Long before the Rockies held court at 20th and Blake, the Denver Grizzlies hit balls at Sixth and Acoma in

the late 1880s as one of Colorado’s first professional baseball teams.

It was a ragtag operation led by owner, manager and (yes, seriously) player Dave Rowe, a man who had already made a name for himself during a six-year big league career that included stints with teams in Baltimore, Cleveland and Kansas City and even a championship in St. Louis.

But it was Rowe’s contributions to establishing professional baseball in

FINDING THE MONUMENT The baseball monument is located in the middle of the Masonic section between Centennial, Pathfinder, Comanche and Frontier roads.

Colorado, which once led the Rockies to honor Rowe with the title “Colorado father of baseball,” that are perhaps his most lasting legacy.

Chief Jeffco judge suspends all jury trials until 2021 Current, incoming DAs grapple with impact on courts

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The First Judicial District, which

includes Jefferson and Gilpin counties, is taking another pause on jury trials amidst rising COVID-19 case numbers and an outbreak of the disease among court staff.

On Nov. 6, Chief Judge Jeffrey Pilkington issued an order suspending all jury trials through Jan. 18, 2021.

The order does permit “other court operations to continue through the use of remote technology, whenever

possible.”

According to the order, the court was notified on Nov. 4 that three court employees had tested positive for COVID-19. Following the completion of the contact tracing process, 12 other court employees have been quarantined because they were in contact with those who are positive.

On Nov. 12, Jeffco Public Schools announced that grades 6-12 would move to all-remote learning beginning the following Monday, Nov. 16.

Elementary schools K-5 will move to full remote learning after the Thanksgiving break. Those students will return to their all-remote classrooms beginning Nov. 30.

Jeffco Public Schools, in consultation with Jefferson County Public Health, made the decision to end nearly all in-person learning citing the continued rise of COVID-19 cases in the community, case counts that are dwarfing the spike in cases this spring, when schools also moved to a full-remote system.

As of Nov. 15 the district has reported 558 active cases among students and staff. Fourteen Jeffco school sites, mostly high schools, have double-digit active confirmed COVID-19 cases. During a school board study session last week Interim Superintendent Kristopher Schuh said more than a dozen Jeffco schools had to already move fullremote simply because the district did not have enough staff to run schools with so many people kept home by precautionary quarantines.

“Simply put, we’ve now reached the point at which the benefits of in-person learning are outweighed by the disruption caused by abrupt transitions to quarantines and by the risk of COVID-19 exposures within our buildings,” SEE SCHOOLS, P11

JCPH discussing metrowide stay-at-home shutdown Order likely to take effect in next week or two

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As skyrocketing COVID-19 cases across the metro area severely strain hospitals, contact tracing efforts and other mechanisms for managing the pandemic, Jefferson County Public Health’s deputy director said Thursday that metro Denver health departments are in talks about a metro-wide stay-at-home order that could begin “in the next week or two.”

“The metro Denver public health group has been having a lot of conversations about what it would look like to do this as a group of health departments,” said JCPH Executive Director Jodi Erwin during a meeting with the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners. “And as of last night, what I heard is that it is going to be at least another week before we get there because we want to make absolutely sure we have all of our ducks in a row.”

Dr. Mark B. Johnson, the medical director at JCPH and its former executive director, said the departments are talking about that time frame for a new stay-at-home order because it would provide enough time for them to reach out to the business and health care communities as well as other stakeholders in order to develop “a united plan” for approaching the stayat-home order.

Johnson said the departments are

also hoping that timeline will provide a chance to identify what was learned during the last stay-at-home order that could be replicated or implemented to allow the counties to move in a more targeted direction “instead of just the blunt `everybody stay at home.’”

However, Johnson did not elaborate on how a more targeted stay-at-home order might look.

“I think that’s really what we are hoping to do over these next two weeks is to learn what we can, to work with the groups that are involved and to make this a bit more of a surgical strike instead of just a hammer,” Johnson said.

Jeffco is one of several counties in the Denver metro area that has already “far exceeded” the thresholds for new cases and hospital capacity to be placed under a stay-at-home order by the state according to its new COVID-19 status color dial. However, the state has so far avoided forcing counties into a stay-at-home order.

Rising hospitalizations a concern Erwin said JCPH has been hesitant to impose a second stay-at-home order to this point despite the sharp rise in cases because it wanted to avoid putting pressure on businesses and also buy time to see whether hospital-

COVID FROM PAGE 2

However, that now appears to be happening. As of Nov. 12, Jeffco’s hospital beds were 77% occupied while ICU beds are 94% occupied. Erwin said Jeffco’s two hospitals — St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood and Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge — are also among the metro area hospitals that are anticipating staffing challenges in coming weeks as some staff members are unable to work as a result of their own exposures to COVID-19.

The impacts of the spike are also extending beyond hospitals. Erwin said the Jeffco coroner has informed the health department that “there are concerns around the region about capabilities for storing the deceased.”

The increase in cases has also made contact tracing increasingly difficult and ultimately less effective.

“We got to a point a couple of weeks ago where we could not ask all of the questions we typically ask when we are doing these investigations,” he said.

“We are not really asking people where they were exposed.”

Those challenges have also made it increasingly difficult to pinpoint where in the county the virus is — and is not — spreading.

“We get a lot of comments from people saying you don’t know data that says `this is spreading here, here or here,” said Erwin. “We also don’t have data that says it’s not spreading in certain places because it’s so overwhelming with our cases right now. Clearly, we have community spread, it’s prevalent throughout the county and throughout the region.”

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During the state’s “second wave” of COVID-19 cases this summer — a time when case counts notably increased after previously falling — Colorado appeared to see its residents make enough behavioral changes to flatten the curve again as summer went on.

But the current, third wave has continued on a steep upward climb since early September and shows little sign of breaking despite restrictions tightening across many counties.

“I think what was happening in summer is we had the great good fortune of having great summer weather and we could be outdoors,” said John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, which covers Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

Aside from that, three factors contributed to the second wave falling, Douglas said: A

state order to close that affected many bars, a change in the time of day alcohol must stop being served and — most importantly, Douglas said — issuing a mask mandate.

“We still have a mask mandate, still have bars closed (and) last call is more or less 10 p.m.” in many areas, Douglas said.

He thinks the difference now is partly the colder weather.

“I think we’re somewhat more fatigued than in July, and it’s darker and maybe we’re a little more depressed and need to be around our (friends) to feel better,” Douglas said, adding that people are spending time inside more in general. “I think the holidays were fuelers of it.”

He mentioned Labor Day and Halloween celebrations.

Douglas believes the availability of more COVID-19 testing has boosted case numbers somewhat, but he pointed out that the rate of tests that come back positive is rising, too, which signals more spread of the virus.

Biden Presidency Will Bring Renewed Focus on Affordable Housing and Discrimination

As you’d expect from any Democratic administration, there will be an increased focus on middle class and low income communities’ needs in the Biden administration, and that includes housing policy.

Back in February, after losing the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, and prior to the South Carolina primary, Biden released a $640 billion housing plan, focused primarily on increasing home ownership among Americans. Among other things, it included a $15,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers that could be used as part of the down payment at time of purchase.

“People vote based on their pocketbooks, and you don't get a bigger pocketbook issue than housing,” realtor.com’s chief economist Danielle Hale said. “For many, [housing] is the largest monthly expense that they have. And if you own a home, it's likely the most valuable thing that you own.”

According to Clare Trapasso’s article on realtor.com, Biden’s plan also includes down payment assistance for teachers and first responders plus changes in the appraisal process to address racial disparities. The down payment assistance, however, would be conditioned on purchasing in targeted lowincome areas in need of investment.

It has long been understood that home ownership is central to building family wealth, supported statistically by the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances. The most recent available report, covering the period 2013-2016, showed that during that period the medi-

an net worth of homeowners rose by 15% to $231,400, while the median net worth of renters fell by 5% to only $5,200. In other words, as of 2016, homeowners’ median net worth was 44.5 times that of renters.

A new 3-year survey should be published soon and will probably show those trends continuing.

As you’d expect, there’s a racial component to the homeownership divide. According to Svenja Gudell, chief economist of Zillow Group, nearly 75% of white households own their own home, while less than half of black and Hispanic households are homeowners.

Although redlining of low-income communities, which was promoted by the FHA from its inception in 1934, was outlawed by the 1968 Fair Housing Act, the damage had been done, and it will be hard for any administration to undo it.

We are just beginning to understand the problem and how to solve it.

The Biden plan also includes increased funding of Section 8 vouchers for low-income renters. At present, there’s only enough Section 8 funding to meet 25% of the demand. The plan would also prohibit landlords from discriminating against prospective tenants using Section 8 vouchers, and would provide legal assistance to tenants facing eviction. You can expect this idea to face a lot of opposition.

The most progressive element of Biden’s plan may be his proposal to provide a tax credit so that no renter pays more than 30% of his/her income toward rent, estimated to cost $5 billion/year.

The plan speaks about appraisal re-

Golden Real Estate Helps Buyers and Sellers With the High Cost of Moving to a New Home

If you’ve ever paid a moving company to move your furniture and other belongings to a new home, you know it can be very expensive. We’re talking thousands of dollars, even for a local move.

I have always felt that our clients deserve something more than a fruit basket or bottle of champagne at closing, so I continue to look for ways we can add value to each buyer or seller relationship.

I bought our first moving truck in 2003 and our second truck (a former Penske

rental shown here) in 2017. Together those trucks have logged 200,000+ free miles for our clients, who would have spent $200,000 or more on mileage fees alone if they had rented a similar truck from U-Haul.

When a client uses us for two transactions — to sell their current home and buy their replacement home within a 50-mile radius — I not only reduce the commission charged to sell their current home, but I hire the laborers to drive the truck and to load and unload it — using boxes we provide free!

form, aiming to create a national standard to assure that homes in minority communities are appraised for the same as homes in comparable white communities, but that defies the core principle of appraisal — that a home is worth what a willing arms-length buyer will pay for it.

According to the realtor.com article, the Biden plan promotes the creation of a public credit agency that would take into consideration a positive history of payment of rent and utility bills, providing a higher credit score that could help renters qualify for a home mortgage.

Not mentioned in the realtor.com article about Biden’s housing plan is the president-elect’s promise to undo the elements of Trump’s tax law which favored the wealthy. However, one provision actually harmed the wealthy who live in states with high property taxes, many of which, coincidentally, voted for Hilary Clinton.

That was the provision regarding SALT — State and Local Taxes, composed primarily of real estate taxes and income tax. It limited the deduction of those taxes to $10,000 per year. I suspect that this element of the tax code will be changed under the Biden administration.

The Trump tax law also doubled the standard deduction to $24,000, which eliminated for many the benefit of charitable donations. I, for one, thought this

would spell doom for many non-profit organizations, although Giving USA reports that donations by individuals fell only 3.4% in 2018. That’s remarkable, given that the number of taxpayers who itemized deductions fell that year to 18 million, from 46.5 million the year before, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation (per accountingtoday.com).

Those of us who are into sustainability and fighting climate change can expect the new administration to incentivize energy efficiency improvements and building codes through tax credits and grants. When Trump took office, there was a lot of concern in Golden and Jeffco that the Department of Energy, whose secretary had advocated abolishing the department until he learned it was responsible for America’s nuclear arsenal, would defund the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, but funding was actually increased by Congress. We can expect that a Biden administration will provide even greater funding to NREL, energy efficiency, sustainability and the electrification of transportation.

Biden’s February housing plan does address this issue, with the goal of cutting the carbon footprint of buildings by 50% by 2035, and providing incentives to home owners who retrofit their homes to be more energy efficient and more solar powered.

The women fighting hunger and homelessness in Jeffco Pandemic causing demand for food and shelter to grow

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

COVID-19 and tough economic times continue to take their toll on people everywhere, but for the hungry, homeless, or those on the brink, they’ve made an already difficult situation even more challenging. That goes for those trying to help solve these problems as well. As need increases, services for the food insecure are starting to feel stretched. And as winter sets in, homelessness becomes more vexing for all concerned. Compounding and confounding the issues, many in Jeffco and across the metro area are finding themselves facing these difficulties for the first time.

Chelsey Baker-Hauck, Co-founder of the Colorado Safe Parking Initiative, said they’re not the chronic homeless you may be thinking of.

“They may not even consider themselves homeless,” she said. “Often when people experience homelessness, the first place they go is into their car if they have one.”

In her experience, many of the new homeless tend to be working, some have children or pets and their car is an invaluable asset that can make the difference between stabilizing their situation, or spiraling into longerterm homelessness. Her organization focuses on creating safe parking

HOW TO HELP Information about Kaizen Food Rescue is available at www.kaizenfoodrescue. org. The organization distributes boxes of food in Lakewood every Wednesday at the COVID-19 testing site located at 9077 W Alameda Ave., and 11th Ave Head Start, located at 6201 W 11th Ave. More information about the Colorado Safe Parking Initiative is available at www. colosafeparking.org/ You can learn more about Jeffco Eats, including food drive and volunteer opportunities at https://jeffcoeats.org/getinvolved/ For more information about Benefits in Action, including how to volunteer, visit www.benefitsinaction.org spaces for people living in their cars.

Working in concert with community partners, the goal is not just to create a place for people to safely shelter in vehicles, but coming up with a whole ecosystem — sanitation, ways for people to shower, help with keeping vehicles registered and road-worthy, a formal intake process — to know who’s coming and going from the lots, plus a coordinated system to help individuals tap into housing navigation, food support, resources for healthcare, even assistance in finding or training for jobs.

“There’s a ton of need out there,” Baker-Hauck said. “Hundreds of people, on the conservative side, are living in their cars in the metro-area, and it could be as many as a thousand.

We need a network of safe parking sites throughout every community in every county.”

Volunteers prepare to give out food in Lakewood.

Baker-Hauck said so far, there hasn’t been any push-back from the neighbors where the lots are located. In Jeffco, there’s one safe parking lot in Arvada and one planned for Golden.

While she acknowledges the Safe Parking Initiative won’t stop or cure homelessness, Baker-Hauck thinks it’s a viable way to help people rebound into traditional housing.

Working to solve hunger and food insecurity in Jeffco is also a challenge.

schools, Section 8 housing residents and select nonprofit organizations.

They distribute food year-round.

Moore said need is surging.

“In March we were delivering to about 20 sites,” she said. “Now we’re up to 35. The amount of food we’re giving out since COVID-19 hit, has doubled, at least.” It’s a common refrain. Jane Barnes, Executive Director, Benefits in Action (BIA) echoed Moore’s take on expanding need.

“The numbers of folks requesting services are growing like crazy. The demand is outstripping all of our capabilities,” she said. “Food stocks are good through end of year, but who knows what will happen come January.”

BIA recently received a grant through the Jeffco Workforce Development Center, allowing them to hire ten delivery drivers to keep up with growing need.

In fact, the need is so great that Jeffco Eats has outgrown their space.

Moore said they’re looking for a building large enough to accommodate all of the food they need to bring in. She said she’d love to have more volunteers, but remains hopeful Jeffco’s hunger problem can be solved.

“With the cost to buy and rescue food — pantries with the right financial support could really move the needle to 100% in dealing with food needs people have,” she said. “It’s in reach if everybody would do their part.”

Thai Nguyen is doing a lot more than her part. Nguyen, founder of Kaizen Food Rescue, heads up the all

volunteer organization that shared 2.6 million pounds of food across the metro area from March through Oct. 2020, a 2,000% increase over the same period of time in 2019, a staggering escalation of need.

Pre-Covid, Kaizen would operate a weekly pop-up, but quickly had to shift to curbside, no-contact distribution. Now, utilizing parking lots, often on church property, Kaizen sets up shop in different locations six days a week, serving up to 350 families each day. Partnering with Food Bank of the Rockies, Nguyen said she does her best to make sure the food boxes her organization gives out are filled with nutrient-dense choices with fresher ingredients and healthier options, rather than highly processed canned foods food banks sometimes provide.

Nguyen said Kaizen concentrates on serving what she calls Food Apartheid communities.

“They’re areas that don’t have grocery stores around them,” Nguyen said. “We don’t use the term Food Desert because deserts are naturally occurring, apartheid is more deliberate.”

In Jeffco, most of the families Kaizen serves are from the Latinx, East African and West African communities. It’s something Nguyen seems to connect with deeply, in part because her family came to this country as refugees from Vietnam when she was a young girl.

“I think it’s part of my healing process,” she said. “I’m paying it fullcircle. It’s a privilege to be able to do that.”

According to Nguyen, many organizations like hers see a decrease in volunteers during the winter holidays, and extra help this time of year is always welcome.

Grab-and-Go meals planned for Jeffco students Free breakfast and lunch program to continue during return to mandatory-remote learning

TWO WAYS TO HELP November is Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Month, and the school district is planning two fundraising events to benefit unaccompanied youth and families experiencing homelessness.

Nov. 17 Chipotle Community Night — at 4255 W. Colfax Ave Chipotle.

Nov. 7-21 Virtual 5K — More information about this virtual fundraiser can be found on the Jeffco Public Schools website.

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As Jeffco public schools transition back to an all-remote learning model, Interim Superintendent Kristopher Schuh wants students and their families to know that food students currently receive through the District’s breakfast and lunch programs will continue to be available as part of a grab-and-go model.

On a recent Facebook Live event, Erika Edwards, Jeffco Food Nutrition Services Director of Operations, said the plan is to have distribution sites scattered across the district that will provide a mix of ready to eat meals and snacks, alongside meals that can be heated at home.

Chicken tenders and twisted breadsticks will be among the ‘heat at home’ options. Meals will come with heating instructions and will include fruit, vegetables and milk. According to

Edwards, the menu options will reflect the winter season and thus vary a bit from what was offered during the March shutdown.

Edwards said that twice-a-week distribution is how families of at-home learners have been receiving food so far this school year, and that is likely to now extend to all students as the district goes all-remote. Families will receive three to four meals at a time to cover all seven days in the week.

Social distancing and masking will be required at distribution sites.

Locations, times and other details will be posted on the District’s website when they are confirmed.

Distribution sites are scheduled to open Nov. 30.

Susan Kimes-Demboski, Jeffco Schools’ Family Engagement Liaison

A previous Jeffco Public Schools Grab and Go site from this spring. With the return of remote learning for most district students, the Grab and Go program is again expanding.

COURTESY OF JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS Coordinator, Title I, leads a team of five liaisons that work across the district to identify students that are experiencing homelessness and food insecure youth. During the Facebook Live broadcast, Kimes-Demboski said the District has built partnerships, both within the district and community partners like Hunger Free Colorado, the Action Center, Coalition to End Hunger and various faith organizations, to help keep Jeffco

youth fed beyond the bounds of the grab-and-go program.

“It isn’t just a Title 1 issue,” she said. “I want families to know we’re here for you.” Kimes-Demboski said her team has been working hard to build safe spaces for families to have conversations (with liaisons) around clothing, food and any other resources they might need. She considers her program a bridge of support between schools and the community.

Those are the words of outgoing Jeffco School Board Member, Ron Mitchell, explaining why his official association with Jeffco Schools, going back more than six decades, came to an end on Nov. 12.

Now, those contributions are enshrined in stone on a new monument honoring Dave and his brother, fellow 19th century major leaguer Jack Rowe, that was unveiled last month at the Golden Cemetery.

The effort to bring the monument to Golden began when Jim Lenarz, a lover of baseball history who also happens to be the Rowe brothers’ great-great nephew, read about an effort to raise money to construct a monument in honor of baseball hall of famer Deacon White. White and Jack had been teammates and part-owners of four different teams, including the Detroit Wolverines that won the 1987 World Series.

“We started talking and we decided it would be a good idea to do a memo-

to run and was part of a group of candidates known as “The Clean Slate.”

After winning his race against incumbent board member Ken Witt, Mitchell was sworn in, Nov. 19, 2015.

Of all the things the board accomplished during his time serving, the one he seems most proud of is conceptual.

“I truly believe that we changed the climate in the board room from day one,” he said. “We did it in a simple way, with respect. We began to value people across the organization, and people felt it.”

Jefferson County Education Associa-

rial for Jack and Dave,” said Lenarz, who lives in Sacramento, California.

“And it’s been a lot of fun.”

Falling into place Lenarz and Dave Stalker, the man behind the memorial effort, originally thought of putting the memorial in Pennsylvania, where both the brothers were born.

But it was when they were unable to pin down their exact birth city in Pennsylvania that Lenarz began to look toward Golden, where Lenarz’s mother, grandparents and uncle are buried (although Dave and Jack are buried separately in California and St. Louis respectively).

The site would be fitting not only because of Dave’s influence in Colorado but also because Jack made his home here for five years as well after the Rowe’s parents moved to Golden from St. Louis in the 1880s. Pieces really fell into place when Lenarz contacted the cemetery and learned

his family had title to one more grave site as part of the family plot.

The monument, which honors Dave on one side and Jack on the other, was installed in early October.

COVID-19 has forced Lenarz and Stalker to put off holding a formal dedication for now, although Lenarz is now considering holding one in the spring.

The unofficial unveilingof the Rowe and White monuments on Oct. 10 was announced on the David Stalker’s Baseball Monuments Facebook page, which chronicles the monuments he has worked to install around the country.

For Stalker, the Rowes are natural additions to his goal to honor important players whose contributions have been mostly forgotten.

“Most people don’t think about these players,” said Stalker. “Some of them ended up with a career batting average that was 10 points too low to

get them in the Hall of Fame but they still had outstanding careers and, in the case of the Rowes owned teams, and just did a lot for baseball so they are very deserving of this.”

Few can appreciate the addition of the Rowe monument more than Jay Sanford, a baseball historian who lives in Arvada and spent years tracking down old newspaper stories to research the Rowes. In 2001 Sanford worked with the Rockies to honor Dave with their Pioneer Award.

According to Sanford, Rowe was also one of the first to bring professional baseball teams to Colorado when they would barnstorm from city to city to play in the offseason.

“These are just two guys lost to history so it’s nice to see them get their due,” said Sanford. “And it’s even nicer when they have the history with Golden with their entire family being buried out there.”

tion President, Brooke Williams is one of those people. She said the JCEA is sad to see Mitchell go and they’ll miss his advocacy for educators.

“He’s given so much to the community and students,” she said. “He’s always put us first, even before himself.

We wish him the best.”

The change of atmosphere in the board room isn’t the only accomplishment Mitchell is proud of. He believes 2018’s bond election and mill levy override, allowing the district to make major improvements, modernize schools and increase educator salaries, were significant achievements. The new Warren Tech South, also a benefit of the passed bond, is another accomplishment high on Mitchell’s list.

“Its a big deal that our kids, a year from now, and for generations to come

will benefit from,” he said. “It will make us more adaptable as we move into the future and I’m proud to have been a part of it.”

Fellow board member Stephanie Schooley first met Mitchell when her children’s elementary school was in danger of being shut down by the district. She said reaching out to Mitchell for advice about how to better advocate for the school was the first step on her own path of involvement.

Schooley admires Mitchell’s dedication to have stayed on the board for this long.

“This year there’s just been one more thing to be able to vote on, or one more thing to do. It’s been like 10 years rolled into 6 months,” she said. “We’re just grateful that he stayed, to help shepherd the district though some of

the issues. He’s the biggest cheerleader and supporter for Jeffco Schools.”

Her thoughts on the matter almost seem prophetic, because when asked about his retirement date, Mitchell said he chose Nov. 12 because there was one last vote he wanted to take part in on Nov. 11 — phase 2 authorization of the district’s 2018 capital improvement bonds.

Now that the 12th has come and gone, he’ll get some well deserved time to spend with family, and the job of filling his seat on the board for the remainder of his term will fall to his fellow board members. Mitchell is positive that will all work out fine.

“If you bring the right values and apply them to every decision, You can find the answer that you need to find,” he said.

With COVID-19 pressure in jail, county to use CARES dollars to reopen a floor Seventh floor will allow capacity to be increased by 216 inmates

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Budget challenges forced the closure of a floor of the Jeffco jail last winter.

Now, COVID-19 is about to reopen it.

On Nov. 10, the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners directed county staff to provide Jeffco Sheriff Jim Shrader with the $3.75 million he says is necessary to reopen the fifth floor of the jail for the next year.

Shrader had told the commissioners that reopening the fifth floor, which has been closed since March, would allow him to increase the jail’s current 760-bed capacity by 216 beds.

He had originally asked for twice that amount, which he said would allow him to keep the floor open until the pandemic’s likely end.

Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper said she supported funding the floor for one year rather than two because the county is facing other demands for CARES Act funding and trying to balance them all.

Pandemic led to space issues Space has been an issue in the jail since the start of this year, when cuts enacted to the Jeffco Sheriff ’s Office budget as part of county budget cuts led Shrader to close the seventh floor of the jail because he no longer had the budget to staff it. That closure

reduced the capacity of the jail from 1,392 beds to 1,148.

The capacity of the jail then had to be reduced even more when COVID-19 arrived in the jail in March. Shrader reduced the population to less than 600 inmates in accordance with CDC and public health department guidance.

To do so, the Sheriff ’s Office implemented early release protocols, worked with the District Attorney’s office to adjust bonds and review sentences and implemented new arrest standards that limited jail bookings to certain felonies and crimes involving the Victim’s Rights Act. “I have worked my entire career to put criminals behind bars so it was very difficult to have to make deci-

sions regarding which criminals to put behind bars,” Shrader wrote in a letter to the Jeffco community on Nov. 6.

The jail has also dealt with its own COVID-19 outbreak during the pandemic that began when cases were first identified at the jail in March and was officially deemed by an outbreak in late May. That outbreak was deemed over by Aug. 27. By that point, 58 inmates and 12 staff had been confirmed to have tested positive for COVID-19.

In March, the Sheriff ’s Office closed the fifth floor so that it could reopen the seventh floor to use it to house inmates who were showing symptoms of COVID-19. The seventh floor can currently hold up to 192 inmates while the remaining floors, including the fifth, can each hold 216.

In his letter, Shrader stated that the Sheriff ’s Office had noticed an increase in certain types of crime that do not typically meet the current arrest standards, particularly motor vehicle trespasses and motor vehicle theft. In response, Shrader met with Jeffco’s police chiefs to discuss the enhanced arrest standards and how to ensure that criminal activity is still being “appropriately deterred and disrupted while jail capacity remains limited.”

On Sept. 2, Shrader expanded the jail capacity to 760 beds and amended the arrest standards to include class 4 felonies, the fourth most serious felony.

He said reopening the seventh floor would allow him to further relax standards but that such changes would not

come overnight.

“Just because there is a `yes’ today doesn’t mean the problem is solved today,” said Shrader. “There is obviously a lag in recruiting, hiring and training to make sure that we can get to this point, but this will give us the latitude to move forward in a positive direction.”

New COVID-19 cases in jail The move to fund the reopening of the seventh floor comes as the jail is experiencing new pressure from COVID-19. As of Nov. 6, “one inmate and five detention employees were currently positive, with several additional employees showing symptoms and awaiting test results.”

“Despite our best efforts to prevent the spread of COVID in the detention facility, the number of current positive cases could mean the jail will revert to outbreak status again, only two months after our first outbreak was officially resolved at the end of August,” Shrader wrote in his letter.

Commissioner Casey Tighe also expressed support for providing funds to reopen the seventh floor but said the Sheriff ’s Office must redouble efforts to determine who really needs to be in jail.

“I support this effort but I also want to really push hard to make sure we evaluate our system and make sure that we are making good decisions on who is incarcerated and who isn’t,” said Tighe.

Shrader said he agreed with Tighe, and would work with the county’s Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee to continue those evaluations.

Veterans Day gift to Green Mountain High School Unique friendship between Vietnam Veterans and students leads to a special celebration PHOTOS BY BOB WOOLEY

A young masked trumpeter played and former brothers in arms silently looked on as Old Glory was raised under the blue Colorado sky. Members of Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 1071, gathered at Green Mountain High School this Veterans Day to dedicate a 30 foot flagpole they donated to the school. This gift was just the latest in a string of interactions between the school and the veterans group that started six years ago when Social Studies Teacher, Miles Schwartz reached out to see if the veterans would be interested in speaking to his students about their experiences in the war.

COURTS FROM PAGE 1

“This has a significant impact on the court’s ability to conduct its business, including trials,” Pilkington wrote in the order.

The order notes that “most other jurisdictions in the state have suspended jury trials through much of the holiday season” and “public health experts repeatedly caution that COVID-19 will spread as families and friends gather during the holidays.”

Pilkington said the order is based on the COVID-19 orders previously issued by federal, state and local authorities.”

“For these reasons and in collaboration with the Jefferson County Public Health and the Gilpin County Board of Health, the Court concludes that the District can no longer safely assemble a jury pool at this time in the pandemic,” Pilkington wrote in the order.

The order may be amended as necessary as circumstances with the virus have “changed rapidly and may

The statement went on to say that students will participate in synchronous learning (logging on and participating as a class during set class times) Monday through Thursday.

Fridays will be either synchronous or asynchronous, depending on the school and grade.

continue to do so.”

The postponement of all jury trials to 2021 will worsen what First Judicial District Attorney Pete Weir has called “an unprecedented backlog of cases” that was created following a fivemonth pause on jury trials earlier this year as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.

“The cases continue to pile up,” said Weir. “The week before last we had three murders in Jefferson County so that’ll be other cases that are now in the queue and when we have a complete moratorium all it does is stack up some real challenges in 2021 and beyond.”

Among the many notable trials that will now need to be continued is that of the driver accused of killing four people in a fiery crash on I-70.

Weir said the court was able to make good progress in the period when jury trials were once again able to proceed with COVID-19 modifications in place.

He said the court was able to try about 20 felony cases and 30 county court cases, a number which he believes was possibly the highest in the state.

Still, he said that progress really

equated to “nibbling around the margins” of the backlog that had developed.

That backlog will likely only grow as Weir said he is not planning to take any steps to reduce pressure on the court like he did at the start of the pandemic when his office took what he described as the “extraordinary step” of releasing over 2,000 low-level traffic and misdemeanor cases.

“We’re not going to go down that path again,” he said. “I just don’t think that’s what the public will be wanting at this stage.”

Instead, Weir said his office will continue to work to prioritize cases according to factors like the severity of the crime, the number of times it has been continued and the impact on witnesses.

The pause on trials also comes as

the court as Alexis King, who was elected to be the district’s next DA earlier this month, is preparing to take over the office.

“It’s not a surprise but it is worrying,” King said of the pause. “We want to make sure folks who want to go to trial have that option and we want to make sure victims who want resolution to their case can have that closure. So, we are going to be under a lot of pressure to prioritize and make the best of the time that we have when we do open back up.”

King said she will continue with Weir’s effort to work with the chief judge and public defender’s office to prioritize cases and plans to maintain those collaborative efforts when she takes over while considering “any additional efforts we can make on our end.”

A digital testament to those we’ve lost ALCHEMY

Andrea Doray

“O

n one of our walks during quarantine, my mom and I talked about how sad it was that people were dying and their loved ones couldn’t memorialize them or celebrate their lives. We decided we wanted to do something to give back to all those grieving.”

These are the words of 17-year-old Sam Shoflick. And what she and her mother Megan decided to do was develop a free website for people to create memorial pages for their loved ones “…so all who have been lost to the pandemic can be commemorated in this collective space,” says Sam.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thanks for supporting Prop EE I am pleased that Colorado voters overwhelmingly passed Proposition EE, showing strong support for early learning. Proposition EE will initiate a tax on nicotine vaping products and increase the tobacco tax to secure revenue for universal preschool beginning in 2023.

Youth in Colorado have had access to nicotine and vaping products, with low or no taxation at all, and young children have had limited access to high quality early education. Proposition EE will help address teen vaping, and bolster learning opportunities for young children.

Colorado has some of the lowest funding for early learning in the nation. For example, the Colorado

Preschool Program is unable to serve over 60% of eligible students due to lack of sufficient funding despite research showing the great importance of healthy early childhood education. Passage of Proposition EE will help make Colorado a leader in early learning and dramatically increase early learning opportunities for children.

Research has shown that access to healthy early childhood education has positive impacts on children’s linguistic, social, and cognitive skills, as well as overall literacy. Furthermore, early childhood education significantly contributes to the development of creativity and intellectual skills at a SEE LETTER, P13

Sam and Megan live in the south Denver metro area, but their site – Covituary.org – is available around world. Megan says their inspiration actually came from a particularly heartbreaking loss – a close friend’s mother was separated from her husband in their nursing home after she got sick with COVID-19.

“When she was dying, her husband couldn’t see her, so their children took an iPad and a ladder to the second-story window of their dad’s room, so he could say goodbye via FaceTime to his wife of 60-plus years,” says Megan.

Deeply affected by this story, Sam and Me-

gan agreed that a website to honor victims of the coronavirus would have the most impact.

“CovituaryTM is a place to reconnect with family and friends and celebrate the lives of those we’ve lost,” says Megan.

Through a friend, they connected with a programmer who built the interactive site. It was also vitally important their website be translated into multiple languages. “Because the pandemic is global, we want our site to accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world,” says Megan.

Our lives influenced by technocrats and criminals

T

ell me something, if you can: When did we, as a country, become so comfortable, and even blasé, about mafia-like behavior?

For, example, two nights HITTING before the election, one of the bigger national stories HOME was how stores and business in several cities around the country were boarding up their windows in anticipation of violence following the election. Apparently, if the election, which was closer than anybody imagined, had tipped the other direction, metropolitan businesses felt there was a Michael Alcorn credible threat to their businesses.

Of course we know which side of the election the store owners were worried about, and anybody who would argue differently is being obtuse. Exhibit A: the fact that one side lost, and no cities were burned.

But, in a larger sense, since when do we accept that behavior? Was the threat of violence and destruction a factor in this election? No, not likely. But it should never be a concern!

That’s very 1940s and 50s South America kind of stuff. We’re better than that.

And why do we accept social media exerting power over our lives to control the flow of information? I get it — the Russians bought up a lot of Facebook ad space in 2016. But that should not mean that a couple programmers from Silicon Valley should suddenly have the power to decide which bits of information are allowed the light of day, and which are not? And, yeah, it’s not the government exerting control, so it’s not a First Amendment legal issue; but once upon a time, civil libertarians would have been storming the digital gates to prevent that sort of censorship. These days, not so much. Mostly just conservatives, in their khaki-pants brigades, whining about media bias.

And speaking of our tech overlords, when did Microsoft become the Wizengamot?

And if you don’t know what that is, I would refer you to the Harry Potter universe. I’m betting the powers that be at Microsoft know what that is, and the negative connotation it carries.

About six weeks ago, I received notice from Microsoft that my account had been blocked.

I was not informed at the time of the nature of the violation for which I was blocked, nor was I even informed of the device upon which the “offense” occurred. I was simply blocked.

Now, those of you who store stuff in any of the Microsoft cloud environments would surely understand what a nightmare this could have been. As it turns out for me, it’s little more than an inconvenience.

However, since, as a security precaution, all of my son’s Xbox content is registered to my email account, my son has now lost access to hundreds of dollars worth of gaming content, his profile, his records, his ranking in some of the competitive worlds…. All hidden now, in some double super-secret probation.

Again, the genesis of the potential offense still a carefully guarded secret.

The best part of all this is that one afternoon last week I wasted an hour and a half chatting with a Microsoft customer service agent who had no access to my information, no access to records of the investigation underway, no ability to escalate my complaint, and no suggestions as to how to proceed. In fact, the only thought he had (and it’s not his fault) was to file a records request; of course, I filed a records request six weeks ago, and it clearly states that duplicate requests would “start the clock over” on the investigation into the original request.

So much of our lives right now are dependent on people and systems that we have absolutely no control over, and, frankly, it’s a little scary. You want to see the education world come to a screeching halt in a nanosecond? Have Google shut down all their services. Education would literally stop.

We should be smarter than this. Somewhere between Don Corleone and SkyNet there has to be a place for us to get off this ride.

Got the sniffles? Get tested for COVID-19

L

GUEST COLUMN

ike most 15-month-olds in daycare, my daughter has had six colds this year.

And every time I have had her tested for COVID-19. Many thought I was being ridiculous. Then one day, after one day of a runny nose, she tested positive. It was a vindication I never wanted. But one I was not completely surprised by.

As a family physician, I have cared for many COVID-19 patients (even as young as 10 months) whose only symptom was a runny nose. In truth, when the CDC listed nasal congestion as a symptom of COVID-19, I was hesitant to test every patient with the sniffles. Doctors are trained to think critically and to judiciously utilize testing resources. But if our case numbers are ever going to go down, we all need to stop fearing the test.

If you develop even one COVID-19 symptom — please do not hesitate. Go get tested, not just for yourself, but for your community. Yes, the COVID-19 symptoms are exten-

I turned to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the current status in our country.

As of this writing, the CDC reports 10,846,373 cases in the U.S., and the number of deaths ascribed to the coronavirus are 244,810 since January 21. Worldwide (based on numbers from countries who choose to share reports), 54.3 million people have been infected and 1.32 million have died.

As an educator and Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) advocate, I applaud Colorado voters for

sive and common. Most of you are likely to develop a runny nose, cough, fever, chills, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle aches, loss of sense of smell/taste, sore throats, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea at some point by the end of this year.

It is always possible that your symptoms are from those leftovers you ate or the smoke from the fires. But America is relying on you to make sure.

Testing is now widely available and at many places, such as the health center where I work, with no out-of-pocket cost.

Testing might not change your treatment but it can prevent you from unknowingly infecting someone else — someone who unfortunately could become much sicker than you.

Testing is one way to protect your loved ones and neighbors. But wearing your mask is just as important. My husband and I tried our best to avoid COVID-19 — we socially distanced and wore masks as much as pos-

The Colorado Department of Public Health reports 163,417 cases in our state and 2,234 deaths due to COVID-19 (the total number of deaths among these cases is slightly higher).

Of course, pretty most everyone I talk to has an opinion on these numbers – overcounted, under-reported, misrepresented, etc., not to mention stark differences in perspectives about masks and social distancing.

To most of us, though, numbers like these (whether higher or lower) are overwhelming. And, unfortunately, most of us probably know of – or have experienced – heart-wrenching

But infection does seem inevitable considering my baby loves sneaking up on me with affectionate “dinosaur” kisses.

My baby could not wear a mask. I am incredibly grateful that she is doing well, and hopefully, thanks to early detection, we prevented her from spreading it to our friends and family.

I am proud to fight on the frontlines against COVID-19. Please help me in this fight and wear a mask, socially distance and get tested without hesitation. Front-line workers, babies, and the most vulnerable are counting on you.

Arapahoe Libraries creative specialist Sivan Johnson works in the Southglenn Library recording studio before the pandemic. The library district offers three studios: one each in west and east Centennial at Southglenn and Smoky Hill libraries, respectively, and one at Sheridan Library in the city of Sheridan.

usic of various genres. Podcasts. Work presentations on a green screen.

Slam poetry. Music videos.

Making movies for film school.

These are the types of works patrons have produced at free recording studios through the Arapahoe Libraries district that stretches across a swath of the south Denver metro area.

“And this is all free to anyone — not

just our library (members),” said Tim Fritz, a digital media librarian for the library district. “We don’t ask for a card.”

It’s a service that has seen patronage from both younger and older local residents — from people living around the Sheridan Library studio in the district’s western end, to residents of other areas utilizing the district’s other two studios in the west and east ends of Centennial.

“We had a (kid) come in and use the Sheridan studio, and he’s now a

touring rapper,” Fritz said, referring to a performer with the stage name Jay The Rarest. “There a high school right next to the studio, and when school gets out, the studio’s booked.”

The district’s three studios closed in March, along with Arapahoe Libraries locations as a whole, as the spread of COVID-19 gripped Colorado. But the libraries are considering checking out some of the studio equipment — such as for digitizing film or possibly loaning out keyboards — as the trend in public-health restrictions signals

that studios may stay locked up into 2021.

On the other hand, some commercial recording studios in the Front Range have seen their work pick up as Coloradans have more time at home amid the pandemic, said Dave Devine, a senior lecturer of jazz guitar at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

Artists have used that time to “record the basic parts at home and send the parts in to finalize them in a SEE STUDIOS, P15

Sharing ‘Daddy Bruce’s’ story this holiday season

I

f you’ve been in the Denver metro area for a while, there’s a good chance you’ve come across the name Bruce Randolph at least one or twice. You COMING might recognize it ATTRACTIONS as a street name, the name of a school, or maybe from President Barack Obama’s 2011 State of the Union. But people who knew the restauranteur and philanthropist affectionally known as “Daddy Bruce” Clarke Reader best remember him for his kindness and generosity.

Those are the qualities highlighted in the documentary “Keep A Light in Your Window,” which is making its broadcast premiere on Rocky Mountain PBS at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 19. The film will also be shown at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 22, 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 26 and 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 27.

“Lots of stories and information for this film was gathered from his family and the people who knew him directly,” said Ronald Wooding of Peoples’ Production Company LLC, producer of the documentary. “It’s been 18 years of working with the Daddy Bruce legacy, sharing and finding stories and learning about the richness he invested in the community.”

Randolph was born in 1900 and opened his first restaurant in Denver on the corner of Gilpin Street and East 34th Avenue in 1963, Wooding said. His restaurant grew in popularity, thanks in no small part to the BBQ recipe he was given by his grandmother - an ex-slave living in Arkansas.

The restaurant became a popular spot for all kinds of people, and when he started bringing food up to the Denver Broncos’ practice facility in Greeley, he had fans for life.

“He became friends with Pat Bowlen and would even travel with the Broncos — they called him their 12th man,” Wooding said. “He was like a magnet, always drawing people in.”

A deeply religious man (another gift from his grandmother), Wooding said Randolph wanted to emulate Jesus by feeding at least 5,000 people and that mission just kept on growing, even after his death at age 94. Randolph started an annual Thanksgiving food distribution event that’s been going for 56 years, feeding up to 10,000 families this year alone. The Epworth Foundation is currently hosting the distribution event and is always looking for donations and volunteers - particularly so this year, when COVID-19 has decimated so many lives.

“Bruce had this saying that nothing beats love — he just believed in people and helping people,” Wooding said. “Right now, with the pandemic going on, that’s what we all have to do.

We all have to sacrifice and reach out

to other people, because it’s not just about feeding them — it’s about how we treat others in our everyday life.”

For information about how to access the Rocky Mountain PBS channel in a specific area, please visit www.rmpbs. org/channels/. And those who want to support the Epworth Foundation can find details at www.epworthfoundation.org/.

‘The Nutcracker’ dances onto RMPBS The Colorado Ballet’s annual production of “The Nutcracker,” presented by PNC Bank, will air on RMPBS on the following dates and times: 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 26; 3 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 27; 9 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 18; 1 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 19; 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 24; and midnight on Friday, Dec. 25.

The production also may be streamed for free throughout the holiday season on the Rocky Mountain PBS app, downloadable at https://www.rmpbs.org/pbs-videoapp/.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week - Patty Griffin from The Continental Club If you’ve ever heard Patty Griffin sing, you know when she really digs in, she has the kind of voice that can blow the walls of a place. Her takes on gospel, folk, blues and rock always feel vibrantly alive and brimming with emotion.

Like so many of us, Griffin is worried about our beloved music venues, many of which we could lose due to

the COVID-19 shutdown. To help keep 18 venues afloat during this extraordinarily challenging time, she’ll be doing a livestream performance at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21 and Dec. 5. Both shows will be broadcast from The Continental Club in Austin, Texas.

That familiar feeling one gets from their music is a perfect fit for holidays, and they’re going beyond music with their Lounge Around Sounds Variety Hour: THANKSforGIVING event.

The livestreamed event will be held at 6 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 23 and will feature music, Thanksgiving dishes and cooking tips from Phil Rosenthal, host of Netflix’s “Somebody Feed Phil,” discussions and a surprise or two.

studio,” said Devine, who has played the role of producer in metro-area studios. He’s also set foot in studios as a member of bands and ensembles and as a session musician to record for other artists.

Some local spots are well-known Metro-area residents looking to step into a recording studio have a variety of options, including some that have seen big-name music artists.

One that might be “shocking” to hear about is west Denver’s Side 3, located in an industrial area near North Santa Fe Drive.

The studio has recorded Kanye West, Devine said, as its website shows. Their clients also include “Green Day, Ed Sheeran, Lil Wayne — it’s insane,” he added.

Mighty Fine Productions in east Denver is “renowned and does a variety of music,” said Devine, who lives in Lakewood. Colorado Sound in the Westminster area — another spot Devine mentioned — lists Colorado folk band The Lumineers and neo soul pioneer D’Angelo among its clients.

In response to the pandemic, Mighty Fine started livestreaming concerts from its studio, Devine said.

Avoiding the virus has turned some to home recordings, he added.

“You can record yourself on your computer and drop the file in the s ‘cloud,’ and the engineer can turn them into magic,” Devine said. “The engineer I was talking to today from Longmont said he has more work than he can handle because people have more time.”

Some recording studios are located in people’s homes, too, which may make them more cost-effective without “overhead” costs of a building with plumbing, electricity and taxes, Devine said. “But another thing is it feels (like) a much more comfortable environment. They’ll go make you coffee … it feels much more communal.”

For amateur artists, a home studio can be a great place to start, Devine said.

“You can look online for home studios where maybe the time is more flexible,” Devine said. Some will start there, and if an artist thinks a recording needs something more, they can take the project to a bigger studio, Devine added.

Prices can be steep: Devine estimated most places in town can cost between $500 and $750 for a day of recording. He wasn’t sure on home

The Douglas County Libraries location in Parker offers “state-of-the-art software and equipment to create videos, musical compositions, animations, e-books and more,” according to the district’s website. For more information, see dcl.org/reserve-a-space.

Denver Public Library locations also offer multiple recording studios listed at denverlibrary.org/studios.

The Studio at the Wright Farms library in the Thornton area also offers “state-ofthe-art video, audio and design equipment and software,” according to the website for the Anythink library district in Adams County. For more information, see anythinklibraries.org/location/ anythink-wright-farms.

The recording studio at Wright Farms was closed, according to its website in mid-November. Other metroarea library studios are likely to be temporarily closed or restricted as well amid the pandemic, but see contact information on the websites above for current information.

studio prices.

An artist recording a vocal performance might say, ‘$700, that’s a lot of money,’” but it’s an opportunity to sing into equipment that may be worth thousands of dollars, Devine said.

Free studios still a quality bet Fritz, the digital media librarian for the Arapahoe Library District, said that in Smoky Hill and Southglenn libraries in Centennial, “you get a professional-grade studio,” and at Sheridan Library it’s a little less sophisticated but still capable.

Electric guitars, keyboards, DJ equipment and electronic drum pads are among the gear patrons can use at the library studios, Fritz said. Middleaged residents often come in to produce audiobook readings, he added.

Fritz helps newcomers learn about the equipment, too, and before the pandemic, studios could be booked for up to three hours daily.

As the studio closure continues, Arapahoe Libraries is planning to check out some equipment but isn’t as certain about providing large items such as guitars because of the cleanup they require, Fritz said.

“I think we’re all hoping like January” to open the studios back up, Fritz said. But the library district has to play it by ear given changing public health guidelines.

according to its website in early November. Other metro-area library studios are likely to be closed or restricted as well.

Fritz wants to get the word out, particularly to “underserved populations,” about the fact that his libraries offer studios.

“Many people don’t know that the places exist, and then when they (find out), they’re quite shocked,” Fritz said.

A

s we can all plainly see, this holiday season is going to be drastically different than anything anyone has ever experienced. As COVID cases spike and drop and spike again, we are living in a liquid state of existence with restrictions and recommendations constantly changing like the ebb and flow of an ocean tide.

Wow, I just re-read that last sentence. Makes me sound like some kind of accomplished novelist, huh?

Well, let me put it in more down-toearth terms. We’re in the middle of a mass pandemic with mass confusion as to what we can and can’t do from day to day.

ing the news, but things are changing so often that you really need to check on what’s going on in your area every day. We have a lot of mandated restrictions, but not a lot of inspiring solutions offered from the government officials that you John Akal might expect to give us some guidance.

The truth is, this is such an unprecedented state of affairs that involves people in so many diversified situations and occupations that it’s been pretty much left up to the public to figure out their own ways of making things work and keeping everyone safe. There’s no cookie cutter solution that’s going to work for all of us, just a general framework that needs to be built on.

With that said, some people are kind of at their wits ends or financially drained to the point that they just can’t get creative and build on that framework. But there are others who have stood back for a moment, looked at the canvas that they have to work with and started painting a different picture with new colors and subject matter. One of the latter organizations is right here in Golden, and is primed to pull one of our local holiday traditions out of the fire and

rework it into a new format that’s going to be safe for everyone this year and keep it going strong.

I’m talking about the Foothills Art Center and its annual 46th Annual Holiday Art Market ( or HART for short.) If you have been reading this column for a long time you already know that this is one of my favorite places to go for my holiday shopping and I was really worried that it might not happen this year. But, they have put together something that is really amazing and probably the best thought out and well organized event that I have seen anywhere this year.

They put a lot of effort into this.

For those of you who haven’t been to the HART, it features dozens of the top local artists selling everything including handcrafted jewelry, woven textile garments, paintings, sculptures, pottery, holiday ornaments, hand made cards and pretty mush anything artistic that you could imagine. The craftsmanship is top notch and all artists are screened to provide you with the highest quality selection of talent in the area.

But, they are also very consciences about keeping everyone, including their artists, staff and volunteers safe this year and have implemented some excellent ideas and changes to their operation.

First of all, admission is always free, but this year you will need to reserve a ticket in advance with a specific time. They are limiting your

visit to one hour, and have a 50 person cap on how many visitors they will allow in at one time. So, they have time slots every half hour with 25 tickets so they can have a bit of overlap to get to the 50 person cap per hour. Thursdays are now Member’s Only days.

They will be requiring masks and social distancing, no exceptions.

Plus they will also be providing hand sanitizer up on your arrival and departure. Also, there will be one-way traffic throughout the event to prevent congestion at some of the narrow points of the building and all staff will be given periodic temperature checks. Here’s where they started thinking outside the box a little bit more. They will be offering a shopping experience through Zoom as well as putting together a limited on-line store that will enable you to shop from home and drop by to pick up your purchased items.

The HART will be open daily starting with a Members Preview on Thursday, November 19 and running through December 29th. For more information and to reserve a ticket go to www.foothillsartcenter.org.

Ralston Valley corrals victory against rival Arvada West

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — Ralston Valley senior Devin McNearney put the finishing touches on what was likely the final game of the season at the North Area Athletic Complex for the Mustangs.

McNearney intercepted a pass from Arvada West junior Xavier Nail on the opening drive of the second half Nov. 12. The two-way player then finished off the drive with a 13-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter.

“That was pretty sweet. He just lobbed it up,” McNearney said of his first interception of his varsity career. “Then the touchdown, that was my big boys up front blocking for me. I love every single one of them. They always get it done.

I really appreciate them.”

Ralston Valley — No. 10 in the final CHSAANow.com Class 5A football rankings — cruised to a 35-7 victory over rival Arvada West (1-5, 0-5 in 5A Jeffco League).

Senior Tyler Roybal got the Mustangs (4-2, 3-1) started with a 1-yard touchdown run to close out the opening drive of the game. However, A-West answered with a nice drive where they had Nail run ‘Wildcat’ for most of the drive.

Junior Cade Russel finished the drive with a 1-yard run.

It was all tied up 7-7 after the first quarter, but it was all Ralston Valley for the final three quarters.

“We kind of expected Arvada West to pull something out of the bag for us specifically,” Ralston Valley senior defensive back Cole Kumpf said of A-West running ‘Wildcat’ to start the game. “We had confidence that we were going to stop it after a little bit.”

After a 23-yard touchdown pass from Ralston Valley ju-

Kumpf had a huge defensive play intercepting A-West sophomore quarterback Ethan Cook in the final minutes before halftime and returning it for a touchdown pushing the lead to 28-7 at halftime.

“I was just in a good spot and I got lucky with the tip,” Kumpf said of the pick-6. “I saw it. Got it in my hands and scored.”

McNearney’s second touchdown with 6:27 left in the third quarter was the only score of the second half.

“It seems like we haven’t put our best foot forward all

year,” Kumpf said. “This was the game we wanted to do it finally.”

It’s been a wild ride for Ralston Valley. Trying to find games after several scheduled opponents had to cancel games against the Mustangs due to COVID issues has been an ongoing issue for Ralston Valley. That included Ralston Valley not playing No. 5 Columbine last week when the Rebels had to be quarantined.

The Mustangs picked up No. 2 Valor Christian for a non-league game to replace Columbine last week. After giving the Eagles a solid test the first half, Valor pulled away in the second half on the way to a 45-7 win.

“We were just trying to

make a better comeback from last week,” Ralston Valley coach Matt Loyd said referring to the loss against Valor.

A-West got off to a good start with a non-league victory over ThunderRidge to kickoff the season. However, the Wildcats are on a 5-game losing streak. That includes close losses to Mullen and Lakewood in conference play.

Ralston Valley had an outside shot on making the 8-team 5A state field. The Mustangs finished at No. 11 in the CHSAA seeding index and along with No. 9 Columbine, was left out of the playoff picture. Pomona was the lone 5A Jeffco team to make the 8-team field.

“A shortened season wasn’t

what I wanted for any one of our seniors,” Loyd said. “(McNearney) had a really good game tonight. He is fun to watch.”

The Mustangs’ two losses were against undefeated and Top-5 ranked teams — Valor and Pomona.

Ralston Valley finished out its season with a non-playoff game against Legacy on Thursday, Nov. 19.

A-West played its Week 7 non-playoff game against Standley Lake, also on Thursday, Nov. 19.

LAKEWOOD — Two huge offensive plays and a gritty defense is what it took for Pomona to claim the Class 5A Jeffco League title Friday, Nov. 13, at Jeffco Stadium.

Pomona — No. 3 in the final CHSAANow.com 5A football rankings — grabbed a 14-11 victory over No. 7 Columbine to finish off an undefeated 6-0 regular season for the Panthers.

The two scoring plays were courtesy of senior Jack Pospisil and junior Dominick Nichols. Pospisil opened the scoring up on the second play from scrimmage. The quarterback weaved his way for a 77-yard touchdown run to put the Panthers up 7-0, less than

a minute into the regular-season finale for both teams.

Columbine (4-1, 3-1 in 5A Jeffco) responded with a 20-yard field goal by senior Adam Tasei on the first play of the second quarter to cut the Panthers’ lead to 7-3.

Nichols put the Panthers up 14-3 midway through the third quarter with a 60-yard punt return for a touchdown.

Pomona did turn the ball over three times to help keep Columbine in the game. The Rebels capitalized on that third turnover to get within a score. Junior Seth Cromwell had a big 41-yard run to get Columbine down to Pomona’s 6-yard line.Then Columbine junior quarterback Brock Zanetell scored on a 1-yard plunge and also ran in a 2-point conversion with 4:01

left to cut Pomona’s lead to 14-11.

It was the only touchdown drive for Columbine as Pomona’s defense was able to slow down the Rebels’ rushing attack for the majority of the night.

The Panthers came up with just the offensive drive they needed, clinging to a 3-point lead. Pomona junior Chase Muller had six straight carries on the ground that totaled 36 yards to drive across midfield. On third down-and-12, Pospisil faked a handoff to Muller and preceded to run 23 yards around the right side to ice the game. The senior quarterback then took a knee on the final play to run out the clock.

The Panthers grabbed the No. 4 seed for the Class 5A state tournament and will face No. 5 Eaglecrest on Friday at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch.

POMONA FROM PAGE 18

The Panthers and Rebels discovered their postseason fate on the morning of Sunday, Nov. 15. Pomona received the No. 4 seed and will play No. 5 Eaglecrest on Friday, Nov. 20, at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch. The playoff game was moved to Valor’s home field to allow fans into the stadium.

Current Jefferson County Public Heath directives do not allow spectators at Jeffco Public School’s stadiums due to the rising COVID-19 cases in the county.

Columbine just failed to make the 8-team field. The Rebels finished just a hair behind Cherokee Trail (4-2) in the CHSAA Seeding Index that determined the state tournament field.

Columbine is scheduled to play a Week 7 non-playoff game against Grandview at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, at Legacy Stadium in Aurora.

Columbine junior Seth Cromwell had the Rebels’ longest run from scrimmage with a 41-yard run in the fourth quarter that set up Columbine’s lone touchdown Nov. 13 at Jeffco Stadium. The Rebels suffered their lone loss of the season with a 14-11 defeat to Pomona. Columbine finished No. 9 in the CHSAA Seeding Index that determined the 8-team field for the state tournament that begins this week.

In pending Case No. 16CW3195, ACWWA seeks to change the Subject Water Right to allow use in another augmentation plan if such use is approved in a separate Water Court decree or SWSP approved by the State Engineer pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-308(4), or successor statute. 3.10.2. Use in ACWWA’s Recharge Projects. ACWWA will use the Subject Water Right for recharge by delivering the water to the recharge facilities located in the Beebe Draw and on 70 Ranch pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 306 Decree.

All Municipal Uses. Water stored in United Reservoir No. 3 under the Subject Water Right may be delivered directly to ECCV’s Water Treatment Plant for treatment and subsequent delivery for all municipal uses, including but not limited to domestic, mechanical, manufacturing, commercial, and industrial, within ACWWA’s present and future service area.

3.10.4. Right of Reuse and Successive Use. In addition to the uses described in paragraphs 3.10.1 through 3.10.3, above, ACWWA has the right after first use, to reuse and successively use water diverted pursuant to the Subject Water Right for the uses described in paragraphs 3.10.1 through 3.10.3, above, within ACWWA’s present and future service area. 3.10.4.1. Use in ECCV Augmentation Plans.

Sources of Substitute Supply in Exchanges.

During this diligence period, ACWWA has filed joint substitute water supply plans (“SWSP”) with ECCV in order to use additional replacement supplies to replace out-of-priority depletions from the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field to facilitate the efficient operation of the Water Supply Project. SWSPs were filed in 2014 (approved April 15, 2015), 2015 (approved April 6, 2016), 2016 (approved May 19, 2017), 2017 (approved March 30, 2018), 2018 (approved March 27, 2019), and 2019 (approved April 6, 2020).

4.6. Protection of Water Rights. ACWWA has regularly monitored the filings of other water users. It has filed statements of opposition to, and has incurred legal and engineering costs, in connection with numerous cases to protect its water rights. Legal fees in the amount of $150,000.00 were expended during the diligence period in water rights protection and opposition on behalf of ACWWA for its Flow Project. 4.7. Opposition of Detrimental Legislation. ACWWA has been actively involved in opposing Colorado State legislation that would negatively impact the operation of its augmentation plans and exchanges. 4.8. ACWWA continues to rely upon and develop the conditional water right described herein and has no intent to abandon them. 5. Names and addresses of owners of the land on which the structures are or will be located, upon which water is or will be stored, or upon which water is or will be placed to beneficial use. United owns both United Reservoir No. 3 and United Diversion Facility No. 3.

Apex Gulch Feeder Ditch: diverts at a point on the south bank of Apex Gulch from whence the southwest corner of Section 10, T4S, R70W of the 6th P.M., bears south 72 degrees, 40 minutes east, approximately 3480 feet, iii. Appropriation Date: December 28, 1990, iv. Rate: 0.05 cfs, conditional. 6. Claims to Make Water Rights Absolute: A. Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir Storage Right and Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir Enlargement Right, During the relevant diligence period Martin Marietta diverted and stored water in priority in the Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir structure. Specifically, during the 2014 Water Year (as shown in Exhibit C¬¬), Martin Marietta diverted into storage, along with carryover storage from prior years, in excess of the Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir structure’s total 147 AF of active storage capacity for in-priority storage in the reservoir. All diversions to storage were made from Jackson Gulch and the Apex Gulch Feeder Ditch and were made during periods of free river conditions, as shown in Exhibit C. As further evidence that the structure was filled to its active storage capacity, Exhibit D is a photograph showing the Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir spillway spilling when the structure was full and the Storage Right and Enlargement Right were in priority on August 8, 2014. By virtue of C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(e) and the evidence presented that Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir was filled to its full as-built capacity in priority, Martin Marietta seeks to make the remaining 3.89 AF of the Storage Right absolute for all decreed beneficial uses and Martin Marietta also seeks to make the entirety of the 27 AF of the Enlargement Right absolute for all decreed beneficial uses. B. Kershaw Ditch Exchange, During the relevant diligence period, Martin Marietta exercised the exchange of Kershaw Ditch water up to Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir. Specifically, during the 2016 Water Year, Martin Marietta exchanged water diverted from the Jackson Gulch and Apex Gulch Feeder Ditch into Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir by leaving its in-priority changed consumptive use credits at the Kershaw Ditch headgate in the river. Beginning on September 1, 2016, Martin Marietta operated the exchange at a rate of 0.052 cfs, as shown in Exhibit E. By virtue of the evidence presented that the Kershaw Ditch Exchange operated in-priority, Martin Marietta now seeks to make 0.052 cfs of the 0.08 cfs Kershaw Ditch Exchange absolute, with the remaining 0.028 cfs to remain conditional. C. Manhart Ditch Exchange, During the relevant diligence period, Martin Marietta exercised the exchange of Manhart Ditch water up to Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir. Specifically, during the 2018 Water Year, Martin Marietta exchanged water diverted from the Jackson Gulch and Apex Gulch Feeder Ditch into Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir by leaving its in-priority changed consumptive use credits at the Manhart Ditch headgate in the river. Beginning on May 8, 2018, Martin Marietta operated the exchange at a rate of 0.043 cfs, as shown in Exhibit F. By virtue of the evidence presented that the Manhart Ditch Exchange operated in-priority, Martin Marietta now claims to make 0.043 cfs of the 0.05 cfs Manhart Ditch Exchange right absolute, with the remaining 0.007 cfs to remain conditional. 7. Claim for a Finding of Reasonable Diligence: The Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir is part of the water supply features associated with Martin Marietta’s Specification Aggregates Quarry in Golden, Colorado (the “Spec Agg Quarry,” formerly referred to as the “ Golden Quarry” in previous decrees). During the relevant diligence period Martin Marietta has expended substantial time, effort, and money managing and improving the water supply for the Spec Agg Quarry, including making the water rights absolute as described above, and other work on the Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir water rights. The activities on which Martin Marietta relies to support its claim for a finding of reasonable diligence include making the above-claimed water rights absolute, engineering analyses of the water rights, acquisition of additional sources of supply of augmentation water for the Spec Agg Quarry, improvement of accounting and record keeping, installation of on-site measuring devices, as well as continuous water right operations and regular water accounting. Among the specific tasks that demonstrate diligence are the following: A. During 2014 Martin Marietta filled the Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir structure to its as-built capacity during free river conditions, which made the remaining 3.89 AF of the Storage Right absolute

and also made absolute the entirety 27 AF Enlargement Right absolute. In 2016 Martin Marietta made 0.052 cfs of the 0.08 cfs Kershaw Ditch Exchange absolute by leaving changed consumptive use credits in the river at the Kershaw Ditch headgate and exchanging the water up to Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir via Jackson Gulch and the Apex Gulch Feeder Ditch. In 2018 Martin Marietta made 0.043 cfs of the 0.05 cfs Manhart Ditch Exchange absolute by leaving changed consumptive use credits in the river at the Manhart Ditch headgate and exchanging the water up to Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir via Jackson Gulch and the Apex Gulch Feeder Ditch. B. In 2016 Martin Marietta constructed a new wash plant at the Spec Agg Quarry at a cost of $3.5 million and a new wheel wash which cost $500,000. The wash plant allows for the further processing of aggregate from the quarry into various products utilized in concrete and asphalt manufacturing.

This part of the operation utilizes water from Magic Mountain Reservoir to wash the aggregate.

This water is then delivered to a series of concrete wash bays and a holding tank where flocculent is added to the system. This allows the sediments to be removed and the water to be reused at the wash plant. The wheel wash sprays water on each of the aggregate trucks, collecting potential sediment that may be on the trucks before they leave the facility. This water is then pumped to the holding tank as mentioned above, sediment is separated from the water and the water is reused. In 2019 a new aggregate crusher was installed at the facility at a cost of $1.5 million. The primary crusher is where rock is directly delivered via haul trucks to the plant. The primary crusher crushes material down to 6-8” material. This material then progresses to additional sections of the plant where material is separated, sized, and further processed into various products utilized in the construction industry. The primary crusher is the first step in refining the material at the plant and utilizes various spray bars to wet the material while the material is being delivered and crushed. The foregoing activities and investments demonstrate Martin Marietta’s continued need for the subject water rights and prove that it can and will perfect the remaining conditional water rights. C. Between 2016 and 2019 Martin Marietta produced over 15.2 million tons of aggregate from the Spec Agg Quarry, requiring consistent beneficial use of the subject water rights for processing. This proves Martin Marietta’s continued intent and ability to perfect the subject conditional water rights so that it has a reliable water supply for its mining operations. D. During the relevant diligence period, Martin Marietta paid more than $200,000 to water engineering and other consultants regarding water supply matters related to the Spec Agg Quarry.

Engineering tasks performed include but are not limited to ensuring adequate operational supplies, development of and technical support for Martin Marietta’s augmentation plan amendment decreed in Case No. 13CW3053, completing a liner test for the Spec Agg Quarry and gaining approval from the Division Engineer, updating of the water accounting system, evaluation of additional water supplies, development of annual lease schedules, installation and maintenance of telemetry to allow remote collection of reservoir inflow and water level data, measurement structure design and measurement equipment installation, assistance in negotiation of a long-term lease agreement, site visits to ensure proper functioning of measuring devices, and water supply operations and accounting. Martin Marietta also paid legal fees for the prosecution of the augmentation plan amendment decreed in Case No. 13CW3053, and negotiations with Molson-Coors Beverage Co. for extension of an existing water-lease between Molson-Coors Beverage Co. and Martin Marietta’s predecessor in interest to the Spec Agg Quarry facilities. 8.

Names and addresses of owner(s) or reputed owner(s) of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: Martin Marietta is the current owner of the diversion and storage structures that are the subject of this application, as well as the land upon which such structures are located. WHEREFORE, Martin Marietta respectfully requests that the Water Court enter the following findings: A. The remaining 3.89 AF of the Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir Storage Right is made absolute for all decreed beneficial uses; B. The entirety of the 27 AF of the Magic Mountain Dam and Reservoir Enlargement Right is made absolute for all decreed beneficial uses; C. 0.052 cfs of the remaining conditional portion of the Kershaw Ditch Exchange is made absolute for all decreed beneficial uses; D. 0.043 cfs of the remaining conditional portion of the Manhart Ditch Exchange is made absolute for all decreed beneficial uses; E. Martin Marietta exercised reasonable diligence during the diligence period in the development of all water rights that are the subject of this Application, and all portions thereof not made absolute are continued as conditional in full force and effect for all remaining amounts and uses; F. Granting such other relief as may be appropriate and consistent with this Application. (10 pages + Exhibits)

APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHT AND PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION INCLUDING APPROPRIATIVE RIGHT OF SUBSTITUTION AND EXCHANGE IN CLEAR CREEK AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES. 1. Name, mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number of Applicants: Juniper Mountain House, LLC, c/o Ashley LaRoque, Alea Kilgore, 30500 US Highway 40, Evergreen, CO 80439, ashley@junipermountainhouse.com, alea@junipermountainhouse.com, (303) 800-8193; (203) 470-964. 2. Name of structure to be augmented: Juniper Mountain House well currently under well permit number 166383. The well is not currently decreed, but a water right for it is sought herein. Per the well permit, the legal description of the well is: at or within 200 feet of a point within the southwest

quarter of the southwest quarter of Section 9, Township 4 South, Range 71 West, of the 6th P.M., Jefferson County, Colorado, 775 feet from the south section line and 445 feet from the west section line. The UTM coordinates (per the DWR Map Viewer) are Northing 4395736.1 meters, Easting 470151.7 meters (Datum: NAD83; UTM Zone 13). The well is on Applicant’s property (“Property”) described as approximately 9.26 acres in the above-described southwest quarter of the southwest quarter of Section 9, Township 4 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M. The legal description and a general location map of the Property are contained, respectively, in Exhibits A and B, which are attached to the application filed with the Court and incorporated herein by reference. Applicant requests that the augmentation plan for which a decree is sought apply also to any replacement, supplemental, or additional wells that may subsequently be permitted as necessary to allow Applicant to obtain the water supply for the Property described herein. 3. Water rights to be used for augmentation: 0.25 acre-feet of water per year available to Applicant pursuant to a Water Supply Agreement (“Agreement”) with the City of Idaho Springs, a Colorado municipal corporation organized under the laws of the State of Colorado and acting by and through its Idaho Springs Water Activity Enterprise (“Idaho Springs”). Idaho Springs is the owner and operator of the Idaho Springs Reservoir, also known as Chicago Creek Reservoir (the “Reservoir”), located on Chicago Creek, a tributary of Clear Creek, in Clear Creek County, Colorado. More particularly, the Reservoir is generally located in the west half of S6, T5S, R73Wof the 6th P.M., and the east half of S1, T5S, R74W, of the 6th P.M. Water stored in the Reservoir was decreed to Idaho Springs by the District Court for Water Division 1 in Case Nos. 84CW508 and 84CW671, and is decreed for use for augmentation purposes. Pursuant to the Agreement, Idaho Springs leases and agrees to provide to Applicant one-quarter (1/4) of an acre-foot of water (“Subject Water”) each year during the term of the Agreement, subject to the limitations, terms, and conditions stated in the agreement. The Subject Water will be delivered by Idaho Springs by measured direct flow releases from the Reservoir, or, in Idaho Springs’ discretion, from such other water rights owned by or otherwise available to Idaho Springs which may be lawfully used to supply water to Applicant under the terms and conditions of the Agreement. The term of the Agreement is for twenty-five (25) years, and the Agreement automatically renews for additional five (5) year terms unless, within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current term, either party provides written notice to the other party that the term of the Agreement shall not be extended.

The location of the Reservoir is marked on Exhibit C, which is a USGS topographic map, attached to the application filed with the Court and incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to C.R.S. Section 37-92-305(8)(c),the decree sought herein may provide procedures to allow additional or alternative sources of augmentation or replacement water, including water leased or purchased on a yearly or less frequent basis, to be used in the plan after the initial decree is entered if the use of the additional or alternative sources is part of a substitute water supply plan approved pursuant to C.R.S. Section 37-92-305(8) or if such sources are decreed for such use or are otherwise lawfully available. 4. Statement of plan for augmentation: 4.1 Water Demands: Applicant owns and operates Juniper Mountain House, which is a lodging facility near Evergreen, Colorado. The facility currently has five guest rooms, two owner’s bedrooms, and a wide range of common areas. Applicant is expanding the facility to add up to 8 micro-cabin structures. As expanded, the facility’s maximum occupancy will increase to 28 persons. The total water usage at the expanded facility is estimated to be 1.64 acre-feet per year, consisting of the following uses: commercial drinking and sanitary, hot tub and fountain purposes. The water usage will cause total use at the facility to exceed the limits of exempt commercial well permit number 166383 that presently supplies the facility. Applicant will apply for a new well permit to be issued in accordance with the final decree entered in this proceeding. Applicant reserves the right to revise the proposed annual amounts and uses without having to amend or republish this application, provided that any resulting revised consumptive use amount is within the amount that can be augmented by the replacement supply proposed herein. 4.2 Stream depletions and Replacement: The total estimated consumptive use is estimated to be 0.165 acre-feet per year, comprised of 0.164 acre-feet from commercial drinking and sanitary and 0.001 acre-feet from hot tub and fountain use. Sewage treatment will be provided by a nonevaporative septic system.

Return flows will be approximately ninety percent of total water usage at the facility. Applicant estimates that stream depletions will accrue to Beaver Brook, a tributary of Clear Creek, a tributary of the South Platte River, and that return flows will accrue to the same stream system in amounts sufficient to replace depletions. The depletions from well pumping will affect a reach of Beaver Brook in the SE1/4 of the NW1/4 of S8, T4S, R71W, of the 6th P.M (“Depletion Reach”), which location is discernible in Exhibit B. Applicant will take credit for return flows and will replace out-of-priority depletions to the stream caused by withdrawals from the well.

To replace such depletions, augmentation water will be delivered by Idaho Springs by measured direct flow releases from the Reservoir, or, in Idaho Springs’ discretion, from such other water rights owned by or otherwise available to Idaho Springs which may be lawfully used to supply water to Applicant under the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Applicant acknowledges that transit losses may be assessed by the Division Engineer on the delivery of such augmentation water. Due to the small volume of annual stream depletions projected to occur under this plan, instantaneous stream depletions may be aggregated and replaced by one or more releases of short duration. 4.3 Appropriative right of substitution and exchange: The augmentation supply will be delivered to the confluence of Beaver Brook and Clear Creek, which - per the DWR Map Viewer - is located in the NE1/4 of the NW1/4 of S 3, T4S, R71W, of the 6th P.M. The location where stream depletions from the well pumping affect the stream system is the Depletion Reach described in section 4.2, above, which is upstream of the location where the augmentation water is delivered. Since the location of the augmentation supply delivery is below the location of the Depletion Reach, an exchange is involved. The reach of the exchange is from the confluence of Beaver Brook with Clear Creek to the most upstream point of the Depletion Reach. The date of appropriation

of the substitution and exchange is October 30, 2020. The appropriation was initiated by Applicant’s formation of the intent to appropriate followed by actions to further and give notice of the appropriation including, but not limited to, the filing of this application. The maximum rate of the exchange will be determined herein and is presently estimated to be 0.05 cubic feet per second.

The maximum volume of the exchange will be determined herein, and is presently estimated to be 0.10 acre-feet. Without amending the application, Applicant reserves the right to revise the rate and volume of the exchange as necessary to reflect the well pumping and augmentation operations proposed herein. The source of substitute supply for the exchange is the 0.25 acre-feet per year available to Applicant pursuant to the Agreement with Idaho Springs or such other replacement water that may be added to the plan pursuant to C.R.S. Section 37-92-305(8). The proposed use is augmentation of the well depletions described herein. The exchange will operate to replace depletions to the flow of water in the stream system as the depletions occur. The exchange will be operated and administered with a priority date of October 30, 2020, at the maximum flow rate determined herein. If the claim for an exchange is withdrawn for any reason, Applicant’s augmentation plan will nevertheless cause depletion of the exchange reach described above, and future water rights in the exchange reach that are junior to an appropriation date of September 22, 1992 with an administrative priority date of October 30, 2020 will not be allowed to call out Applicant’s well pumping and/or augmentation plan. 5. Underground water right: Applicant seeks an underground water right for the Juniper Mountain House well described above in section 2. The name and permit information, as well as the location of the well, are described in section 2. The location of the well is shown on Exhibit B attached to the water court application. The source of water is groundwater, tributary to Beaver Brook, tributary to Clear Creek, tributary to the South Platte River.

The depth of the well is approximately 340 feet.

The date of appropriation is September 22, 1992.

The appropriation was initiated by formation of the intent to construct a well to supply water to a lodging facility, followed by application for, and granting of, well permit 166383 on September 22, 1992.

The well was drilled in January of 1993, and since that time water pumped from the well has been applied to the beneficial use of a water supply for a lodging facility. The amount claimed is 15 gallons per minute (0.033 cubic feet per second), absolute.

The use of the well is water supply for the lodging facility. The well will operate pursuant to the augmentation plan to be decreed in this case. 6.

Name(s) of the owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure or existing storage pool is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored: Not applicable. WHEREFORE, Applicant requests the Court to enter a decree confirming the underground water right claimed herein and approving the plan for augmentation including appropriative right of substitution and exchange described herein and finding that the exercise of the underground water right and the augmentation plan will not cause injury to any owner of or persons entitled to use water under a vested water right or a decreed conditional water right if approved on the terms and conditions proposed and/or to be determined herein, and to grant such other relief as the Court deems proper under the circumstances.

Number of pages of application: five, plus verification page.

Every day, the government makes decisions that can affect your life. Whether they are decisions on zoning, taxes, new businesses or myriad other issues, governments play a big role in your life.

Governments have relied on newspapers like this one to publish public notices since the birth of the nation. Local newspapers remain the most trusted source of public notice information. This newspaper publishes the information you need to stay involved in your community.

Notices are meant to be noticed.

Read your public notices and get involved!
