After steadily increasing for most of the past two months, Jeffco’s two-week COVID19 case counts began trending down some at the start of December and have since remained lower than the peak they reached in November.

The two-week new case numbers peaked at 6,124 on Nov. 21, which was up from around 2,567 on Nov. 1. The numbers then began trending downward, reaching 5,372 on Dec. 10.

“We could attribute that (dip) to the changes that were made and how we’re moved on the state COVID-19 dial to Level Red and some of the mitigation strategies that were put into place before we were moved into Level Red,” said Jody Erwin, the deputy director of Jefferson County Public Health, in an update provided to the Jeffco commissioners on Dec. 7.

However, Erwin said county public health officials were at that point still assuming that the numbers would soon show a “big uptick” as COVID-19 cases that were contracted at Thanksgiving gatherings.He also said similar increases are expected following Christmas and New Year’s.

“It will be interesting to see what happens over the next week to 10 days and where that goes but we are all anticipating big increases in cases and hospitalizations,” said Erwin.

But the numbers did not seem to indicate such a trend was occurring as of Dec. 10, two weeks after the Thanksgiving holiday,

Jeffco commissioners OK six new townhomes off of South Golden Road Townhomes will be built on site of two single-family homes

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Jeffco Board of Commissioners has approved a rezoning that will allow six townhomes to be constructed on two neighboring lots near South Golden Road in unincorporated Jeffco.

The townhomes will be built on lots at 1145 and 1175 Pike Street., the current site of two one-story homes. The properties are next

to a drive-thru liquor store to the south, a food distribution to the west and homes to the north.

Property owner Thomas Huseas, an Arvada resident who attended Colorado School of Mines and formerly lived in one of the properties, was originally seeking to rezone the properties to construct 10 townhomes, but later reduced the planned number to eight.

However, he agreed to further reduce that number to six during the commissioner’s rezoning hearing on Dec. 8 after Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper suggested she would only vote for the proposal if the number of units were reduced to that number. The Jefferson County Planning Commission

previously voted 6-2 in favor of recommending the rezoning for the eight-unit proposal.

Concerns about the impact the increase in density that would result if the rezoning were allowed would have on the character of the surrounding neighborhood dominated the hearing.

Jeffco Planner Russell Clark said the planning department was recommending against the rezoning. Clark said those findings were based on the proposal being four times more dense than the density allowed for the property in the county’s comprehensive master plan. Efforts to mitigate the impact of the townhomes on surrounding landowners were also insufficient,

he said.

Huseas, however, argued that the development would benefit the neighborhood by updating the properties. He also said he was planning on undertaking efforts to create a “buffer” with 10-foot trees and six-foot fencing around the property that would provide a stronger barrier between the residential neighborhood and commercial businesses than currently exists.

All four of the neighbors who made public comment spoke against the rezoning.

Samantha Reese said density has already been increasing in the SEE TOWNHOMES, P18

a trend which was consistent with other counties in the Denver metro area, State epidemeologist Rachel Herlihy to told the Denver Post that the state was not seeing a trend asscoiated with Thanksgiving, although it was still possible for such a trend to show up later.

As of Dec. 10, there were also 241 people with COVID-19 hospitalized in Jeffco, more than at any other time in the pandemic. Still, Jeffco’s hospitals had not yet reached capacity, he said.

“We are not full at this point, which is a surprise honestly,” said Erwin. “We are pushing about 90% of capacity in our Jeffco hospitals for both ICU and regular beds, which is getting up there but not at the point yet where we are having to look at moving to surge sites or anything like that.”

Erwin said staffing, which recently has been cited as a greater concern than bed capacity as an increasing number of hospital workers come down with COVID-19, also “appears to be OK.” During the update, Commissioner Libby Szabo repeatedly expressed concern

that Jeffco residents are becoming frustrated and “losing hope” as they do everything they are told to do in regards to decreasing the spread only to see cases continue to rise.

But Erwin responded that case trends suggest that people aren’t adhering enough to health guidelines to slow the spread enough to make lifting restrictions an option and brought up the example of friends of

several friends of his who tested positive for COVID-19 after spending Thanksgiving together.

“We’ve seen that a lot where when people are out in public, they are doing the right thing but then they are going home and having these gatherings and sitting around a table eating with people,” said Erwin.

Erwin also said he understood that adhering to social distancing guidelines is

“hard, frustrating and difficult” but that the county will need to find the right balance between the need for people to participate in work, school and other essential activities and that of keeping the virus at manageable levels.

However, if hospitalizations start to decrease enough to decrease the pressure on hospitals even if overall case numbers remain high, that would

likely be reason to reduce restrictions, he said.

“That’s a big piece of it for me is keeping our healthcare workers safe and not overwhelmed,” said Erwin. “As soon as we start seeing our hospitals saying `we are doing fine. This is business as usual’ then regardless of what the cases look like at that point if the severity is not terrible that is going to put us in a different place.”

Summer is likely timetable for most to get vaccine Colorado to start with workers in health care, residents of nursing homes

BY JESSE PAUL AND JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

The general public in Colorado likely won’t have access to a coronavirus vaccine until the summer of 2021, state officials said, though inoculations for health-care workers and nursing home residents could start as early as this week.

A distribution plan unveiled Dec. 9 by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment prioritizes health-care workers, namely those who interact with COVID-19 patients, and nursing home residents and staff for the first doses of

vaccine in what’s being referred to as “Phase 1A.” Since coronavirus reached Colorado early this year, nearly 1,400 residents of nursing homes and senior care centers have died from COVID-19. More than 5,700 nursing home staff have caught the disease and as many as 10 have been killed by it.

In “Phase 1B,” which is expected to continue through the winter, first responders — like firefighters and police officers — and people who work in home health, hospice care and dental settings will be prioritized to receive vaccines.

A vaccine developed by Pfizer, which requires two doses, could be approved for emergency use by the Food and Drug Administration this week. Another vaccine being manufactured by Moderna, which also requires two doses, could be

available as soon as a week after the Pfizer vaccine gets the OK from federal regulators.

“We know that in the early weeks and months of vaccine distribution, supplies will be limited. This have been a historic effort to create this vaccine in a record period of time,” said Scott Bookman, Colorado’s coronavirus incident commander.

“And while we’re going to get there, it’s going to take many months to get this out to the general public.”

Colorado officials have been racing to prepare for the arrival of the vaccine, running tests and developing protocols to ensure the state doesn’t waste any doses. CDPHE and Gov. Jared Polis’ office are also working to ensure the vaccine is stored securely and can’t be stolen or tampered with.

“The vaccine is really a gateway to the end of the pandemic,” Polis

How to Downsize Safely and Effectively in Your Senior Years

Are you thinking that now’s the time to leave your big-house life behind? If so, you’re in luck. Despite the pandemic, the real estate market is strong, interest rates are low, and it’s still a great time to sell and buy. But you can’t go into the process blindly. Here are some tips to get you started on the right track.

First on your to-do list: Work with an experienced agent like those of us at Golden Real Estate. After all, an agent who knows the area can price your home correctly and help you find the right replacement home for you. We know the local market and whether a neighborhood is seniorfriendly. You can ask us questions and get knowledgeable answers about local amenities, such as public transportation, fitness centers, and local senior facilities that will enrich your life.

If you prefer to downsize into a rental unit within a senior community, we can advise you on those communities and that process too, so feel free to ask us.

We can also help you determine a budget. As a buyer, keep in mind that it’s a seller’s market, and having us on your side can help get your foot in the door. If you’re moving locally, we can also save you a bundle with our free moving truck and our in-house movers.

You want to take a look at your budget to determine what you can afford. Our preferred lenders offer free affordability calculators. They allow you to input data, such as your home price, down payment, and monthly expenses. This can help you determine your potential future living expenses.

Once you have an agent and a price range, it’s time to compare what you can afford with what you need, and then make adjustments to your list as necessary. Many seniors, according to Home Tips For Women, look for features including those which lower utility costs.

These, along with things like single-level

Here’s a Good Resource for Seniors

Colorado doesn’t rank high in the percentage of our population that’s 65 and over. In fact, seniors represent only 14.2% of our population, ranking Colorado 46th among the 50 states.

Recently I was made aware of a website with tons of Colorado-specific information for seniors. Here’s the website’s address: https://www.seniorhousingnet.com/ seniors/senior-living-us/colorado

living and wide doorways, allow for greater mobility, an important consideration if you’ve already begun to experience mobility issues.

Something to keep in mind during the downsizing process is that moving into a smaller home will require downsizing your belongings as well. Once you have chosen your future home, you can evaluate the belongings in your current one. This is an emotional process which takes patience, and, ideally, you’ll have cooperation from your friends and family. It’s often best to give certain things to your children and grandchildren now so you’re not tight on space in your new home. You can use our truck for that, too (and for runs to Goodwill).

If you’re moving outside the metro area, choosing the right moving company is something else that deserves special attention. Movers charge different prices, even for what appear to be the same services. Your moving company will factor everything from whether you need an entire truck to how far you're moving, to the overall weight of your household goods into the price. Previous clients have given us feedback on their experiences which we can share with you.

Finally, make your move while you’re in good health and don’t wait until you have to move. And let yourself enjoy the process. Your retirement is a time of change and to feel all the excitement associated with it. Moving is not always easy, but the end result of downsizing can be more financial freedom and better quality of life during your senior years.

Why Do Online Publishers Keep Using ‘Portrait’ Format?

It’s surprising to me that online newsletters and ‘magazines’ keep publishing in a vertical 8½x11 or ‘portrait’ format instead of in the horizontal or ‘landscape’ format of the typical computer screens on which most subscribers read their work.

When the publication is single column, portrait format might work, but if the page has two or more columns, the reader has to scroll down and up to read from one column to the next. If the newsletter were is landscape format, this annoyance would be eliminated. You could view the full page.

Please, online publishers, join me in changing to landscape format out of consideration of your readers!

said Dec. 10 “We can see the end in sight.”

“Phase 2” of Colorado’s vaccine plan is expected to begin in the spring and include essential workers — like teachers, grocery store staff and meatpacking employees — and people over 65 years old. Anyone with a preexisting condition, like diabetes, chronic lung disease, heart disease and cancer, or who is immunocompromised will also get a vaccine during this phase.

Anyone between the ages of 18 and 64 without high-risk conditions will be vaccinated in “Phase 3.” Bookman said it’s unclear how long the third phase will last and that it depends on how much supply Colorado receives from the federal government.

Look to Us, Not Zillow, for an Accurate Valuation of Homes

Downsizing as a senior presents a significant lifestyle change, but it’s one to embrace. If you still have questions, don’t be afraid to reach out to us. My broker associates and I (see below) are here to make the process as seamless as possible and can be a valuable resource not to be overlooked. I have posted this article at www.GoldenREblog.com, where it has useful links. Previous columns on this and other topics you’ll find useful can be found at www.JimSmithColumns.com.

It’s common for people to put stock in Zillow’s “Zestimates” of their home’s value, but any Realtor can provide a much more accurate estimate of your home’s value. Realtors have access to my favorite valuation tool, the Realtor Property Resource or RPR, as well as to the MLS’s Realist tool, which non-Realtors can access. (Not all agents are Realtors.) Also, we can use the MLS to create a spreadsheet of all the comparable homes which have been on the market in your area.

Up for Growth Action describes itself as the only federal advocacy campaign focused solely on breaking down the barriers to affordable and market-rate housing.

“Housing was on the ballot on November 3,” said Mike Kingsella, executive director of the organization. “The next Congress and new administration cannot afford to ignore the immediate and longterm challenges of housing in the United States, because we have a housing shortage that affects nearly every aspect of Americans’ lives. We will be on the front lines of advancing a bipartisan, prohousing agenda that increases access to high-quality housing in vibrant neighborhoods at prices all Americans can afford,” he said. Their work “supports the creation of affordable homes, jobs, and transitoriented development — all critical to our country's economic recovery and growth.”

Up for Growth Action says America’s housing crisis is driven by two separate, but interrelated challenges: the nation’s increasing income inequality that prevents widespread access to quality and affordable housing, and a shortage of homes, requiring proactive legislation. The organization focuses on policies that enable communities to build housing needed to meet the country’s 7.3-million-home shortage, as shown by Up for Growth’s research .

“Improving housing accessibility and affordability across the full spectrum of American society is critical in transforming the communities in which we live, work, play and invest,” said Chuck Leitner. “Driving the real estate investment

and operating industry’s deeper engagement in addressing these and other housing issues is fundamental in the process and is why our mission is so important."

Up for Growth Action supports policies focused on tearing down systemic barriers to housing development such as exclusionary zoning, and increasing access to capital for affordable housing development.

The organization promotes what it calls “accessible growth” – prioritizing housing production in areas of high economic opportunity, areas that leverage investments in transportation and infrastructure, and in areas where jobs already exist.

Though a relatively new organization, Up for Growth Action already boasts progress in enacting its legislative agenda. In my Oct. 15th column I wrote about its YIMBY (Yes in my Backyard) proposal that was passed by the US House of Representatives but stalled in the Republicancontrolled Senate. Other housing proposals advanced by the organization are included in the House-passed Moving Forward Act. Though primarily focused on federal policy, earlier this year it led the effort to pass a California law projected to add 200,000 new homes in the next five years.

The incoming Biden-Harris administration has already outlined a comprehensive housing plan that is aligned with Up for Growth Action, including a focus on reducing exclusionary zoning to increase housing stock, direct investment in housing, and recognizing the relationship between where people live and their overall wellbeing.

Up for Growth Promotes Affordable Housing Nationwide

City finalizing agreement to lease Astor House to Foothills Art Center City council chooses gallery proposal over non-profit hub concept

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The future of Golden’s historic Astor House appears ready to be decided as the Golden city council has indicated that it is close to finalizing a lease of the house to the Foothills Art Center, and will likely do so in January.

On Dec. 10, the city council discussed the details of a document that would lease the house to the Foothills Art Center for a period of 30 years. Approval of that lease was recommended by Golden Economic Community and Economic Development Director Steve Glueck, who the council charged with leading the process of finding a tenant for the house that would utilize the house to benefit the community.

That process began in July after the city received two unsolicited proposals for use of the house, which has sat empty for eight years. Foothills Art Center’s proposal called for the structure to be turned into a flexible gallery and gathering space while the Golden Civic Foundation proposed to turn it into a flexible space that could include office space and other resources for Golden nonprofit organizations.

After a process in which the city

asked for, but did not receive, other proposals, the city council reviewed the two proposals that were received and ultimately directed city staff to move forward with coming to terms on a lease with the Foothills Art Center.

30-year lease

Under the lease, to begin in 2021 and run for 30 years, the Foothills Art Center would have the rest of 2021 to make plans for how it will

convert the house into the arts facility. Those changes would be reviewed by both the city council and historical commission, which will have the discretion to approve or deny all proposed alterations to the house.

According to the proposed lease, all improvements to the structure must comply with historic preservation standards outlined by the US Department of the Interior.

The proposed lease also outlines several deadlines that the Foothills

Art Center will be expected to meet during 2021 in order for the project to continue. Construction will then be expected to start and finish during 2021.

“During the first year either side can terminate the lease with very little notice,” said Glueck. Once they start construction, the lease is more firm.”

Glueck said the lease would likely SEE ASTOR, P5

only be terminated by Foothills Art Center if it was having trouble meeting the milestones in the lease or securing funds to pay the improvements. The art center must secure 75% of the funding it will need, before starting improvement work.

The rent will be $150 in the second year of the lease and $1 a year afterward with no payments due in the first year. The city had sought an agreement that would allow the house to be leased out for a community purpose while the city kept ownership.

In addition to the lease, the city is also requiring that Foothills Art

Center’s director sign a “right of first refusal” document, which would require that Foothills Art Center offer the city the same price and terms it would offer any other buyer in the event it wants to sell its existing historic properties at 822 15th Street Foothill’s current art gallery space) and 1510 Washington Avenue, a property known as the Unger House that is currently being leased to the Sherpa House.

Foothills Art Center has indicated that it plans to keep using its current gallery and sell the Unger House to Sherpa House, which plans to retain the historic structure.

But on Dec. 5, Golden’s firefighters showed a pandemic was no reason to underestimate them when they delivered a firetruck load of toys — nearly 80 — in total to the shop, which provides families in need a chance to purchase holiday gifts for their children at “garage sale” prices.

Priestly said the fire rescue had originally been planning to do a food drive but later switched to a toy drive after being told by BGoldn, the local organization that has been providing food to those in need since

the start of the pandemic, that the biggest need was for holiday gifts.

During the monthlong drive, the fire department collected both toys and moneys that were used to purchase toys from Kohls. The monetary donations totaled about $1,500.

“It went unbelievable and just very humbling to see how much money and toys we raised,” said Priestly. “And that the tough times some of the people on the department are going through with COVID-19 didn’t stop them from donating money or toys.”

According to its Facebook page, the Miracle Shop, run out of Calvary Church, had collected more than 1,400 toys as of Dec. 6.

Reverse Mortgage: The Lifesaving Help You’ve Been Looking For

by Matt Witt

I

s your mortgage payment “strangling” you? Are you worried about which bills to pay on your fixed income?

Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the lifesaving help you have been seeking.

With a government-insured reverse mortgage, you can pay off your current mortgage, eliminate your monthly mortgage payment* and get the budget breathing-room you need. Like so many seniors right here in Colorado have discovered, not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

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

To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity. Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not.

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

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

Pride of the Golden Lions moving to Arizona Club’s longest serving member given a special send-off STAFF REPORT

Lee McBride, 86, may not have been born in Golden, but you’d never know it. A graduate of Denver’s North High School, McBride moved to Golden 68 years ago to take a job at Foss Drug, where he worked from 1952 until 1998.

Almost immediately, Lee became an active volunteer in Golden, joining the Golden Jaycees and then the Golden Lions Club. He spent 64 years in the Lions and is its longest serving member.

Now, however, Lee and his wife, Twila, are moving to Buckeye, Arizona, seeking both a lower altitude and warmer climate. Unwilling to let them sneak out of town, the Golden Lions Club arranged a surprise drive-by of his home in north Golden on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 5. Leading the procession of over 30 fellow Lions in their personal cars, were numerous Golden Fire Department vehicles (including fire engines) and four Golden Police cars.

Lee was a volunteer firefighter with the Golden Fire Department for 20 years, serving for three years as Assistant Fire Chief. A longtime member of the Golden Chamber of Commerce representing Foss

Drug, he served as the chamber’s president in 1964 to 1965. During the drive-by, Lee was presented with a personalized street sign and a plaque recognizing his service to the community.

Within the Lions Club, Lee served in every office in the club over the years. In 1965 he became the youngest president of the club. He is a Melvin Jones Fellow, the highest honor of Lions International.

Lee felt the club had too much money and supported developing Lions Park, starting with paying for the asphalt for the tennis courts, the fence around the courts, and installing the nets.

He has many fond memories of the building projects around the City of Golden: Lions Park gazebos, restrooms, storage buildings; and gazebos at various parks around the City, etc.

His fondest memory is of putting decking and shake shingles on the octagon Ulysses Park Core Building in 1984. They included a weathervane with a Golden Lions logo that could be seen from every ball field.

The vane lasted three years until it became a victim of the frequent wind gusts. He always enjoyed the work parties to create something for the benefit of the citizens of Golden.

Celebrated bake shop still grateful Covid has been a hurdle but the community has rallied to fill the gap

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lost in the plight of restaurant owners being hammered by COVID-19 shutdowns and cutbacks, are the equally devastating toll they’re taking on small vendors who supply restaurants with delicious specialties. One such vendor gained a reputation as a prodigious purveyor of fine artisan breads and pastries through decades of hard work and dedication to craft.

Grateful Bread has been putting authentic loaves, boules, bâtards and more on tables of some of the metro area’s most well-known eateries since 2005. Now, with COVID-19 rates rising, and takeout the only option for most restaurants still operating, the storied bakery is kneading all the dough it can get.

“We’re just starting to determine how bad the hit has been (since the most recent halt to indoor dining).

The wholesale was down by 85% at one point after the first shutdown,” said Founder and Head Baker, Jeff Cleary. “Then retail started picking up and outdoor dining in the summer helped.”

He said they finally made a small profit again in October for the first time since March, but that was short-lived.

A trained chef and successful restauranteur, Cleary has been part of the Denver food scene since 1992. His baking history goes back to when he worked as a chef, making bread for his restaurants, and partnering with French pastry chef Pascal Trompeau to open the original location of the fabled Trompeau Bakery near DU. In 2002, Cleary and his wife, Kathy Mullen, opened awell-reviewed restaurant, Intrigue, but an economic downturn and a massive spring blizzard in 2003 made it hard to keep the business afloat for more than a few years.

They sold it in 2005 and the rest, as

oven into the Grateful Bread Company. Cleary baked six days a week while Mullen worked other jobs to support the new endeavor. In 2008, having outgrown the space, they relocated to their current digs on the border of Lakewood and Golden and have been building the business ever since.

From the beginning, Cleary and Mullen have held firm to the goal of hand-shaping every loaf, hand-rolling every pastry and using the best ingredients they can gather, refusing to cut corners or quality.

That philosophy rings true — even in a global crisis.

“Staffing was tough before the pandemic, because there was a labor shortage in Denver,” Cleary said.

“After Covid, there were a lot of skilled people laid-off around the country, so I was actually trying to hire people because it was very difficult to find skilled bakers. And we were just getting to the point where we were stabilizing — not making money, but stabilizing and then this [latest shutdown] happened.”

Cleary and Mullen said they’re going to add a second retail day, but instead of people lining up and

Workers pull orders and ring up customers at Grateful Bread in Golden.

waiting as they do on Saturdays, there will be online pre-orders that customers can pick up on Thursdays.

As much demand as there is from the public for their baked goods, opening more than two retail days per week would simply be impossible, according to Mullen. Their business model has always been one that focuses on wholesale customers, and logistically, they’re just not designed to be a full-time retail bakery.

But both Cleary and Mullen agree the retail customers have been what’s kept them going through the pandemic.

“We started (retail) at the Cherry Creek Farmers Market in 2008, and then when we stopped, people still wanted to be able to buy things,” Mullen said.

“So it started really small.

At first we were doing the Saturday retail once every three months, and then it was once a month and now

it’s every week. Our customers have been amazing, how supportive they’ve been.

We’re really grateful to have such great customers.”

Prior to the beginning of the pandemic, hour-long waits in line were commonplace. But Mullen said as soon as Covid started, she got a ticket machine and a megaphone, allowing folks to wait for their goodies in a more socially distanced way.

They also have a line monitor to make sure there’s no

more than six people waiting indoors at a time and masks are being worn.

“It’s been amazing. This summer it was like a carnival out there. People were bringing lawn chairs and pulling tickets an hour and a half before we opened, so our retail has about doubled,” Mullen said. “We made 3500 items last Saturday and sold out of almost everything. And I hate for people to have to wait. We try to keep the wait down to under an hour, but some days it’s at least a couple of hours.”

Mullen said starting Dec. 17, they’re going to allow people to pre-order from a scaled-back list of items and then pick up on Thursday afternoons without waiting in line. She said it should help ease the pressure on the Saturday crowds and help further offset the plummeting wholesale orders.

As for the future, like everyone, they’re hoping things get back to normal soon. Cleary said he’s confident they can ride out the current storm but if the indoor dining ban lasts several more months, he’d be forced to cut back on staff, something he doesn’t want to do.

Grateful Bread’s retail shop is open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 pm, but do yourself a favor and get there early.

Music won’t stay silent, for better or worse QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

W

hat’s science got to do with it?

What’s science but a secondhand emotion?

Music, eventually, finds its way into almost everything, including a pandemic. The same is true for all of the arts.

Visual artists, filmmakers, writers, and others have been reacting to COVID-19 ever since it began to hit America and, in many ways, limit Americans.

Musicians have responded to dire conditions, authority, wars, prejudice, and innumerable hardships forever.

Some of us may have been initiated by Woody Guthrie’s politically charged anthems. He also wrote “This Land is Your Land.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR For the record

This continued assault on our democracy in attempting to overturn the election to assuage Trump’s ego is beyond pathetic and crosses into dangerous territory. None of this could take place without the supine and cowardly majority of the Republican Party who refuse to defend the Constitution while caving into Trump’s attack on our democracy. Time for this to stop!

Trump lost by a lot with only himself to blame. Every President faces a crisis and Trump, a man without an ounce of empathy and 20,000+ lies to his credit, was obviously unable to conduct a competent strategy to combat a virus taking lives equivalent to a 9/11 a day! By just endorsing mask wearing, he could’ve shown leadership and understanding of the problem. In turn, tens of thousands of our citizen’s lives might’ve been saved. This insane mask/anti-mask nonsense currently raging in our country could’ve been avoided.Instead he recommended ingesting bleach to combat the virus.

It is clear Trump’s ego, not the Constitution, are paramount as he continues to undermine our democracy. This “election fraud” propaganda campaign is just his next con, fleecing supporters to fund the fight. A billionaire could fund this himself it were important to him. In reality, this is his next “business venture”.

Trump is now 1 and 51 in these tragically frivolous lawsuits. If the Broncos team had a quarterback with this abysmal record, the fans would demand a new quarterback. It is long past time to change stop this game and this quarterback.

The decade of the 1960s was a ripe period for musicians, many of whom were tagged as “protest singers,” especially Bob Dylan, but also Peter, Paul, and Mary, Phil Ochs, Richie Havens, Joan Baez, Nina Simone, even Marvin Gaye.

A British band at the time, Them, was uninvolved, and recorded hits such as “Gloria,” “Baby, Please Don’t Go,” and “Here Comes the Night.”

The lead singer, who was born in 1945, went solo and still performs.

I was half-surprised to read about a song he’s written and recorded titled “No More Lockdown,” and anti-lockdown tune.

“No more celebrities / No more celebrities telling us / Telling us what we’re

supposed to feel / No more lockdown.”

He takes a bigger swing at “experts.”

“No more Imperial College Scientists making up crooked facts.”

It’s not smooth and pretty, is it?

Neither was Dylan’s “Masters of War,” a song I have outgrown; not one I’m likely to listen to on a Sunday in 2020.

As an artist, I have always avoided current events, choosing instead to find solace in painting and drawing rather than a forum.

The news right now is a bombardment.

Listening to music is one of the ways I (try to) overcome the frustrations and anxieties. I don’t invite “protest” music SEE SMITH, P13

Wondering about how so many things came to be

S

ometimes I think strange thoughts.

I know — big shock to regular readers. Both of you.

HITTING But, do you ever wonder HOME about how some things came to be? Like, for instance: who was the first person who ate a kiwi fruit? Have you seen those little things? I like them, I like them a lot when Michael Alcorn they’re ripe. But if somebody hadn’t told me that kiwi was delicious, and I just happened onto a kiwi … tree (?) in the primordial forest, I don’t think my first thought would have been “hey, let’s take a big bite of this odd, hairy little alien egg-looking thing, just to see if it’s edible.”

For that matter, how desperate were the first people who ate potatoes? You know, somebody pulls up a plant, and there’s this dirty, bulbous rock hanging from it (I think—I’ve never actually seen a raw potato). So all the village elders gather around and stare at it for a while. Maybe, they stare at it long enough that it starts to sprout legs and arms and stuff.

And *that’s* when somebody says, “you know, if we slice that real thin and fry it up, we could have a seriously tasty snack.”

Of course, leave it to the Russians to figure out how to turn that into alcohol. Gotta admit,

somebody showed some foresight when they did whatever it took to turn that little rock into food.

As a trumpet player, I’ve always pondered the beginnings of the brass family of musical instruments. I can understand the flute, because you can hear the musical sounds when the wind blows across reedy grasses and through small cracks in doors. But who was the genius who thought to themselves, “if I buzz my lips together to make that obnoxious sound that my friends punch me for, and do that into a tube of some kind, I’ll bet I can make a really loud . . . er, obnoxious sound.” Come to think of it, does explain a lot about the attitude of most brass players.

And, speaking of the arts, I’d love to go back in time to the day that some sadistic dance teacher said to their class of young girls, “this would all look so much better if you would all just jam your toes into tiny little wooden boxes, and then do the entire dance standing on those boxes,” and punch them in the throat. I love the ballet, and marvel at the athleticism and artistry involved, but, as a father of a dancer, and as the one-time carpool operator for the dance company, and as somebody who watches aging dancers hobble around with no ankle or knee cartilage, I gotta think there should have been an intervention somewhere along the way.

Wait a second. That all probably started in Russia. Which explains vodka…

Along these lines, in retro-

spect, it probably would have been better for all involved if Mark Zuckerberg had lost his court cases more spectacularly, and Facebook had been killed in its cradle. Social media, which began innocently enough (much like Skynet) and had its virtues, has descended into a cesspool of angst- and anger-driven pathos which has no equal in human history. From the creepy (my wife and I are having a discussion about the Zoo Lights, and, next thing I know, an ad for Zoo Lights is the third thing in my Facebook feed) to the Orwellian (Twitter blocking all references to Hunter Biden’s investigation … until Hunter Biden confirms the investigation) to the evil (the extraordinary links between the rise of social media and the rise of mental illness in youth, not to mention the ease with which predators use social media to target kids), the current evolution of social media renders it almost must-block for any parent with teenage children.

Do yourselves a favor, parents (especially in “remote schooling” times): watch “The Social Dilemma.” You’ll never look at your kids’ cell phones the same way.

How about a heartwarming holiday stroll

think Santa did actually come a little early this year. The news of the approval of the vaccines for COVID-19 is probably the best present that the world could get right now. Although most people won’t be inoculated until 2021, it does give us hope that the end to this horrible pandemic is now in sight. I would like to take a moment to thank the thousands of people involved in the creation, manufacturing and future distribution efforts involved in such a monumental task. It’s truly mind boggling when you take a good look at the scale of this operation.

But, we’re not quite out of the woods yet. Cases are still rising, and so is the death toll. Now is not the time to get lax and careless. Contracting and dying of this horrible virus just days before you could have received an inoculation is not something any of us want to be remembered for. That’s kind of like the guys in the war movies that have their plane shot down as it tries to fly them home. Keep wearing the masks, washing your hands and staying away from each other a little longer. If we all stay vigilant, we might actually be able

to see a fireworks display together in the park this 4th of July.

But that’s still a few months away.

Right now, we are all looking forward to the December holidays at hand.

So with that in mind, let me share John Akal a few more holiday things you can still do right here in Golden this year.

Let’s start with an addition to our Olde Golden Christmas lineup. It’s called the Holiday Story Strolls.

Through the month of December, several folks have put together displays depicting various holiday traditions from around the world.

They have been created in partnership with the Jeffco Public Library and offer an inspirational way to celebrate our global connections and help promote the holiday sentiment of peace on earth.

Maps of these displays are available outside the Golden Visitors Center, 1010 Washington Avenue, or you can download the Scavify app on your smart phone. Once you

think hard about my decision. I’ve had, and have friends in law enforcement and would not like to abandon them in their total commitment. I keep thinking of Rodney King in the 1996 riots, “Can’t we get along?” After so many years, he’s still asking that same question.

A US postage stamp was designed and issued with his picture and name.

It should be time for a renewal of that very worthy honor.

into that as I did during, for example, the Vietnam War. Music and movies are my antidote. After a day saturated with “Breaking News” I want comedy, romantic comedy, drama, but I don’t want violence, revenge, meanness or cruelty. There’s plenty of that in the paper.

After he left Them, Van Morrison recorded “Brown Eyed Girl,” which you can hear at least once a week on the radio.

“Skipping and a jumping / In the misty morning fog with you” is a long old way away from “No more celebrities.”

Often it’s the other way around.

Artists protest when we’re young, then soften (or resign) as we get older.

Of course, many go down fighting whatever it is.

Pete Seeger was still being Pete Seeger until the day he died (2014 at the age of 94).

AVENUE FLASHES

I probably won’t add “No More Lockdown” to my playlists. However, I understand Morrison’s desire to produce such a song.

I’ll let you in on a secret: These columns give me an opportunity to achieve the very same thing, albeit without the edge or the angle.

Morrison is adhering to the unwritten “Artist’s Responsibility.”

Choosing to will cost him some of his audience.

A best friend and I have been exchanging daily messages, each swathed in humor, wordplay, and nonsense.

Another friend and I dwell on the pandemic and politicians.

Which do you think I look forward to the most?

One day, Mark and I exchanged, explained, and debated our favorite humorists. It was hotly contested, meaningless, without importance or merit.

And wonderful.

have the app, do a search for “Olde Golden Christmas Holiday Stroll” and off you go. An added bonus is that anyone who joins the Scavify app will earn points and a chance to win prizes.

This is a great way to get out of your house for a little exercise and fresh air while enjoying something with the entire family. It’s a welcome addition to this years holiday lineup here in Golden, and will hopefully become one of our new local traditions.

Speaking of local, did you know that we actually have a local Golden television station? Well, you do now. It’s called GCO.tv, Golden Community Television and while it’s focused on providing information to keep us in touch with our local governments and community affairs, it offers a whole lot more than just covering city council meetings.

It has all kinds of fun programming on there. Videos of past events like concerts and parades, current talk shows with local celebrities, holiday movies, weekend creature features and even a local holiday cooking show. The Golden History Museums even have sev-

eral videos on the schedule that you can enjoy.

GCO.tv can be viewed on Comcast Xfinity Cable Channels 8SD and 880HD or by going to their website at www.gco.tv/CablecastPublicSite/watch/1?channel=1 and clicking on the green Watch tab.

Their program schedule is also posted on that website. It’s a great place to check out that keeps you connected to our community and is fun to watch as well.

You have about a week to get your Christmas shopping completed, if that’s the holiday you celebrate.

And if you haven’t found that perfect gift, it might be a good time to head to downtown Golden and do a little shopping right here in town.

The stores are open and they have loads of things that are unique and interesting. Keeping it local always gives you a nice warm feeling too.

Making do for the holidays Traditions change as celebrants face season unlike any other

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

rom her family’s locally famous light display to their traditional Christmas party — which usually includes around 75 people and even a hired Santa — Jennifer Shelton loves to go big on Christmas.

But this year, COVID-19 has led the Arvada resident to rethink her approach to the cherished holiday. The lights at her home 19275 W. 84th Place are already as bright as ever but there will be no party this December.

Instead, Shelton and her family are focused on enjoying some new, more pandemic-friendly festivities. So far, their agenda has included multiple movie nights and plenty of baking and crafting, with the family making plans to learn how to make their own Advent wreath for their Christmas table.

She’s also planning on having her mother-in-law over for a day of baking with her daughter, who has never had time to learn the mother-in-law’s recipes.

“I’m just trying to keep the spirit alive even though we can’t do some of the stuff that we used to do,” Shelton said.

But while Shelton and her family are trying to make the most of this unusual holiday season, she said it’s still hard to not be able to enjoy more social activities like parties with friends and gift exchanges. That feels particularly true at the end of a difficult year that saw Shelton’s daughter spend 10 days in the hospital and her grandmother die of COVID-19.

Still, there also positives to a slower-paced holiday season, including more opportunities to spend more time with family and pause to be thankful for all she does have.

“Normally, I’m still shopping, but this year I already did all of my shopping online so I am able to spend time with my family and enjoy the season a little bit more by sitting

“That’s been a tradition for a few years, but now that we have so many Amazon boxes it was really easy,” Jean said. “And we didn’t have to go out and interact with people to purchase a real Christmas tree.”

down and watching movies and things like that,” she said. “I usually wouldn’t be able to do that because I would be running around like a crazy person.”

A cardboard tree

Given the risk posed by COVID-19, Aleya Jean and her partner will be staying home in Golden this Christmas. However, they plan on choosing another day in the future to “designate as Christmas” and will use it to go see family when it is safe to travel again.

In the meantime, however, Jean plans to enjoy the cardboard tree she constructed with her husband.

For Katie Bartlett, this Christmas will mean will mean putting on a brave face for her kids. That’s because COVID-19 has impacted her family’s income tremendously and left them behind on rent and utilities. Still, they did some decorating inside and are planning to do the tree next.

“It is hard because as a parent you feel like a failure,” Bartlett said.

“Don’t get me wrong, we have plenty to be thankful for such as our health.

But it is still hard.”

Casey Romero, meanwhile, doesn’t know where she will be spending Christmas this year.

She and her family were hoping to drive out to South Carolina to bring her son, who is serving on a military base, home to Littleton for his first Christmas since moving away.

But the pandemic had other ideas and her son recently received word that he would not be allowed to travel more than 1,200 miles from his base as a result of increasing COVID-19

cases around the country.

“Now we are hoping to get approved to drive out there and see him maybe in a VRBO (vacation rental) with maybe socially distancing,” said Romero. “But right now we don’t really know if that will get approved, we are just hoping.”

If that doesn’t get approved, Romero said they will plan to lie low and find a way to “celebrate from afar.”

That will be a bummer, particularly since Romero has not been able to hug her son since he left for boot camp in May. Still, “it’s not great but there are worse things, and you have to take your wins where you have them,” she said.

“I do think people need to remember that our military personnel are very lonely right now,” Romero added. “We feel we have rights to do everything and see everybody but at the end of the day there are a lot of them who don’t get to see family. We have to be grateful for what we have.”

Pop Culture Con cancelled for 2021, still connects with community COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

F

ans of superheroes, science fiction, elven kingdoms and anime are going to have to wait longer than they were hoping to meet some of their favorite creators and other fans in person — after cancelling this year’s Denver Pop Culture Con, Pop Culture Classroom has made the decision to cancel the event for 2021 as well.

“Considering the financial impacts on our organization from cancelling the 2020 event and uncertainty about public gatherings in 2021, we didn’t see a realistic option,” explained Adam Kullberg, interim executive director of Pop Culture Classroom. “We

want to do right by our creators, vendors and the community, because they’ve all been so supportive of us.”

While this news is disappointing, it doesn’t mean the organization will be quiet until the next con — Pop Culture Classroom has been working hard during the pandemic to provide pop-culture based learning and entertainment options for fans of all ages.

Over the summer the nonprofit launched PopStream, a YouTube channel featuring comics conversations, workshops, discussions on films and more. It has also hosted digital bootcamps on subjects like Dun-

geons and Dragons, and PopRun, a virtual 5k. Most importantly, it has continued to work with children and students all over the state. It even provides a food pantry at its Valverde neighborhood headquarters in Denver.

“We’re shifting our efforts to focus on our core educational mission, which includes community education, professional development and creative community connections,” Kullberg said. “We’re continuing our efforts to work with schools, libraries, community centers and we’re getting lots SEE READER, P15

the evening as people cram downtown to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus when the Olde Golden Christmas parades make their way through downtown.

This year, however, the city’s holiday planners are instead orienting the festivities around resident’s homes, while nodding to another canceled favorite, the Candlelight Walk. During that event, residents would gather to go caroling down Golden’s main street, Washington Avenue, with a candle in hand.

“This year we are handing out these battery-operated commemorative candles and we are asking everyone to place one in their window and light it every night at 7 to show that unity that we have in the community, and that even though we can’t come together we are all still together,” said Nola Krajewski, the executive director of the Golden Chamber of Commerce.

The cancellation of Gold-

en’s parade also means that local kids did get the chance to march in it with Santa.

But they were still able to be sworn in as official “Golden Christmas elves” during the annual Golden Elf Academy. Organizer Stacy Fowler said she was happy to turn the event virtual this year.

“I think that there is so much that kids aren’t even able to do and such a shortage — you can’t even see Santa right now in a lot of places,” she said. “This is some way for them to be involved with Santa in a virtual way at least for an hour.”

Other communities are also planning their own shows of holiday togetherness amidst the separation required by the pandemic.

In Westminster, Arvada, Centennial and other communities, residents have been circulating a Facebook post asking “everyone to step out on their doorsteps to spread Christmas sprit and help Santa fly his sleigh” at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve. “After this awful year, it would be an amazing memory for the kids and the communities,” the post

of interest from folks like teachers and librarians.”

Like so many nonprofits and arts organizations, revenue losses have been severe, leading to layoffs in addition to programming changes - the cancellation of both cons eliminated 90 percent of Pop Culture Classroom’s funding for its nonprofit work. As such, Kullberg said donations are needed to keep Pop Culture Classroom and its efforts going. The organization is also searching for educational partnerships with schools and groups that have similar goals.

“Our virtual programming has ”been really successful, and we’re eager to harness that energy and provide new opportunities along our channels,” he said. “We want to show how pop culture can be a way to bridge gaps and help teach things like critical thinking. We’re going to

Cherry Creek fetches a holiday market

Through Dec. 23, Colorado shoppers can get an injection of holiday cheer at the Cherry Creek Holiday Market, produced by Fetch. The outdoor market will be hosted on Fillmore Street (between 1st and 2nd Avenues) and features shopping from a variety of local creators and designers selling a wide range of goods.

The holiday atmosphere makes the market particularly special - shoppers can expect European chalet-style décor, plenty of lights, live music from local bands and carolers, and warm drinks to keep them warm.

The market is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. Entry to the event

Clarke’s Concert of the Week - Robin Pecknold’s ‘A Very Lonely Solstice Livestream’

The music Robin Pecknold makes as the leader of Fleet Foxes sounds best outdoors, particularly during the autumn. Which is why the group released its new album, “Shore,” on the autumnal equinox.

The record may well be the group’s best yet — it’s shimmering, gloriously harmonized and one of the year’s strongest releases.

And now Pecknold will be performing a “A Very Lonely Solstice Livestream,” to welcome winter at 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 21. The solo acoustic show will be broadcast from St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn, New York, and will feature the Resistance Revival Chorus.

“It’s a wonderful hometown-type tradition that someone started in the neighborhood and everyone seems to enjoy and keep going year after year,” said Hohenstein. “And it’s just a wonderful treat to see as you are out for a walk on the trail.”

Streaming style - Lone Tree Art Center’s Classical Holiday show

Music is a crucial part of many people’s holiday season, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a better way to get you in the right frame of mind than a livestreamed performance of a string quartet led by the Colorado Symphony’s Phillip Stevens, including the concert commentary of host Betsy Schwarm.

The Classical Holiday show will be broadcast by the Lone Tree Arts Center and will include selections from Messiah and The Nutcracker, a spirited sleigh ride, a dash of Beethoven à la Christmas, and some Hanukkah music as well, according to provided information. There will also be instrumental versions of familiar carols, and audiences are encouraged to sing along at home.

The show will be livestreamed at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 20. Visit www. lonetreeartscenter.org for tickets.

upcoming Nov. 2021 Board election, Rush said he wasn’t decided.

“This may not be the answer you want. I am not ready to commit at this time that I’m going to run for the seat for the coming November,” he said. “I want to take time — I’d want to be able to make that decision when the time is right.

He said he would want to make sure he was feeling like he was making a valuable contribution to the District and the students

before he’d be able to decide to run in 2021.

The members of the Jeffco Board of Education held interviews eight candidates to fill the open District 5 seat.

The winning Rush was selected from a candidate pool that included Marie Watkins, Sean McGraw, Rebecca Woulfe, Tim James, Kathy Miks, Nic Rosales and Susan Lopez.

In a statement following his appointment, Rush shared the fol-

lowing: “I have always been a strong believer in the value of community-driven public education. It is through well-run school districts that we have a quality workforce, supporting neighborhoods where people want to live and raise families. And now with the pandemic, public school boards need to lead in the development of student and staff resiliency and community building and healing.”

the project to others in Golden.

“I really want to emphasize we are not Golden,” she said. “If I wanted to live in Golden, I would’ve bought in Golden. I don’t like what they are doing where they increasing the density.”

Many of the commenters also expressed concerns about traffic, which one commenter described as being “a nightmare” in the area.

However, Huseas said the townhomes would only add nominally to the overall traffic in the area (he pointed to a traffic study that showed it would only add about one vehicle trip every 15 minutes) while having little impact on the residen-

tial neighborhood itself since it is located on the edge next to South Golden Road.

Neighbor Tara Slowik said that eight townhomes would “be too much for our little neighborhood,” which consists mostly of singlefamily homes and duplexes. However, she suggested that reducing the number of townhome units could bring the neighbor more in line with what the neighborhood would want.

Clark, later expressed agreement with that assertion, saying that reducing the project to six units would likely eliminate the planning department’s objections and change

their evaluation.

The commissioners then asked Huseas to reduce the number of units.

“There’s probably going to have a little bit of concession there maybe its not going to be a mix of two and three bedrooms but three bedrooms to keep it working,” said Huseas in agreeing to the compromise.

That proved to be enough for Commissioners Casey Tighe and Lesley Dahlkemper, who both voted in favor of the zoning. Commissioner Libby Szabo did not participate in the vote because she had to leave the meeting early for personal reasons.

Winter prep season pushed back CDPHE won’t grant CHSAA variance with rising COVID-19 cases in the state

Jay Madden celebrates with his family after Pomona’s 56-49 victory over Eaglecrest in the Class 5A state championship game in 2017 at Mile High Stadium.

Jay Madden steps down as head football coach at Pomona

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — After nearly two decades leading Pomona High School’s football program, Jay Madden officially stepped down as head coach.

“Number one is I’m tired. I’ve been doing this a long time and the stuff that goes along with being a head coach wears you out,” Madden said in a phone interview Tuesday morning. “I love coaching. I love kids. I love football. I’ll probably never quit coaching.”

Madden will remain as a teacher at Pomona. He has a few more years before retiring from teaching and wants to focus on being a father.

“It was time to not be the boss anymore,” Madden said. “It’s time to be a dad. I’ve got a son who will be a sophomore in high school next school year. I can be his dad for three years, recharge my batteries and hopefully go back and do this all over again.”

What Madden — 1986 Pomona graduate — has done as a high school football coach in Colorado since his first head coaching job at Alameda in 1995 is impressive.

He spent five seasons at Dakota Ridge (1996-2000) and two years at Mullen (2001 and 2002) before heading back to his alma mater for an 18-year stint.

At Pomona, he guided the Panthers to the Class 5A state quarterfinals each year except for once since 2008. As one of the smallest 5A football schools in the state, the Panthers advanced to the state semifinals six times and played in four state championship games (2009, 2015, 2016 and 2017), including winning the 5A title in 2017 over Eaglecrest.

“Honestly, I had no idea,” Mad-

den said of his goals when he took over the Pomona football program in 2003. “At the time I was just glad to be back in Jefferson County. I had been told when I took the job that it was never going to be the same as the glory days. We were going to prove them wrong and I believe we did that.”

There are numerous on-field memories that Madden will never forget. The state championship victory at Mile High Stadium, a 2011 victory over Mullen and even this season defeating rival Ralston Valley with a lastsecond field goal.

“Eighteen years is one spot is a long time. It was a good run, that’s for sure,” Madden said.

“We did it the right way. We grew where we were planted and made this a great place.”

Walking away from a program that Madden spent 18 years

building into a perennial powerhouse was difficult.

“There is never an easy time to step down because you always have another great group of kids that you love,” Madden said.

“Number one is I’m going to miss the players. The before practice time. The weight room time. The times where the kids are just being kids. And I’m going to miss my assistant coaches.”

Pomona athletic director Mike Santarelli has the task of finding Madden’s replacement.

That won’t be an easy to replace Madden who racked up a 218-86 record as head coach over 26 seasons.

“Jay is probably the best Xs and Os coach I’ve ever seen,” Santarelli said. “He is always one step ahead of everybody. He does an outstanding job of getting his players ready for games.”

Santarelli added that Madden’s ability to adjust from year-toyear when it comes to highlighting the strengths of his players is unmatched.

“We just have to start looking,” Santarelli said. “We are changing. Demographics and interests aren’t the same. COVID hasn’t helped us either. We’ve got to get someone who is willing to put the time and effort in.”

Madden said there wasn’t an extra pressure taking over his alma mater back in 2003, but there was extra pride building up Pomona were he had been around since when his father became the freshman football coach in 1980.

“We’ve had some great kids.

Great coaches and a great community,” Madden said.

Dennis Pleuss is the Sports Information Director for Jeffco Public Schools

David Schuessler is a paper-and-pencil guy. There’s a good chance that the Clear Creek athletic director will have a handy Jostens calendar book on him to note when and where the Golddiggers will be playing on any given day.

That calendar has seen its fair share of revisions in recent months. So much so that Schuessler’s gone to utilizing a Google calendar because of how easy it is to edit. That’s the nature of the beast in 2020 after the Colorado High School Activities Association delayed the start of Season B last week.

CHSAA, following discussions with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, pushed back the start of practice for boys and girls basketball, wrestling, skiing, girls swimming, ice hockey and spirit competitions until Jan. 25 with games and events starting a week later.

CDPHE expressed concerns with CHSAA commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green about starting Season B as planned in the first week of January because of increasing COVID-19 cases throughout the state.

“At this time, we do not have enough information about what disease incidence and hospitalization capacity will look like in January, and therefore are unable to make a determination regarding indoor high school athletics in Season B,” said Jill Hunsaker Rye, Executive Director of the CDPHE, in a letter sent to CHSAA, which also noted that no variances would be granted at the present time. “Season B high school sports would operate based on the restrictions in the level of the dial in the county in which the school resides. For counties in Level Red, this means no indoor group sports are authorized.”

Rye said that current estimations show that “1 in 40 Coloradans are currently infectious.” And with the holiday season in full swing, there are concerns that more cases will arise. Furthermore, CDPHE’s concern goes beyond athletic competitions but also focuses on the academic aspect.

“Our top goal for the new year is to support a return to in-person learning,” Rye continued. “Season B sports are conducted mainly indoors during the colder months, which reduces the ability to assure social distancing. This in turn may further promote disease transmission at a time when we need to ensure that students and teachers are protected and that in-person learning is the highest priority.”

CHSAA sent a variance request to the SEE SEASON, P21

0December 17, 2020 PROPOSED CHAA CALENDAR The following is a breakdown of the remaining proposed CHSAA calendar for the 2020-21 school year. Each regular season will be seven weeks in length.

Notes: Season C football will be nine weeks in length with a six-plus- one regular season and three weeks of playoffs, culminating with the state finals on May 15.

state in preparation for a Jan. 4 start date for Season B, BlanfordGreen said. This was before all Denver metro area counties, as well as surrounding counties like Clear Creek and Elbert were moved to Level Red. Blanford-Green on Dec. 11 noted that all parties involved are cognizant of the importance of athletics and activities for students.

“I think that it’s important that everybody knows that I haven’t encountered one state official who doesn’t want athletics and activities to resume,” Blanford-Green said. “If there’s disappointment it’s around the reality that we can’t do everything that we want to do when we want to do it.”

Blanford-Green noted that if not for cooperation from CDPHE and Gov. Polis’ COVID response team,

the Season A prep football season, because of an uptick in COVID-19 cases, wouldn’t have reached a conclusion. Without an extension of the variance in all likelihood the football season would’ve been shut down a month earlier, she said.

The return of in-person learning at schools in the coming weeks provides a positive step for the return of athletics and activities, according to Blanford-Green.

“The more that we see schools returning to learn gives hope that athletics and activities complement the classroom and following them in returning jointly or shortly behind that. It gives an incredible amount of hope,” Blanford-Green said.

“That’s the bright light.”

CHSAA, CDPHE and Gov. Jared Polis’ COVID response team are planning to meet in approximately a month to discuss variances for Season B. Variances won’t be considered prior to that time, according to the CHSAA.

The Vidler Water will be stored by exchange in the Beaver Brook Residences Pond, and augments by exchange the Beaver Brook Residences Wells as described in paragraph 4.D. below. D. Description of Exchange: The right to store by exchange up to 8 acre feet of the Vidler Water in the Beaver Brook Residences Pond described in paragraph 3.C.v. for domestic, commercial and irrigation uses and the right to use the Vidler Water to directly augment by exchange the Beaver Brook Residences Well Nos. 2-5 and Dickinson Well No. 1. The downstream terminus of the exchanges is the confluence of Clear Creek and Beaver Brook located in the SE1/4 NW1/4 of Section 3, T. 4 S., R. 71 W. of the 6th P.M. The upstream terminus of the exchange is the location of the wells and storage structure described in paragraphs 3.C. and 4.B. above. 5. Request for Finding of Reasonable Diligence. Since this Court's last finding of reasonable diligence, entered on November 6, 2014, Applicant acquired the water rights described in paragraphs 3 and 4 above and the land on which these water rights are to be used. Notice of the transfer of these conditional water rights was filed in Case No. 14CW3012, Water Division 1. In addition, Applicant’s predecessor-in-interest, Snow Mountain, LLC, and Applicant have undertaken activities during the diligence period to beneficially use the subject water rights and to complete the appropriation of the full amount of the conditionally decreed water rights by performing the following specific work: Snow Mountain, LLC purchased a total 8 acre-feet per year of the Arduser Ditch portion of the Vidler Water described above in paragraph 4(C)(ii) through a series of four transactions from 2015 to 2018, incrementally purchasing 2 acre-feet per year during those four years. Snow Mountain, LLC spent in excess of $300,000 over that four-year period to purchase this water. Before those transactions, Snow Mountain, LLC held a lease interest in the Vidler Water, along with an option to purchase. The ownership of those 8 acre-feet, which Applicant has in turn acquired, provides for the availability of this water in perpetuity under the conditional rights of exchange and plan for augmentation, and will allow for long-term operation of the subject conditional water rights.

In 2019, Applicant purchased the land associated with the subject conditional water rights, commonly known as the Homestead Parcel, as well as all water rights, well permits, and infrastructure associated with the property. This included the subject conditional water rights and the 8 acre-feet of Vidler Water described above. As part of this transaction, Applicant also acquired the development rights for the Homestead Parcel as set forth under the Clear Creek County Site Specific Development Plan concerning case # DR00-1 for the Beaver Brook Lodge and Residences, resolution #R-01-02, as amended. As part of the acquisition of the Homestead Parcel and related conditional water rights, Applicant engaged BBA Water Consultants, Inc. for $6,500.00 to assess the water rights and potential uses of same. Since acquiring the Homestead Parcel and subject conditional water rights, Applicant has engaged in discussions with nearby Clear Creek County stakeholders as well as the Clear Creek County School District regarding development of the Homestead Parcel.

These activities constitute reasonable diligence in the development of the subject conditional water rights. Applicant intends to place these water rights to their decreed beneficial uses. 6. Owners of land upon which structures are located: Applicant. WHEREFORE, Applicant requests that this Court enter a decree finding that Applicant has exercised reasonable diligence in the development of the conditional water rights and exchanges described in paragraph 3 and 4, and such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.

APPLICATION FOR FINDING OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE, IN GILPIN, CLEAR CREEK, JEFFERSON, ADAMS, AND WELD COUNTIES. 2. Name of Structures: Fall River Exchange (Fall River Pumping Pipeline). A. Previous Decrees: The Fall River Exchange was originally adjudicated in Case No. 1992CW168, Second Corrected Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, Judgment and Decree of the Water Court, dated November 15, 2006, Water Court, Division 1 (“Second Amended Decree”). The subsequent diligence decree was entered in Case No. 2010CW136, Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, Judgement and Decree of Water Court, dated November 18, 2014, Water Court, Division 1. Other exchanges on North Clear Creek were involved in these cases and were made absolute in Case No. 2010CW136. B. Appropriations. Applicant has a decreed entitlement to appropriative rights of substitution and exchange pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-80-120(4) at a maximum rate of 4.1 cubic feet per second for each individual exchange and a cumulative maximum rate of 4.1 cubic feet per second for all exchanges claimed herein. C. Dates of Appropriation. Applicant was awarded appropriative rights of exchange with an appropriation date of August 25, 1995 for all exchanges to the exchange-to point on Fall River described herein. D. Exchange Reaches. The exchange reach for the Fall River Exchange is from the two augmentation stations and the outfall of the WWTP described below and in the Second Amended Decree, as the downstream termini, to the point of diversion described below, as the upstream terminus on Fall River. E. “Exchange-From” Points. i. FHL Augmentation Station. Releases of water owned by the applicant from the FHL Augmentation Station owned by Coors, which delivers water to Clear Creek at a point on the North Bank of the creek in the NW 1/4 SW 1/4 NE 1/4 SW 1/4 of Section 27, Township 3 South, Range 70 West of the 6th P.M., Jefferson County, Colorado. ii. Wannamaker Augmentation Station. Releases of water owned by applicant from the Wannamaker Augmentation Station, which delivers water to Clear Creek at a point on the North Bank of the creek in the NE 1/4 NE 1/4 NE 1/4 NW 1/4 of Section 26, Township 3 South, Range 70 West of the 6th P.M., Jefferson County, Colorado. iii. BH-CC Sanitation District WWTP Outfall. Releases of fully consumable water from the Black Hawk-Central City Waste Water Treatment Plant (“WWTP” or “BH-CC WWTP”) at its present location or any future location. The location of the outfall of the WWTP is presently in the NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 26, Township 3 South, Range 72 West, at a point 1,600 feet East of the West section line and 2,100 feet North of the South section line of said Section 26. F. “Exchange-To” Point of Diversion and Amount. i. Name: Fall River Pumping Pipeline. ii.

Legal description of exchange-to point. The intake of the Fall River Pumping Pipeline will be located on the East bank of Fall River in the SE ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 28, Township 3 South, Range 73 West of the 6th P.M., Clear Creek County, Colorado, at a point from whence the South one quarter corner of Section 34, Township 3 South, Range 73 West bears South 24°42’24” East, a distance of 6,792.96 feet. iii. Source: Fall River. iv. Amount claimed: 4.1 cubic feet per second, CONDITIONAL. G. Sources of Exchange Water. i. Applicant’s Senior Water Rights. Water from applicant’s 9.0 shares of Farmers’ High Line Canal and 4.0 inches of Wannamaker Ditch are used as substitute supplies to support diversions by exchange at the “Exchange To” structure described above, after all required return flows have been made. Ii. Reusable Effluent From the BH-CC WWTP. In addition, reclaimable return flow credits released from the Black Hawk-Central City Sanitation District Wastewater Treatment Plant at its present location and future locations are and may be used as substitute supplies to support diversions by exchange at the “Exchange To” structure described above. H. Use of the water. All municipal purposes, including domestic, industrial, commercial, fire protection, irrigation, stockwatering, recreation, piscatorial and wildlife conservation within the present and future service area of the applicant. The water will also be used for exchange purposes, for replacement of diversions and/or depletions resulting from the use of water from other sources and other priorities from the same source and for augmentation purposes. The Water Court has decreed that applicant has the right to use and reuse to extinction, including use by augmentation and exchange in its plan for augmentation and exchange in Case No. 92CW168, all water lawfully diverted or impounded under the priorities adjudicated in said Case No. 92CW168. A map depicting the location of the structures is attached as Exhibit A. 3. Provide a detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation as conditionally decreed, including expenditures, during the previous diligence period. A. Pursuant to Paragraph 33 of the Decree entered in 10CW136, the City’s Fall River Exchange is part of the City’s integrated water supply system which provides water within the City and extraterritorially by agreement. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92301(4)(b), when an integrated system is composed of several features, as is the case here, work on one feature of the system is considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of water rights for all features of the entire system. B. During this diligence period, the City has continued to improve, operate and maintain its water distribution system, of which this conditional exchange will be a part. In particular, the City has spent approximately $2,268,631 in the overall maintenance, repair and improvement of its water system infrastructure to enable it to more efficiently and effectively provide water service to its existing and future customers. Those improvements include the design and construction of a measuring device on its diversion structure located on Broomfield Gulch, which measuring device was required to be installed prior to operating an exchange to that point of diversion pursuant to paragraph 34(A) of the 2010CW136 decree. C. The City has defended its water rights against applications filed by others in cases where the City has determined that injury to its water rights could

occur in the absence of appropriate terms and conditions. During this diligence period, the City has expended approximately $156,013 in attorney fees and $52,208 in engineering fees defending its water rights. In addition, the City has filed its own water court applications to maintain diligence or perfect conditional water rights and for administration of its existing water rights, all of which are part of the City’s integrated water system, including the water right for Fall River Pipeline decreed in 1994CW163, and most recently awarded diligence in Case No. 2019CW3102. During this diligence period, the City has expended approximately $36,169 in attorney fees and engineering and consulting fees in water court applications pertaining to its conditional water rights and administration of its existing water rights. D. The City has spent $298,178 in engineering fees related to water rights accounting and other minor water resources related issues, including but not limited to responding to comments from the Division Engineer on its current accounting for water rights owned by the City that are part of its integrated water supply system. E. In addition, the City has been engaged in ongoing discussions and meetings with the Division Engineer concerning the gage at Fall River Pumping Pipeline. In April, 2019, an onsite meeting was held with representatives from the Division Engineer’s Office and the Applicant. The Division Engineer’s Office is proposing to relocate the Fall River streamflow gaging station from its current location to a new location approximately 10 to 20 feet upstream of the proposed diversion location for the Fall River Pumping Pipeline. Representatives from the City participated in this meeting, in part, to ensure that its water rights that are the subject of this case will not be injured by any adjustments to the gage or location. As a result of the meeting, the Applicant and Division Engineer’s Office negotiated and entered into a license agreement pertaining to the operation and maintenance of the gage on the Applicant’s property. 4. Name and address of owner or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: Applicant. WHEREFORE, Applicant City of Central, having demonstrated that it has steadily applied effort to complete the appropriation of the Fall River Appropriative Right of Substitution and Exchange originally decreed in Case No. 1992CW168 in a reasonably expedient and efficient manner under all the facts and circumstances, respectfully requests this Court to find that it has exercised reasonable diligence in putting to beneficial use the conditional appropriate right of substitution and exchange decreed to the Fall River Exchange, and to continue the conditional decree for another six years, or such period as may otherwise be permitted by law.

APPLICATION FOR THIRD AMENDMENT TO PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION IN CLEAR CREEK AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES. 2. Purpose: This Application seeks approval of amendments to the plan for augmentation previously decreed in Case No. 80CW289, Water Division 1, State of Colorado, dated May 7, 1982 (“80CW289 Decree”), as amended by that Order Amending Decree, dated December 19, 1983 (“Order”). That plan for augmentation was subsequently amended by decrees entered in Case No. 06CW025, Water Division 1, State of Colorado, dated September 5, 2006 (“06CW025 Decree”), and in Case No. 09CW041, Water Division 1, State of Colorado,

dated November 24, 2009 (“09CW041 Decree”).

The subject plan for augmentation, including its amendments, is referred to herein as the “Augmentation Plan.” A map showing the key structures involved in the Augmentation Plan is attached as Exhibit A. 3. Summary of the Augmentation Plan: a. Original augmented structures: i.

Clear Creek Well No. 1: located in the SE 1/4 NW 1/4, Section 2, Township 5 South, Range 72 West, 6th P.M., County of Clear Creek, approximately 1370 feet south of the north section line and 3040 feet west of the east section line of said section. ii. Clear Creek School Well No. 3: located in the NE 1/4 NW 1/4, Section 2, Township 5 South, Range 72 West, 6th P.M., County of Clear Creek, approximately 30 feet south of the north section line and 2805 west of the east section line of said section. (1) Appropriation: Clear Creek School Well Nos. 1 and 3 (“Wells”) pump groundwater tributary to Witter Gulch, a tributary of Bear Creek. The Wells are decreed to divert a combined total of 7.38 acre feet of water per year, at a combined pumping rate of 10 g.p.m (0.0223 cfs). Water pumped from the Wells is used for municipal and domestic in-building purposes within an elementary school. b. Sources of augmentation supply: One-half share of the Warrior Ditch Company (“Warrior Half Share”). In the 80CW289 Decree, the School District changed the Warrior Half Share and, subject to the terms and conditions of that decree, quantified the consumptive use of the half share as 6.225 acre feet of water per year, at a rate of 0.1232 cfs. i. Appropriation dates: The School District’s pro-rata share of the Warrior Ditch water rights include: Priority No. 4 (December 1, 1861) – 0.0385 cfs; Priority No. 14 (October 31, 1864) – 0.0796 cfs; and Priority No. 16 (April 1, 1865) – 0.0359 cfs. Consistent with the terms of the 80CW289 Decree, water available to the Warrior Half Share under the Warrior Ditch’s Turkey Creek Priority (Priority No. 8) water right will remain in the ditch and is not affected by this Application. ii. Original changed uses: The Warrior Half Share was changed for the School District’s municipal, indoor domestic, and storage and augmentation use by the 80CW289 Decree. The location of storage is in a reservoir on Witter Gulch, located in the N 1/2 of Section 2, Township 5 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M., County of Clear Creek, Colorado (“School Pond”). iii. Additional decreed uses. In the 06CW025 Decree, Warrior Half Share water in storage in School Pond was changed for the County’s Road and Bridge Department’s dust suppression, road compaction, and related maintenance uses (collectively, “County Uses”), in addition to the School District’s uses. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 06CW025 Decree, the School District can release up to 1.5 acre feet of Warrior Half Share water for the County Uses. The County delivers Warrior Half Share water to its locations of use through the operation of appropriative rights of exchange on Bear Creek decreed in the 09CW041 Decree.

The exchanges in the 09CW041 Decree are not the subject of this Application. c. Summary description of the Augmentation Plan: Water pumped from the Wells is used to serve water to an elementary school located in the NW 1/4 of Section 2, Township 5 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M., County of Clear Creek, Colorado. The total lagged depletions associated with pumping the Wells are estimated as 0.37 acre-feet per year. Any out-ofpriority depletions from the Wells are augmented using water available under the Warrior Half Share.

The Warrior Half Share water is diverted through operation of a decreed exchange (“80CW289 Exchange”) into School Pond for the School District’s and the County’s Uses. Of the water in storage, 2.25 acre feet per year is applied to evaporation losses and the remainder is released for the County’s Uses or for augmentation purposes to replace aggregated out-of-priority depletions at the times and in the amounts required by the Augmentation Plan. 4. Claim for approval of amendments to the Augmentation Plan: Due to recent infrastructure improvements at School Pond, Applicants seek approval of certain amendments to the Augmentation Plan to improve the operation of the pond as an augmentation structure within the plan, to maintain Witter Gulch as a free flowing stream as much as possible, and decree an exchange program within the plan. a.

Basis of the claim: School Pond is located within the Witter Gulch drainage, an intermittent stream system. The School District has installed a new bypass structure on Witter Gulch at the inlet of School Pond. This allows the pond to operate as an off-channel reservoir, and native flows in the stream can be bypassed around the pond to maintain natural stream flows when the School District is not storing water available under its Warrior Half Share. b. Description of amendments: Applicants seek to modify certain terms and conditions applicable to operation of the Augmentation Plan, including but not limited to terms related to the storage, operation, and release of water from School Pond described in paragraph 5 of the decretal section of the 80CW289 Decree, as amended by the Order (“Paragraph 5 Terms”), and to decree an exchange program within the Augmentation Plan. When Warrior Half Share water is available, that water will be: (1) delivered to the downstream calling water right for immediate augmentation use through the operation of an exchange program within the Augmentation Plan; or (2) exchanged upstream through operation of the 80CW289 Exchange, measured at the measuring devices to be installed upstream of School Pond and delivered to the downstream calling water right for immediate augmentation use via the bypass channel around School Pond; or (3) exchanged upstream through operation of the 80CW289 Exchange, measured at the measuring devices to be installed upstream of and at School Pond, and delivered into storage in School Pond for subsequent release for augmentation purposes, which releases will be measured at the measuring device downstream of School Pond, to replace out-of-priority depletions under the terms of the Augmentation Plan and for the County Uses.

Further, Applicants seek to eliminate the requirement to fill and empty the School Pond twice a year, at its current capacity or at any future capacity, and instead will leave natural flows in the stream, except the Warrior Ditch Half Share water which is exchanged into the School Pond through operation of the 80CW289 Exchange. Additionally, Applicants seek to eliminate the requirement to store 2.25 acre feet of Warrior Half Share water to replace evaporation losses that were occurring when the School Pond was on-channel. As an off-channel reservoir, only senior Warrior Ditch Half Share water will be stored, and there is no interception of ground water. Finally, Applicants seek to eliminate the pumping rate limitations in the Paragraph 5 Terms, based on the School District’s historical water use under the Augmenta-

tion Plan and the improved infrastructure and operation of School Pond described herein. This Application does not seek a change of water rights for the Warrior Half Share, and nothing herein effects Applicants’ ability to use, in accordance with 80CW289 Decree and the Augmentation Plan, up to the full 6.225 acre feet of previously-quantified Warrior Half Share water at a rate and time as necessary to meet the School District’s uses and the County Uses. All other terms and conditions of the Augmentation Plan are unchanged. 5.

Name and address of owner or reputed owner 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: School Pond is located on land owned by the School District, whose address is listed in paragraph 1, above.

WHEREFORE, the Applicants respectfully request the Court to enter a decree granting the claim set forth in this Application for approval of a third amendment of the Augmentation Plan. (8 pgs., 1 Exhibit) WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED OR HERETOFORE ADJUDICATED THE WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED BY THESE APPLICATIONS MAY AFFECT IN PRIORITY ANY WITHIN THIS DIVISION AND OWNERS OF AFFECTED RIGHTS MUST APPEAR TO OBJECT WITHIN THE TIME PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR BE FOREVER BARRED.

VACCINE FROM PAGE 3

Availability is crucial

Health officials cautioned that all of their timelines for vaccine distribution could change based on availability.

“We know that early doses will be limited,” Bookman said, “but they will expand.”

Bookman said the vaccine will be provided for free for anyone who wants it.

The new plan differs in significant ways from the initial version that the state submitted to the federal government in October.

People who live in nursing homes have been moved up in priority.

Health-care workers who are not directly treating patients with COVID-19 have been moved down slightly.

But the biggest change is that the state has removed people who live in congregate housing situations — namely prisoners — from the priority list entirely.

People in those living situations — such as college students living in dorms, seasonal workers at ski areas living in shared housing, people

experiencing homelessness living in shelters, and people who are incarcerated — had been at a now-deleted “Phase 2A” of the initial plan.

Public health experts had urged making them a priority because they are at high risk of catching and transmitting the virus, creating large outbreaks that can spread across entire communities.

As of last week, 14 of the state’s 15 largest COVID-19 outbreaks had been in correctional facilities or on college campuses. At least 14 Colorado prisoner deaths have been tied to COVID-19.

But, in his announcement on Dec. 9, Polis made clear that the main consideration for the new priority list was whether someone is at increased risk of death from COVID-19.

“If we want to save lives, we need to prioritize based on who is the most vulnerable from this virus,” Polis said. “… The moral path for society to take is to protect those who are far more likely to lose their lives to the virus.”

Bookman echoed that sentiment.

“It does not matter where you live, it matters what you’re susceptibility to this illness is,” Bookman said.

The new plan still prioritizes

Local Focus. More News.

people who are “workers serving people that live in high-density settings.” Those individuals are placed in Phase 2 of the vaccine rollout, meaning, for instance, that people who work in homeless shelters will likely be eligible for vaccination before many people experiencing homelessness are.

Groups crafted different plans

Public health and medical experts worked for months on creating the state’s initial vaccination priority plan. An advisory committee of medical experts — the Governor’s Expert Emergency Epidemic Response Committee — drafted one plan. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment had its own teams also working on roll-out plans, and the two were ultimately merged to create the plan the state sent to the federal government earlier this year.

That initial plan largely followed the advice of a committee of the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, which also singled out people living in congregate housing as being worthy of priority. Two Colorado experts — Dr. Ned Calonge, the president and CEO of The Colorado Trust, and Dr. Jonathan Samet, the dean of the

Colorado School of Public Health who is leading Colorado’s pandemic modeling efforts — reviewed and provided feedback for the National Academies report before it was released.

The governor also promised Dec. 9 that vaccination information about Coloradans will not be shared with the federal government. That’s despite the fact that The New York Times reported Dec. 9 that the Trump administration is requiring states to submit the personal information of people who get the COVID-19 vaccine so that it can better track who is inoculated and any adverse reactions.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo balked at the idea, warning that the information could be used to deport people living in the U.S. illegally.

Polis asked Coloradans to be extra vigilant in protecting themselves and others against coronavirus in the next few months.

“It’s a marathon,” he said. “We’re getting there.”
