Lakewood senior community begins vaccinations The scene inside one of Jefferson County’s senior living facilities which received vaccines last week

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Inside the sparkling new main lobby of The Ridge Pinehurst, which looks decidedly more like a high-end resort than a senior living community, there’s a beehive of activity taking place. But it’s not the fully stocked bar or the indoor pool that has residents excited on this blue-sky January morning. It’s the first day of COVID-19 vaccinations for residents and staff, and the smiling eyes above dutifully worn masks are hard to miss.

arraignment date has been set for Feb. 26.

The majority of the hearing was spent on arguments about consumptive testing of evidence. In the case, prosecutors want to test small amounts of hair and other material from the crime scene. Due to the destructive nature of the testing, the evidence in dispute may be consumed by the test — meaning it’s possible none of that particular evidence would be left for the defense to test themselves.

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

According to a press release from Jeffco Schools, Schuh’s decision was made in consultation with the Jefferson County Board of Education, public health, district leadership and school leadership.

In a recent School Board meeting, parents who spoke out in the pubic comments section of the meeting were overwhelmingly in favor of starting the return to in-person school, ahead of the previous, tentative plan to consider in-person learning for grades 6-12 on Feb. 1.

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

Delay in Jeffco arraignment of accused Lakewood killer Defense asks for delay due to Covid unknowns

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

No plea was made in the Jan. 11 arraignment hearing of accused killer, Alex Christoper Ewing.

Ewing is charged with four counts of First Degree Murder in the 1984 death of 50-year old Patricia Smith of Lakewood. He faces additional charges in Arapahoe County for the murders of Bruce Bennett, 27, his wife Debra Bennett, 26, and their 7-year-old daughter,

Ewing is currently set to stand trial April 19 in Arapahoe County Ewing in the Bennett case.

After a motions hearing lasting more than three hours, Defense Attorney, Stephen McCrohan, asked for a continuance, saying a reliable trial date couldn’t be set at this time due to the amount of motion work still underway and scheduling issues created by COVID-19.

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

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

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

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

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

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

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

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

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

What is already known is that local buyers will have several new options for how to purchase favorites like Samoas and Thin Mints as Girl Scouts of the United States of America has introduced several news ways to purchase and deliver cookies, including drive-thru cookie booths and contactless porch cookie drop-offs, in an effort to adapt the cookie sales to COVID-19 conditions.

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

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

Logistics

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

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

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

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

Once in-person learning resumes for grades 6-12, students can access

cookies can contact them to do so.

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

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

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

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

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

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

remote meals from their assigned home school. The District recommends contacting your home school directly to inquire about their schedule.

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

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

Staffing help

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

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

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

Police kill robbery suspect in shootout STAFF REPORT

A 32-year-old man is dead after being shot by Lakewood Police, Jan. 12, after officers responded to a report of someone trying to break into cars at Prestige Imports, 9201 W. Colfax Avenue.

The man, later identified as Ty Spencer Walvatne-Donahey of Arvada.

According to Lakewood Police Department Spokesman, John Romero, officers responded to the business, but were unable to locate the suspect, described as a white male in his mid20s or 30s.

A short time later, officers were called to the Safeway at 9160 W. Colfax Avenue for a report of a robbery in progress. Again, no suspect was found and the investigation found no indication a robbery had occurred.

As officers were conducting the Safeway investigation, they spotted a

man matching the Prestige suspect’s description across the street from the Safeway. Romero said officers attempted to contact the suspect, who then fled to a driveway at a nearby residence in the 1500 block of Glen Dee Drive.

The suspect produced a handgun and pointed it at the officers. Romero said officers were fired on at least twice, and that they returned fire, striking the suspect. Walvatne-Donahey died at the scene.

In a press conference at the scene, Romero said the officers were not wearing body cameras during the incident.

As with all officer involved shootings, the Jefferson County Critical Incident Response Team will investigate the shooting. The officers who fired on the suspect will be placed on administrative leave while the incident is

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

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

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

“We’ve all been through a lot this past year and are longing for something that feels like normal,” said Leanna Clark, CEO of Girl Scouts of Colorado.

“What’s more reliable and comforting than Girl Scout Cookies?”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Consider Installing a Heat Pump Water Heater

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In comments she made to open the ceremony, Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper remarked on the privilege of serving that awaits the new officials and called the swearing-in ceremony “a great day.� Dahlkemper, a Democrat, will be the only commissioner who is not new to the board of county commissioners. “This is an occasion where we see representative government in action as we swear in the elected officials who have been chosen by the voters of Jefferson County,� said Dahlkemper. “Countywide elections matter.

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

She also echoed her commitment to carry out many of the reforms she promised during her campaign. “We will provide alternatives to prosecution and alternatives to incarceration,� King said. “We will also seek to earn trust through our conviction integrity unit that will reconsider wrongful convictions, work towards equity and collect

He said that while the immediate focus must remain on the COVID-19 pandemic, the county must be ready to address and lead on other looming issues, particularly the climate crisis after what he called a “wasted four years.� “Our forests and neighborhoods are in peril and Jeffco needs to be a leader in finding solutions for sustainable living,� said Kerr.

Following his swearing-in, Hennessy said he “really didn’t have much of anything to say.� “Not my first rodeo,� he added.

In August, 2020, Wheat Ridge City Council enacted an ordinance to better deal with the problem of illicit massage businesses operating in the city.

As part of the ordinance, massage businesses are now required to be licensed under Chapter 11 of the city’s Code and are required to have a separate massage license that

wasn’t previously required.

According to Wheat Ridge City Manager Patrick Goff, moving licensing of massage businesses from Chapter 16 of the Code, which deals with non-felony criminal matters like assault, menacing, reckless endangerment and prostitution, to Chapter 11, which establishes regulations around business licenses and permits, gives the City an easier way to shutter business not in compliance.

The new ordinance repealed Chapter 16, Article X from the city code and amended Chapter 11 to include massage businesses and allow the city to regulate businesses under SEE MASSAGE, P18

first dose of the vaccine eat homemade donuts and chat while they wait, making sure no one has an adverse reaction to the jab.

“I’m very glad to get it. I was looking forward to it and it seemed to go smoothly,” said resident Pat O’Connell. “This is the first step to freedom.”

Resident Norie Aufdemberge shares O’Conell’s sentiments.

“I am thrilled — can hardly wait for the next one,” she said. “I just know that eventually, if enough of us do it, it will be better for the whole city. That’s what I’m looking forward to, so I can travel and see grandkids.”

She said it’s been a year and a half since she last saw them and is hoping for a camping trip with them this summer.

Mandy Hampton, Chief Operating Officer at The Ridge Pinehurst, said the community partnered with CVS Pharmacy to arrange the event, and they were receiving the Pfizer vaccine.

“About 130 residents and staff got vaccinated today,” she said.

“We were about 90 days from opening when COVID really hit the metro area and shutdowns started. It changed everything.”

Hampton said the March outbreak affected their supply lines, disrupted work crews, some of whom came down with the virus, and they had to figure out new protocols to keep everyone safe

while making their final push to open.

The in-house vaccination events are not the only way the Ridge is trying to combat the coronavirus.

They’ve installed technology — a Bipolar Needlepoint Ionization system, which Hampton said are small units located inside the air conditioning and heat vents. She said each unit produces hundreds of millions of ions that circulate in the air, seeking out harmful particles including COVID, smog, pollen and other things you’d rather not breathe, and magnetically attaches to them, rendering them harmless.

“I sit on a senior living think tank here in Denver, and we had a vendor approach us about it.

It’s not new technology,” she said.

“The technology’s been around for nearly 10 years, and they said, “you really need to consider this for senior living because we just got the COVID third-party testing on it.” At that point, we scrambled to make sure it was legit science and it was actually going to work. So, we made them prove it to us, and then we went ahead and purchased it for all three buildings.”

There will be another vaccination day at the community in about three weeks when residents who participated in the first round will receive their booster shot of the vaccine. That will also be a chance for those who didn’t make the initial event to get their first dose. A third event will follow 21 days later to give the remaining second doses.

A Bipolar Ionization unit is used to clean the air at The Ridge Pinehurst in Lakewood.

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

BY SUSAN GREENE COLORADO NEWS COLLABORATIVE

Millete Birhanemaskel, a refugee, longtime Denver resident and businesswoman, grappled with 2020 as many others have: She tried to protect her family, her employees, her tenants from COVID’s reach.

She worried about the presidential election. And she managed to keep her coffee shop, the Whittier Cafe, from going under.

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

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

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

between Ethiopia’s federal government and local Tigrayan leaders prompted Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to bomb the region again, inciting a civil war that has killed civilians and forced more than 50,000 Tigrayans to flee.

Constantly trying to make contact

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

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

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

She is experiencing what clinicians call “vicarious trauma.”

But vicarious does not express how close it hits home, this civil war in a country where she has never officially lived, yet has defined so much of her life. It is the place, she says, that makes her “most full.” And yet the trauma her relatives are now enduring is a trauma they and her parents lived through four decades ago - and the third siege on the Tigrayan people in her grandmother’s lifetime.

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

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

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

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

“Thank God for that because I can’t be present with them and just forget about it, so I just sit in my car and scroll my phone for news about

Ethiopia. This has consumed my entire life. Every minute. And I don’t know how to stop that.”

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

Mother urges daughter to stay home

Her mother — who lived in that camp for several years and knows what she’s heading into — has begged her to stay here with her kids.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Taking racism and hate to task in Wheat Ridge

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The deadline was midnight, Jan. 15, and by then around two dozen Wheat Ridge residents had stepped up to volunteer to serve on the Wheat Ridge Race and Equity Task Force.

The Task Force is just one component of a larger initiative promoting racial equity and inclusion in Wheat Ridge in the wake of the George Floyd killing last summer. That incident sparked nationwide protests and a desire in many communities to re-examine policing policies and how law enforcement interacts with minority communities.

Responding to the unrest, Wheat Ridge City Council passed Resolution 35-2020, a resolution condemning racism.

Lakewood PD to gain access to the evidence in question, so they could examine and document it before any consumptive testing could take place. However, Municipal Prosecutor Lauren Stanek, arguing on behalf of Lakewood Police, filed a motion to quash the subpoena which was granted by Russell.

Citing Colorado Supreme Court advice to District Courts in similar

The resolution states, “Racism and hate have no place in our City. There is much work to be done to stop pervasive, long-standing and devastating racial injustices in our community.”

Marianne Schilling, assistant to the City Manager, said the city received around two-dozen applications for Task Force membership.

She said the group will likely consist of somewhere between 12 and 20 members when it launches.

According to Schilling, the applications will be anonymous during the selection process, to guarantee fairness and impartiality is maintained. The task force member selection is scheduled for February, with the group to start meeting in late February or early March.

“We’re hopeful the group will see these issues through a fresh lens

and bring a unique perspective,” Schilling said. “They’ll be tasked with reviewing city policies and procedures that contribute to inequity.”

The Task Force will meet twice a month for a year, and then make official recommendations on their findings to City Council. But Schilling says she’s hoping they will be initiating community dialog throughout the year and reporting to City Council on their progress.

Wheat Ridge Spokesperson, Sara Spaulding, said in addition to racial equity, the program will focus on inclusivity. Making sure the city is thoughtful in the way it deals with issues like Spanish translation of COVID-19 signage, and having sign language interpreters available when necessary are examples of things the city can do to become a

more accessible, welcoming city.

The Task Force is the latest step in the City’s attempt to be proactive in the way it handles race and equity.

According to Spaulding the city’s Police Department Community Advisory Group was established in 2019, to address issues like use of force and the Body-worn Camera Program. She said body cameras were an idea Wheat Ridge Police supported before Colorado Senate Bill 217 was passed, requiring body cameras to be worn by police, starting in July, 2023. The City’s website states “The City conducted a robust and engaging three-part anti-racism and inclusion training for supervisory staff in October. Additionally, City Council will undergo an implicit bias training at an upcoming study session.”

matters, Russell said it was clear that in this case, the prosecution was able to have experts open and test the evidence, and that the defense could arrange to be present to witness the process. She went on to say that if all of the evidence sample was consumed by the testing, it was the right of the defense to argue that the evidence should be suppressed.

Ewing’s Public Defender, Katherine Spengler argued for the necessity of the Defense documenting the evidence.

She said the Defense has documented and provided the Court

evidence that physical evidence in the case has been destroyed, lost, is missing, damaged or spoiled.

Citing a District Court Opinion from a 2007 Colorado case, People Vs. Wartena, she said the prosecution must first file an amended notice of consumptive testing, saying the burden would then fall on the prosecution to make sure they comply and are reasonable in their efforts to let the defense view anything that’s being tested.

Russell gave the prosecution until Jan. 19th to file their amended notice, the defense then has two weeks, until Feb. 2, to file a request for

anything they want that’s outside of CBI policy, for example, extra observers or videotaping of the process. The prosecution will then have until Feb. 16, to file their response to CBI. Russell will then make her ruling on the issue.

No consumptive testing can be done until Russell rules on the defense’s requests in February. A current protective order on the evidence in question will remain in effect until that ruling.

The other issues hotly contested in the hearing centered around the defense’s requests for sanctions against the Prosecution for denying

A new day for Golden’s old G Goldenite now seeks funds to spruce up faded symbol

GOFUNDME PAGE Ingalls’ fundraiser can be accessed by going to GoFundMe.com and typing in “Fix the Golden G.” The goal for the fundraiser has been revised to $2,780.

He said he would refund any donations if the community decides not to move forward with removing the G. Ingalls said he also wants the public to know that his efforts are 100% volunteer and all of the money would go toward paying for any eventual work on South Table Mountain.

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

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

“Being someone who was born (and) raised in Golden, in the house my dad grew up in which backs up to G … it’s perfect,” wrote one such commenter, Abby Young.

“The history behind it means more than making it look pretty. Find a new hobby.”

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

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

He also began rethinking his desire to remove the G. “Maybe as an outsider first seeing it nine years ago it looks like vandalism and something that has INANCIAL AND TAX SERV PL E TE F I CE COM U SIN ES S A N D P R OF E SS IO S B L L A M NALS S FOR

fallen into disrepair and I think that’s because of all the vandalism to the face surrounding the G itself,” said Ingalls. “If we were able to maintain and get all of the rest of the surrounding, obscuring graffiti off, I think it is something that we could be super proud of and that could be more representative of the town and the city itself.”

So, Ingalls has reoriented his effort toward that goal and updated the GoFundMe fundraising page he originally posted on the friends and neighbors page with updated text about his goal of “correcting the G to something we are proud of.”

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

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

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

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

PHOTOS BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO

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

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

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

Hikers walk in front of the G on South Table Mountain on Jan. 15.

Because of the unusual nature of the situation, Robbins said there is no clear process for how JCOS will evaluate the proposal and proceed.

However, any change to the status quo would involve community input and some kind of formal agreement, he said. JCOS would also have to approve whoever was actually hired to do any work.

Ingalls also recently reached out to Golden High School about his effort and whether they have any position on repainting the G given its ties to the school. Golden High School students are believed to have been involved in upkeeping the G in the past in addition to creating it in the first place.

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

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

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

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

Jeffco seeking residents ideas for disaster mitigation projects, priorities County starting process to update plan for mitigating natural disasters

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Anyone who has spent much time in Evergreen or Conifer likely knows the area has a long list of needs when it comes to reducing the potential harm posed by wildfires. However, they also likely recognize there are only limited resources available to dedicate to such projects.

Now residents are getting an opportunity to suggest their specific ideas — and try to make them a priority when it comes to using those resources — as Jeffco begins the process of updating its MultiHazard Mitigation Plan That plan, last updated in 2016, deals with all manner of natural disasters faced by the county and serves as the county’s roadmap for “reducing the loss of life and property by minimizing the risk of disasters.” The county must have a plan on file and update it every five years in order to qualify for FEMA grants that can be used to fund disaster mitigation projects.

On Jan. 14, Jefferson County held a virtual community information meeting where staff

involved in the updating process discussed the timeline for that process and asked for the community to begin offering their suggestions for how the plan, which is published online, can be updated and improved.

“Any feedback you give us and any project considerations you give us are truly being thoughtfully considered and more often than not incorporated into the plan,” said Erika Roberts, who works for Jefferson County Emergency Management.

Roberts said the mitigation plan is the primary guide for what projects the county ultimately is able to secure grant funding for because the county must be able to “point to a project in the plan and say we have thought about it” when applying for mitigation grants.

“If you have a project that is pre-identified in the plan and it’s specifically tied to one of your high or mean hazards then that just makes the project much more likely to get approved,” said Scott Field, an environmental consultant hired by the county to work on the plan update.

That could be particularly important going forward because the federal government is now making about 10 times more funding available to communities for disaster mitigation than it had previously through new grants called Building Resilient Infrastructure

HOW TO OFFER FEEDBACK Jeffco residents can offer suggestions for the county’s Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, including ideas for new projects and priorities, by completing an eightquestion online survey that can be accessed at bit.ly/JeffcoHMP. What’s Next?

County staff says they will take resident feedback into account as they created a draft for an updated plan, which will be unveiled in April. That’s when the county will also hold another community meeting where residents will be able to offer additional feedback on the plan.

and Communities (BRIC) grants.

Among that one of the existing community needs that could be addressed is the lack of safe fire evacuation routes in and out of Evergreen, Field said.

Roberts said one of the other goals the county has as it begins the plan update process is to identify how county agencies can better collaborate and leverage themselves to get those grant dollars.

She said that will likely involve identifying ways to better hold the county and its partners accountable for getting into a position to get those grants.

Among the possibilities being considered by the county is to hire a grant writer who would be tasked with handling the process of applying for those grants.

Roberts said two county agencies recently applied for a grant that would fund that position.

“We are looking at sort of the capacity building component for how do we as a county pull together all the county department hopes and dreams concerning mitigation,” she said. “All those conversations are being had and thought about.”

One meeting commenter from Evergreen named John, who did not give his last name during the meeting, said that was welcome news to him and other Evergreen residents who feel the county is not doing nearly enough to address wildfire risk in their community.

He said that he is particularly concerned about the many mitigation steps and projects identified in the 2016 plan that the county hasn’t been able to undertake because it has had trouble securing funding.

“I think it all boils down to more community education and maybe staffing up for grant applications,” he said. “But my goodness, with our risk rating and the amount of money that’s in that $500 million pool (the federal government allocated $500 million for BRIC grants last year), we should be able to get some significant dollars to start mitigating at least with the evacuation routes so people can get out of the neighborhoods.”

Pet adoption?

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

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

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

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

Remember Wisconsin?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks for the love letter

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

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

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

At times, humans are an industriously evil lot.

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

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

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

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

Our crisis today is the reverse.

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

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

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

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

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

When we listen to “the better angels of our nature,” we find that they celebrate the simple things, the

basic things — such as goodness, decency, love, kindness.

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

To lower our voices would be a simple thing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

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

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

Thank you.

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

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

Bringing experience to the table

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

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

from 2012 to 2020.

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

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

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

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

In that position, she reached out to a variety of different interests and legislators from across the political spectrum to craft (no pun intended) bipartisan solutions to difficult public policy questions. Among many successes, she developed and passed difficult tax simplification and telecommunications modernization bills. As the chair and a member of the party with significant majorities, she

didn’t need to share credit, but she had prime co-sponsors from the minority each time.

Jefferson County faces a variety of tough issues including severe budget difficulties that were initially caused by restrictions of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights and then exacerbated by the financial implications of the pandemic. Along with Lesley Dahlkemper, who will continue in office, Kraft-Tharp and Kerr are tasked with continuing to provide important government services to the residents of our county. We’re fortunate to have these proven public servants on the Board of County Commissioners at this critical time.

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

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

What you can find, almost everywhere, are green chile burgers, green chile burritos, green chiles in chocolate and wine. There’s green chile salsa, green chile sausages, chips with green chile and lime.

But according to Eddie V., (last name withheld) originally from Pueblo, but calling Denver home for decades, for the true connoisseur, a bowl of green chile with a side of warm flour tortillas is all you’ll ever need.

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

showing with the Mirasol, or Mosco chile, aka the Pueblo chile, grown in, you guessed it, Pueblo.

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

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

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

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

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

record the stories of history.”

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

Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

To allow for physical distancing and capacity monitoring, an advance free reservation is recommended.

Wood.Works is a follow up to 2017’s Paper.Works exhibit, and Parson said the center is already considering ways to continue to explore material-themed shows in future exhibits. It is housed in

the Main and Upper galleries and features 24 regional artists who use wood as their main medium.

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

To compliment the Wood.Works exhibit is Carley Warren: Three Pieces in the smaller Theatre Gallery. According to provided information, Warren has been creating art with wood for about 50 years, and SEE READER, P15

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

In 2008, Rickart’s mother passed away. At that time, Rickart, her sister, Gale, and her brother officially took over the farm. They planted 5,000 chile plants that year. They’ve since quadrupled that number, and Rickart has sought out every bit of knowledge about green chiles she can find. Last year, even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which she said gave them their share of difficulties, her farm sold out of chiles, Sahuaro by name, completely. The season is shorter up north than in the warmer climes of New Mexico, so don’t dawdle if you aim to try a Greeley chile in the fall.

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

“Mother Nature rules, from beginning to end.”

The fabled Santiago’s

Carmen Morales knows a few things about green chile, and green chiles. Morales founded Santiago’s.

on the metro area’s culinary map 30 years ago.

Now, with more than 28 locations, Santiago’s is virtually synonymous with breakfast burritos. But the green chile, she said, still reigns supreme. Morales’ parents were originally from New Mexico, where she said her mom learned to cook.

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

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

Morales said that scratch kitchen tradition continues to this day at every Santiago’s location. And when you see the numbers — the sheer volume of product they’re creating — it puts

in this exhibit she’s creating with a set of self-imposed rules: three consistent shapes can be used and each connection between the pieces must be made at a straight angle.

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

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

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

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

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

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

warmth that infuses everything.

The adoration so many have for Hepburn is all over the new documentary, “Audrey: More Than an Icon.”

The film traces Hepburn’s journey from war-torn Europe to the pinnacle of Hollywood, and then all over the world as an UNICEF ambassador. The documentary wisely spends as much time exploring her personality and guiding philosophies as it does on her fashion sense or ability to light up the screen. What emerges certainly isn’t the complete portrait of Hepburn - she was notoriously private about certain areas of her life - but it provides a window into a woman who was far more complex, indomitable and loving than most could imagine.

There will never be another like Audrey Hepburn — watch this film to on services like Vudu and Amazon to see why.

Littleton Museum looks to future Despite layoffs and closures, one of city’s cultural gems works to keep shining

“With this level of staffing, the museum just can’t be open at the levels it was before, even once we get COVID under better control,” she said. “That said, the city didn’t finish 2020 in as bad of shape as we thought we might. It could’ve been worse.”

Build back better

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Littleton Museum’s farms are fairly quiet these days.

On the 39-acre living history farms portraying life in pioneer-era Littleton, the blacksmith’s hammer seldom rings against an anvil.

Rarely does kindling crackle in the Bemis House’s iron stove. There’s no clopping of Clydesdales’ hooves on festival day hayrides.

Hit hard by COVID-era restrictions and budget cuts, the museum — one of the crown jewels of Littleton’s cultural offerings — begins 2021 denuded, but led by a determined, innovative staff dedicated to carrying on the mission of connecting people with the past — and building back stronger for the future.

When COVID struck last March, shuttering the museum to the public for four months, staff quickly turned their attention to online offerings.

“It’s amazing how quick you move when you have to,” said Tim Nimz, the museum’s director. “We had an art exhibit scheduled to open the week after we closed down. Two days after it was supposed to open, we had our first-ever virtual tour up online. We suddenly realized we may not know exactly what we’re doing, but it’s an opportunity to stretch our muscles.”

In the months that followed, several staff were furloughed as plunging local sales tax revenue hit city government.

Still, the museum produced a variety of online content, including how-to lessons from historical interpreters, virtual tours of art exhibits, and a popular video series called “Ask Farmer Steve.”

Clobbered by cuts

Despite the innovation, the ripple effects of COVID clobbered the museum.

By the end of the year, the mu-

seum was down seven employees.

One historical interpreter was laid off, and another took early retirement, accounting for half of the paid interpretation staff. The curator of interpretation resigned.

Layoffs and early retirement also took three front desk staff and a custodian.

From a height of 21 full-timeequivalent positions before the pandemic, the museum was left with 15 employees — too few to keep the farm buildings open to the public.

Hours of operation were cut from 47 a week to just 30 — so few that the museum’s accreditation through the American Alliance of Museums would have been threatened had the agency not adjusted their criteria for pandemic-battered institutions.

Visitation, which had climbed as high as 160,000 in recent years, plunged to around 25,000 in 2020 — and donations plunged with it.

As of early January the sprawling main museum building — home to exhibits on Littleton history, two temporary exhibit galleries, a theater and multipurpose rooms — remains closed to the public.

Though the museum grounds remain open by appointment, the farm buildings are still locked.

The 2021 events season, including summer camps and concerts, is still yet to be determined.

There are bright spots: a donor who wished to remain anonymous

gave more than $60,000 to the museum, and Nimz said the plan is to film a new introductory movie for visitors and overhaul the theater to be more accessible to people with disabilities Nimz is keeping his chin up.

“Yes, our ability to deliver service has been reduced, but that doesn’t reduce the quality of the service we provide,” he said. “We’re still an important place to help families rebalance their lives. There’s a hunger for places to go, for educational content, and we’re still providing that.”

Reshuffling the deck

Meanwhile, the museum’s place in the City of Littleton’s organizational structure has seen a reshuffling.

As layoffs and early retirements rippled through city government, leaving several departments without heads, City Manager Mark Relph reorganized the city’s organizational chart in late 2020.

Nimz, who for the past eight years had been the director of both the museum and Bemis Library, was reassigned to strictly oversee the museum — the job for which he was originally hired in 2002. Deputy library director Nancy Trimm was appointed to head the library.

Both the library and museum were placed under the purview of Kelli Narde, the city’s longtime communications director, whose title is now Director of Cultural and Media Services.

In its first 2021 meeting, city council unanimously ratified a pair of resolutions reshuffling several boards overseen by the library and museum. The resolutions eliminated the library and museum boards, folding their duties into the Littleton Arts and Cultural Commission, which was expanded from nine members to 11.

Overall, Narde called the reshuffling a positive evolution.

“Communications, the library and museum are the most public-facing departments in the city,” she said.

“It just makes sense. We can coordinate and share resources on exhibits, events, marketing, video and all this digital programming we’re doing now.”

Narde said city leadership hopes and plans to rebuild the museum to full strength, but it will take time.

Narde is working with Nimz and other officials to brainstorm new revenue streams to better support the museum.

One idea: an admission fee for non-residents.

“This is one of the only museums in our entire region that doesn’t charge for entry,” she said. “Residents should still get in free. The taxpayers of Littleton have paid for this facility and should get to use the heck out of it, but I think out-of-town visitors would tolerate a nominal fee. Frankly, I think a lot of people are surprised there’s no admission fee as-is.”

Another idea: more events.

“I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag yet,” she said, “but we’re talking about things more like art receptions.”

Though the idea has been floated in years past, Narde said she did not foresee pushing for the museum grounds to be used as a large-scale wedding or event venue.

Supporting the museum has a larger purpose too, she said: it’s a linchpin of longer-term efforts to market Littleton as a regional tourist destination.

Although Visit Littleton, a pilot project to boost local tourism, is largely dormant in the COVID era, Narde said the museum could be a big draw.

“If you have to come to the Denver metro area, why not stay in Littleton? While you’re here, why not eat in our restaurants? Why not take your kids to our museum?”

Relph, the city manager, said Littleton is somewhat unique in still operating a city-run museum and a library that hasn’t been absorbed by a regional district.

“There’s a financial commitment there that’s pretty deep, but I don’t see us pursuing a separation from the city any time in the foreseeable future,” Relph said. “The connection to the community is just too close and too deep.”

Relph said he has been impressed by the new digital offerings from the library and museum.

“I couldn’t be more proud of how they have stepped up,” he said.

Will the city be able to bring the museum back to full strength?

“The short answer is yes,” Relph said. “The service might change in the long view. We’re trying to react to what the community wants and needs going forward. It may not look like it did a year ago. What can we do better? But that said, we definitely want that museum back at what we consider full service.”

Narde said she understands that the museum is an easy target for cuts in tough times.

“This isn’t law enforcement,” she said. “It’s not snow plowing. It’s not maintaining the sewers. But it’s at the heart of quality of life in Littleton. It will adapt. It will thrive.”

A cup of the future New Golden coffee shop employs robot barista

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At first look, the new Robo Esso espresso bar in Golden looks like a typical coffee spot.

There’s a wall menu with familiar drinks, a large espresso machine and even the requisite wood paneling and plants that together cultivate a classically-chill café vibe.

What’s neither classic nor typical, however, and ultimately very hard to overlook is the giant robot arm, which looks like it may have escaped from an old arcade game only to end up on the counter where one might expect the cash register to be.

Things really get interesting when you place an order on the shop’s tablet and the arm whirs to life, pressing buttons, pouring flavoring and steaming milk (yes really) to concoct your order, which is deposited in a small window in about a minuteand-a-half.

It’s a futuristic way of making coffee, but one that owner and entrepreneur Matthew Jones says has become a fit for a present where coffee shops are faced with increasingly complex challenges such as steep competition, high wage costs and, now, COVID-19.

“Our philosophy is kind of if the robot can do it let the robot do it and save time and money to kind of go into the recipe and making a better product,” said Jones. “The idea is to make the product just like a human would.”

Jones is no stranger to the coffee business. He previously operated a coffee roasting company called Buffawhale Coffee & Tea in Robo Esso’s Golden space as well as a coffee shop of the same name in a casino in Black Hawk.

The company did good business selling its roast to hotels and ski resorts but the luxury nature of the product meant it was also one of the first things on the chopping block when COVID-19 hit.

“I had a choice of reinventing who our customers were and that whole

business model or going all in on the robots,” said Jones, who had already been messing around with a robot that he hoped could help a barista in the shop.

He decided to go with the latter option, but scrapped the model he had been working on in favor of one that could autonomously complete all the steps of making each drink on the menu.

That was important not only because it would eliminate the need for a paid barista but also because it would give customers access to a contactless cup of joe at a time when so many are looking for exactly that.

Now, Jones is hoping to expand the concept to other locations around the Denver metro area, although he’s careful to say that his goal is definitely not to take out your favorite corner café.

“This is for more of those graband-go `I’m in mall or I’m in an airport or a hospital’ and this is a convenient way to get a cup of coffee,” he said.

But while it may never replace the friendliness of your favorite barista, Jones said he his concept could be a serious boost to mom and pop coffee shops. Such shops, he said, typically need to sell at least 200 drinks a day to make a profit, a tall order for many.

“We’re bringing that labor cost down pretty drastically so that you can offer premium quality products at pretty low prices because most of the cost is going to the product,” said Jones, who notes each location will still require about two hours of labor a day to complete stocking, cleaning and other tasks.

A look at Google reviews of the month-old shop suggests the concept is already catching on with some.

“Awesome coffee, a knowledgeable barista and a robot barista,” wrote Aaron Monroe. “What’s not to love?”

Online reviewer Jurassic Dad, meanwhile, made this simple observation: “(It) was a very tasty cup from the future.”

“licensing” as opposed to using “unlawful acts” in Article X. “There are illicit businesses out there posing as legitimate massage businesses. There’s even human trafficking and prostitution going on. These types of businesses — some are licensed some aren’t,” Goff said. “We’re trying to make it easier for the legitimate ones to get licensed.”

He said Wheat Ridge Police will still be doing stings and inspections, but now, if the business doesn’t have the proper license, there’s a more streamlined process to shut them down.

“Before, you had to prove a sexual act,” Goff said. “Now you don’t, so

it’s a great new tool for us to use.”

There are currently 27 massage businesses operating in Wheat Ridge according to city records.

Goff said the majority have gone along with the new licensing requirements, but it’s still a work in progress. Massage businesses operating in the city were given a 90 day grace period from when the ordinance was enacted, to comply with new licensing requirements.

In a memo to the Mayor and City Council, Wheat Ridge Police, Division Chief Darrel Guadnola reports that as of Dec. 28, 2020, 16 of the 27 businesses were in compliance. Of the 11 remaining non-compliant businesses, four have had paperwork returned for missing items, two have paperwork currently turned in, as the police department does background checks.

Five remain non-compliant.

Arvada eatery with a mission keeps jamming along

BY BRIAN WILLIE AND MARK HARDEN ROCKY MOUNTAIN PUBLIC MEDIA

During the pandemic, while Jack’s/Steamers is closed for indoor dining, it relies on selling handcrafted jams and jellies -- labeled “A Different Kind of Jam” — to help generate revenue. And that’s where Crysta’s skills come in handy.

Crysta is a worker “benefitting from structure.” Crysta has autism. She’s also an employee at an Arvada business that values her skills — a business that is working hard to keep people like Crysta on the job through the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Crysta is a great example of what we do here,” says Sarah Smith, director of culinary development at Jack’s Bar & Grill and Steamers Coffeehouse.

It’s a multi-faceted, family-owned business that serves coffee in the morning, meals through the day and drinks at night. And, says Smith, about half of its workers have intellectual and developmental disabilities, including Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and seizure disorders.

Many work in its prep kitchen.

“Our mission is to prove that you can run a successful and sustainable business while employing people with disabilities,” says Smith, who oversees the business’ initiative to employ special-needs people. and routine. She likes to know what she’s going to do every day when she comes in. She likes things to be

done in the same way. And so we immediately looked at what her skills were, and realized that her skill set matches perfectly with labeling those jars of jam.”

Crysta is “just one example of what we do with all of our employees, disability or not,” Smith says.

“We find what people are good at and help them get even better.

The Colorado community has taken notice. Recently, Denver Bron-

cos placekicker Brandon McManus’ charity donated $5,000 to help the business’ employees. The Arvada Chamber of Commerce last year honored Jack’s/Steamers as the city’s Business of the Year, recognizing its efforts on behalf of those with disabilities.

Smith estimates that Jack’s/ Steamers employed about 60 workers, with and without disabilities, before COVID-19 hit. Now it’s trying

to keep as many of those employees on the payroll as possible.

As the pandemic gained force, programs to assist many of the business’ employees with disabilities “stopped almost overnight, and we are so important to their lives,” Smith says.

“Continuing to be able to employ people while the world around them is full of so much unknown is really important to us and to them.”

Golden man embraces pursuit of extreme weather ‘It’s the thrill of the chase’ STAFF REPORT

Many people prefer to avoid severe weather when they can.

Then there’s Cody Cooper.

“I love going after the highest wind that I can get recorded,” said Cooper. “I love snow and snow squalls and stuff like that and, of course, summertime thunderstorms which are another one of my favorite things to go chase.”

Cooper, who is a lifelong Golden resident, said his interest in extreme weather was sparked early when his grandfather showed him the blockbuster movie “Twister” when he was five years old.

It wasn’t long after that Cooper began heading up to the tallest hill in his Golden neighborhood, which he dubbed Stormchaser Hill, to watch the clouds roll through.

“I ended up making my own anemometers as a kid out of coffee cans and Dixie cups,” he said. When Cooper turned 16, he began driving farther afield in search of interesting weather.

He’s been chasing weather and storms in Colorado and western Kansas and Nebraska ever since, and now does so inside a mini van that has been outfitted with a weath-

Lifelong learning OLLI gives seniors a way to continue learning, connect with others

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Curiosity. Connection. Camaraderie.

These are the words that participants in the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute use to describe the program that provides classes to older adults on everything from art appreciation to science to poli-

tics to chess.

Known as OLLI (pronounced Ollie), participants can’t say enough about how much the classes have broadened their horizons, provided them with new friends with similar interests and led to gettogethers outside of classes.

OLLI is an adult-learning program operated by the University of Denver. People 50 and older pay a per-quarter fee for three quarters each year and can take as many classes as they want. OLLI is available at 120 institutions across the United States thanks to grants from the Bernard Osher Foundation.

Balance is everything.

Usually classes are held at six sites around metro Denver, with the closest at Jefferson Unitarian Church near 32nd and Youngfield, but thanks to COVID-19, all classes are virtual. Participants say while they love the camaraderie afforded by in-person classes to learn both new concepts and from each other, having Zoom classes during the pandemic has been a windfall to keep them engaged while they shelter at home. “(OLLI has) opened up a whole new world for me,” said Lynn Moyle, 72, of Evergreen. “It has allowed me to continue my learning and to keep my brain intact. I take classes just for the stimulation.

Before COVID, it was such a nice way to meet other people who really appreciate learning. I learn as much from the class participants as the facilitator.”

Jim Keller, 82, who lives in Mount Vernon, added that Zoom classes have been helpful during the pandemic, and another plus is he hasn’t had to drive down the hill for classes. He said he’s humbled by the knowledge of the instructors and the students, many of whom have life experiences and knowledge to add to discussions.

“It’s addicting,” said Karen Lindsay of Genesee, who takes and teaches classes, and is cochair of the Member Relations Council. “There’s a lot of everything. If you can’t find something you’re interested in in our cata-

For more information, visit universitycollege.du.edu/olli. log, there’s something wrong. Especially for those who are alone, this is a great way to connect.”

OLLI is offering 150 classes for the winter quarter, and 1,500 people area-wide are enrolled for the online classes. Pre-COVID-19, there were close to 3,000 enrollees, according to Lindsay.

She says while offering online classes has opened up OLLI to more people, the older generation’s fear or lack of access to technology impedes some. A class and one-on-one help are available to get members navigating the online platform.

Wonderful way to learn

Lindsay noted that OLLI provides a great solution to people 50 and older who are still curious and want to continue to learn.

It’s better than sitting at home reading a book because there are others to learn from and to discuss ideas with. Participants get to hear a variety of perspectives, SEE LEARNING, P21

gust up tornadoes spinning on either side of us, about a football field away.”

“We outran (the storm) and got in front of it and ended up getting some just incredible pictures of when the sky turns a dark green and you can just feel the energy in the air from the storm,” said Cooper.

Another one of Cooper’s most memorable weather outings came much closer to home near the intersection of highways 93 and 72, where Cooper was attempting to take a weather shot. That’s when an 82-mile-per-hour wind gust came through and nearly knocked him over.

“That was one of the coolest things because you can’t predict when a wind gust is coming through,” he said. “You can just hope it comes through while you are doing a live video and it did. So that was pretty cool.”

For Cooper, the adrenaline of the chase outweighs any anxiety he might ever feel about his chases. However, his girlfriend, Willow Ball, admits to feeling nervous sometimes.

“I am sometimes,” she said. “But for the most part I know he’s happy and I don’t want to interfere.”

adding to the learning.

Moyle retired in 2013, and afraid she would be bored, she joined OLLI and took nine classes the first quarter. Now she and her husband, Dan, take three to five classes a session.

She said Zoom OLLI classes during the pandemic were lifechanging, making it nice to keep learning during COVID-19.

Lindsay called Moyle the epitome of OLLI’s motto: “Curiosity Never Retires.” Moyle has taken classes in art history, mindfulness, movies and more.

Bob Magnani, 81, of Genesee has taken more than 100 classes in his 10 years in OLLI including memoir writing, and several of those students now meet separately to continue working on their writing. The same is true about chess. An OLLI class led to a chess club that meets regularly.

Magnani teaches classes about film and acting, but he doesn’t take or teach science classes since his career was in engineering.

“What a delight it’s been,” he said of his OLLI experiences. “You don’t get a degree, there are no exams, you can keep quiet or speak up during discussions and you can miss a couple classes. It’s a nice casual atmosphere.”

He says taking, preparing for and teaching classes now takes up more than half his time — with every minute worthwhile.

It’s pretty easy to add a class to the curriculum. If you want to be a facilitator or instructor, you fill out a form and send it to the OLLI Curriculum Committee, which reviews your proposal, Lindsay said.

“You don’t have to have any teaching experience,” she said. “It just needs to be something you have a great interest and passion about, and you’re willing to get up in front of a bunch of people and talk.”

Lindsay said OLLI is important to keeping older adults active, engaged and learning. “(Students) want to keep opening their minds to new things and new ideas,” Lindsay said. “It’s wonderful. I am so happy so many people in Evergreen are participating.”

Magnani added: “It keeps you intellectually alive. That’s its best feature.”

Sheriff’s Office decision to extend sentences impacts 200 inmates Man says he learned his sentence would be extended by 83 days on day he was supposed to be released

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After spending more than 400 days and $30,000 completing a work release sentence for a DUI, Chalmers Bradbury was eagerly counting the days till Dec. 9, when that sentence was set to end.

But when that date finally arrived, Bradbury was met only with bad news.

“I called the jail on the ninth to say what time should I come in to give you my GPS and the breathalyzer I carry around,” Bradbury said. “And that’s when they said my (release) date had been changed to March 2.”

That change came as a shock to Bradbury, who had received an email as recently as Nov. 17 from a Sheriff ’s Office staff member confirming that his work release sentence would end on Dec. 9.

That email also requested that Bradbury pay the rest of the $70 a day in rent he owed as part of the conditions of his work release at least two weeks prior to that date.

He says no one at the jail mentioned any change to his sentence when he came in to make that payment.

However, when Bradbury asked a deputy about the change, he was told his was one of 200 people in the jail system — including

bility of a change to their release date. On Nov. 1, these changes went into effect and inmates had the ability any time after Nov. 1 to look up their release date to see if it had changed.”

However, Bradbury said he was not giving any notification on Nov. 1 and says the suggestion that he and other inmates were makes no sense given that he was sent an email on Nov. 15 with the Dec. 9 date.

Bradbury has also provided Colorado Community Media with an email he received on Dec. 29 that addresses the recalculation of sentences. The email states “due to unforeseen circumstances EHD ([the work release program) staff were not available to notify each person of their change in expected release dates. You, however, have always had access 24/7 to look up your expected release date by logging into the Jefferson County website.”

Bradbury said the email is the first official communication he has received from the Sheriff ’s Office about the change, which he feels is unacceptable given that it has come weeks after he thought he would be released.

“Whether it is legal or not legal, it is inhumane to provide prisoners with a date and then, without cause, change the date within hours of their original planned release,” said Jess Raths, a friend of Bradb’s who is helping him look into the issue.

Beyond his current frustration, Bradbury said the experience is also making him eye March far more warily than he did December.

“I’m like ‘what’s to keep them from changing it again?” he said.

Jeffco judge postponing jury trials through mid-February Judge says county cannot currently safely convene juries STAFF REPORT

All jury trials in Jefferson and Gilpin counties will now be sus-

pended through Feb. 15 after First Judicial District Chief Judge Jeffrey Pilkington issued an amendment to an existing order

suspending trials as a result of COVID-19.

Pilkington’s new order states that while new cases, deaths and test positivity have been decreasing in Jeffco, he does not feel the situation has improved enough that the court could hold jury trials.

“The Court remains committed to trying jury trials in a manner which balances a defendant’s rights with the obligation to do so in a safe and fair forum,” Pilkington wrote in the order. “Unfortunately, the Court finds that it cannot safely do so for the next six weeks.”

The order goes on to state that the court “cannot safely assemble a jury pool at this time in the pandemic.”

The new order means that the current suspension of trials, which began on Nov. 6, will last for at least three months.

It will also exacerbate what outgoing First Judicial District Attorney Pete Weir has called “the unprecedented backlog of

cases” the court is facing as a result of two suspensions of jury trials because of COVID-19, plus delays that also occurred when trials were allowed to resume during the COVID-19 pandemic with significant precautions put in place. Jury trials were also suspended on March 15 and did not resume until August before being suspended again in November.

The order states that if jury trials resume as anticipated on Feb. 16, the county will use the same prioritization methodology that it used when trials first resumed in the fall, which was designed to ensure that trials were only greenlighted after all parties had expressed that the case was ready to proceed to trial. Pilkington also writes in the order that it may be “amended as necessary as circumstances have changed rapidly and may continue to do so.”

While jury trials are suspended, the court is continuing to conduct other business “using remote technology whenever possible,” according to the order.

No ‘magical number’ for herd immunity Even with arrival of vaccine, there are many factors to consider

is 50%.

It’s also important to note that R0 is separate from the severity of the virus. Some fearsome viruses, like ebola, have low R0 values.

By John Ingold The Colorado Sun

This is where we run into the first pothole on the way to herd immunity nirvana, though. R0 isn’t a fixed number for any virus.

“There is no one exact number for R0,” Miller said. “That can vary depending on the population, depending on the virus.”

And the R0 for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is especially uncertain. Some estimates come in as low as 2. Some are as high as almost 6.

Miller said most studies are pegging the R0 for the coronavirus between 3 and 5. That means the herd immunity threshold is between 67 percent and 80 percent.

(Quick side note: We’re talking about the natural reproduction number here — how the virus would spread in a population with no immunity if we did nothing to stop it. Researchers in Colorado are also trying to estimate the effective reproduction number, which is how the virus is spreading now after taking into consideration everything we’re doing to slow it down, such as mask-wearing and social distancing. The latest estimates place the effective reproduction number in the state at 0.7, meaning the virus is in decline for now.)

On Jan. 13, Colorado officially crossed the 209,000 mark for the number of people who have received at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine — meaning that more than 3 percent of the state’s population is now on its way to immunity through inoculation.

But how much further do we still have to go?

The launch of the vaccination campaign reignites questions about what it means to reach “herd immunity” in the state, that glorious threshold shrouded in the mind’s eye in a magical fog, for beyond that point lies normalcy. More technically, once enough people in a community are immune from a virus to reach herd immunity, the virus can’t find enough susceptible people to jump into and the local epidemic begins to die out.

There’s a problem with this clean, perfect image of herd immunity, though. It is, alas, not quite as simple as it seems.

“There is not a magical number,” said Dr. Lisa Miller, an epidemiologist and a professor at the Colorado School of Public Health.

Miller, with more than 20 years working in public health, knows this problem well. She previously worked at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment as the head of the communicable disease branch and as the state epidemiologist.

“I think it’s easier to think of it as a range of numbers,” she said.

“This really isn’t an exact number.”

And even that range of numbers is difficult to pin down with a virus as new and evolving as the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic.

There’s a bunch of different factors to consider.

The magic formula

Herd immunity is a complicated concept, but it’s also just a pretty simple formula. To calculate the percentage of people who need to be immune from a virus in order to reach herd immunity, all you have to know is the virus’s basic reproduction number — its R0 (pronounced R-naught). The number represents the average number of people that each infected person will pass the virus to.

Once you know that, calculating herd immunity is something any schoolkid could do, using the formula. Here it is: 1 - (1 ÷ R0) Divide 1 by the R0 value, then subtract the result from 1. If your R0 is a terrifyingly high 18 (which it can be with measles), then the herd immunity threshold is 94%.

If R0 is 2 — something more akin to a slow-spreading common cold — the herd immunity threshold

Number isn’t stable

Viruses can mutate

Even if we think we have a good handle on the R0 for SARS-CoV-2, that doesn’t mean it will stay put.

The newly discovered variant of the virus first identified in the U.K. is a good example of this. Researchers estimate that the variant may be as much as 70 percent more transmissible. The researchers arrived at these estimates by looking at rates of spread during periods of high levels of social distancing in England, and warned that “extrapolation to other transmission contexts therefore requires caution.”

So it’s not clear what the new variant’s R0 might be or, in turn, how much that would impact the herd immunity threshold. But a more transmissible coronavirus would require a community to have greater levels of immunity before it clears the bar.

All populations are different

The concept of one, simple herd immunity number rests on a bit of a fallacy. It imagines that, in a large state like Colorado, everyone just mixes randomly like pingpong balls in a lotto drawing.

But Miller said that is obviously not the way society works.

“These are really theoretical measures,” she said.

So it is entirely possible that Colorado could reach an 80 percent overall vaccination rate against the coronavirus and still have large pockets of the population that are prone to outbreaks.

This is the scenario that public health leaders have been warning

about for years with diseases like measles.

Different communities within the state will also have different herd immunity thresholds. That is because R0 for the virus will be different depending on how populations interact. Dense communities where people live closer together, giving the virus a better chance of spreading, will have a higher herd immunity thresholds.

Less dense communities will have lower ones.

As a piece published in 2019 in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases put it: “Because R0 is a function of the effective contact rate, the value of R0 is a function of human social behavior and organization, as well as the innate biological characteristics of particular pathogens.”

How good is the vaccine?

Now let’s talk about what it means to be immune. It’s not the same thing as being vaccinated.

Miller said no vaccine is perfect.

Even the best don’t work for 100 percent of the people who receive them.

The current coronavirus vaccines, made by Pfizer and Moderna, put up mind-blowingly-good efficacy numbers in clinical trials — both around 95 percent. When one of the key researchers who helped develop the vaccines heard those results, he reportedly sat down at his desk in his home office and wept.

A really good vaccine makes herd immunity a lot easier. It means that more of those who have been vaccinated are also immune, allowing them to count toward reaching the threshold, something Gov. Jared Polis nodded to in a news conference in December.

“The pandemic aspect of it is over once a sufficient number of people have been vaccinated,” Polis said. “I’ll leave that to the scientists to say whether that is 50 percent or 70 percent or 80 percent, but it’s a lot lower percentage of people before the pandemic is over at 94% efficacy than it would be if the vaccine were only 60 or 70 percent effective.”

Real world is test

Miller cautioned that efficacy and effectiveness are two different concepts in the public health world. Efficacy is what happens in a study, when everything is done as by-the-book as possible. Effectiveness is what happens in the grime and grind of the real world.

We don’t yet know what the effectiveness of the coronavirus vaccines is.

Miller said this probably isn’t a huge deal with the current vaccines. As long as they keep their real-world effectiveness near their clinical trial numbers, the population of vaccinated-but-notimmune people won’t be large enough to make much of a difference.

But this analysis changes if vaccines that come out in the future aren’t as successful.

Preliminary data for the vac-

cine made by AstraZeneca — one of the next up in the pipeline — showed it to have 70 percent efficacy, on average. That’s low enough that it could impact herd immunity calculations.

“In that case,” Miller said, “it might be useful to understand if it changes this range we’re talking about.”

Infection immunity unclear

There’s another way people could potentially be added to a herd immunity calculation, and it’s a crude one: by gaining immunity the old-fashioned way through infection.

In the race between virus and vaccine in Colorado right now, the virus is way out in front. The latest modeling estimates project that more than 1.3 million Coloradans have been infected with the coronavirus. That’s nearly a quarter of the state.

But there’s no consensus on whether those people should count when thinking about the state’s herd immunity threshold.

Many people who have been infected develop at least short-term immunity — and maybe longerterm, as well.

Dr. Eric France, CDPHE’s chief medical officer, said in an interview last month that so-called natural immunity gained through infection will be “an important contribution” to reaching herd immunity in Colorado.

“Add to that the 70 percent to 90 percent of people who will say they want to be vaccinated and we’ll be fine with regards to herd immunity,” France said.

No firm promise

But some medical experts note that natural immunity appears to vary from person to person. And some people have reported two separate coronavirus infections over the course of the pandemic.

At a news conference last month, the current state epidemiologist, Dr. Rachel Herlihy, said there had been about 300 people in Colorado who had tested positive once and then, some time later, tested positive again. It is unclear, though, how many of those are true reinfections.

“I think there’s, unfortunately, lots of things we still don’t know about reinfection with this virus,” Herlihy said then.

This uncertainty causes Miller to urge caution. Stick with what you’re sure of, she said.

“What we’re really focused on and what we can control is that vaccine herd immunity,” she said.

“The goal and what public health is focused on is looking at the percentage of the population that is vaccinated.”

Do kids count?

Colorado’s vaccination campaign currently envisions inoculating only people 18 and older.

That may change if clinical trials show the vaccines are also safe and effective for kids. But, right now, kids are off the table. see HERD, p24

So does that mean they count against the herd immunity calculation?

If they do, it would be incredibly difficult for Colorado to reach herd immunity statewide. There are nearly 1.3 million kids ages 17 and younger in Colorado, according to State Demography Office estimates. They make up nearly 22 percent of the state’s population.

If none of them are vaccinated and natural immunity is not counted, it means Colorado would have to vaccinate over 85% of the adult population just to reach the lowest level in the estimated herd immunity range.

But what if kids don’t spread the virus as easily as adults?

Some studies have suggested that younger kids are less likely to be virus-spreaders. Others have found evidence of the opposite.

Miller said the unknowns are reason to continue testing the vaccines in order to one day make them available to children.

“They are part of the population, so I think that’s an important issue,” she said.

Disease likely here to stay

The good news about COVID-19 is that, as vaccines go into arms,

herd immunity can now be reached without accepting the massive death toll that would go along with trying to achieve it through infection.

The bad news about COVID-19 is that it is likely here to stay, even after we reach herd immunity.

And it is uncertain how often we’re going to need to keep getting vaccinated in the future in order to stave it off.

“There’s still lots we still have to learn about how to maintain immunity with the vaccine,” Miller said. ”This is all assuming vaccine protection is maintained, so we have to figure out how to do that.”

To public health professionals like Miller, this means the message on herd immunity has to be one about endurance and vigilance. Thus, Miller thinks the focus on a single, magical number for herd immunity is counterproductive.

It’s not a finish line we can cross and then immediately declare victory. This is a race we’re just going to have to keep running for a while.

“The debates about the number,” she said, “are missing the point.”

Due to the construction of Chatfield Reservoir Dam and Manifold, the point of diversion decreed in CA 791 is within the high water line and a portion of the ditch alignment was inundated by the reservoir.

Consequently, water diverted under the City Ditch water right is diverted and measured at the Chatfield Dam and Manifold. The diversion of the City Ditch water right at Chatfield Dam and Manifold is authorized by C.R.S. § 37-28-111(1) and justified by the construction of Chatfield Reservoir, as generally depicted in Exhibit A. e.

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

time.” The State Engineer has determined and administered this priority as being entitled to 42.95 c.f.s. iv. House Bill No. 140 did not specify a flow rate limit. h. Statutory and Decreed Uses: Mechanical, agricultural, irrigation, mining, and city purposes. I. CLAIM FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHT 4. Detailed Description of Proposed Change: a. Statement of Change, Including a Description of All Water Rights to be Changed: Denver Water seeks to quantify the historical consumptive use and return flows and add alternate points of diversion and places of storage for approximately 12 c.f.s. decreed to Priority 1 that was historically used to irrigate City Park, Washington Park and Denver Country Club (“Subject Water Right”). The existing point of diversion for the Subject Water Right is described in paragraph 3.d.iii. above. The alternate points of diversion and places of storage Denver Water seeks to add for the City Ditch water right are described in paragraph 4.b. and 4.c. below. The Subject Water Right will be diverted through these alternate points of diversion, stored, and treated and used in Denver Water’s municipal system for delivery within Denver Water’s service area shown in Exhibit B, areas served by contract, and for replacement of depletions for the purposes described in paragraph 4.e. below. The place of use of any water diverted or stored under this water right is subject to and will be in accordance with the terms of the Colorado River Cooperative Agreement effective September 26, 2013 or as amended.

Diversion Records, Map of Historically Irrigated Lands, Methods of Analysis: Denver Water may rely on the summaries of records of actual diversions of the Subject Water Right attached as Exhibit C to this Application. Denver Water will use a parcel-by-parcel analysis of the irrigated area shown in Exhibit D to determine the historical consumptive use because it seeks to change only a portion of the City Ditch water right, which portion Denver Water historically used at the lower end of the Ditch north of I-25. II. CLAIM FOR RIGHT OF SUBSTITUTION 5. Return Flow Replacement through Substitution: Denver Water will have return flow replacement obligations resulting from the historical use of the City Ditch

water right that is the subject of this application.

Denver Water will use the sources listed in paragraph 6 below to meet its return flow replacement obligations (“Replacement Sources”). Denver Water may also use water derived from water rights in addition to those set forth in paragraph 6 below pursuant to statutory procedures; provided the water so released is fully consumable. All releases of replacement sources to meet Denver Water’s return flow replacement obligations will be made in the same time, amount, and location of the historical return flows when a call is being administered on the South Platte River downstream of the historical accrual location senior to the date of this application. 6. Replacement Water: Denver Water owns water rights originally decreed in the South Platte River basin for direct flow irrigation uses and has changed the consumptive use portions of these rights, by decree, to all municipal uses. Denver Water also owns water rights in tributaries to the Colorado River, which Denver imports to the South Platte River basin for beneficial use. In addition, Denver Water owns water rights in not-nontributary Arapahoe and Upper Arapahoe Aquifer formations and water rights in the nontributary Arapahoe and Upper Arapahoe, Laramie-Fox Hills, and the Lower Arapahoe Aquifer formations. Water from these sources will be made available in the amounts and at locations necessary to replace return flows from diversions under the changed City Ditch water right. Water from these sources that is also once or successively used through Denver Water’s potable water system and returned to the South Platte River, and its tributaries will be made available in the amount and at locations, including, but not limited to, outfalls of the various wastewater treatment plants that discharge effluent attributable to Denver Water’s service area, necessary to replace return flows from the Subject Water Right decreed under the December 10, 1883 Adjudication Decree.

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

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

Originally decreed for irrigation uses, this water right has been subject to various change proceedings. Past decrees have determined the average annual consumptive use under the Guiraud 3T Ditch to be 21.825 acre feet per year per 1.0 cfs. MMRC therefore owns 75.972 acre-feet of consumptive use replacement water associated with its 3.481 cfs interest in the Guiraud 3T Ditch. The firm yield of Guiraud 3T Ditch owned by MMRC is shown on Exhibit B. b. Spinney Mountain Reservoir.

In that decree the headgate was located on the North bank of Deer Creek at a point whence the S1/4 Corner between Section 31 and 32, Township 6 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M., bears North 85° 30’ East, 1,398 feet. Water Division No. 1 District Court Case No. W-7434 changed the location of the headgate for 0.28 of a cubic-foot-per-second to the Nickerson No. 2 Ditch, as shown above. This 0.28 of a cubic-foot-per-second is included in this contract. h. Slaght Ditch. In accordance with the Decree entered in Civil Action No. 1678 of Park County District Court, on May 22, 1913, the Slaght Ditch was awarded a direct flow priority of May 1, 1863, for 2.0 cubic feet per second for irrigation purposes. The source of water is the North Fork of the South Platte River. The point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch was originally established to be a point on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 SE1/4, of Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 2,060 feet North and 490 feet West of the SE Corner of Section 21. Pursuant to a decree entered by the District Court for Water Division 1 in Case No. 82CW472, on October 3, 1983, the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch was approved as an alternate point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch water right. The point of diversion of the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch is located on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NW1/4 SW1/4, Section 22, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 1,240 feet East and 1,740 feet North of the SW Corner of Section 22. In Case No. 79CW339, 0.12 of a cubic foot per second of the Slaght Ditch water right was changed to augmentation, replacement and storage purposes. In Case No. 81CW253, the point of diversion for 0.008 of a cubic foot per second of the Slaght Ditch priority was changed to a new location, with the water continuing to be used for irrigation purposes. Of the remaining 1.872 cubic feet per second, 0.481 of a cubic foot per second was transferred by MMRC in Case No. 2003CW238 and 0.727 was transferred in Case No. 2016CW3197. i. Mack Ditch No. 2. In accordance with the Decree entered in Civil Action No. 1678 of the Park County District Court, on May 22, 1913, the Mack Ditch No. 2 as awarded a direct flow priority of May 1, 1863, for 1.0 cubic foot per second for irrigation purposes. The source of water is the North Fork of the South Platte River. The point of diversion of the Mack Ditch No. 2 was originally established to be on the South bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River at a point in the NE1/4 SE1/4, Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., Park County, Colorado whence the E1/4 Corner of said Section 21 bears North 43 degrees East, a distance of 984 feet more or less. By an Order of the Park County District Court entered on October 17, 1927, the point of diversion was moved approximately 789 feet upstream to a point on the South bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 SE1/4, Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., whence the E1/4 Corner of said Section 21 bears North 79 degrees 30 seconds East, a distance of 1,292 feet, more or less. In Case Nos. W-7503, W7548, 80CW080, 80CW455, 81CW143, 81CW298, and 89CW081, at total of 0.1191 of a cubic foot per second of Mack Ditch No. 2 water right was transferred out of the ditch for uses other than irrigation. Of the remaining 0.8809 of a cubic foot per second, 0.44045 of a cubic foot per second was transferred by MMRC in Case No. 2003CW238. j. Firm Yield of Nickerson Ditch Rights: The Nickerson No 2, Parmalee No. 1, and Carruthers No. 2 Ditches are referred to herein as the “Nickerson Ditch Rights.” The Decree issued in Case No. 2000CW174, dated October 11, 2002, quantified the historic consumptive use associated with the Nickerson Ditch Rights. The terms and conditions under which the Nickerson Ditch Rights are used for augmentation, replacement, exchange and storage purposes were also defined and approved in Case No. 2000CW174, as follows: i. The Nickerson Ditch Rights may be left in the stream system to offset depletions from water use by MMRC shareholders. The water may also be stored in the Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir No. 1, Maddox Reservoir and other MMRC reservoirs within the South Platte River Basin located above South Platte, Colorado; provided, however, that the details of storage in another reservoir are published in the Water Resume, or such storage is approved by the State Engineer pursuant to Paragraphs 37-80-120 and 37-92-308, 10 C.R.S. (2002). ii. The maximum rate of diversion under the Nickerson Ditch Rights is 0.8 of a cubic foot per second. Diversions are

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

APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS, APPROPRIATIVE RIGHTS OF EXCHANGE AND CONDITIONAL APPROPRIATION OF RETURN FLOWS IN ADAMS, CLEAR CREEK, JEFFERSON AND WELD COUNTIES 2. Introduction. The City of Brighton (“Brighton” or “Applicant”) operates a municipal water and sewer system that obtains a portion of its raw water supply from tributary ground water in the South Platte and Beebe Draw basins, treats the water, and supplies the water to its customers. Out-of-priority depletions resulting from the pumping of Brighton’s South Platte wells and Beebe Draw wells are augmented through Brighton’s decreed South Platte and Beebe Draw well augmentation plans (Case Nos. 2000CW202 and 2003CW320). Brighton supplements the augmentation exchange, and to appropriate return flows associated withsources Brighton’s interest in the Fulton, water utilized in these plans, as wellthe as their exchanges, with additional of water described in Case Nos.Burlington 2004CW174, and Wellington water rights.

Complete statement of plan for augmentation: Under this plan for augmentation, Broomfield will replace injurious out-of-priority depletions caused by the structures described in sections 7.2.1 through 7.2.14, above. The depletions may be caused by storage or detention of runoff and precipitation in the structures or by evaporation from the unlined ponds. The injurious out-of-priority depletions will be replaced with water from the sources described in section 13, above, at the locations described in that above section. APPROPRIATIVE RIGHTS OF SUBSTITUTION AND EXCHANGE 15. When a valid call is being administered from a water right senior to December 31, 2020, and when all or part of the augmentation or required historical return flow replacement water is provided below the location of the depletion from an Augmented Structure or below the location where the historical return flow replacement is required to be made, Broomfield will augment injurious out-of-priority depletions and/or replace required historical return flows via one or more of the following appropriative rights of substitution and exchange: 15.1 Exchange reach: 15.1.1 Downstream Terminus: Confluence of Little Dry Creek and the South Platte River, in the S ½ NE 1/4 , Section 12, Township 2 North, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M. 15.1.2 Upstream Terminus: in the NE 1/4 of Section 12, Township 2 South, Range 69 West of the 6th P.M., at the location of the most upstream point where depletions from the Augmented Structures accrue to Big Dry Creek. The Exchange Reach is depicted on Exhibit D attached hereto. Within the Exchange Reach, other exchange-from points are claimed for the delivery or release point of each structure and source described in section 13, above, and other exchange-to points are claimed for the point of depletion for each Augmented Structure and at each required return flow replacement location. Matrices of all the exchangefrom and exchange-to points claimed herein will be developed during the proceeding. 15.2 The date of appropriation of the substitutions and exchanges is December 31, 2020. The appropriations were initiated by formation of the intent to utilize the substitutions and exchanges to replace depletions caused by the structures described herein and the filing of the application in water court on December 31, 2020. 15.3 The maximum rate of the exchanges is estimated not to exceed 10 cfs.
