A movement comes to the suburbs Anti-racism community groups have sprung up in Jeffco in wake of summer protests

Officials encourage additional caution after Deer Creek Canyon Park reopens

When demonstrations began springing up in cities around the nation in response to the killing of George Floyd, Zenat Shariff Belkin was troubled to find no such protests in her home city of Lakewood.

“Frankly, I did not feel that anything was happening in Lakewood,” said Shariff Belkin. “And so I thought it would be a really great opportunity to actually bring awareness to what was happening with Black Lives Matter.”

So Shariff Belkin began organizing her own sign-waving protests on Tuesdays on different corners in Lakewood, which ranged in size from 50 to as many as 150 attendees.

“It’s really organic and we have no formal structure,” she said. “We just pushed it out on our Facebook page.”

Shariff Balkin, it turned out, was not alone in wanting to organize a demonstration in suburban Jeffco.

COURTESY PHOTO Just a few miles away in Wheat Ridge, similar gatherings were happening in front of Right Coast Pizza at 38th Avenue and High Court after Morgan Richards decided to start going out there with her family.

“We decided we were going to let the community know this matters,” said Richards. “Even in Wheat Ridge.”

But in the months since, what began as group of individuals taking to the streets in protest of recent police killings has evolved into ac-

tual organizations seeking to draw attention to and combat racism at the community level.

What that looks like had differed by city. In Wheat Ridge, a newly formed group has been sending members to speak before the Wheat Ridge City Council to ask the city to to implement required and continuous equity training for all city employees and establish a task force to examine city policies with an eye toward diversity and equity.

Summertime, and the event planning isn’t that easy Council asks city to be more selective in permitting events, street closures

COVID-19 has put the kibosh on most city events in Golden for the time being — but that hasn’t stopped the city from considering what the

Mountain lion encounter sparks three-day park closure

future of events could look like.

On Oct. 15, the city council held a discussion at which it determined it is time to rethink portions of the city’s policy for determining what events can be held in the city — four years after significant changes were last made to the policy.

“I think we’ve done a great job but there’s some definite room for improvement going forward,” said councilman Casey Brown.

Brown’s comment was echoed by most of the council who expressed concerns about issues ranging from the over-commercialization of some

downtown events to their being too many event-related street closures downtown streets.

Overall a prevailing sentiment seemed to be that the city is allowing too many events that do not benefit — or even negatively affect — both residents and downtown businesses.

Councilman Bill Fisher said he has heard from residents who feel downtown events have grown too large and there is no longer a need to hold so many events.

SEE EVENTS, P10

Driving toward the trailhead, the natural beauty of the surroundings, like most of Colorado’s wild spaces, evokes a sense of peace that draws people in. It’s one of the reasons so many of us love this state. But occasionally there’s an incident that reminds us of just how wild it can really be.

Deer Creek Canyon Park reopened Oct. 13, after a three-day shutdown that allowed officials from Colorado Parks and Wildlife to search for a mountain lion that had reportedly displayed abnormal behavior in an encounter with a cyclist. During the incident which occurred on the evening of Oct., 9, the mountain lion approached cyclist Kathleen McCarthy while she was riding her bike on Red Mesa trail and stalked her for nearly 30 minutes as she tried to back away from it. McCarthy talked with a 911 dispatcher for the duration of the encounter while she waited for help to arrive. According to Matt Robbins, Community Connections Manager at Jeffco Open Space, McCarthy was able to put her bike between herself and the big cat, which was exactly the right thing to do.

“Remember that as we have migrated and moved up into the mountains, we’re really living in their environment,” Robbins said.

“Maintain space, use rocks, a walking stick, or anything else you have, to keep distance between yourself and an aggressive animal.”

In McCarthy’s case, her quick thinking paid off and she wasn’t injured by the cat. Robbins thinks people should always keep in mind that they can’t outrun or outride a mountain lion, and they need to be prepared to fight back if necessary. He SEE LION, P3

Jeffco now has more new COVID-19 cases than ever County verging on being designated “high risk” by state

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jeffco public health officials are warning residents to exercise caution and avoid gatherings after the county has repeatedly reached new highs for new COVID-19 cases in a two-week period during recent days and is now at risk of seeing restrictions tightened.

As of Oct. 19, new highs for two-week cases numbers had been reached for five consecutive days, culminating in a new high of 1,117 new cases over the two week period ending on Oct. 18.

That number is also more than double the case totals the county was consistently seeing in late August and early September, when the two-week new case totals tended to be in the upper 300s.

These latest two-week case number is alarming to Jeffco officials who say it puts the county on the verge of being downgraded to the “high risk” safer-at-home level 3 on the state’s COVID-19 dial, which could lead to the state imposing tighter restrictions for area businesses.

Jody Erwin, the deputy director of Jefferson County Public Health, expressed concern about the rise in case counts in a briefing he gave to

A graph showing new COVID-19 cases by the date they were reported to Jefferson County Public Health. the Jeffco commissioners on Oct. 13. It was the first time a member of JCPH had briefed the commission-

ers since the retirement of former JCPH Executive Director Mark B. Johnson earlier this month. Johnson has given bi-weekly briefings on the county’s COVID-19 status to the commissioners throughout the pandemic.

“When (Johnson) asked me to put this on my calendar about three weeks ago, I’d hope I would be able to come to you and congratulate us all for moving into protect-ourneighbor status,” said Erwin. “But clearly that’s not the case—our case trend has dramatically taken a turn for the worse.”

Erwin said Jeffco’s rise in new cases is consistent with rises being seen in counties throughout the state, and particularly in the Denver metro area. Hospitalizations also are increasing both in the county and throughout the metro area, although Erwin said those “increases are not nearly as bad as they were in April and May.” According to Erwin, data obtained by JCPH contact tracers suggests most of the cases can be attributed to three main activities: backyard gatherings, students returning to higher education and out-of-state travel. He also said the county has seen a particularly large jump in cases among those age 1824, although there have also been some new outbreaks in nursing facilities.

“My big concern right now is the holidays,” said Erwin. “It’d be incredibly frustrating to be downgraded to level three during the holidays, especially on our retailers and businesses, but also on our health care workers.”

Many health care workers had to work mandatory overtime shifts at the start of the pandemic and Erwin said it would be “unfortunate” to see them have to do that again.

County attorney Kym Sorrells said that now the county has seen 1,000 or more new cases in a two

week period, the county is at risk of being downgraded to safer-athome level 3. However, the state will first give the county a few weeks to bring its numbers back in line with those required to qualify for level 2 (1,000 or fewer cases in a two-week period).

However, if the county were unable to do so, it would lose its existing variance from certain health order rules and be subjected to the more stringent level three requirements for crowd size. That means that indoor events, which can currently have up to 100 people, would be limited to 25 while outdoor events that are now limited to 175 people would be to 100 people.

Certain businesses, such as gyms, would also be required to close their doors altogether until cases dropped while other businesses would see their capacity reduced from 50% to 25%.

“Businesses are hoping to open up more rather than continue to be limited to 50% capacity,” said Sorrells. “If they have to go down to 25% that’s really probably going to be a life or death analysis for some of these businesses and I don’t know how some of them are going to survive.”

To slow the spread of COVID-19 in Jeffco, Erwin said residents should recommit to mask wearing, social distancing, washing their hands and other established behaviors. He also said it is important for residents to get the flu vaccine as reducing the spread of flu could help to reduce pressure on hospitals.

“I think if anyone needs any motivation to help tamp down on those COVID-19 numbers, I think this will be it,” said Jeffco Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper of the possible consequences for businesses of the county dropping to level 3. “Especially when we think about how hard our community has worked to ensure those numbers stay low.”

also wants to remind Coloradans of some simple tips that can help them stay safe while enjoying open space parks. In his experience, taking easy precautions like making sure pets are leashed, keeping children close — preferably between adults when hiking and recreating in groups instead of alone, can make things safer for humans and animals alike.

“And don’t ride or run with both earbuds in,” Robbins said.

“Maintaining the ability to hear what’s going on around you is critical to outdoor recreation.”

McCarthy’s encounter is the most recent of several involving mountain lions in Colorado and other Western states. A viral video on the internet recently featured a close call between a run-

ner and a cougar in Utah, where the big cat repeatedly charged and hissed as the runner tried to back away from it for more than six minutes. And last year, a runner on a trail west of Fort Collins wrestled with an attacking mountain lion until he was eventually able to kill the animal.

Robbins said the most important thing to remember if you run into an aggressive mountain lion is to continue facing the animal.

“Don’t turn your back on it.

Don’t run away,” he said. “Running will trigger the cat’s instinct to chase.” For now, Robbins said they have added new signage at the Deer Creek Canyon Park trailhead warning of the mountain lion’s presence and have asked staff and volunteers to man the area when possible during peak times, to remind visitors to use extra caution. He also encourages anyone who has an abnormal or aggressive encounter with wildlife to call 911.

New signage has been placed at Red Mesa Trail in Deer Creek Canyon Park after a cyclist reported an encounter with a mountain lion on the evening of Oct. 9. Since the trail was reopened on Oct. 13, there have been no additional sightings of the big cat.

MyMove.com Reports a Spike in Moves During Covid-19, With 28% Citing Virus as the Reason MyMove.com is the online replacement of the change-of-address form you probably filled out at the post office the last time you moved. While the post office benefits from having the move process computerized, the website makes money by accepting advertising and earning a royalty on moving services which are purchased on the site.

Through their exclusive partnership with the USPS, MyMove also aggregates data from those online change of address forms.

Pew Research Center then surveys a sample of those movers to find out why they moved.

In prior columns I speculated about the out-migration from downtown Denver to Jefferson County and other suburbs by “urban cliff dwellers” (as my mother called them) fleeing their congested high rises to reduce their exposure to the virus. An October 12th article on MyMove.com confirmed that trend nationally, as reflected in the chart at right. The numbers are for net migration, subtracting the number of moves into each city from the number moving out of that city. Therefore, the number of moves out of each city is actually higher than the number shown in the chart.

The following is from last week’s MyMove article. The underlined text is for hyperlinks, which are clickable in my posting of this column on our blog, www.GoldenREblog.com.

A Pew Research Center study conducted in June looked at almost 10,000 U.S. adults to understand COVID moving trends better….

“About a quarter (28%) told us [they chose to move] because they feared getting COVID-19 if they stayed where they were living,” Cohn says. “About a fifth (20%) said they wanted to be with their family, or their college campus closed (23%). A total of 18% gave financial reasons, including job loss.”

Furthermore, roughly one in five of the survey participants responded that they packed up and left because of the pandemic — or know someone who was moving during COVID, shedding light on the increased moves during this time period.

In reading the chart, it should be noted that “New York, NY” is the postal address for Manhattan, not all five boroughs of New York City, which is why Brooklyn has its own number. Also, not shown is that the biggest destination of New York out-migration is Brooklyn, and vice versa. Since only 28% of movers cited the virus as their reason for moving, that fact does not diminish the impact Covid-19 played in this year’s moves.

The change-of-address forms ask whether the move is permanent or temporary, and although the number of permanent moves increased by about 2%

Denver Has Among the Lowest Foreclosure Rates

ATTOM Data Solutions, the nation’s most comprehensive aggregator of foreclosure data, reported last week that the number of foreclosure filings in the 3rd Quarter (July-September) of 2020 was down 12% from the 2nd Quarter and down 81% nationally from the same quarter a year ago. Denver was down 89% and Colorado was down 90%. Only three cities and four states recorded bigger year-over-year declines.

The combination of foreclosure moratoria and forbearance programs was a primary contributor to these drops, so the question on many people’s minds is whether we’ll see a flood of foreclosure

filings when these programs end sometime in the coming months.

In a press release, Rick Sharga of RealtyTrac, a related company, is quoted as follows: “We’ll certainly see more repossessions by lenders once the foreclosure moratoria have ended, but maybe not as many as people might expect. Given the record amount of homeowner equity – over $6.5 trillion – it seems likely that many homeowners in financial distress will opt to take advantage of strong demand among homebuyers and sell their property rather than risk losing it to a foreclosure auction.”

Cities with the most in-migration and out-migration 2/1/20 thru 7/31/20

year-over-year, the number of temporary moves increased by nearly 27%. Some of those moves were to second homes.

Others were students who left campuses which had switched to online learning.

Since an estimated 70% of workers were able to continue working from home, those people who had a place to relocate made the move quickly — likely to a place that was not subject to the lockdowns of their home city. The highest spike was in March, reducing slightly in April. As reflected in the above chart, small cities were the primary recipients of this in-migration, which supports

what I have already observed, that downtown Denver has a buyer’s market and the suburbs have a seller’s market.

Reflective of that, my most recent closing was of a tri-level home in Lakewood, which I listed at $520,000 and which sold immediately for $579,000. In Jeffco, 46% of the closings in the past 30 days sold for more than their listing price with median days on market of 5. Meanwhile 87% of the homes (mostly condos) sold in downtown Denver, Lodo and River North during the same 30-day period sold for less than their listing price, with median days on market of 24.

Just Listed: 3-Bedroom Brick Ranch in Arvada This 1963 brick ranch at 12082 W. 60th Place was listed this week by Jim Smith. It has been lovingly maintained, although not particularly updated, since the seller purchased it in 1973. The narrow oak hardwood flooring throughout the main floor has been covered most of that time by wall-to-wall carpeting, but $400,000 the carpet has been removed from the three bedrooms so buyers can see it. The full basement is mostly finished and includes the laundry room and a second bathroom, plus a full-width finished room. The name of the subdivision is Allendale, which is located east of Ward Road and south of 64th Avenue, making it super convenient to shopping as well as Interstate 70, while being an extra quiet neighborhood.

Help for polio survivors facing new challenges P Colorado Post-Polio Organization offers services, resources and traveling clinics across the state

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Polio.

The mere mention of the word can conjure images of stricken children, sometimes with painful metal braces on their limbs. Or perhaps it evokes a terrifying contraption called an iron lung, which allowed people with severe cases of polio to breathe. Maybe it makes you think of President Franklin D. Roosevelt who contracted the disease at the age of 39, but kept it well hidden from the public. Or, if you’re a member of the younger generations, it might not conjure up any image at all, because polio has largely been eradicated in this country, and most of the rest of the world, since the development of the Salk vaccine in 1955, and the Sabin vaccine in 1961.

If you meet a polio survivor today, it’s likely that they had a less severe, more manageable case of the disease and are probably pushing retirement age at a minimum.

By many accounts, polio survivors are a high-achieving group with many of doctors, lawyers and other professionals among their ranks. And they would routinely push through pain or difficulties and literally will themselves to excel at any activity they took part in.

Not exactly. Because as polio survivors have gotten older, many have discovered that this insidious disease can come back to haunt them in ways they might have never experienced, decades after they first contracted it. Post-Polio Syndrome, which according to Dr. Marny Eulberg, became recognized nationally in the 1980s, is the culprit. It can cause a weakening of the muscles, fatigue, joint pain, paralysis and in more rare cases, trouble with breathing or swallowing.

Eulberg knows first-hand the difficulties in dealing with, treating and even getting a proper diagnosis for PPS. Because beyond the many years of treating patients with the syndrome for free, and working with the Colorado Post-Polio Organization, a subsidiary of Easter Seals, she herself is a polio survivor, having contracted it as a child in rural South Dakota.

“I started having Post-Polio symptoms in the mid-1980s, and was having trouble getting good advice,” Eulberg said. “I decided that if I was having this much difficulty as a doctor, that the layperson would have even more.”

So she got involved in helping other polio survivors who were experiencing PPS symptoms, and has stayed involved to this day. Eulberg looks at dealing with PPS as an intellectual or SEE POLIO, P5

problem solving exercise, because no two patients are alike and each challenge is unique. She thinks it makes it easier for her patients to hear tough news, like the need for a brace, from her, because they know she understands what they’re going through, as a survivor herself. And she admires their undaunted spirit.

“As a whole, polio survivors are pretty unlikely to be whiners,” she said. “They’ve done amazing things with the limitations their bodies have.

One guy I treated, worked 25 years as a roofer with bad legs. Another woman was a semi-truck driver. She held a record for being able to chain-up her tires on Wolf Creek Pass faster than anyone else.”

Mitzi Tolman is the Program Coordinator for Colorado Post-Polio. She knows a thing or two about the disease as well. Her mother is a polio survivor.

She said her mom is a retired school teacher who wears two different sized shoes, but is still very active and isn’t having any PPS symptoms, so far, and for that, Tolman is grateful. Because she knows how devastating those symptoms can be for some of the people who get them.

“A lot of people can go from being fully-functioning adults, to being in a mobility chair all of the time and being unable to do things they did before,” she said. “And it can happen

‘A lot of people can go from being fully-functioning adults, to being in a mobility chair all of the time and being unable to do things they did before. And it can happen fast.’

Mitzi Tolman, Program Coordinator for Colorado Post-Polio fast.”

Those types of symptoms, and the relatively small amount of resources that have been available to polio survivors over the years are a few of the reasons that the Colorado Post-Polio Organization exists today. The group is sponsored by Easterseals Colorado, headquartered in Lakewood. Sue Brandon is the current Chairperson of the group, and like almost all of the group’s board members, a polio survivor herself, which to her, is only natural.

“I think when you have a personal connection, you want to be able to help people with education, resources and support groups,” Brandon said. “I have an opportunity to help people with things they might need, especially with Post-Polio.”

Brandon said she first got involved by simply offering to help, and before she knew it she was spending several

weeks organizing the group’s library.

That was 9 years ago, and she’s been helping out ever since. In addition to that library, the group’s offerings are impressive.

According to Tolman, they have seven support groups throughout the state that meet monthly — led by social workers or psychologists, they provide a quarterly newsletter, and they put on traveling clinics where Dr. Eulberg can see patients throughout Colorado. They also have a bi-annual retreat at the Easter Seals camp in Georgetown, featuring presenters that speak about the latest issues affecting PPS patients such as bracing, mobility aids, pain management and working through the Medicare and Medicaid systems.

“The camps also serve as a great way for people to get to know one another and not feel like they’re going through it all alone,” Tolman said.

Local Focus. More News.

The youngest polio survivor on the board, Robert Burnett might also be one of the younger polio survivors around. Having contracted the disease as a 2-year-old in Mexico, Burnett moved to the U.S. with his family at the age of 12. He admits to having a competitive streak, especially when it comes to playing soccer, which he’d done for most of his life. That started to change when he began developing symptoms a few years ago.

“I took a heavy fall when I was running,” Burnett said. “I’ve broken my leg three times. In the middle of playing I would just fall down.”

Burnett said a previous doctor had mentioned something about PPS back when he was in his 20s, but when the symptoms started to hit, he still didn’t know exactly what was going on. His search for answers led him to Colorado Post-Polio Organization and Dr. Eulberg. His interactions with her led him to get more involved with the organization, and ultimately to join the board. Burnett said he’s trying to learn as much from his time working with them as he can because he realizes that as a younger polio survivor, the task might fall to him in the future to keep their mission alive.

That realization is important because polio numbers, which have been on the global decline for decades are inching back up. Large increases in reported cases, driven mostly by outbreaks in Afghanistan and Pakistan are making it more likely that Post-Polio services and resources will continue to be in demand in the future.

Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You?

by Matt Witt

N

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

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

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

To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity.

Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not.

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

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

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT

how COVID-19 is impacting Golden COVID-19 is leading the city to take a more conservative approach

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“This has been a really strange year when it comes to so many things.”

That’s how Golden city manager Jason Slowinski began a briefing of the city about the proposed 2020 budget for Golden.

Slowinski said city staff took a conservative approach in crafting the proposed budget, which totals about $3 million less than the 2020 budget, in hopes that it will provide the city with financial stability that positions it to take advantages of opportunities that will come from the end of the pandemic.

But the pandemic isn’t over yet and the budget process offers a window into both how the pandemic has already impacted the city and will continue to do so. Here are five things to know.

Sales tax is down, but not as bad as it could be The city is currently anticipating sales tax will be down around $465,400 for the year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The city is also projecting that sales revenue will again be down in 2021 as the recovery continues and is budgeting for 11.15 million in sales tax revenue in 2022, which is down from the $11.47 million generated in 2019.

However, the anticipated decrease is actually in line with what the city expected after it ran a detailed analysis to determine how the pandemic might impact the 50 largest sales tax generators in Golden and projected that sales tax might be down about six percent for the year.

No raises this year As the pandemic continues to create financial uncertainty, Slowinski said it is not financially prudent to extend pay increases to city workers this year, a practice he said is consistent with the city’s decision not to offer pay increases during the 2008-2009 recession. However, he said if the city’s revenues appear to be improving better than expected by the midpoint of next year, he will likely recommend a one-time bonus in honor of their work during the pandemic.

“They deserve it, they really do,” he said to the council.

More city support Each year, the city transfers funds to its funds for the Golden Community Center, Golden Museum and SPLASH Park, which do not currently generate enough revenue to sustain themselves on their own.

However, the revenues for all three operations were further impacted by closures, capacity limits and reduced visitation as a result of COVID-19. As a result, the city’s transfers to the community center have had to increase by $700,000 and $30,000 more each to SPLASH and the museum. The total city support for these offerings for 2020 will be $1.69 million.

Slowinski said that while those transfer amounts are expected to decrease next year, there has been a general trend toward increases as a result of state mandated minimum wage increases.

He suggested that the council needs to think about how much it wants to continue financially supporting these amenities and said one way the city is thinking about addressing the issue is to hire a marketing coordinator to market them to residents from beyond Golden in hopes of increasing their revenue.

Spending down for 2021 The city is budgeting for total revenues of $29,938,108, nearly $1 million less than it budgeted for in 2020. Similarly, overall spending in the general fund is budgeted at $30,883,339—down nearly $1.8 million from 2020 projected year-end numbers. As a result, the recommended 2021 Operating Budget anticipates a 25.8% fund balance at the conclusion of 2021—well above the City’s established fund balance policy.

Molholm teacher lands funding for projects large and small From tissues to textbooks, she’s got a plan for that

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Between COVID-19, a cratering economy and another rough start for the Broncos, it can be difficult to find a lot of things to be thankful for these days. But for Monica Mendez it’s not difficult at all. Because even in this most difficult of years, she’s been reminded of the generosity of strangers and the goodwill of companies and organizations that reach out to help a good cause.

Mendez is a Reading Specialist at Molholm Elementary in Lakewood, who teaches children in first through fourth grade that are struggling with reading. This month, she was awarded $600 in funding from Sonic Corp., through the Limeades for Learning program, in coordination with an organization called Donors Choose.

Started in 2000 by a history teacher named Charles Best in the Bronx, New York, Donors Choose is a way to connect those who might want to donate to schools, to specific school projects that needed funding. Today, the program is open to every public school in America.

Mendez, who was familiar with the program, saw a great need at Molholm when she began teaching there, and sprung into action. Since then, she’s been registering the maximum, 10 projects at a time on the Donors Choose website, not just for her room, but for other teachers at the school as well. To take advantage of the program, teachers can upload projects with specific goals, and when donors go to the site they are able to look at the projects that need funding and give to whichever one they want to help out.

“If you have 10 projects listed at a time, it’s better odds of getting one funded,” Mendez said. “So as soon as a project funds and I can put another one up, I do.”

Reading Specialist Monica Mendez shows off a pair of new headphones purchased through funding from the Donors Choose program for Molholm Elementary School in Lakewood. The project funding provided a pair of headphones for each student at Molholm.

LIMEADES FOR LEARNING

Reading Specialist Monica Mendez sits beside new teaching materials she’s been able to purchase for her Molholm Elementary classroom, using funds raised through an online program called Donors Choose.

PHOTOS BY BOB WOOLEY And since Molholm is listed as a Title 1 school, the need is genuine. Schools with a high percentage of students from low-income families are eligible for increased levels of funding through federal government. Of these, schools with a 40 percent or higher poverty level in the student body qualify for school-wide Title 1 assistance. Molholm is one of those schools. But even with the additional funding, it can be difficult to meet the pressing needs of a modern classroom.

Since she started listing projects, Mendez has been successful in getting several funded. She’s been able to get everything from basic necessities in the classroom like boxes of tissue and snacks, to valuable educational resources to help her students learn to read. She was even able to get each student in the school a new set of headphones,

crucial for at-home learners during COVID-19, and equally valuable to students attending school in-person. One of her proudest achievements in helping to get projects funded can be seen when you walk into the school’s gym.

“When I first saw the equipment, the balls were flat and the mats were ripped so I helped the P.E. teacher run her Donors Choose,” Mendez said. “If you walk into the gym now, we have so much new equipment — thousands and thousands of dollars in new equipment.”

Current P.E. teacher Amber Jones is thankful and a bit in awe of what Mendez has been able to accomplish.

“I’ve taught at four different schools in the last 10 years and this school is the most well-stocked for P.E. It’s a little bit like P.E. heaven in here,” Jones said. “The equipment is incredible and most of it is in

great shape. When I go to my other schools the equipment is older and broken and severely used.”

Jones said that without Donors Choose, she can’t even imagine what the equipment would look like. She said she also feels incredibly lucky to be able to provide the kids at Molholm such a solid P.E. experience.

The ability to empathize with people seems to come naturally to Mendez, and as she speaks of the kinship she feels for her students, her eyes reveal the smile being covered by her COVID-19 mask. Growing up in modest circumstances in Fort Morgan, Mendez said her parents both worked in a meatpacking plant when she was born, and she learned about hard work and helping others from a young age.

“My parents were union members who were constantly fighting for benefits and things

like health care,” Mendez said. “They always taught me to help my community, but I never thought it would be through education.”

That changed when she started working as a migrant teachers assistant after graduating with a degree in Sociology and Ethnic Studies from CU Boulder. From there, she started teaching at a charter school which she said was a great next step and really prepared her for the challenges of public school teaching. Mendez said her life experience has helped her approach problems like narrowing the gap between kids who excel at reading and kids that don’t, and reducing the gap in resources between schools in wealthier neighborhoods and a scrappy, proud, Lakewood elementary school.

“What she’s done is incredible,” Jones said. “She’s like Santa Claus.

All the flavors to entice kids.

All the nicotine to keep them hooked.

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

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

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

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

THE GROUPS Golden Anti-Racism Collective To learn more and join the mailing list, visit www.goldenantiracismcollective.org/.

FROM PAGE 1

In Lakewood, there is an ongoing effort to get the city council to put back up signs proclaiming that “Lakewood is building an inclusive community.”

In Golden, the new Golden Anti-Racism Collective group lists three main avenues to make the change the group wants to see in the community.

Those avenues include outreach through “curating educational events, and providing resources and information in support of being an antiracist community,” promoting change in policy and policing by encourage the city to review its current policies and enact new ones so to address systematic racism and injustice within the community and promoting anti-racist curriculum, policies and studentdiscussion within schools.

While the work ahead is daunting, GAC member Ty Scrable said he feels the small size of a community like

“The whole city of Golden can fit inside the Pepsi Center,” he said. “And I think that really matters for making change in a community.”

What next?

While much of the work of each group is focused on addressing city-specific issues, the groups — including similar organizations in Arvada and Evergreen — are also hoping to bring about change countywide by working with the county commissioners and other county groups.

For many of the groups,

making change also means engaging with Jeffco’s history of racism, which include a history of KKK activity in and around Golden as well as discriminatory housing policies.

Richards said she has heard from several Wheat Ridge residents who say the original deed of their property includes language stating that blacks cannot own or, in one case, even be within 25 feet of the home.

“I want to normalize us talking about that and acknowledging that because here in Wheat Ridge we are 50 years old, and so it might be easy to say that wasn’t us because we

Many of the concerns stemmed from whether the city needed to allow as many events to close downtown streets as it currently does. In 2019, the city provided permits for nine events that closed Washington Avenue, including five with closures lasting more than four hours.

She also said that the n city could benefit from limiting events s in the summer and downtown in order C to encourage events to be held in other c locations and in months when the city a y sees less tourist traffic. p At the end of the discussion, the i council expressed support for having city staff to make changes to the policy that included Weinberg’s ideas, like spreading both the dates and locations of events out more, and possibly limiting the total number of allowed events.

Deputy City Manager Carly Lorentz said city staff will bring a proposal for changes to the policy to the council at an upcoming meeting.

were unincorporated,” said Richards. “And yet at the time that incorporation happened one of the variables for the people that did that is that they very much did not want black kids bussed into Wheat Ridge.”

As time goes on, one common element between all these groups seems to be that their members are increasingly thinking about how best to be a force for both short- and long-term change.

“What we’ve actually done is we stopped protesting in the streets and asked for folks to focus their energy on the ballot box,” said Shariff Belkin.

“With respect to Washington Avenue, my personal feeling is the only time we should only be closing it down is if we as a city have partnered with the event,” said councilman Rob Reed.

“Buffalo Bill Days, Candlelight Walk, those are all things that are part of the heart and soul of our city and its important to close down for, but the truly commercial ones don’t seem like a reason to close down Washington Avenue unless the merchants down their think it drives business to them.

Another nexus of agreement seemed to be the council’s feeling that the city has been too tentative to decline to allow certain events to be held again after they have proven to not fit with the city and its goals for events.

“I would definitely like to be able to say no sometimes and I think that is appropriate,” Brown said. “And I also think its appropriate to say `you had a chance and we are not interested in having you back and I would love for the policy to be able to get us there somehow.’”

Brown suggested possible ways to manage that would be for the city to recommit to having a citizen committee review events and whether they are a fit with the city’s goals.

One annual event that was repeatedly called out was the MOPAR Block Party, held in conjunction with the Dodge Mile Hi Nationals racing event

Fall colors still impress on these easy in-town hikes Three close-in nature walks let you avoid the traffic and peep the leaves.

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Even though the leaves are falling fast, it’s not too late to see some beautiful fall colors on an easy, close-in hike.

But you’d better hurry. If you want to get away from it all for an hour or so, without really leaving the metro area, look no further. We scouted three trails that might scratch your seasonal itch without spending hours on the road to get there and back.

Waterton Canyon Waterton Canyon still has plenty of autumn vibes to take in as you wind your way around the hiking path.

Aside from the foliage, there are birds and ducks, and you may even see a bighorn sheep if you make it far enough up the trail. It’s a nature walk that may just make you forget how close to civilization you really are. Waterton is easy to find from C-470 or Wadsworth Blvd., and there’s usually plenty of parking to be had, not to mention, a restroom if nature happens to call.

More information is available at www.denverwater.org/recreation/ waterton-canyon-strontia-springsresevoir

Vibrant shades of autumn can still be found while walking the South Platte Park trail in Littleton, one of three easy in-town hikes for the whole family.

Clear Creek Trail If you’re looking to add some peoplewatching to your leaf-peeping head west to Golden and the Clear Creek Trail. This easy to find spot has all of the bases covered with plenty of parking on the street, or in convenient lots adjacent to the trail. To get there, simply find your way to Golden and head to the intersection of Washington avenue and 10th street. The tree-lined trail starts just behind the Golden Visitor’s Center, and runs parallel along the creek. There are lots of places to sit and take it all in if you need a rest, and you can even bring along your fishing pole if you’re feeling lucky. This hike is easy to do with small children and

South Platte Park The final spot on our list is South Platte Park. Just a stone’s throw from Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue in Littleton, you can take in some gorgeous views of the foothills to the west, as you stroll through thickets of colorful aspen trees and listen to the stress-reducing sound of water gliding down a sleepy stretch of the South Platte river. There are small footpaths branching off from the main trail if you want to wander, and lots of great vantage points for the aspiring photographer. Parking is free and easy, and can be found just to the north of the park-and-ride lots that sit on the southwest corner of the Aspen Grove shopping center.

VOICES

This election season doesn’t have to end badly ALCHEMY

Andrea Doray

I

’ve seen this movie before … although how this version ends is anyone’s guess.

Unfortunately, however, most of those guesses include the fear, threat or promise of violence.

The first time I saw this movie, I was in Nepal, when our long-planned Himalayan trek happened to coincide with the country’s national constituent assembly election, only the second since the end of a violent civil war in 2006 that claimed more than 13,000 lives.

We arrived in Kathmandu a few days before

the November 19, 2013, election. We saw partisans with loudspeakers in open-backed trucks careening though narrow streets. We saw heavily armed military – the government had deployed two-thirds of the army to thwart opposition parties intimidating people registering to vote.

These groups also intimidated the country into a general strike that shut down private and public transportation. Already, protesters boycotting the election had torched vehicles defying the strike. A candidate had been shot

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Remove small biz burden Property taxes provide the funding of our essential services such as our schools, fire departments, parks and recreation, libraries, and other services we need. But we have an amendment in our constitution which is draining the funding of these services. It is called the “Gallagher Amendment.”

Amendment B removes Gallagher from the constitution with a “yes” vote. Since it was established in 1982, Gallagher has created a system that is now so unfair that it is increasing the tax burden on all our small businesses. At a time when so many businesses are fighting to stay in business and provide our jobs, they will also be saddled with property tax bills five times that of homeowners if Gallagher is allowed to remain in place.

Add up all the property value in Colorado and 80 percent comes from residential property but Gallagher forces the 20 percent, business, to pay the majority of property taxes. This disparity also forces our essential services into a constant cycle of budget cuts. That does not make sense for our economy.

Amendment B repeals the Gallagher Amendment’s failed formula from our state constitution and freezes our current property tax rate in place. These rates would not be able to increase without a vote. This change will stabilize the budgets for our essential services and prevents an additional shift in the property tax burden to small businesses and farmers.

Please join me in voting yes on Amendment B. Norma Anderson, Lakewood Name those responsible Your recent headline “Elevated Jeffco COVID-19 case numbers keeping restrictions in place” is inaccurate.

It should read something like this “Because of elevated COVID-19 case numbers Jeffco county officials are keeping restrictions in place.”

We need to know who is responsible for taking our freedoms away.

Kelly Sheehan, Arvada

Maintain routine health care The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted healthcare community in so many ways, including—straining our doctors and hospitals, infecting defenseless patients, and upending traditional care.

Working with radiologists, I have seen major shifts in patients’ attitudes toward visiting medical professionals for non-emergency care. And while many are holding off on visiting their doctors out of concern for the virus, it’s more important than ever that patients are maintaining their routine of preventative care to stay healthy. Fortunately, our health care facilities and doctors remain ready and equipped to treat patients no matter their condition or concern.

Despite extraordinary challenges and increased demands for medical care, our healthcare distributors have kept our medical system afloat. These logistics experts are working on overdrive to help ensure they are getting available medications and supplies to the facilities that need them most.

These efforts have helped our medical facilities and hospitals to both fend off the virus and treat patients suffering from cancer, cardiovascular issues, emergencies, and more.

Dani Siefring, Lakewood What has the two-party system gotten us?

Our country is $27 trillion in debt.

Yet that isn’t the worst of it. Just think — what do we have for all that debt? Have we solved the health care financial problems? NO. Did we bring lasting peace to the Middle East? NO. Have we implemented a solution to the climate change concern? NO. Have we even modestly improved the education system for our children? NO. Do we have COVID19 on the run? NO. Have we solved the overwhelming addiction to legal and illegal drugs? NO. Can we even implement a method to contain and control futures wildfires in the Western U.S.? NO. Ask Republicans and Democrats how that $25 trillion was spent. Ask them also what they will do when the debt hits the fan. As for me, I’m voting Libertarian until the debt is paid off.

dead, and the wife of another had acid poured on her face.

On the day of the election – and our trek departure date – the government ultimately decided it could adequately protect us if all tour buses traveled as one entourage. We crawled westward in a caravan from Kathmandu, stopping often at road blocks to verify our tourist status. Military with machine guns patrolled the road.

Talking about the core of this acrimony

A

couple walks into the marriage counselor’s office and sits down.

“Doc, I don’t know what to do any more,” the wife starts in. “I’m miserable.”

HITTING “I’m miserable, too, Doc,” the husHOME band counters. “All we do is fight.”

“Okay,” the counselor answers, in a calm, even tone.

“What do you fight about?”

“He’s insanely neat, practically O.C.D.” “She’s kind of a Michael Alcorn slob.”

“He watches too many sports.”

“She’s always watching sappy love stories.”

“He wears green with khaki.”

“She always blowing the punchline of jokes.”

“Okay, okay, okay…” the counselor interrupts. “I get it — you’re two different people and it’s starting to get annoying.”

“Yeah,” they answer, in unison.

“Were you always this way?”

He nods. “For the most part, yeah.”

“Why did it used to work?”

“Well, we’d, ya know, sit down and put our cards on the table (she’s terrible at gin rummy, by the way) and decide what we could live without and find common ground on the rest.”

“So, what changed?”

“Well, a little while ago,” she starts in, thoughtfully. “He was so preoccupied with work that I just started making all the decisions.”

“Did that seem right to you?”

“Well, sure. He was busy, and never really noticed, and then, ya know, I start seeing how screwed up he is, with being a Raider fan and stuff, and I just decided he couldn’t really be trusted.”

“Uh-huh. How’s that working out?”

“Great, for a while. I was as happy as I’d ever been.”

“And then what,” the counselor prompted, nodding sympathetically.

“Then, all the sudden, like, he decides he wants to start making decisions again. And he tells his friends how terrible I am.”

Counselor turns to husband.

“It’s true. I needed some backup if I was ever going to make sense of this and see how my friends thought.”

“That’s not very respectful of your wife.”

“Well, how respectful is it of her to just take all the decisions away, and then tell her friends how bad I am at making decisions.”

“Okay.” Counselor quiets the room and allows everybody to breathe for a few seconds. “Honestly, the two of you, how many decisions do you really think you’d make the same, if left alone to do it?”

They think for a moment. “I don’t know,” he mutters.

“Maybe 80 percent,” she finishes.

“Well, that’s a lot,” the counselor concludes. “Is the 20% really important enough to divide you, to cause you to break apart?”

And this is where the crux of the matter lies for our country.

Couples can survive a lot of stuff if they remain loyal to each other and to what they’ve built together.

There is history, and struggle and nobility in getting through the challenges of life — loyalty to that is critical. Because, let’s face it, people aren’t easy to live with, especially over extended periods of time.

And couples can learn to live with those differences. But if those differences are about core beliefs, it becomes a much greater challenge.

Graywater a go for Golden

W

ith so much in the news these days, it can be easy to overlook a great treasure we have in Golden and Colorado – GUEST our water. Local communities, COLUMN especially here Jim Dale in Colorado, are striving to protect their precious water resources. Golden is blessed with wonderful water and a solid, sustainable water supply. Sound water conservation is a key pillar of our Sustainability Program.

Earlier this month, Golden City Council took yet another step to further a water conservation ethos in our city and with our residents.

By unanimously passing Ordinance Number 2143, Golden has become just the fourth Colorado community to implement a graywater program so residents can efficiently reuse some of the water used in their homes. We didn’t just want to get a graywater ordinance on the books, we wanted to make sure the ordinance was clear, straightforward, and encouraged graywater implementation for many years to come. We wanted to empower our residents to apply for and install their own graywater systems.

Graywater may be unfamiliar to many, but it is something I, Council Member Dale, have been thinking about for decades. Twenty-two years ago when I became the Director of Environmental Health for Jefferson County Public Health, my colleagues and I were excited to talk about the possibility of graywater use here in Colorado.

Unfortunately, back then, graywater use in homes was illegal under Colorado law. Luckily, the Colorado General Assembly passed legislation in 2013 that led to the creation of regulations in 2015 that specifically allowed graywater use here in Colorado. The only caveat was that local jurisdictions needed to adopt their own ordinance that follows those state regulations.

Golden has done just that and City residents are now able to apply for their very own graywater permit to install a “laundry-to-landscape” (L2L) system which will take the graywater from their washing machines and pipe it to shrubs, bushes, trees, and other non-edible landscapes on their property.

For more information on the new graywater program see: www.cityofgolden. net/live/sustainability-initiative/waterconservation/graywater-reuse/ For those of us with our existing homes, a L2L is easy and reasonable, cost-wise to install.

The system must be approved

by Golden’s Building Department but with a couple hundred bucks, a homeowner can install the system over a weekend! During the summer months, one can get approval and simply add an approved diversion valve to your washing machine so the outflow goes to the yard, replacing some of the water normally used from your sprinklers or hose. At the end of the season, switch the ball valve back and your washing machine will divert water into the sewer system like normal. A simple, yet effective way for Golden residents to be more connected with their water!

As City Councilmembers, we were thrilled to pass this ordinance, but we also must acknowledge the year long process behind the scenes that led to its passing.

Last year, our Sustainability Division applied for and was accepted into a program that offered probono support to develop and implement this graywater ordinance.

The folks providing this assistance (WaterNow Alliance and Western Resource Advocates) were able to research best practices, solicit feedback from the public, provide recommendations, and ultimately help us develop an ordinance that would be straight forward and simple enough that residents would take advantage of the program. Indeed, as of the passing of the ordinance on Sept. 10, we have already had 45 Golden homeowners express interest in participating. That’s a level of interest other Colorado communities with graywater ordinances have yet to see!

We are so proud of our great staff here in Golden for pursuing these efforts and getting this graywater ordinance on the books as another tool in our water conservation toolbox. We cannot wait to see our neighbors start to take advantage of this great program.

OBITUARIES FIELDS

Adam Fields

Adam Richard Fields, 36, died Wednesday, October 7, 2020, at Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, after an extended illness.

He was a sweet, loving, kind spirited soul in his resilience. Adam loved his family. He was a talented employee for his father’s construction company and helped his mom with hers. He freely helped on the family farm with eagerness. Some of his happiest times were riding the chops with his Pops and spending time with his amazing son, Avery.

He gave most of his belongings and money to the less fortunate. Long conversations and heart to heart talks kept him abound. He loved a variety of music, from Chris LeDoux, Sublime, Lost Dog Street Band to Tool. He was extremely talented with his artwork, so much so, that his friends felt they inherited a Rembrandt by obtaining his art.

Quotes Adam would say, “Everything happens for a reason whether we like it or not.” “Life is way too short when you’re happy and way too long when you’re in pain.” “You may be able to turn your back and run from others, but you will always have to deal with yourself no matter where you hide.” “I just want everyone to be happy.” And,

“Don’t take life too seriously, it’s not like you’re going to get out alive.”

He is free now to be who he is truly meant to be. Adam, may you fly through the universe with amazement and astonishment to be bewildered by all things you experience. Your family misses and loves you dearly.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents; Helen and Bill Fields, Jimmy Combs; great grandparents, Rovella Redwine Aucoin, Herbert Redwine, Eugene and Edith Daughtery; great-great grandmother, Sophia Mae Wood; aunt, Suzzette Redwine Counts; uncles, John Redwine and Michael Combs; cousin and best friend, Jon Redwine Robinson; and cousin, Ronnie Lee Redwine Wampler.

Adam leaves behind his son, Avery Roland Fields; parents, Darryl and Lisa Redwine Combs, Rick and Patti Fields; grandparents, Scott and Hilda Redwine; great grandparent, Freida Combs; sisters, Megan Stemple, Allissa Sophia Redwine, Alivia Rovella Redwine, Tiffany Pfeiffer; brothers, Elliot Combs, John and Nick Lowe; aunts, Traci and Sharon Combs and Rhonda Snodgrass; nephew, August Redwine; nieces, Chloe Combs Jones, Ariana Marie Stemple; special cousins Crystal Agosto and Jennifer Reher; and special friend, Kaila McGee.

Keeping Halloween happy

I

Molly Brown museum brings gothic horror to life

F

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

“We want to focus on doing as many activities outdoors as possible,” said France. “Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, we know how to do these things in the safe way.

Haunted houses might need to be transformed into haunted forests or other outdoor events as possible.”

Those organizing such events should also utilize strategies to implement one directional flow of participants and encourage mask

or my money, gothic horror — which blends elements of romance, emotion and terror together — is the most subtle and rewarding kind of scary story.

Over the years, authors like Edgar Allen Poe, Mary Shelley and Shirley COMING have all ATTRACTIONS Jackson turned in masterpieces in the genre, and these are the kinds of stories Victorian Horrors brings to life at the Molly Brown House Museum.

And while COVID-19 has changed how the 27th annual Clarke Reader event will look, it isn’t stopping actors and storytellers from bringing the best examples of the form to life at the museum. And audience’s homes.

“We’re not trying to create a haunted house experience. It’s about great stories that we combine with wonderful actors and turn into performance art that people get to experience in this great house,” said Andrea Malcomb, Molly Brown House Museum director. “We know that two things make the event successful - being in this fantastic house, and our amazing actors.”

This year’s Victorian Horrors at the museum, 1340 Pennsylvania St. in Denver, will be offered from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 23 and 29, and Saturday, Oct. 24 and 30. There are two options for guests: they can visit the museum and take an audio tour inspired by creepy radio broadcasts of the past and see a livestreamed transmission from an actor. When they get home, they will have access to six actor-performed stories filmed at the museum. Or guests can just purchase the six films to watch at home. Advance ticket purchase is required for the in-person option, and masks must always be worn while at the museum.

Stories this year include “The invisible Man,” “Frankenstein” and “La Llorona” - a traditional Spanish tale that will be presented in both Spanish and English.

“Performers are so grateful that the Molly Brown museum was on board with trying something different to keep this event going,” said Julie Payne, an actor who has been a part of the performances since its inception. “Everybody who performed last year was able to come on board and was willing and excited to try doing it this way. It was really fun to go in there and make the videos.”

Those who decide to visit the museum will be treated to an atmosphere that is authentically eerie, thanks to a partnership with Denver

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

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Herlihy said her own 9-year-old daughter will be participating in such a celebration with parents heading to a local park to hide

candy for their kids to find.

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

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

STAYING SAFE

wearing, he said.

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

The owners of the 13th Floor declined to be interviewed for this story and instead directed Colorado Community Media to their Scary Safe webpage, which details precautions ranging from limited attendance to requiring payments be made with credit cards.

“The nature of a haunted house is all about physical distancing; it always has been, it’s what we do normally,” reads a statement on the website. “The attractions are linear and very seldom would you ever come within 6 feet of other patrons. We do everything we can to make you feel ‘alone.’

But this year, we’re going above and beyond our normally safe and distanced methods of operation, and taking it to the next level.”

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

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

For example, those who live in communities rated as “high risk” should consider activities like a costume parade with predetermined routes to ensure safe distancing is

oddity dealers The Learned Lemur and Atomic Folk Art. The result is a candle-lit house featuring all manner of creepy decoration and touches that will absolutely add to its mystique.

“We’ve decorated the house to go with audio experience and support the stories we’re telling at the same time,” Malcomb said. “We also like people to understand the origins of Halloween, so the decorations they see make sense.”

Whichever way people decide to experience the horrors, it will be steeped in top-notch seasonal ambiance. And they’ll have the opportunity to see some of the metro-area’s best actors do work designed to heighten that unsettled feeling.

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

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

“It’s one of most unique and rewarding performance experiences an actor can have,” Payne said. “It’s much different than being on the stage - it’s environmental theatre.”

Miners Alley hosts Virtual Variety Fundraiser Golden’s Miners Alley Playhouse is presenting Live from Miners Alley Playhouse: A Virtual Variety Fundraiser at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 30.

Hosted by Len Matheo, executive and artistic director, and Lisa DeCaro, board president, the event will feature live and recorded entertainment from previous performances like “Once” and “Cabaret.” Viewers can also expect guest appearances from Broadway to Hollywood, improv comedy from Scriptprov and an online auction. Plus, there will be specially-

Here are some other general guidelines and tips for Halloween safety compiled from information released by CDPHE, the CDC and Jefferson County Public Health.

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

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

• Greet trick-or-treaters from at least 6 feet away. Use tape to mark 6-foot spots for families to stand in while picking up their candy • Only use pre-packaged candy Parties • Wear masks at all times when within 6 feet of people who do not live in your household • Consider a small and short outdoor gathering — there is a higher risk for transmission with more people and a longer event • Avoid self-serve table spreads • Keep a list of guests so they can be quickly informed in the event of COVID-19 positives Costumes • Costume masks are not a substitute for masks that protect against COVID-19 spread. Masks that protect against COVID-19 should be made from two or more breathable fabric layers that cover the nose and mouth, with no gaps around the face. Wear non-costume masks when indoors with non-household contacts and outdoors whenever 6 feet of distance cannot be maintained.

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

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

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

Halloween is tricky this year so treat yourself

or years now I have been doing the old guy’s dissertation about how Halloween isn’t what it used to be. You know, the “back when I was a kid” thing.

But, truthfully, that’s kind of silly.

Nothing is ever just like any of us remember and everything evolves into something new. I haven’t had hundreds of kids running the street in front of my house with the doorbell ringing non stop for decades. For at least the last 20 years, I’m lucky if it rings more than half a dozen times. Part of that is we don’t have a lot of kids in my neighborhood anymore but the other part is that there are a lot of other fun events going on that just INANCIAL 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

didn’t exist back when I was a kid.

The good news for Trick-or-treaters that do drop by is that with so few of them, I can afford to buy better candy to hand out.

This year, I have no idea what to expect. While I haven’t heard anyJohn Akal thing about advising people specifically not to go Trick-or-treating, I have seen plenty of advice about wearing protective masks as part of your costume, carrying hand sanitizer, keeping 6 ft. apart and the usual things about not going into stranger’s houses and throwing away unwrapped or obviously opened candy. All I can say is use your best judgment and just be careful if you do plan on going out and about this year.

So, here’s a few ideas that you can do during this year’s pandemic altered state. If you are an adult, dress up in your favorite costume, get in your car and drive to a local official ballot box and vote! I’m seeing things on the news all over the country about people in certain areas waiting up to four hours in a line for early voting in person.

There’s also all kinds of confusion and fear about mail-in ballots and whether or not they can count if postmarked by the deadline or whether they have to arrive by that time and so on. Here in Colorado,

AVENUE FLASHES

In Thelynettea@milehighnews.com Gateway Station Building

if you’re already a registered voter, there is a really easy way to avoid all that hassle and not have to be an expert on election laws or the workings of the post office. We all got ballots in the mail. If you haven’t done so already, just fill yours out and take it in person to one of our official ballot boxes. My wife and I did that the day after our ballots came. Now we don’t have to worry about whether our votes arrived and will be counted and it was just as fast and easy as dropping them off at a mailbox.

We have four 24 hour drop boxes right here in Golden, so you actually could vote at midnight on Halloween if you that tickles your fancy. Or, vote any other time between now and 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3. There’s one at 1400 Illinois Street on the Colorado School of Mines campus, another one at Golden City Hall, 911 10th Street, a third one at the Jeffco Elections Division, 3500 Illinois Street and a really big, fancy drive up box on the Northeast side of the Jeffco Courts and Admin building, better known as the Taj Mahal, located at 100 Jefferson County Parkway.

Aside from that, here’s a few more good Halloween ideas I found in my search for safe, fun things you can do. One of the best ideas I came across was sort of like combining Halloween with an Easter egg hunt. Decorate your back yard in a spooky manner and hide little bundles of candy in the trees, bushes or behind the gravestones.

Then let the kids loose looking for

them. You could even turn it into a treasure hunting game with clues and making a map of some kind.

If you take this basic idea and use some imagination, you can come up with lots of ideas for this theme. Even adults can put together some kind of variation on this concept. Turn your swinging bachelor pad into a haunted house or something. Hide bottles of beer or those little booze bottles. But, keep the groups small, wear masks and don’t create your own COVID horror story, OK? Another great idea was to host your own virtual costume contest.

Use your favorite social media page and have all of your friends dress up and post pictures of themselves in costume. Then have everyone vote for their favorite at a certain time. Give out virtual trophies or medals or whatever else you can give away on the Internet. You could do something like a virtual pumpkin carving contest or trivia game too. Now might be a good time to figure out how to do that multi screen Skype thing with several people.

Whatever you do this year, make it safe, fun and memorable — something good to remember for 2020.

Chatfield survives scare against Wheat Ridge in 4A Jeffco opener

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — One big offensive pass play and a defensive stop on the final play of the game Saturday afternoon allowed Chatfield to grab its first win of the season.

“It came down to that last play on the goal-line,” Chatfield coach Bret McGatlin said after the Chargers (1-1, 1-0 in 4A Jeffco League) hung on for a 10-3 victory over Wheat Ridge on Oct. 17. “I credit our kids for not giving up.”

Wheat Ridge (0-2, 0-1) looked poised to score the game-tying touchdown in the final seconds. The Farmers drove from Chatfield’s 40-yard line in less than two minutes. Quarterback Dom Cross guided the Farmers down to the 2-yard line, but his pass intended for senior Sam McDonough on a playaction roll out fell incomplete as time expired.

“It’s a young team and if you can find ways to win it’s all we can ask for right now,” McGatlin said. “Wheat Ridge never gave up. They have a lot of guys who play both ways. That is a tough group.”

The Farmers took a 3-0 lead in the first quarter with a 37-yard field goal by sophomore Francisco Munoz. It would be the lone points Wheat Ridge would score.

Chatfield tied it up 3-3 with a field goal by junior Andre Haddad midway through the second quarter.

The offensive play of the game came just before halftime. Chatfield senior quarterback Ethan Delfino hooked up with sophomore Mason Lowe for a 57-yard touchdown with 3:53 left in the second quarter to give the Chargers a 10-3 lead.

“I was getting bracketed with triple coverage,” Lowe said of his 57-yard touchdown catch. “I saw the pass come over the middle. I tipped it with my left hand to myself and just took off from

McGatlin wasn’t even sure if he would have the explosive sophomore on the field Saturday after Lowe suffered a minor leg injury during the week.

“He (Lowe) is a special kid. We are going to have to ride him a little bit,” McGatlin said of Lowe playing some tailback and receiver on offense.

“Ultimately we want to be a team that doesn’t have to rely on him so much.”

Lowe’s touchdown would be the final score of the game that featured several punts and marred by a bushel of penalty flags on both teams that stalled any offensive momentum for the Chargers or Farmers.

“That was crazy,” Lowe said of the scoreless second half. “I didn’t think my touchdown would be the difference in the game. It was a great team win.

We needed it.”

Chatfield is back at Jeffco Stadium

next Saturday, Oct. 24, to face Bear Creek (0-2, 0-1). Dakota Ridge (2-0, 1-0) and Standley Lake (2-0, 1-0) are the two undefeated team left in 4A Jeffco through Week 2. The No. 2 ranked Eagles have been impressive outscoring their first two opponents 113-26.

The Chargers are scheduled to face rival Dakota Ridge on the final week of the regular season on Nov. 13.

Columbine rumbles past Arvada West in home opener

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Columbine junior Wes Jones is the Rebels’ latest multiple dimensional player.

The junior had a rushing touchdown, receiving touchdown and interception on defense — not to mention handling some of the kicking duties — Friday, Oct. 16, at Jeffco Stadium.

“I’m just going to do whatever I can because we are kind of short on seniors this year,” Jones said after carrying a heavy load in the Rebels’ home opener. “Coaches have been talking to all the underclassmen that we need to step it up. I’ve taken that to heart.”

Jones helped lead Columbine — No. 2 in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A rankings — to a 34-10 victory over Arvada West in a 5A Jeffco League opener.

“He (Jones) is one of the top athletes on our team,” Columbine coach Andy

Lowry said. “He can run, jump and catch. He can do everything. We are trying to get him into some situations and find guys who are playmakers. That’s our biggest challenge.”

Columbine graduated a ton of seniors from last year’s 5A state runner-up squad.

The new pieces in the Rebels’ well-oiled machine has Columbine (2-0, 1-0 in league) undefeated so far this season.

Columbine junior Seth Cromwell got the Rebels’ ground attack going early.

The junior fullback scored on a 73-yard touchdown run on Columbine’s second play from scrimmage to give the Rebels’ a 7-0 lead with 8:46 left in the first quarter. Cromwell already had five rushing touchdowns on the season.

“I just busted it out,” Cromwell said of his long touchdown run.

Senior Isaiah Miller finished off a 12-play, 78-yard drive with a 12-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter to put Columbine

ahead 14-0.

A-West did mount a nice long drive, but had to settle for a 24-yard field goal by sophomore Ethan Kerstiens in the second quarter. Columbine answered late in the second quarter capitalizing on a short field after an AWest punt.

Cromwell scored his second touchdown of the first half with an 11-yard touchdown run with 17 seconds left before halftime to give the Rebels a 20-3 lead at halftime after a missed PAT. “Seth is a really great fullback for us. He does a lot of the work for us,” Jones said.

“He is a really good power player and lays out a lot of good blocks. He really opens the field open.”

Jones opened the fourth quarter with a 1-yard dive into the end zone. His interception of Arvada West senior quarterback Evan Hurlburt led eventually to Miller’s touchdown run in SEE COLUMBINE, P19

Columbine junior Seth Cromwell (34) breaks free for a 73-yard touchdown run in the first quarter Oct. 16 at Jeffco Stadium.

Cromell already has 272 yards rushing and five touchdowns on the ground for the Rebels through two games this season.

CHATFIELD FROM PAGE 18

“Our hope is just find a way to win this next week,” McGatlin said looking ahead. “We need to get a lot better before we see them (Dakota Ridge).”

Wheat Ridge will be looking to pick up its first win of the season against rival Golden on Thursday, Oct. 22, at the North Area Athletic Complex.

First-year head coach Nick Leonard, who moved from an assistant to the head coach just before Week 1, will try to keep the Demons (0-2, 0-1) winless.

the first quarter.

“He is a stud,” Cromwell said of Jones.

Jones finished off the Rebels’ scoring with a 42-yard touchdown catch from Columbine junior quarterback Brock Zanetell early in the fourth quarter to put the Rebels up 34-3.

A-West scored a late touchdown on a 19-yard touchdown catch by sophomore Andrew Martinez to make the final score 34-10.

Columbine is back at Jeffco Stadium next week. The Rebels face Lakewood (0-2, 0-1) on Friday, Oct. 23.

The Tigers were shut out 42-0 on Oct. 15 by No. 4 Pomona in another Jeffco League opener.

“Our guys are young,” Lowry said of the missed execution against A-West that featured several penalties. “We just have to be patient with them.”

Chatfield sophomore Mason Lowe, left, battles with Wheat Ridge junior Florentino Martinez (6) on a deep pass Oct. 17 at Jeffco Stadium. Lowe’s 57-yard touchdown catch proved to be the difference in the 10-3 victory for the Chargers.

The Rebels toughest test in conference play will come in the final two games of the scheduled regular season. Columbine faces Ralston Valley on Nov. 6 and squares off against Pomona on Nov. 12.

“Our team will be more molded together,” Cromwell said of facing Ralston Valley and Pomona late in the regular season.

A-West stays on the road next week.

The Wildcats head to Mullen to face the Mustangs (0-1, 0-1). Mullen suffered a 21-3 loss last Thursday night to No. 5 Ralston Valley (2-0, 1-0).

A-West has surpassed its win total after last season’s 0-10 record of 2019.

Coach Brad Pyatt had guided the Wildcats to three straight winning seasons prior to last year, including a pair of postseason appearances in 2017 and 2018.

PPLICATION FOR FINDING OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE AND TO MAKE CONDITIONAL WATER RIGHTS ABSOLUTE in JEFFERSON COUNTY. 2. BACKGROUND. This Application seeks a finding of reasonable diligence and to make absolute a number of conditional water rights that were confirmed by the August 11, 2004 Decree in Case No. 01CW161, Water Division 1, as modified by an Order entered on May 17, 2006 (“01CW161 Decree”). As discussed below, portions of the conditional water rights confirmed in the 01CW161 Decree were confirmed absolute by the September 30, 2014 Decree in Case No. 10CW233, Water Division 1 (“10CW233 Decree”).

The portions of the conditional water rights confirmed absolute by the 10CW233 Decree are not at issue in this diligence proceeding. 3. DESCRIPTION OF WATER RIGHTS (collectively, the “Subject Water Rights”). a. Location of Structures.

All structures are located in the NW1/4 SE1/4 of Section 14, Township 6 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M., Jefferson County, Colorado. All of these structures are shown on the attached EXHIBIT A and are more particularly described as follows: i.

Located 1,520 feet from the east section line and 1,520 feet from the south section line of Section 14, Township 6 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M. UTM coordinates (NAD83/Zone13): UTMx: 473978.3; UTMy: 4375311.1. ii. Village Well No. 2. Permit No. 63578-F; WDID No. 0905915.

Located 1,520 feet from the east section line and 1,870 feet from the south section line of Section 14, Township 6 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M. UTM coordinates (NAD83/Zone13): UTMx: 473977.9; UTMy: 4375417.8. iii. Village Well No. 3. Permit No. 63579-F; WDID No. 0905916.

UTM coordinates (NAD83/Zone13): UTMx: 473980.0; UTMy: 4375309.5. vii. TTIC Exchange.

The conditional appropriative right of substitution and exchange for the TTIC Exchange was confirmed by the 01CW161 Decree and utilizes water released from Spinney Mountain Reservoir into the South Platte River. Water is then exchanged from the confluence of Bear Creek and up the South Platte River, up Bear Creek to its confluence with Turkey Creek, up Turkey Creek to its confluence with North Turkey Creek, up North Turkey Creek to the confluence of North Turkey Creek and an unnamed tributary in the NW1/4 NW1/4, Section 14, Township 6 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M., up the unnamed tributary to a second unnamed tributary in the SE1/4 NW1/4, Section 14, Township 6 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M., and up the second unnamed tributary to the exchange-to point at the Village Pond as described in ¶ 3.a.vi, above. viii. MMRC Exchange. A conditional appropriative right of substitution and exchange for the Mountain Mutual Resource Company Exchange (“MMRC Exchange”) was confirmed by the 01CW161 Decree. The decreed exchange reach is from the exchange-from point at the confluence of Bear Creek and Turkey Creek at Bear Creek Lake in Section 5, Township 5 South, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., up Turkey Creek to its confluence with North Turkey Creek and South Turkey Creek, and thence up North Turkey Creek to the exchange-to point at Meadowview Reservoir.

Maximum pumping rate of 50 gallons per minute (“gpm”) for each well, with a cumulative maximum annual pumping volume of 24.48 acre-feet for all five wells. Under the 01CW161 Decree, at least 95% of the ground water diverted through Village Well Nos. 15 is treated onsite using a central mechanical wastewater treatment system and returned to the stream system. The specific amounts, if any, for Village Well Nos. 15 confirmed absolute by the 10CW233 Decree for Village Well Nos. 15 are as follows: (1) Village Well No. 1. 0 gpm, absolute; 50 gpm remaining conditional. (2) Village Well No. 2. 32 gpm, absolute; 18 gpm remaining conditional. (3) Village Well No. 3. 31 gpm, absolute; 19 gpm remaining conditional. (4) Village Well No. 4. 35 gpm, absolute; 15 gpm remaining conditional. (5) Village Well No. 5. 0 gpm, absolute; 50 gpm remaining conditional. (6) Village Well Nos. 15. 22.66 acre-feet per year absolute; 1.82 acre-feet per year remaining conditional. ii.

Village Pond. Capacity 3.7 acre-feet, absolute. iii. TTIC Exchange. 2.15 acre-feet per year at maximum flow of 0.3 cfs, conditional. iv. MMRC Exchange. 2.0 acre-feet per year, conditional. 4.

ABSOLUTE CLAIM. During April 2020, 4.3 gpm of the 50 gpm conditional water right for Village Well No. 5 was put to the beneficial uses approved in the 01CW161 Decree. See April 2020 Excel accounting file attached as EXHIBIT B. Based on such use, the Conifer Metro District requests that the Court determine and decree that 4.3 gpm of the 50 gpm water right for Village Well No. 5 has been made absolute, with 45.7 gpm remaining conditional. 5. DILIGENCE CLAIM FOR SUBJECT WATER RIGHTS. a. Diligence Period. The most recent diligence period for the Subject Water Rights was from September 30, 2014 when the 10CW233 Decree was entered, through September 30, 2020 (“Diligence Period”). b. Integrated System. This Court has previously confirmed that the Subject Water Rights “and appurtenant facilities are an integrated system in accordance with C.R.S. §37-92-3[0]1(4)(b).” See 10CW233 Decree ¶ 19, at 10. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92301(4)(b), work on other components of the Conifer Metro District’s water system is evidence of diligence on the Subject Water Rights. c. Activities and Expenditures. During the Diligence Period, the Conifer Metro District, with the assistance of White & Jankowski LLC and other legal counsel and consultants, completed activities and expended funds exceeding Two Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,900,000). These actions and expenditures confirm the Conifer Metro District’s steady and diligent effort to complete the appropriation of the remaining conditional portions of the Subject Water Rights by applying water diverted by the Subject Water Rights to beneficial use. These activities and expenditures include, without limitation: i. Operation of District Well Nos. 15 and Treatment Plant. The Conifer Metro District has continued to operate District Well Nos. 15 and a wastewater treatment plant to provide onsite treatment of all water withdrawn through Village Well Nos. 15 at costs exceeding $1,484,000. ii. Legal, Consulting and Administrative Costs and Expenses. The Conifer Metro District incurred and paid: (1) legal costs exceeding $290,000; (2) water and other consulting fees exceeding $56,000; and (3) administrative, management, accounting, audit and insurance costs exceeding $677,000. iii. Capital Improvements to Integrated Water System. The Conifer Metro District incurred and paid: (1) water capital expenses exceeding $101,000; and (2) general capital expenses exceeding $291,000. iv. Ground Water Monitoring. Jefferson County and the Division 1 Water Court require the Conifer Metro District to operate a ground water monitoring program. This program includes the periodic measurement and reporting of 22 wells. This information is measured by “data loggers” which must be periodically calibrated and downloaded by the Conifer Metro District’s ground water monitoring program. Costs for operation of the ground water monitoring program during the Diligence Period exceeded $158,000. A map of the monitored wells is attached as EXHIBIT C. v.

Capital Improvements to Integrated Water System.

The Conifer Metro District incurred and paid: (1) water capital expenses exceeding $101,000; and (2) general capital expenses exceeding $291,000. vi. Village Pond. The Conifer Metro District has continued to operate the Village Pond. All inflow and outflows to the Village Pond are measured, recorded and reported to the Water Commissioner. vii. Flumes. In order to measure the exchange capabilities and for accounting purposes, the Conifer Metro District has operated and maintained measuring flumes to record flows at all points described in ¶ 40 of the 01CW161 Decree. The flumes are periodically monitored and the results reported to the Water Commissioner as part of the recordkeeping for the augmentation plan. viii. Accounting. The Conifer Metro District has prepared and submitted the accounting required by the 01CW161 Decree and the 10CW233 Decree. 6. REQUESTED RULING. Based on the foregoing, the Conifer Metro District respectfully requests that the Water Court enter a decree finding that 4.3 gpm of the 50 gpm water right for Village Well No. 5 has been made absolute, with 45.7 gpm remaining conditional. The Conifer Metro District further requests that any and all remaining conditional portions of the Subject Water Rights are continued in full force and effect for all purposes in their full decreed amounts. 7.

2020CW3137 COORS BREWING COMPANY; P.O. Box 4030, Golden, CO 80401. Stephen H. Leonhardt, Esq., April D. Hendricks, Esq.; BURNS, FIGA & WILL, P.C.; 6400 Fiddlers Green Circle, Suite 1000, Greenwood Village, CO 80111; (303) 796-2626. APPLICATION FOR FINDING OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE AND TO MAKE ABSOLUTE IN PART IN JEFFERSON COUNTY. 2. Summary of Application. In Case No. 99CW236, Coors received conditional decrees for its Wannamaker/Farmers High Line and Augmentation Plan III appropriative rights of exchange, along with an absolute decree for a portion of its Wannamaker/Farmers High Line exchange, in the amount of 1.8 c.f.s. By this Application, Coors seeks to make an additional portion of its Wannamaker/Farmers High Line exchange absolute, and to maintain diligence on any portion of that conditional right of exchange not made absolute in this case. Coors also seeks to maintain diligence on the entirety of its conditional Augmentation Plan III exchange. 3. Description of Conditional Appropriative Rights of Exchange: The conditional appropriative rights of exchange, for which findings of reasonable diligence are sought, were originally decreed by the Division 1 Water Court in Case No. 99CW236 on August 8, 2007. Since that time, the Court has found Coors to have been diligent in the development of the subject conditional appropriative rights of exchange and accordingly has entered a decree continuing the remaining conditional portions of such water rights in full force and effect in Case No. 13CW3094 (entered September 4, 2014). The exchange rights are more particularly described as follows: A. Name of Exchange: Wannamaker/Farmers High Line Exchange i. Description of Exchange: Whenever diversions from Clear Creek above the Farmers High Line Canal are being curtailed for the benefit of any of the water rights decreed to that canal with dates of appropriation equal to or senior to November 2, 1865, and Coors is making junior ground water or cooling water diversions at or above the point of diversion of that canal, Coors may replace the depletions resulting from those junior diversions as required by the Decree in Consolidated Cases Nos. W-8036(75) and W-8256(76) by an exchange resulting from Coors causing a reduction in the amount of water then being called past the point of diversion of the Farmers High Line Canal for the benefit of Coors’s share of the June 1, 1860 water right decreed to the Wannamaker Ditch to replace depletions resulting to the Farmers High Line Canal caused by Coors’s junior diversions at the Coors Cooling Water Intake. Coors’s exercise of its interest in the water rights decreed to the Wannamaker Ditch in operating this exchange is subject to the terms and conditions of the Decrees in Case Nos.

During the Croke season (November 11 through March 20), the total cumulative instantaneous flow rate under this exchange shall not exceed 13.2 cfs. During the non-Croke season (March 21 through November 10), the total cumulative instantaneous flow rate shall not exceed 7.56 cfs for exchanges from direct deliveries of Coors’s augmentation water supplied to the stream system pursuant to the decree in Case No. 99CW236, and shall not exceed a 25.0 cfs maximum flow rate for exchanges of releases from storage of Coors’s excess consumptive use credits in its Jefferson Storage System (as described in ¶ VIII.C.3.a(3) of the decree in Case No. 99CW236), to be exchanged to any of the exchange-to structures. iv.

Appropriation Date: December 30, 1999; v.

Sources of Substitute Supply: (a) Coors’s interests in the water rights decreed to the Farmers High Line Canal, the Agricultural Ditch, and the Wannamaker Ditch as described in ¶ VI.A of the decree in Case No. 99CW236, and as changed in that decree, including any excess consumptive use credits from said water rights stored in the Jefferson Storage System. (b) Deliveries of water from the Farmers High Line Canal, the Church Ditch, the Croke Canal and Standley Lake Reservoir pursuant to Coors’s contract with the City of Thornton dated May 23, 1988 and the First Amendment to that Agreement dated December 23, 1996, and to the Decree in Case No. 96CW1117, as described in ¶ VI.B of the Decree in Case No. 99CW236. (c) Non-tributary groundwater from the Arapahoe and Laramie Fox Hills aquifers decreed by this Court in Case No. 85CW051, as described in ¶ VIII.B.2 of the Decree in Case No. 99CW236.

C. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-305(5), the substituted water provided by Coors for the exchanges herein is of a quality, quantity and continuity to meet the requirements of use for which the receiving senior appropriators have normally used such water. 4. Reasonable Diligence in Development of Conditional Appropriative Rights of Exchange: In support of this Application for Finding of Reasonable Diligence, during this diligence period from September 2014 through September 2020, in continuing the development of the conditional appropriative rights of exchange for use in its unified system, Coors has been engaged in the use, construction and completion of some of the diversion facilities, storage facilities, and water rights involved. In addition, Coors has been engaged in the legal defense and protection of said water rights, and has continued in the planning, designing and exploration of the physical and business arrangements associated with the construction and use of the water rights and facilities involved. Work done during the diligence period toward completion and exercise of the appropriative rights of exchange, and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, include the following activities: A. Diligence activities directly related to development of the appropriative rights of exchange in this application include: (1) Coors has exercised, operated and administered its plan for augmentation and exchanges decreed in Case No. 99CW236, including continued exercise of its Wannamaker/Farmers High Line Exchange both within and above the exchange rate previously decreed absolute. (Coors also seeks to make an additional amount of this exchange absolute, as described herein in ¶ 5.) (2) Coors has exercised, operated and administered its Plan for Augmentation and Exchange decreed in Case No. 99CW236. This Plan for Augmentation, including exchange, is operated and administered in conjunction with Coors’s previously decreed Augmentation Plan I (Case Nos. 8036(75), W-8256(76) and 88CW271), Augmentation Plan II (Case Nos. 89CW234, 99CW062 and 06CW83), and recently decreed Augmentation Plan IV (Case No. 17CW3177), and consistent with the decree in Case No. 99CW236. (3) During the diligence period, Coors has made substantial refinements to its accounting for its Augmentation Plans and exchanges decreed in the above-described cases, in coordination with the Division Engineer’s Office.

Coors believes that its revised accounting will improve the basis for the operation of the exchanges at issue in this application, in accordance with the decree in Case No. 99CW236. B. Unified System Activities: The appropriative rights of exchange in this Application are integral features in Coors’s unified water system developed by Coors for beverage and food production, malting, irrigation, domestic and other commercial and industrial uses, as this Court found in Case No. 13CW3094. Other components of the unified water system include the Straight Creek Tunnel Drainage and Effluent System (Case Nos. W-1665 in Water Division No. 5 and W-7097 in Water Division No. 1); Jefferson Storage System (Case Nos.

W-152 and 88CW206; realignment of certain Jefferson Storage System reservoirs pending in Case No. 18CW3225); Coors Golden Milling Right (Civil Action No. B-9675, Jefferson County District Court); Coors’s Underground Springs (Case Nos. W-7809-74, 90CW064 and 95CW081) and Augmentation Plan Springs (Case No. 81CW110); Idaho Springs Reservoir (Case No. 84CW671); the nontributary wells that are the subject of Case No. 85CW051; Coors Industries Ditch (Case Nos. W-224 and W-7585); the Coors Augmentation Plans I – IV, decreed in Case Nos. W-8036(75) and W-8256(76), 88CW271, 99CW236, and.

17CW3177, respectively; the Cosmic Decree (Case No. 88CW271), and related exchanges decreed in Case Nos. 88CW268, 88CW272 and 96CW1117 (all cases are decrees entered in Water Division No. 1, except where otherwise noted); as well as a complete water treatment, cooling, and distribution system at the plant site in Golden, Colorado. As described below, Coors and its affiliated entities, including Molson Coors Beverage Company, MillerCoors LLC, and Rocky Mountain Water Company, have expended substantial effort in the development of Coors’s overall unified system of which the rights identified in this Application are integral components. During this diligence period, Coors has continued the development of the unified water supply system of which the exchanges that are the subject of this Application are an integral part. This Court has determined that continued development and maintenance of Coors’s unified water system constitutes diligence for the individual water rights associated with that system as found by this Court.

See, e.g., Decree in Case No. 13CW3094 at page 12, ¶ 9.c (September 4, 2014). Coors has also been engaged in the legal defense and protection of said water rights and has continued in the planning, design, and exploration of the physical and business problems associated with the construction and use of the diversion facilities and water rights involved. During this diligence period, Coors and its affiliates, including MillerCoors, have undertaken the following activities and expended at least $1,900,000 for the development and maintenance of Coors’s unified water supply system: (1) Coors’s activities related to the Jefferson Storage System, including: (1) storage of water in the Jefferson Storage System, including 3,735 acre-feet stored in B-4 Lake and applied to decreed beneficial uses for storage and other decreed purposes; (2) new engineering studies of the remaining Jefferson Storage System conditional storage rights and alternative water storage locations, costing in excess of $150,000; and (3) an application filed on December 28, 2018 (Case No. 18CW3225) for changes of conditional storage locations to reflect a realignment of structures for future construction, and an alternate point of diversion for conditional water storage rights for multiple reservoirs in the Jefferson Storage System; (2) Expenditures in excess of $70,000 for contractual obligations under the Cosmic Agreement and related agreements; (3) Operation of deliveries and exchanges of water pursuant to Case No. 96CW1117 to the extent water has been available for such deliveries and exchanges, at an expense of more than $265,000; (4) Engineering costs in excess of $200,000 relating to Coors’s water rights and water supply system; (5) Expenditures in excess of $540,000 for ditch companies supporting Coors’s unified water system; (6) Expenditures of approximately $750,000 for pump installation and replacement, operation, maintenance, and repairs to Coors’s underground springs; (7) Expenditures in excess of $800,000 on other capital projects in support of Coors’s unified water system; and (8) Expenditures in excess of $46,000 to participate in the South Platte Water Related Activities Program (SPWRAP). Such participation will facilitate future federal permitting that may be necessary in connection with improvements or enlargement of storage structures in Coors’s unified water system, and will facilitate future storage and releases pursuant to the subject conditional exchange. C. During the diligence period, Coors has also participated in a number of water cases adjudicating matters required for the production of water used in Coors’s unified water system, including but not limited to the following cases: (1) Case No. 15CW3179 and appeal (application to amend Coors’s Augmentation Plans); (2) Case No. 17CW3177 (change of Miles and Eskins Ditch for Coors’s Augmentation Plan IV, along with appropriative right of exchange); (3) Case No. 18CW3225 (Jefferson Storage System storage realignment); (4) Case No. 19CW3037 (diligence and making conditional right absolute on Jefferson Storage System); (5) Case No. 19CW3055 (diligence on Coors’s Cosmic Exchange rights); (6) Case No. 20CW3060 (diligence on Coors’s Underground Springs); (7) Case No. 20CW3066 (diligence on Coors’s Augmentation Plan II Exchange); and (8) Case No. 20CW3087 (diligence

by Coors and co-applicants on exchange rights relating to the Cosmic Agreement). (9) Coors has also filed statements of opposition to a number of water court applications to prevent injury to Coors’s water rights, including those which are the subject of this Application. Coors’s legal fees and expenses in pursuing these applications and filing these statements of opposition to continue and protect the unified system water rights exceeded $1,300,000 during the diligence period. 5. Claim to Make Absolute in Part. In Case No. 99CW236, 1.8 c.f.s. of Coors’s Wannamaker/Farmers High Line Exchange was decreed absolute. By this Application, Coors seeks to make absolute an additional 4.68 c.f.s of this exchange, for a total of 6.48 c.f.s., absolute. Coors seeks to maintain diligence on the remaining conditional 0.64 c.f.s.

A. Date(s) water exchanged and applied to beneficial use: September 2014 to Present; maximum daily exchange rate diverted on April 22, 2019. B. Amount: Maximum daily exchange rate of 6.48 c.f.s. on April 22, 2019, as supported by Coors’s accounting records for this exchange, attached to the Application as Exhibit 2. This amount includes 4.68 c.f.s conditional, in addition to the 1.8 c.f.s. previously made absolute in Case No. 99CW236.

C. Description of Exchange Locations: Coors operated the Wannamaker/Farmers High Line Exchange on the dates and in the amounts described above by diverting water at the Coors Cooling Water Intake, described more particularly in ¶3.A.ii.b, in exchange for a substitute supply provided to Clear Creek at the Wannamaker Ditch, described more particularly in ¶3.A.ii.a. D. Use: Replacement of depletions caused by Coors’s junior diversions, as required by the Decree in Consolidated Cases Nos. W-8036(75) and W-8256(76), and as described more particularly in ¶3.A.i. 6. Owner of Land and Facilities: All structures described herein are located on land owned by the Applicant. WHEREFORE, Coors Brewing Company respectfully requests that this

Court enter a decree (1) finding that Coors’s Wannamaker/Farmers High Line Exchange has been made absolute in the additional amount of 4.68 cfs, for a total of 6.48 cfs absolute; (2) finding that Coors has exercised reasonable diligence in the development of its remaining conditional rights of exchange decreed in Case No. 99CW236; and (3) continuing the remaining conditional water rights in full force and effect for another six-year diligence period. Coors also seeks such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper. Number of pages of Application: 17.

DORAY FROM PAGE 12

Along the way, though, something else was quietly taking place. Because of the strike – initiated for just this purpose – Nepalese citizens reliant on public or private transportation could not get home to vote.

However, between the barricades, bus drivers slowed to pick up local residents at unobtrusive crossroads or small villages, and then, just as innocuously, drop them off further along on our route … Nepalese defying the strike and dodging the violence to get home.

In fact, all around Nepal,

ask you to do the same.

Clint Jones, Arvada Yes on popular vote measure This year we will get a chance to confirm what our state Assembly has already voted into law – our participation in the National Popular Vote compact.It makes perfect sense that every voter should count equally towards the election of the president – almost every other free country

people were literally risking their lives to vote. Watching election news after we arrived that evening, we learned that some children had their hands blown off when they found a homemade bomb at one of the polling stations. Opposition parties had stormed other polls across the country, assaulting the workers and attacking the police who were there to protect the voters.

And yet an astounding 70% of Nepal’s registered voters braved these volatile conditions to cast their votes in a democratic election, opening up their country to political and economic stability for the first time in decades.

So, how will the Ameri-

can version of this movie, playing out right now, end?

The similarities are chilling.

The armed extremists, who plotted to kidnap a sitting governor and put her on “trial” for “treason,” claim they intended to overthrow the government and start a civil war. They also planned to set bombs for police who would arrive to intervene.

Protesters, counterprotesters, and protesters countering counter-protesters fill our streets, while bad actors across the political spectrum deliberately create chaos with looting, burning and destruction. People – on both sides – are murdered.

And, as in Nepal, will the people with guns at the polls be there to protect voters …

or to frighten them?

There are many ways this can end badly, America … but it doesn’t have to.

Clearly, it’s too far down the line to ask that we resist divisiveness. Yet we can each step forward with respect and civility and safety – amid a global pandemic – to ensure that all U.S. citizens can exercise their constitutional rights to vote.

elects their leader by popular vote.

Right now, we see millions of dollars from both sides pouring into ads in just a few swing states, namely Arizona, Wisconsin Michigan, Florida, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.Voters in the remaining of states are essentially ignored by the presidential campaigns, because their states are predictably either red or blue.This is not a partisan problem – Republicans in Colorado are just as ignored as Democrats in Wyoming.

Under a National Popular Vote, all ballots would have equal value regardless of

which state they come from.

Nate Silver of Five Thirty Eight provides a great example of why our current system is so flawed.Even if Biden wins the popular vote by 3 million voters, he still stands only a 46% chance of winning the election.

This is because these Biden votes have to come from battleground states in order to sway the election.Without moving to a National Popular Vote, we will continue to see presidents elected who don’t represent the majority of Americans – and that is toxic to our democracy.

Please vote yes on Proposi-

tion 113 this year.It’s our opportunity to start reforming some of the things we know are broken in our current system.

Robin Kupernik, Arvada

Andrea Doray is a writer who notes that by contrast, under “normal” circumstances, only about 58 percent of U.S. voters cast a ballot in 2016. Contact Andrea at a.doray@andreadoray.com to assure her you will vote this year, for the candidates of your choice.

On the same path The writer who brought bicyclists’ inability to offer a warning shout on trails and paths was exactly right.

Nearly struck twice myself, yielding to a pre-Trump era, the former was probably a more general rule than the exception.

ALCORN FROM PAGE 12

still; he has many friends that he likes to spend time with, she doesn’t want to leave the house; Sundays are for football to him, Sundays are for church for her. Money philosophy, energy levels, social life, faith … these are pretty significant.

Differences in core values are, by their nature, not negotiable. Otherwise, they’re not “core values.” It’s those problems that lead to the term “irreconcilable differences,” which you hear tossed around every time a celebrity couple gets a divorce.

Now, consider this in relation to our city/county/ state/country: there are obvious differences keeping us apart right now. The question is this: are those differences matters of core values? Or are they the negotiables?

Because I don’t want to give a third of all the country’s stuff to a divorce lawyer.

More next week.
