and the almost 40 that I’ve paid close attention to county politics, there have GUEST never been new county commisCOLUMN sioners who were better prepared Greg Romberg to enter office than we had last week when Tracy Kraft-Tharp and Andy Kerr were sworn into office.

Both Kraft-Tharp and Kerr come to the commissioners’ office having previously served Jefferson County taxpayers as members of the General Assembly. Kerr was first elected to the legislature in 2006 and first served as a representative and then as a senator for the next 12 years.

Kraft-Tharp served in the House of

Representatives from 2012 to 2020.

Their legislative experiences have schooled both new commissioners on a plethora of important issues that will continue to cross their desks in their new jobs. But, more importantly, their legislative service has made them experienced experts about how to work with people who have a variety of different philosophies and opinions to create and implement compromises that work for the benefit of their constituents.

During his time in the legislature, Kerr served in both the majority and minority. While his general inclination would be to work with both sides, nothing teaches elected officials about the tyranny of the majority more than being in the minority. While there are a variety of ways to react to being the victim of

abuse of power, I never saw Kerr do anything but continue to cast a wide net to work with various interests to pursue his legislative priorities and work for win-win solutions.

Kraft-Tharp was in the majority for her entire legislative tenure and was the powerful chair of the Business Affairs and Labor Committee during her last four years.

In that position, she reached out to a variety of different interests and legislators from across the political spectrum to craft (no pun intended) bipartisan solutions to difficult public policy questions. Among many successes, she developed and passed difficult tax simplification and telecommunications modernization bills. As the chair and a member of the party with significant majorities, she didn’t need to share credit,

but she had prime co-sponsors from the minority each time.

Jefferson County faces a variety of tough issues including severe budget difficulties that were initially caused by restrictions of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights and then exacerbated by the financial implications of the pandemic. Along with Lesley Dahlkemper, who will continue in office, Kraft-Tharp and Kerr are tasked with continuing to provide important government services to the residents of our county.

We’re fortunate to have these proven public servants on the Board of County Commissioners at this critical time.

OBITUARIES FERRITER

Robert Lawrence Ferriter

December 15, 1936 – December 20, 2020

It is with great sadness that the family of Robert “Bob” Ferriter of Lakewood, Colorado announces his passing on Sunday, December 20, 2020 at the age of 84. Bob will be lovingly remembered by his family, including his wife of 53 years, Sandra Ferriter; his children, Christi Browning (Lance), Timothy Ferriter (Amy), Michael Ferriter (Meredith), Elizabeth Pilson (Bryan); and his seven grandchildren, Trey, Sean, Keara, Aidan, Leland, Matthew and Joshua.

Bob graduated from the Colorado School of Mines with a Bachelor’s degree in mining engineering in 1960 and Master’s degree in petroleum engineering in 1971. In 1960, he entered the U.S. Navy’s Officer Candidate School and then went to Naval Civil Engineer Corps School. He was assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion FIVE. He served as the Officer in Charge of the first Seabee team deployed in the Pacific Theater.

In 1971, Bob became an active member of the U.S. Naval Reserve. He also completed tours with the SECOND Reserve Naval Construction Regiment.

Bob returned to active service and was assigned to the staff of the Chief of Naval operations at the Pentagon.

He retired from the U.S. Navy in 1989 with the rank of Captain, thus ending a remarkable career in service to his Country.

In civilian life, in 1971, Bob began working at the U.S. Bureau of Mines (MSHA). He served as an Engineer and Chief in the Ground Control Division.

In 1972, Captain Ferriter began the restoration of the Georgetown Loop Railroad, a project that was near

and dear to his heart. He commanded ‘Operation Silver Spike’, a restoration of the narrow-gauge railroad and mining camp for the Colorado State Historical Society.

In 1999, Bob returned to the Colorado School of Mines, this time to teach. He was instrumental in developing the Mine Safety and Health Program and mine rescue training. He dedicated his life to improving the safety and health and saving the lives of miners around the world. Bob was presented with the Highest Degree of Safety award from the International Society of Mine Safety Professionals. In 2017, Bob reluctantly retired from the Colorado School of Mines at the age of 80. He published many articles throughout his military career and co-authored the Mine Rescue Manual: A Comprehensive Guide for Mine Rescue Team Members.

Bob’s love of Westcliffe and the surrounding mountains has been passed down to his children and grandchildren. Bob had a meaningful impact and influence on all of those around him. He is deeply loved and will be dearly missed.

Rosary prayer service will be at Mount Olivet Chapel on January 6, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. Funeral mass will be at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church on January 7, 2021 at 10:30 a.m. and will be livestreamed for those that cannot attend. Interment will follow at Mount Olivet Cemetery.

A celebration of life for all of Bob’s family and friends to attend will be planned at a later date in 2021.

WORD ON THE HEAT

Green chile is region’s signature food, with no shortage of controversy

atch, Pueblo, Anaheim or an upstart from Greeley — Coloradans have differences of opinion on who grows green chiles best. But when it comes to the state’s love for the spicy fruit (yes, fruit), there’s not much debate to be found.

What you can find, almost everywhere, are green chile burgers, green chile burritos, green chiles in chocolate and wine. There’s green chile salsa, green chile sausages, chips with green chile and lime. But according to Eddie V., (last name withheld) originally from Pueblo, but calling Denver home for decades, for the true connoisseur, a bowl of green chile with a side of warm flour tortillas is all you’ll ever need.

New Mexico, let’s face it, is the 800-pound gorilla in the green chile game, with the tiny village of Hatch creating a smoky mystique from coast to coast. But Colorado has been making a respectable showing with the Mirasol, or Mosco chile, aka the

Pueblo chile, grown in, you guessed it, Pueblo.

To say green chiles are popular in the city of Pueblo would be a notable understatement. Home to the Chile and Frijoles Festival, and perennial but friendly foe of the folks down in Hatch, the Southern Colorado city can claim serious chile cred. But about four hours north and a little bit east, Greeley is trying to get a piece of the action.

“My mother grew up on a farm, and wanted a produce stand when she was a child, and her dad said no. Then, when she got married, she still wanted one, and my father said no. When he died, she told my brother she wanted one, and he asked me what we should do, and I said: ‘Build her a produce stand!” said Tigges Farm’s Kathy Rickart.

Rickart comes from a Greeley family farm that goes back three generations. Pumpkins are the big cash crop at Tigges Farm, but if she has her way, Northern Colorado will, some day, compete with Pueblo for SEE CHILE, P11

The power of Wood.Works at the Arvada Center COMING ATTRACTIONS

ood has proven to be one of the most reliable and dynamic materials humanity has made use of over the centuries. It has been employed to make everything from weapons and transportation to shelter and - as the Arvada Center highlights in its newest exhibits - art.

“In our research we found that the oldest wooden sculpture - the Shigir Idol - is about 11,000 years old, which is around when the human race was coming out the ice age,” said Collin Parson, director of galleries and curator. “Wood is a lot like paper - a creative development used to record the

stories of history.”

Wood.Works and Carley Warren: Three Pieces both run through April 25 at the Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. The galleries are open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday. To allow for physical distancing and capacity monitoring, an advance free reservation is recommended.

Wood.Works is a follow up to 2017’s Paper.

“We have large installations, elegant sculptures and detailed wood reliefs,” Parsson added. “We’ve created a kind of forest in the galleries with artists exploring their fascination with wood.”

green chile glory — maybe even with Hatch. Rickart, with a background in 4-H education, developed her love of the green chile while spending seven years living and working in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. Her brother, Kenneth Tigges, was running the family farm at that point — growing chiles without much local demand, when a neighbor told him he needed to start roasting them onsite, which was a game-changer.

In 2008, Rickart’s mother passed away. At that time, Rickart, her sister, Gale, and her brother officially took over the farm. They planted 5,000 chile plants that year.

They’ve since quadrupled that number, and Rickart has sought out every bit of knowledge about green chiles she can find. Last year, even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which she said gave them their share of difficulties, her farm sold out of chiles, Sahuaro by name,

completely. The season is shorter up north than in the warmer climes of New Mexico, so don’t dawdle if you aim to try a Greeley chile in the fall.

“As soon as we get the hard freezes, it puts an end to the season,” Rickart said.

“Mother Nature rules, from beginning to end.”

The fabled Santiago’s

Carmen Morales knows a few things about green chile, and green chiles. Morales founded Santiago’s. Her mother’s green chile recipe put the restaurant on the metro area’s culinary map 30 years ago. Now, with more than 28 locations, Santiago’s is virtually synonymous with breakfast burritos. But the green chile, she said, still reigns supreme. Morales’ parents were originally from New Mexico, where she said her mom learned to cook.

“My dad had to have green chile at every meal or he would refuse to eat,” she said. “To him, it wasn’t really a meal without it.”

So, her mom would make it from scratch every day.

Morales said that scratch

kitchen tradition continues to this day at every Santiago’s location. And when you see the numbers — the sheer volume of product they’re creating — it puts into perspective, what a massive undertaking it is.

“One year we purchased 1.8 million pounds of green chiles,” Morales said, “and sold 1.36 million gallons of green chile.”

Santiago’s gets all of those green chiles from Salem, New Mexico, not the storied Hatch. Morales says the farm they buy from is the only one they’ve found capable of producing what her restaurants need.

Santiago’s celebrated the 30th anniversary of their flagship location in Brighton earlier this month.

“Between the two exhibits people will get a broad understanding of the range of the material - one of most important to humans,” Parson said. “I hope people who come to the exhibit will see the limitless possibilities of using wood, and those more familiar with the material will have their eyes opened and curiosity sparked.”

Carne y Arena brings refugee stories to vivid life

It is one thing to experience a story on a screen or the page but being fully immersed in one provides a whole new perspective. That’s what Carne y Arena (Virtually Present, Physically Invisible) — a virtual-reality installation from Oscar-winning director Alejandro G. Iñárritu - offers to visitors at Stanley Marketplace, 2501 N. Dallas St. in Aurora, through Saturday, Jan. 30.

The 20-minute exhibit brings guests up close to the stories of immigrants and refugees fleeing the violence and threatening conditions of their hometowns who seek asylum in the United States. It uses cutting edge technology to guide guests through the harrowing trials and tribulations of refugees’ journeys to gain freedom and safety for themselves and their families. Most affecting of all, the stories are based on real experiences.

Carne y Arena premiered at the 70th Cannes Film Festival as the first virtual reality project to be featured in the festival’s history. Secure

As the lead figure in Uncle Tupelo and Wilco, Jeff Tweedy is responsible for some of the best alt-country/rock of the last more than 20 years. In the last decade or so, he’s taken to making solo albums, often getting quieter and more experimental than he would with the band.

His most recent album, 2020’s “Love is The King,” is perhaps his loveliest yet and is received a physical release on Jan. 15. To celebrate, Tweedy will be performing live from Constellation in Chicago with his local bandmates: Spencer and Sammy Tweedy, Liam Kazar, Sima Cunningham and James Elkington.

The livestream will begin at 7 p.m. and includes a live question and answer portion.

Streaming style - ‘Audrey: More Than an Icon’

To my mind, there are movie stars (both past and present) and then there’s Audrey Hepburn. There’s a reason her name has taken on a meaning unto itself - one that speaks of elegance, timeless beauty and an irrepressible warmth that infuses everything. The adoration so many have for Hepburn is all over the new documentary, “Audrey: More Than an Icon.”

The film traces Hepburn’s journey from war-torn Europe to the pinnacle of Hollywood, and then all over the world as an UNICEF ambassador. The documentary wisely spends as much time exploring her personality and guiding philosophies as it does on her fashion sense or ability to light up the screen. What emerges certainly isn’t the complete portrait of Hepburn - she was notoriously private

“A lot of the others are really hot and in the novelty category,” he said.

“Ours has green chile flavor and warmth, but it’s drinkable. We want people to drink one and want another, not get burned up by too much spice, too much alcohol — everything comes together to make a really nice balanced beer.”

Indrehus said it takes about 100 pounds of chiles — a blend of mild and hot Anaheims — to make every batch of lager.

Beer’s not your bag? Green chile lovers who prefer a touch of the grape, rejoice.

Lescombes Vineyard has you covered. The New Mexico winery has been making Hatch Green Chile Wine since the late 1980s.

Sandra Pacheco, national sales director at Lescombes, said the wine isn’t spicy.

“It’s more in the bouquet,” she said. “You’re getting the heat from the aroma, like the essence of a roasted chile, in the nose of the wine.”

Several stores in the metro area stock Hatch Green Chile Wine, if you’re so inclined.

With family missing in war, her ‘mind is the hardest place to be’ Refugee is consumed with worry about family caught in renewed civil war

BY SUSAN GREENE COLORADO NEWS COLLABORATIVE

Millete Birhanemaskel, a refugee, longtime Denver resident and businesswoman, grappled with 2020 as many others have: She tried to protect her family, her employees, her tenants from COVID’s reach. She worried about the presidential election. And she managed to keep her coffee shop, the Whittier Cafe, from going under.

She knew already what it was to be separated from the people you love, whether that separation comes by virus or by war. And she knew, too, what it was to live with uncertainty and powerlessness because each is a refugee’s emotional wallpaper.

But the anxieties of 2020 for her became magnitudes greater on Nov. 3.

On that day, as Americans and much of the world awaited election results, civil war flared again in her family’s home country of Ethiopia and her grandmother and two aunts went missing in the shelling. In the days since, the isolation that has marked this year for so many has taken on a new meaning for her: Much of her family is still unreachable and her grief is invisible to most Americans who know nothing of Ethiopia and the trauma of its wars.

“I swear to God I know I look like that crazy woman who is screaming about this terrible dream and everybody’s like `What is wrong with her?’

I feel like I’m in a psych ward yelling, but nobody can hear me.”

Birhanemaskel’s head is 8,000 miles away, at the refugee camp in Sudan where she was born after her parents fled bombing of their native Tigray in northern Ethiopia under a military dictatorship.

Her immediate family moved to Colorado in 1982, when she was an infant, but her grandmother and extended family have been living back in Tigray since the dictator was toppled in the early 1990s. That is, until November when a feud between Ethiopia’s federal government and local Tigrayan leaders prompted Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to bomb the region again, inciting a civil war that

Millete Birhanemaskel, 39, of Denver, moved to the United States from Ethiopia in 1982 and owns the Whittier Cafe, a business that she said is focused on social justice. She still has family in Ethiopia and is concerned for their well-being and safety as a civil war has broken out in the Tigray region where her family lives.

MARC PISCOTTY

has killed civilians and forced more than 50,000 Tigrayans to flee.

Constantly trying to make contact

Since the disappearance of her grandmother and two aunts, Birhanemaskel, 39, has been calling the cell phones she bought them, which go straight to busy signals without even ringing. She has been checking her Twitter feed every few minutes.

She keeps seeing posts that refugees have little food or water as they walk west toward refugee camps in Sudan, some reportedly collapsing, even dying of exhaustion along the way. She keeps hearing that Ethiopian soldiers are raping Tigrayan women and shooting or beheading Tigrayan men, leaving their bodies in the road for fellow refugees to step over. She keeps imagining she is walking in their shoes.

“As long as they’re missing, I can’t sleep, can’t focus, can’t enjoy anything because I keep having the most awful thoughts about what’s happening to them,” she says.

She is experiencing what clinicians call “vicarious trauma.”

But vicarious does not express how close it hits home, this civil war in a country where she has never officially lived, yet has defined so much of her life. It is the place, she says, that makes her “most full.” And yet the trauma her relatives are now enduring is a trauma they and her parents

CALL FOR HELP

ABOUT THE SERIES

Whatever you are going through, crisis counselors and professionally trained peer specialists are available to help.

Call the Colorado Crisis Service hotline at 1-844-493-TALK (8255). There is no wrong reason to reach out.

This story is part of a statewide reporting project from the Colorado News Collaborative called On Edge. The intent is to foster conversation about mental health in a state where stigma runs high.

This project is supported in part by the Rosalynn Carter Fellowship for Mental Health Reporting and a grant honoring the memory of the late Benjamin von Sternenfels Rosenthal.

lived through four decades ago - and the third siege on the Tigrayan people in her grandmother’s lifetime.

That story explains why her grandma, whose home was bombed in the 1970s, hates loud noises. It explains why her parents met in a refugee camp and emigrated to the U.S. with a promise to themselves and their kids: “Never again.”

“This is literally my own story, the story of why I’m here. It’s just horrific how history repeats itself, how it comes full circle, how my people are continuing to be devastated,” she says.

Vicarious does not describe the experience of having to stop thinking of herself as an Ethiopian American, but rather as a Tigrayan American virtually overnight Nov. 3. “There’s no way that my country could bomb my family like this,” she says.

Vicarious does not account for how on edge she feels, how irritated she is by the post-U.S.-election chatter on the talk radio her husband listens to every morning, how short-tempered she has become with their two youngest kids, ages 4 and 3, whose care her mother helps with.

“Thank God for that because I can’t be present with them and just forget about it, so I just sit in my car and scroll my phone for news about Ethiopia. This has consumed my entire life. Every minute. And I don’t know how to stop that.”

Birhanemaskel, who gave up her Ethiopian passport to become a U.S. citizen, would not be allowed into the country at this point. So she applied weeks ago for an emergency visa to tour the refugee camps in Sudan, partly so she can help tell Tigrayans’ stories on social media, but mainly to search for her grandma and aunties, or at least find out if they’re still alive. She will fly east when her visa arrives, which could be any day now, and daydreams about spotting them immediately in the camp where she was born.

Mother urges daughter to stay home

Her mother — who lived in that

camp for several years and knows what she’s heading into — has begged her to stay here with her kids.

Birhanemaskel knows she is risking COVID exposure and a lack of medical care in Sudan, and a long quarantine when she returns. She also knows that posting refugees’ stories could put her at risk of getting blacklisted by Ahmed’s government and forbidden from seeing her family if the civil war ends and if they survive and if they return, once again, to Tigray.

Those possibilities, however unbearable, seem preferable to further neither-here-nor-thereness. From the comfort of her home in Denver, she says, she cannot pretend she isn’t caught in this war.

“When I weigh just sitting here against what if that happens or what if I get COVID, it doesn’t even compare. I just can’t stay here doing nothing much more.”

Her decision to make the trip became easier last week when, after hundreds of attempts, her grandmother finally answered her cell phone.

“We talked for only a minute. She was terrified. The only thing she would say is `I’m in hiding, we’re rationing water, and where’s my daughter, you’ve got to find my daughter.’”

“Who could say no?” Birhanemaskel says. “I have to try because my mind is the hardest place to be.”

Patience in getting the vaccine out to everyone

I

t’s a pretty fast paced world that we are all living in, and one thing that seems to have diminished considerably is our patience with everything. The other day I read about an interesting study which showed that even modern performances of classical music are played, on average, 30% faster than they were only 50 years ago. I guess that means people are playing Chopin’s Minute Waltz in about 42 seconds now. I don’t have any grandchildren, so I’m not around little kids very much anymore, but I can imagine that nowadays they probably start askINANCIAL AND TAX SERV PL E TE F IC COM SIN ES S A N D P R OF E SS I E S U B ONAL SMALL R S O F

ing “are we there yet?” before the car even gets out of the driveway.

I mention this because right now we are all in need of a little extra patience to get through everything that’s going on lately. Time has a way of fixing John Akal a lot of things, and the one thing that is on top of everyone’s list is getting past this COVID-19 pandemic.

Of course, the golden ticket to that is getting one of the vaccines, but this is where a lot of patience is wearing thin and frustration is starting to set in. The information people are getting is an upsetting combination of sparse and confusing which leaves a lot of folks feeling like they are just wandering down a path to nowhere without a map. I know that’s how I felt. When, where and how do we get vaccinated?

Well, here’s some answers for you.

The first one is take a deep breath and be a little patient right now.

This is a massive undertaking and there are a lot of logistics to work out. It takes some time to get production of the vaccines up and to work out ways to get it ordered and just where it needs to be delivered.

Does it go to the State first? Individual counties? Cities and towns? Can we get rid of some of the middle

distribution centers and get the stuff sent directly to the vaccination sites? All of these things take a little while to work out and as with anything new, there’s going to be a lot of trial and error, with a few failures along the way. But, before you know it, they’ll have it working smoothly and that won’t be a hurdle anymore. Patience.

The big question is who can get vaccinated and where to go to get a shot. That’s another one that is still in the mass confusion and development state, and the answer is that between the time I write this and you get to read it, the situation will probably completely change, so I really can’t give you a good answer.

But what I can do is direct you to a few places where you can get updated information.

First off, all of this is controlled by the State and County health departments and for those of us in this area, the first place to look is the Jefferson County website. You can get there by going to www.jeffco.us. Right at the very top is a link you can click on that says Coronavirus/COVID-19 Updates and Resources. Click on “Read more…”

That takes you to a page with loads of information, including links to updates on vaccine priorities and timelines, where and when different vaccination locations will be operating, how to register for a place in line or for further updates sent directly to you. Just start clicking on the various links on

there. But, again, patience is going to come into play. The supply still has to catch up with the demand, so there may be a 2-6 week wait to get an appointment, even if your age group or situation makes you currently eligible.

For information on the State level, go to www.covid19.colorado.gov/ for-coloradans/vaccine/vaccinefor-coloradans. That takes you to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment website that has more important information, including the various time tables for the vaccination phases.

All of this information and registration is primarily on the Internet. Older people may need some help with this, so if you are having trouble, ask someone a little younger to help you. If you have older friends or relatives don’t wait to be asked, offer your assistance.

They will greatly appreciate it.

Also, do yourself a favor and get a little jump start on the process by checking it all out before your phase begins.

And remember, together we can get through all of this if we just have a little more … Patience.

Printing a piece of Golden Golden native aims to capture his hometown, other small towns with unique prints Makers Market in Southwest Plaza mall.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF KARLI MILLSPAUGH

Hoping to make shopping small the next big thing Boutique curator mixes maker and mall culture to bring hipster cool to the suburbs

IF YOU GO… Makers Market, Southwest Plaza 8501 W. Bowles Ave., Littleton Makers Market, Park Meadows 8401 Park Meadows Center Drive, Lone Tree Curate Mercantile 8242 S. University Blvd., Suite 150, Centennial

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The economy has been battered almost everywhere by the COVID-19 crisis. Unemployment is high. Some retailers and restaurants have been shuttered.

But for Karli Millspaugh, owner of the Makers Market stores in the Southwest Plaza and Park Meadows shopping malls, the shutdowns and cutbacks caused by the coronavirus pandemic were a challenge she chose to meet head-on.

“Here’s the interesting thing about me: I don’t take no for an answer very well,” Millspaugh said.

She said when the pandemic hit she didn’t have a website, infrastructure for shipping, or anything, really, to help her navigate the online sales that would be necessary to keep her businesses afloat. But with 150 merchant vendors with booths in her stores and 28 employees counting on her, she had to dive right in, making things happen fast.

The Makers Market stores, and her first retail venture, Curate, are concepts based on antique malls, but instead of buildings full of antiques and collectables, vendors sell artisan, handcrafted goods, with food, clothing, jewelry and everything in-between creating a vibrant, eclectic mix of items to attract shoppers. She said the concept is in line with the times, as social media and websites like Etsy spotlight shopping small and supporting independent craftspeople.

Millspaugh came to own the businesses through what the kids these days would call her side hustle.

“I actually started as a vendor myself, refinishing furniture and selling it at places like the Paris Street Market in Aspen Grove,” she said. “People starting asking about where my brick and mortar was, so I started researching places I could sell on a more regular basis.”

Millspaugh said she found a

couple of small stores in Littleton that matched her concept, but neither were a great fit. She soon turned her attention to Unlisted Market in Littleton, got a booth, eventually offering the marketing and promotion skills she used in her full-time day job, to the owner.

Before long, she became a partner in Unlisted, and in 2019 took over ownership, changing the location and the name, to what is now, Curate, located in Centennial.

The Makers Market stores had been running since 2015, and Millspaugh took ownership of them in January of 2020, bringing this story back to where it started.

March 16, 2020, is a date Millspaugh remembers well. That’s the day she had to close her stores due to the COVID-19 regulations affecting nonessential businesses. Curate was closed for nearly two months, the Park Meadows Makers Market location was shut down for about 10 weeks and her Southwest Plaza location wasn’t able to reopen for almost three months — an eternity in the life of a retail store.

But thanks to her ability to roll with the punches the virus threw at her small chain of stores, Millspaugh has been able to survive, and even thrive, in the current atmosphere. Launching a program called Curate Care Packages allowed her not only to keep her rent paid, but just as important to her, to extend a lifeline to her merchant vendors. The idea was simple — use her vendors’ merchandise to offer customers curated gift packages, with items specially chosen by Millspaugh. The care packages are offered at different price points and so far they’ve shipped more than

2,000 of them.

According to Millspaugh, the care packages and the Paycheck Protection Program loan she was able to get might have been the difference between riding out the storm and closing the doors on the business for good. In fact, she said online sales of care packages have been so popular that she plans to keep offering them indefinitely. They may have even given some of her vendors a boost in income that’s allowing them to surpass pre-pandemic revenues. She said approximately 10% of her vendors have struggled to keep going, even as she was able to offer free or discounted rent during the shutdowns. But overall, business is good and there’s a six- to 18-month wait list to get a vendor spot in one of her locations.

Millspaugh’s husband, Brent, has even left his former accounting career to help her run the businesses full-time. It’s been so busy she long ago had to give up on her furniturerefinishing biz.

“My talent and skill set were needed in other aspects, to help make this business thrive for all of our vendors,” she said.

As for the future, Millspaugh plans to continue honing her curating skills, which include placing the right vendor in the right location, when a rare opening comes up, opening workshops to help people find their inner-artisan and figuring out the right marketing magic to spread the word to shoppers who want to support small, locally owned businesses offering boutique products they won’t find anywhere else.

“I love looking for new ways to approach things,” she said. “One of the vendors said he admires my ability to try new things to see if one will stick. I just can’t wait for more of those moments.”

Last summer, Mitchell Bowen was in a situation that might feel familiar to many people who have gone to college: he was headed into his senior year with no idea about what he was going to do after.

He would come up with his answer in a seemingly unlikely place for a Golden native studying art at a small school in the Midwest — Pagosa Springs in southwest Colorado.

That’s where Bowen, who said he has never been a fan of typical mass-produced souvenirs, was hoping to find a postcard that would capture Pagosa Springs in a distinctive artistic style that makes use of modernist typography and a limited palette of colors he would later learn originated with the Works Progress Administration’s iconic national parks posters from the 1930s.

“It kind of has that retro feel and I really appreciate the simplicity of the color and the balance of it,” he said. “They are really simplistic and beautifully made.”

Unfortunately, Bowen had no luck finding a postcard, or anything else, in that style.

“I was just beside myself because I was thinking `if they had a postcard or something like this it would sell so well because Pagosa Springs is such a touristy area,’” he said.

“And then I was like `hey, I could do that.’”

So, Bowen began trying to make his own posters, although he now SEE PRINTS, P16

says his first many attempts “were all just horrible.”

But despite that initial discouragement, Bowen became only more committed to creating the kind of prints he suspected others would like as much as him when he was assigned to create a “publishable illustration.”

He spent the next eight weeks creating a set of designs reflecting Winona Lake, the beautiful lakeside town in Indiana where he is a student at Grace College. This time, Bowen was excited about the designs, and so was everyone he showed them to.

When the school gave each student in the class $100 to get the illustrations printed, he decided he would go into the stores in Winona Lake and see if he could get anyone to sell posters and postcards he had printed them onto.

Although many shop owners expressed interest, the owners of a store called Letterwood Paper Co. wanted to jump on the idea immediately and bought most of his posters as well as several of the postcards.

But they wouldn’t keep them in stock for long.

“I flew home to Golden that week and then they texted me on Sunday saying “come in Monday we’ve almost sold everything,” he said.

“That was just like very exciting and confirming.

TAKE A LOOK While Mitchell Bowen’s Golden posters and postcards should be in stores in Golden shortly, Goldenites can follow him on Instagram at @bowen_travelposters something of a sensation in town, with several residents coming in to buy a series to frame and display.

“The local community along with the local college student population loved hearing about the student making these great Winona Lake prints and taking the risk to start a small business so they were excited to offer support,” Walker said.

In the time since, Bowen has kept Letterwood Paper Co. supplied with postcards and posters while expanding sales to three other stores. But he’s also turned his attention to creating designs for other communities, starting with his hometown.

He’srecently finished a full set of Golden prints, with designs to include North and South Table Mountain, downtown and Clear Creek as well as some that will depict Goldencentric activities like hiking and hang gliding.

He is working on getting those designs into stores around town by mid January, and hopes to continue to expand to other cities that are popular with tourists and make a career out of traveling around to do so following his graduation in May. “I’m pretty excited about that and just kind of going around camping in national forests or whatever and then going into the small towns in the area and stuff to do this,” he said. “That’s my hope.”

APPLICATION FOR PARTIAL CHANGE OF WATER RIGHT, RIGHT OF SUBSTITUTION, AND CONDITIONAL APPROPRIATION OF RETURN FLOWS IN JEFFERSON, DOUGLAS, ADAMS, ARAPAHOE, BROOMFIELD, AND DENVER COUNTY. 2.

Description of Application: Denver Water seeks to add alternate points of diversion, places of storage, and uses for the approximately 12 cubic feet per second (“c.f.s.”) portion of the City Ditch it owns that was historically used north of Interstate 25 prior to 2002, when City Ditch was severed at its intersection with Interstate 25. 3. Decreed Water Right that is the Subject of the Application: a. Name of Water Right: City Ditch. b. Name of Structure: Platte River Ditch also known as the City Ditch (formerly known as Platte Water Ditch, the Big Ditch, Platte Water Company’s Ditch, and Capitol Hydraulic Company’s Ditch). c. Legislative Acts, Original Decree, and All Relevant Subsequent Decrees Associated with the Subject Water Right: i. Private Laws of the Territory of Kansas, Original Enrolled House Bill No. 140, February 21, 1860 (“House Bill No. 140”). ii. An Act to Change the Name of the Capital Hydraulic Company, approved January 10, 1867, General Laws, Joint Resolutions, Memorials, and Private Acts, Passed at the Sixth Session of the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Colorado. iii. In the Matter of the Priority of Water Rights in District No. 8 of Colorado, Case No. December 10, 1883 (Douglas County Dist. Ct., December 10, 1883) (“December 10, 1883 Adjudication Decree”). iv.

Ct., February 25, 1918) (“CA 791 Decree”). viii. City & County of Denver v. Brown, Case No. CA34488 (City & County of Denver Dist.

Ct., May 27, 1919). ix. Concerning the Revised Abandonment List of Water Rights in Water Division No. 1, Case No. 11CW263 (Water Division 1, January 30, 2013). d. Points of Diversion: i. House Bill No. 140: “. . . from the bed of the South Platte river at any point . . . between the Platte canon and the mouth of Cherry Creek, and also . . . from the bed of Cherry creek at any point within six miles of its mouth….” ii. CA 791 Decree: A point situated in the southwest quarter of the southeast quarter (S.W. 1/4 of S.E. 1/4) of Section 14, Township 6 South, Range 69 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, from whence the southeast corner of the southwest quarter of the southeast quarter (S.W. 1/4 of S.E. 1/4) of said Section 14 bears north 89 degrees 47 minutes 30 seconds east 188.6 feet in said Douglas County, State of Colorado, as generally depicted in Exhibit A. iii. Chatfield Reservoir Dam and Manifold: The existing point of diversion is now the Chatfield Reservoir Dam and Manifold. The center line of the manifold intersects the center line of the dam at a point whence the SW Corner of Section 1, Township 6 South, Range 69 West of the 6th P.M., Jefferson County, bears North 49 decrees a distance of 4,070 feet. Due to the construction of Chatfield Reservoir Dam and Manifold, the point of diversion decreed in CA 791 is within the high water line and a portion of the ditch alignment was inundated by the reservoir.

Consequently, water diverted under the City Ditch water right is diverted and measured at the Chatfield Dam and Manifold. The diversion of the City Ditch water right at Chatfield Dam and Manifold is authorized by C.R.S. § 37-28-111(1) and justified by the construction of Chatfield Reservoir, as generally depicted in Exhibit A. e. Source of Water: South Platte River. f. Appropriation Dates: i. House Bill No. 140: February 21, 1860, Date of Approval of Kansas Territory House Bill No. 140. ii.

Priority 1 is decreed “[s]o much water as will flow in said ditch on a grade or fall of four and one half feet to the mile with width on bottom of ten feet, width on top 13 feet, with depth of water flow of eighteen inches.” The State Engineer has determined and administered Priority 1 as being entitled to a total of 30 c.f.s. ii. Priority 75 is decreed “so much additional water as will amount to forty-three cubic feet of water per second of time.” The State Engineer has determined and administered this priority as being entitled to 13 c.f.s. iii. Priority 130 is decreed “so much additional water, as will amount to 89-95/100 cubic feet of water per second of

time.” The State Engineer has determined and administered this priority as being entitled to 42.95 c.f.s. iv. House Bill No. 140 did not specify a flow rate limit. h. Statutory and Decreed Uses: Mechanical, agricultural, irrigation, mining, and city purposes. I. CLAIM FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHT 4. Detailed Description of Proposed Change: a. Statement of Change, Including a Description of All Water Rights to be Changed: Denver Water seeks to quantify the historical consumptive use and return flows and add alternate points of diversion and places of storage for approximately 12 c.f.s. decreed to Priority 1 that was historically used to irrigate City Park, Washington Park and Denver Country Club (“Subject Water Right”). The existing point of diversion for the Subject Water Right is described in paragraph 3.d.iii. above. The alternate points of diversion and places of storage Denver Water seeks to add for the City Ditch water right are described in paragraph 4.b. and 4.c. below. The Subject Water Right will be diverted through these alternate points of diversion, stored, and treated and used in Denver Water’s municipal system for delivery within Denver Water’s service area shown in Exhibit B, areas served by contract, and for replacement of depletions for the purposes described in paragraph 4.e. below. The place of use of any water diverted or stored under this water right is subject to and will be in accordance with the terms of the Colorado River Cooperative Agreement effective September 26, 2013 or as amended. A summary of diversion records for the City Ditch water right is attached as Exhibit C. Denver Water does not seek to change any portion of the City Ditch water right, nor any other rights, other than 12 c.f.s. historically applied to irrigated areas north of Interstate 25. b. Description of Alternate Points of Diversion: In addition to the points of diversion described in paragraph 3.d. above, Denver Water will divert the Subject Water Right at the following points of diversion: i. The Foothills Tunnel and Conduit No. 26 diverts water from the South Platte River by means of a dam across the channel of the South Platte River known as the Strontia Springs Diversion Dam in the northwest quarter of the northwest quarter of Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 69 West of the 6th P.M. in Jefferson and Douglas Counties, State of Colorado.

The Foothills Tunnel consists of a 10-foot 6-inch finished inside diameter concrete lined tunnel connecting an intake structure located within the Strontia Springs Reservoir to a cement-mortar lined steel pipeline (Conduit No. 26), which in turn connects to the headwork structure of the Foothills Water Treatment Plant. ii.

II. CLAIM FOR RIGHT OF SUBSTITUTION 5. Return Flow Replacement through Substitution: Denver Water will have return flow replacement obligations resulting from the historical use of the City Ditch

water right that is the subject of this application.

Denver Water will use the sources listed in paragraph 6 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 6 below pursuant to statutory procedures; provided the water so released is fully consumable. All releases of replacement sources to meet Denver Water’s return flow replacement obligations will be made in the same time, amount, and location of the historical return flows when a call is being administered on the South Platte River downstream of the historical accrual location senior to the date of this application. 6. 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. Denver Water also owns water rights in tributaries to the Colorado River, which Denver imports to the South Platte River basin for beneficial use. In addition, Denver Water owns water rights in not-nontributary Arapahoe and Upper Arapahoe Aquifer formations and water rights in the nontributary Arapahoe and Upper Arapahoe, Laramie-Fox 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 City Ditch water right. 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 Subject Water Right decreed under the December 10, 1883 Adjudication Decree.

APPLICATION FOR PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION INCLUDING EXCHANGE, APPROPRIATIVE RIGHT OF EXCHANGE AND TO VACATE PRIOR AUGMENTATION PLAN IN JEFFERSON AND PARK COUNTIES. CLAIM NO. 1: APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF A PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION AND EXCHANGE PROJECT RIGHT 2. Names of Structures to be Augmented and General Description: Co-Applicant RandK owns 45.37 acres, consisting of two parcels of land, located in the SW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 22 and the NW1/4, Section 27, Township 6 South, Range 71 West of the 6th P.M., consisting of Apache Trail Subdivision Lot 1, a/k/a, 29222 Mary’s Dr., Conifer, Colorado 80433 and Apache Trail Subdivision Lot 2, a/k/a, 11609 Apache Trail, Conifer, Colorado 80433, as shown on the map attached as Exhibit A (together the “RandK Property”).

RandK seeks an augmentation plan using water associated with 3.3 shares of Mountain Mutual Reservoir Company (“MMRC”) to replace out-of-priority pumping from two wells serving three residential units on the RandK Property, consisting of one single family residence and one duplex. As described below, Co-Applicant seeks to vacate the augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 96CW1048, which plan currently serves McCarthy Well No. 1, described below. The wells to be augmented pursuant to this augmentation plan are: a. The McCarthy Well No. 1: Permit No. 66495-F, decreed in Case No. 96CW1048, Water Division 1, entered December 23, 1996, for domestic purposes within a single-family residence and fire protection purposes. The McCarthy Well No. 1 was made absolute in Case No. 11CW166. The McCarthy Well No. 1 is located on Apache Trail Lot 1 in the SW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 22, Township 6 South, Range 71 West of the 6th P.M., at a point 330 feet from the south line and 150 feet from the west line of said Section 22. b. The Page Well 30054: Permit No. 30054-A, decreed in Case No. W-1572, Water Division 1, entered December 26, 1972, for domestic purposes. The Page Well 30054 is located on the Apache Trail Lot in the S1/2 of the NW1/4 of the NW1/4, Section 27, Township 6 South, Range 71 West of the 6th P.M. The UTM coordinate for the well is 471541 E, 4372965 N, Zone 13, NAD 83. 3. Water Rights to be used for Augmentation Purposes: RandK is the owner of the augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 96CW1048, which currently augments out-of-priority depletions associated with the McCarthy Well No. 1, described above. RandK seeks to vacate the augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 96CW1048 in order to utilize the 1.1 MMRC share associated with that prior augmentation plan in this case. In addition, RandK is under contract to purchase an additional 2.2 shares of MMRC for this augmentation plan. In sum, RandK owns 3.3 shares of MMRC to satisfy its augmentation needs in this case, which represents 0.075 acre-feet firm yield from the Guiraud 3T Ditch, 0.029 acre-feet of water stored in Spinney Mountain Reservoir, and 0.035 acre-feet storage space in Maddox Reservoir. These water rights associated with the 3.3 shares of MMRC are more particularly described as follows: a. Guiraud 3T Ditch. MMRC owns 3.481 cubic feet per second of the water rights decreed in the Guiraud 3T Ditch as follows: Adjudication Date

The Guiraud 3T Ditch headgate is located on the South bank of the Middle Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4, Section 8, Township 11 South, Range 76 West, 6th P.M., Park County, Colorado, at a point whence the Northeast Corner of the NE1/4 of said Section 8 bears North 63° 35” East, 1,305 feet. Originally decreed for irrigation uses, this water right has been subject to various change proceedings. Past decrees have determined the average annual consumptive use under the Guiraud 3T Ditch to be 21.825 acre feet per year per 1.0 cfs. MMRC therefore owns 75.972 acre-feet of consumptive use replacement water associated with its 3.481 cfs interest in the Guiraud 3T Ditch. The firm yield of Guiraud 3T Ditch owned by MMRC is shown on Exhibit B. b. Spinney Mountain Reservoir. Located on the South Platte River, with the left abutment of the dam at a point whence the Southwest corner of Section 36, Township 12 South, Range 74 West, 6th P.M., Park County, Colorado, bears South 23o26’ West a distance of 8,314.3 feet.

Water Division No. 1 District Court Case No. W-7434 changed the location of the headgate for 0.28 of a cubic-foot-per-second to the Nickerson No. 2 Ditch, as shown above. This 0.28 of a cubic-foot-per-second is included in this contract. h. Slaght Ditch. In accordance with the Decree entered in Civil Action No. 1678 of Park County District Court, on May 22, 1913, the Slaght Ditch was awarded a direct flow priority of May 1, 1863, for 2.0 cubic feet per second for irrigation purposes. The source of water is the North Fork of the South Platte River. The point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch was originally established to be a point on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 SE1/4, of Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 2,060 feet North and 490 feet West of the SE Corner of Section 21. Pursuant to a decree entered by the District Court for Water Division 1 in Case No. 82CW472, on October 3, 1983, the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch was approved as an alternate point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch water right. The point of diversion of the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch is located on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NW1/4 SW1/4, Section 22, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 1,240 feet East and 1,740 feet North of the SW Corner of Section 22. In Case No. 79CW339, 0.12 of a cubic foot per second of the Slaght Ditch water right was changed to augmentation, replacement and storage purposes. In Case No. 81CW253, the point of diversion for 0.008 of a cubic foot per second of the Slaght Ditch priority was changed to a new location, with the water continuing to be used for irrigation purposes. Of the remaining 1.872 cubic feet per second, 0.481 of a cubic foot per second was transferred by MMRC in Case No. 2003CW238 and 0.727 was transferred in Case No. 2016CW3197. i. Mack Ditch No. 2. In accordance with the Decree entered in Civil Action No. 1678 of the Park County District Court, on May 22, 1913, the Mack Ditch No. 2 as awarded a direct flow priority of May 1, 1863, for 1.0 cubic foot per second for irrigation purposes. The source of water is the North Fork of the South Platte River.

Of the remaining 0.8809 of a cubic foot per second, 0.44045 of a cubic foot per second was transferred by MMRC in Case No. 2003CW238. j. Firm Yield of Nickerson Ditch Rights: The Nickerson No 2, Parmalee No. 1, and Carruthers No. 2 Ditches are referred to herein as the “Nickerson Ditch Rights.” The Decree issued in Case No. 2000CW174, dated October 11, 2002, quantified the historic consumptive use associated with the Nickerson Ditch Rights. The terms and conditions under which the Nickerson Ditch Rights are used for augmentation, replacement, exchange and storage purposes were also defined and approved in Case No. 2000CW174, as follows: i. The Nickerson Ditch Rights may be left in the stream system to offset depletions from water use by MMRC shareholders. The water may also be stored in the Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir No. 1, Maddox Reservoir and other MMRC reservoirs within the South Platte River Basin located above South Platte, Colorado; provided, however, that the details of storage in another reservoir are published in the Water Resume, or such storage is approved by the State Engineer pursuant to Paragraphs 37-80-120 and 37-92-308, 10 C.R.S. (2002). ii. The maximum rate of diversion under the Nickerson Ditch Rights is 0.8 of a cubic foot per second. Diversions are

limited to the May 1, 1867 priorities decreed to the Parmalee Ditch No. 1 and the Carruthers Ditch No. 2. iii. Diversions to storage and/or assignment for in-stream augmentation credit are limited to the period April 23 through October 31 of each year, and are further limited to those times when water is physically and legally available for diversion at the historic Nickerson Ditch No. 2 headgate on Deer Creek. If the May 1, 1867, priority is not fully satisfied to the extent of 0.8 of a cubic foot per second, the diversion rate is reduced to the flow, which is then physically and legally available. iv. Maximum monthly diversions under the Nickerson Ditch Rights are limited as follows: April, 2.0 acre feet; May, 16.0 acre feet; June, 19.0 acre feet; July, 16.0 acre feet; August, 10.0 acre feet; September, 7.0 acre feet; and October, 4.0 acre feet. Maximum annual diversions are limited to 62 acre-feet per year. During any consecutive ten-year period, total diversions are further limited to 486 acre-feet. k. Firm Yield of Slaght Ditch Rights: The Slaght Ditch and Mack Ditch No. 2 water rights described herein shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as “Slaght Ditch Rights.” The Decree issued in Case No. 2003CW238, dated October 24, 2006, quantified the historic consumptive use associated with the Slaght Ditch Rights. The terms and conditions under which these water rights are used for augmentation, replacement, exchange and storage purposes were also defined and approved in Case No. 2003CW238, as follows: i. The Slaght Ditch Rights may be left in the stream system to offset depletions from water use by MMRC shareholders. The water may also be stored in the Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir No. 1 or the Maddox Reservoir. ii. The maximum rate of diversion under the Slaght Ditch Rights is 0.5 of a cubic foot per second. iii. Diversions to storage and/or assignment for in-stream augmentation credit are limited to the period May 1 through October 31 of each year, and are further limited to those times when water is physically and legally available for diversion at the historic Slaght Ditch headgates on the North Fork of the South Platte River. If the May 1, 1867, priority is not fully satisfied to the extent of 2.0 cubic foot per second for the Slaght Ditch and 1.0 cubic foot per second for the Mack Ditch No. 2, MMRC’s diversions are limited to its prorate entitlement to the water when physically and legally available. iv. Maximum annual diversions of the portion of the Slaght Ditch Rights changed in 2003CW238 are limited to 41 acre-feet per year. During any consecutive ten year period, the total diversions are further limited to 342 acre feet. v. Pursuant to the Decree issued in Case No. 2016CW3197, the historic consumptive use associated with an additional 0.727 cfs of the Slaght Ditch water right yields 31.8 acre-feet of consumptive use water. 4. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: The water demands consist of in-house use for three residential units, comprised of one single family dwelling and one duplex. The in-house water requirements for each dwelling unit assumes an average occupancy of 3.5 capita. The estimated water requirements are 80 gallons per capita per day (gpcd) for in-house uses, with 10% consumption based on subsurface discharge from an individual septic tank-soil absorption system. This plan will require 0.104 of an acre-foot of replacement water, including delivery losses, as shown in the table as follows:

The injurious out-of-priority depletions will be replaced with water from the sources described in section 13, above, at the locations described in that above section. APPROPRIATIVE RIGHTS OF SUBSTITUTION AND EXCHANGE 15. When a valid call is being administered from a water right senior to December 31, 2020, and when all or part of the augmentation or required historical return flow replacement water is provided below the location of the depletion from an Augmented Structure or below the location where the historical return flow replacement is required to be made, Broomfield will augment injurious out-of-priority depletions and/or replace required historical return flows via one or more of the following appropriative rights of substitution and exchange: 15.1 Exchange reach: 15.1.1 Downstream Terminus: Confluence of Little Dry Creek and the South Platte River, in the S ½ NE 1/4 , Section 12, Township 2 North, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M. 15.1.2 Upstream Terminus: in the NE 1/4 of Section 12, Township 2 South, Range 69 West of the 6th P.M., at the location of the most upstream point where depletions from the Augmented Structures accrue to Big Dry Creek. The Exchange Reach is depicted on Exhibit D attached hereto. Within the Exchange Reach, other exchange-from points are claimed for the delivery or release point of each structure and source described in section 13, above, and other exchange-to points are claimed for the point of depletion for each Augmented Structure and at each required return flow replacement location. Matrices of all the exchangefrom and exchange-to points claimed herein will be developed during the proceeding. 15.2 The date of appropriation of the substitutions and exchanges is December 31, 2020. The appropriations were initiated by formation of the intent to utilize the substitutions and exchanges to replace depletions caused by the structures described herein and the filing of the application in water court on December 31, 2020. 15.3 The maximum rate of the exchanges is estimated not to exceed 10 cfs. Broomfield seeks a decree for whatever exchange rate(s) are determined in this proceeding, even if higher than the estimated rate described in this section. 15.4 The sources of substitute supply for the exchange are the sources described in section 13, above. 15.5 The proposed uses are augmentation and replacement. Broomfield acknowledges that the State and Division Engineers may refer to all or portions of these exchange rights as an “exchange project” or an “exchange project right.” 16.
