Donna Marshall’s smile is almost unforgettable, even as it’s hidden behind a blue mask.

Sitting curbside along with her Greenridge Place neighbors, you can see it in three places — in the black and white photograph from her high school senior year, and then in the photograph taken weeks ago while she was sitting on the sofa in her unit of the memory care facility, contemplating her high school self.

Just over half a month since Gov. Jared Polis issued a statewide maskwearing order — and two weeks since he cut down Colorado’s last call for alcohol to 10 p.m. to discourage unruly socializing — the governor credited those actions when he noted what appears to be a plateau in new coronavirus cases.

But now isn’t the time for Coloradans to let their guard down, he warned.

“Just because we are plateauing doesn’t mean we’re still not in a very precarious position,” Polis said at an Aug. 4 news conference. “It’s like a boulder sitting on top of a hill, you know: One wrong move, and it could go into a rockslide off the end.”

After the severity of COVID-19’s spread reached its highest estimated rate since late March, Coloradans appear to have turned the tide. Researchers at the Colorado School of Public Health say the state’s reproductive number reached as high as 1.78 in early July, meaning each infected person likely spread the virus to nearly two people at the time, on average.

That number is referred to as Colorado’s R0, pronounced “R naught.” If the number sits below one, the number of new cases per day is declining.

Adams County open space projects to share $4.9 million

MY NAME IS

HEATHER WATERS

Going with the flow alongside Thornton’s resource analyst

STAFF REPORT

Trickling to Thornton I grew up in Thornton. My parents still live here. [I love a] ll the beautiful open spaces and bike trails. After high school I worked for the parks department, utilities as a meter reader and in the water quality lab, before landing in water resources. [I work as the] City of Thornton Water Resources Analyst, specializing in water conservation. [I like h] elping water customers increase their water efficiency and learning about water-wise landscapes.

I became interested in municipal work when I was in a high school program that paired us with city officials to learn about their jobs.

My family and business My family and I removed about 600 sq. ft. of lawn in our backyard and planted a large perennial water-wise garden and that is where you can usually find me in my off time. I enjoy photography and yoga and Eastlake Reservoir and Margaret’s Pond. I started a photography business, Cool Waters Photography. I enjoy the fitness classes at the Trailwinds Recreation Center.

Happy at home I actually love being home.

Traveling kind of stresses me out,

Heather Waters.

A series of 19 open space projects throughout Adams County — including one in Westminster and three in Thornton — will split $4.9 million in grants from a county program.

Projects include new parks and open space access in Thornton and a water conservation preservation project at 112th and Vrain Street in Westminster.

Funding for the Fall 2020 grant cycle came from revenues from the second half of the 2019 Adams County Open Space Sales Tax, which was passed by Adams County voters in 1999. That vote created an Open Space Advisory Board that recommends open space projects to the Adams County Commissioners for funding. The grants are funded each year in the spring and the fall. Over the past 20 years, they have invested more than $212 million on more than 538 projects in parks and ope n space across Adams County.

Thornton will receive $1.6 million for three open space projects, Westminster will receive $5,000 and two Adams County projects will share about $196,000.

COVID curtails most N-Line opening day celebrations

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The first official train on RTD’s Nline commuter rail service officially is scheduled to leave Denver’s Union Station at 10 a.m. Sept. 21, making stops at new stations along the way for ribbon cuttings.

The 13-mile-long route leaves Union Station and travels northeast to the National Western Center at 48th and Brighton. There, it turns north and snakes it way through Commerce City, Northglenn and Thornton. It includes six new stations, with a total of 2,480 new parking spaces.

After stops at the National Western Complex and then 72nd Avenue in Commerce City, the train will bring RTD officials to Thornton’s 8989 Welby Road station for a brief ribbon cutting ceremony.

Northglenn officials said they expect the train to make its first official stop at the 11355 York St. Avenue station sometime after 10:30 a.m. before continuing on to Thornton’s Eastlake Station at 12500 Claude Court between 11 a.m. and noon, where RTD is hosting an end-of-the-line ceremony before it returns to Denver’s Union Station.

COVID-19 and statewide social distancing requirements dampened some of the local efforts to celebrate the service’s arrival. Northglenn had originally planned to host a $5,000 station party to celebrate. That’s been slimmed down to a short ribbon cutting reception.

RTD is offering free fares for the N-Line after the grand opening. Fares will be $3 afterwards.

Plans call for the trains to run every 20 minutes during morning and evening rushes, taking 29 minutes from Eastlake south to Union Station. Train service will run every 30 minutes during off-peak hours.

The train will run from 4 a.m. to 1 a.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 4 a.m to 2:30 a.m. on Fridays, according to the current schedule. Service will run from 5 a.m to 2:30 a.m. Saturdays and from 5 a.m. to midnight on Sundays.

Each two-car commuter rail train on the N Line will include seating for 91 passengers in each car, two ADA-compliant seating areas, luggage racks, overhead carry-on storage areas and space for skis and bikes. Passengers board at the same level as station platforms.

A southbound RTD N Line train heads through the Thornton Parkway crossing on Thursday, Aug 6. RTD has been conducting tests daily, in advance of a planned formal opening, now scheduled for Sept. 21.

Northglenn turns to wired horses to decorate N-Line

Murals, sculptures to go up in September before train’s debut

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

New artwork designed to decorate one of Metro Denver’s newest train stations will harken back to the early days of transportation.

“Horses have always been one of the original forms of transportation,” said Michael Stricker, cultural programs supervisor for the City of Northglenn and director for the Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation. “We are celebrating all of these forms of transportation throughout the ages, all of it anchored with the horse.”

RTD is scheduled to debut rail service on the N-Line Sept. 21. That’s the long-awaited the commuter rail line connecting Denver’s Union Station with the Eastlake Station in Thornton, with stops in Commerce City and Northglenn along the way.

Like Northglenn, Thornton will decorate the N-line’s terminus with public art, sculptures and murals.

The N-Line was announced in 2013 and was originally scheduled to begin service in 2018. Powered cars began moving along the route in April 2019 for testing.

“Everybody here has just been waiting so long, and we have a lot of former and current City Councilors and mayors that have been involved in transportation issues and trying to secure this and get it to move forward,” Northglenn Communications Director Di-

ana Wilson said. “We wanted to have an opportunity to invite those people for the actual opening in person. So, we’re announcing that we’re having a small reception, but it’s not like it’s going to be a big party.”

But a key feature for the Sept. 21 opening of the train line will be debut of the public art that will decorate Northglenn’s station at 11355 York St. Stricker said the city decided to place one of it’s newest pieces of art in station’s bus roundabout. That’s a life-sized sculpture of a horse built from metal wire — including barbed wire with the sharp points removed — called “Salvere“. Michigan sculptor Jeff Best’s piece was selected as the favorite by residents at last year’s Art on Parade and was added to the city’s collection.

“It’s going up as a standalone piece there,” Stricker said. “He created a companion for it, a second horse, so we are getting that horse as well. So we’ll have two horses there, draft horses connected with a yoke, installed at the bus roundabout.”

Next, the city commissioned Best to make sculptures and mural panels to decorate the station’s wall alongside the tracks. Best has designed laser-etched metal panels each depicting historic American transportation, from steam engine locomotives and horse-drawn buggies to modern trains.

More wire horses, similar to Best’s main sculpture but smaller, will be placed in between each panel.

In all, the mural should be about 180 feet long.

“We decided to run with the

Michigan sculptor Jeff Best has been working to design a series of horse sculptures that will decorate Northglenn’s new train station when it opens in September. Two life sized draft horses will be placed in the station’s bus roundabout while smaller ones, shown here, will decorate a mural Best is designing.

Wraps All of the N-line’s stations will have electrical

and communication boxes decorated with vinyl wraps, a standard set by RTD itself. In Northglenn, the city tapped Northglenn muralist Jerry Jaramillo to design the vinyl wraps.

“RTD has made it a goal to do this at each of the light rail stations, so ours has

three large electrical boxes about eight-feet-tall,” Stricker said. “It’s a different kind of medium, so we went with a local muralist. Jerry has been doing murals all up and down the Front Range for almost 30 years, but he’s never done one for us. We thought this would be a great opportunity.”

And finally, you can see it in person, sitting next to that photograph in the August 4 sun, waving to people in cars driving past.

“I’m pretty happy at most things,” Marshall said.

Marshall and her Greenridge Place neighbors, all residents of the memory care facility who have been diagnosed with some level of dementia, were the subject of a specially designed art show. Friends and family were invited to the facility, just off of 101st Avenue and Old Wadsworth in Westminster, to drive past and visit their beloved, even if just from the window of a car. Everyone waved and snapped photos and some decorated their cars.

For Marshall, it was a chance to sit alongside her neighbors, see some different faces and get some sun.

She still has family in California, she said, and some relatives living nearby.

“I’m 83, and this was when I was 18, in California,” Marshall said. “It’s nice being outside. I don’t really get out all that much.”

COVID-19 has been especially hard for Greenridge Place’s mostly senior patients and residents. Since the pandemic virus is especially dangerous for older folks, the memory care facility closed its doors to visiting family members and friends back in March.

Katie Nelson, of Brighton, said it’s been tough not being able to see her grandmother Alma Green regularly.

“My mom, before COVID, was here every week, twice a week,” Nelson said. “My sister and I would come

Cars full of family members line up for a socially-distanced visit with their relatives Aug. 4 at Westminster’s Green Ridge Village Memory Care.

In all, the family brought seven family members in two cars to visit and wave.

Keeping connected Lisa Anderson, executive director at Greenridge Place, said this is the third parade/virtual visit they’ve scheduled since COVID-19 closed her facility to visitors.

“We wanted to find a way to celebrate our seniors, and with all the craziness with the pandemic, we also wanted to try to keep them connected with their loved ones,” she said. “So, we’ve created a little art exhibit.”

The theme for the Aug. 4 event was

memories.

Anderson asked family members to provide photographs of the residents from earlier in their lives. The staff enlarged those photos and mounted them in frames and then photographed the residents looking at the photos. Residents were encouraged to sit along side their photos while their family members drove by, waved, took more pictures and talked to their loved ones through the car windows.

“We called it ‘Reflections’, with the residents looking at the picture of their past, and we listened and did some reflecting with them, talking about what they had done,” she said.

In all, 29 families brought in photos of their loved ones for the project.

For residents that didn’t send in a

photograph, Anderson had staff take a black and white photo of each residents’ folded hands sitting in their lap. Those photos were enlarged and framed, along with a caption describing what those hands had accomplished during their lives.

“We’ve included a little biographical description of their lives,” Anderson said. “We wanted to show what those hands had done. This one raised three kids. This one was a nurse. Just a little backstory on who they were, and who they are.”

It’s the third drive by celebration Greendridge Place has hosted during the COVID-19 quarantine, with family members dressing up their cars. The facility provided drinks for the residents and some umbrellas for shade from the August sun. In all, more than 80 people registered with the facility to say they were coming. Westminster police and fire trucks were included as well.

“Our families have been so supportive,” Anderson said. “This is just something fun we can do for the families and the residents, and have the police and fire here has been great.

They’ve been involved in all of our parades.”

Isabel Zimmerman of Windsor, whose mother Paulette Whitcomb lives in the facility, said she’s attended all three of the parade events, often with her own daughters.

“They had another event where we came and decorated the windows of their units and they opened up the screen about a month ago, and that was neat,” Zimmerman said.

Former Northglenn High School teacher and basketball coach Dale McCoy sat stoically alongside his photograph, sipping a cup of cold water and reminiscing quietly.

“It was a good 35 years in there,” he said.

Lower positive case rate in Jeffco even as total cases rise Rising COVID cases attributed to travel, small gatherings

DOES MORE TESTING MEAN MORE CASES?

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While case and hospitalization numbers continue to rise, Jefferson County’s top public health official says there is some good news when it comes to the county’s recent efforts to manage its recent uptick in COVID-19 cases.

“Fortunately, our positivity rate is staying below 5%,” said Jefferson County Public Health Executive Director Mark B. Johnson. “That is sort of the goal that has been set and if we can keep that rate below 5% that essentially means that while we do see cases rising, we will see them fall again.”

Johnson said the county’s optimism is buoyed by recent increases in the number of COVID-19 tests being conduct-

JCPH Executive Director Mark B. Johnson said COVID-19 testing is analogous to pregnancy testing in that the tests do not make a person pregnant but determine whether they are. Similarly, COVID-19 tests do not cause COVID-19 but rather identify cases in a specific population.

“You are finding the cases that are already there and that’s what

we want to know in public health is what is there so we can do something about controlling those that are positive,” Johnson said.

However, Johnson said that a more important number than the overall number of positive cases is the percent of positive cases the county is seeing based on its testing. The county’s goal for that number is 5%.

ed in Jeffco. The county now regularly reaching its goal of conducting at least 880 tests a day. That is a major change from July, when the county had only reached 880 tests a day a handful of times since the start of the pandemic— and none since late April.

But while the future outlook may be starting to improve, JCPH is also dealing with the immediate issue of the county’s two-week COVID-19 case average being higher than the 580-case level set by the state public health board to keep the county’s health order variances (granted in June) in

place.

“For the next two weeks we will be doing all we can with mitigation efforts to bring that number below 580 so that we do not lose our variance,” Johnson told the Jeffco commissioners on Tuesday.

Johnson said the current state order already allows some of the things granted in the June variance. However, he warned that the loss of the variance would mean some changes, specifically a reduction in the number of people who can be inside various businesses at any one time, including gyms.

DATA COULD DRIVE REVERSAL OF EXCEPTIONS

Now, the virus has a reproductive value of around 1 — possibly a little below or above, Polis said. If Colorado stays on that track, it can stay within the bounds of the state’s hospital capacity, a crucial benchmark for preventing more widespread death and dodging the need for more restrictive state limits on people’s activity.

The dip in Colorado’s rate of spread is likely due to less gathering of people in large groups and more mask-wearing, Polis said.

The shift includes a decrease in coronavirus numbers among people in their 20s and 30s, a change officials think is partially attributable to moving the cutoff time for selling alcohol in restaurants and bars to 10 p.m., Polis said.

“If your thing is nightclubs and parties, you might have to have three friends over and turn on that disco at home and dance the night away. And I’m not saying that in a frivolous way — I get that that’s a sacrifice for you,” said Polis, a baseball fan who lamented that he can’t go out to Coors Field to watch

OP

In mid-July, 15 counties were notified that the coronavirus trend has become intense enough that their “variances” — exceptions Colorado granted them from the state’s restrictions on activities and businesses — must be reconsidered, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

Arapahoe County is among them, and officials in that county have encouraged businesses to take greater precautions to reverse the trend before the state was to decide to alter or remove the variance in the first week of August.

Arapahoe saw reassuring news in its COVID-19 case data in early August, but

the county formally requested a two-week extension on the deadline, according to Luc Hatlestad, a county spokesman. The state responded by granting a one-week extension, Hatlestad said. At press time, it was unclear if the state had yet made a ruling.

Starting July 16, the state began a twoweek pause on accepting new variance applications. It was unclear from the department’s website on Aug. 6 whether that pause has extended beyond two weeks.

The department could not immediately be reached for comment.

Roughly 50 Colorado counties had been granted variances as of July 21, according to the state’s COVID-19 information website.

the Colorado Rockies.

The governor put the spotlight particularly on young Coloradans in his address, drawing a comparison — as he has before — between Americans making sacrifices during this pandemic and during World War II. “I know that what we’re asking of you isn’t easy, but it’s important to put it in perspective that it’s easier than what has been asked of Americans in their 20s and 30s at different times in our history,” said Polis, noting that when his parents were young, many

Americans served in the Vietnam War and lost their lives.

“In World War II, our nation mobilized, and 20-somethings across our entire country put on our nation’s uniform and went off to war, and too many didn’t come back. What we need to achieve here to defeat this enemy — to defeat this virus and not let it destroy our health or our spirit — is to be smart, avoid large groups and wear a mask where we can,” Polis said.

He added: “It’s absolutely critical for the success of Colorado and for the success of America, and I know that we are all on the side of America against this virus.”

not identified as “non-essential retail” also could be told to go from a 50% occupancy limit to a 10-person one.

Some of those businesses could be hit hard, Jefferson County attorney Kym Sorrells said, including smaller gyms such as local Pure Barre locations which would see their capacity limit reduced from 50% to 25%.

“I know in the process of seeking our variance some of the small business owners that I spoke with said if they have to operate with 25% capacity they will go out of business,” she said. “So for some businesses this could be a game changer and impact their ability to operate.”

In addition to implementing a new public health order requiring that masks be worn both indoors and outdoors when social distancing cannot be maintained, Johnson said JCPH will be implanting “a major public relations campaign to notify our residents about what will happen if we do lose that variance and what

‘Superspreader events’ Adhering to social distancing guidelines will allow Coloradans to live with some normalcy — attending school, jobs and events such as high-school sports — and is key to living a fulfilling life and not letting the virus “destroy our spirit,” Polis said.

The Colorado Attorney General’s Office issued a cease-and-desist letter in late July to Live Entertainment, the company behind a planned July 26 rodeo in Weld County and other events that have drawn as many as thousands.

The office proactively sent cease-anddesist orders to an organizer, Adixion Music, as well as a venue, Imperial Horse Racing Facility, to stop such events, according to a governor’s office news release.

Polis called such gatherings “dangerous superspreader events” and discour-

we can do to help.” However, Johnson also warned that JCPH has largely exhausted the tools it has available to stop the spread of the disease, without resorting to measures like imposing further restrictions on businesses.

Johnson also said that as the county reviews why cases have been rising, there are two behaviors that seem to be contributing the most to transmission. The first is travel to other states, particularly hard-hit areas like Florida and California, and an increasing willingness of people to take part in small gatherings.

“It’s not so much large gatherings as a large number of small gatherings,” said Johnson. “Parties and wedding showers and outdoor barbecues and that kind of thing where neighbors are getting together in groups that should be separated. Because of the quarantine fatigue and the beautiful weather, people are just getting together now and that’s where we are getting most of our cases.”

aged the public from buying access to gatherings that may be canceled due to public officials taking enforcement action.

“People who put themselves at risk aren’t just putting themselves at risk — they’re putting their family, their neighborhood and community at risk, and we cannot stand for that,” Polis said.

Under Colorado’s updated safer-athome order, outdoor events such as receptions, fairs, rodeos and concerts can allow up to 175 people based on the state’s Social Distancing Space Calculator — excluding staff — per designated activity with a minimum of 6 feet between individuals or non-household contacts.

Long haul Coloradans need to be prepared to live the way they have in late July and early August for several months, Polis said.

The governor acknowledged in an April press conference that social distancing restrictions will be lifted gradually in a process that could last for “two months, three months, 10 months — however long it is before there’s a cure or vaccine.”

The state was recently moving forward with its third phase of social distancing policy, the “protect our neighbors” phase, Polis has said. The first two phases were the stay-at-home and current safer-at-home orders.

Once counties meet certain criteria, submit a plan to mitigate surges and are approved by the state, they can permit activities at 50% of pre-pandemic capacity “across all sectors,” with at least 6 feet between non-household members and no more than 500 people in one setting, according to the state’s framework.

The state on July 7 released a form to allow counties to apply to qualify for that new phase of social distancing.

Counties that qualify for the “protect our neighbors” phase may choose to become exempt from the state’s maskwearing order.

While less-metropolitan areas may be able to qualify, “that is very unlikely to be the case for the Denver metro area in the near future,” Polis said at a July 16 news conference.

COVID-19 resources: Where to turn for help

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Maybe you’ve lost your family’s child care. Maybe you barely broke even this month. Maybe you’re on the verge of having to fend for yourself on the street.

Maybe you’re a business owner, fighting to keep your doors open for your workers.

Or maybe you’re an older adult, isolated and unsure of where to turn for help picking up groceries or your prescriptions.

The coronavirus pandemic has been raging through Colorado for five months, but there are still people, nonprofits, government programs and other information that can help you make it through.

Their services range from job training and job-search assistance to free, confidential support for mental health and substance-use concerns.

We’ve compiled a list of programs that can help. For all of the website links for the programs mentioned below, go online to tinyurl.com/ COVID-19-help.

Rent, mortgage assistance, eviction help A program to help Coloradans make their rent and mortgage payments launched in mid-July.

Colorado’s Property Owner Preservation program resulted from state House Bill 20-1410, a recently signed act that provides $20 million in direct rental and mortgage assistance to Coloradans experiencing financial need, including $350,000 for legal aid for renters at risk of eviction.

Landlords and property owners can apply for assistance on behalf of multiple tenants, and tenants can also apply for assistance on their own. Call 303-864-7810 for the steps to apply.

If you’re facing eviction, other resources that may help you are located on the Colorado Department of Local Affairs’ website.

Counties and municipalities may still be offering financial and other assistance as well. Contact your city, town or county government for more information.

Find other housing and low-income assistance on the website for 2-1-1 Colorado, the statewide resource system for people in need.

Food assistance Hunger Free Colorado, a statewide nonprofit, works to keep food access information up to date for communities across Colorado. Hunger Free offers a food resource hotline to help individuals and families access food, according to 2-1-1 Colorado.

Find food resources on Hunger Free’s website or call the hotline at 855-855-4626 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

For food pantries and other resources, see 2-1-1 Colorado’s site.

School district-provided meals Chalkbeat, a nonprofit news organization, maintains a list of locations where school districts provided meals during the spring school closures due to the pandemic.

Many districts offer summer meal programs as well. Contact your student’s district for information.

For older adults A Little Help, a Colorado nonprofit, serves older adults. The organization equipped background-checked, prescreened volunteers to grocery shop, pick up prescriptions and run other essential errands for older adults, according to one of Colorado’s COVID-19

resource webpages.

Regular “care calls” to older adults for social connection, health and safety checks, snow shoveling, and yard chores are also among the nonprofit’s services — while practicing social distancing to minimize risk, according to the webpage.

A Little Help has operations from metro Denver to northern Colorado and in the Roaring Fork Valley, according to the page. Visit the nonprofit’s website or call 720-242-9032 in metro Denver, 970404-1923 in the Roaring Fork Valley or 970-412-9396 in northern Colorado.

Child care The Colorado Child Care Assistance Program helps families that are homeless, working, searching for work or in school to find low-income child care assistance.

Each county’s human services department help manage the program, according to the Colorado Office of Early Childhood. Each county sets eligibility requirements but must help families that have income of 185% or less of the federal poverty guideline.

You can learn about applying for assistance on the Colorado Office of Early Childhood’s website.

See other information for children and families on the Colorado Department of Human Services’ website.

Paying utilities Comcast is offering new, low-income customers two months of free internet, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, Xcel Energy will not disconnect service to any residential customers until further notice, according to its website.

Individuals having difficulty paying bills are encouraged to contact Xcel’s customer service center to arrange a payment plan that works for them.

In response to the pandemic, an organization called Energy Outreach Colorado has increased the number of times individuals can access assistance to help pay utility bills, according to 2-1-1 Colorado.

See Energy Outreach Colorado’s website or call 1-866-432-8435.

Health insurance Coloradans who experience “a life-changing event” — such as losing job-based coverage, moving, getting married or having a baby — are eligible for a special enrollment period. That’s a 60-day window to buy or change health care plans, according to Connect for Health Colorado, the state’s official health insurance marketplace.

See more information on Connect for Health Colorado’s website.

If you qualify for Medicaid, you can enroll any time of year, whether you qualify for a special enrollment period or not.

Sole proprietors, businesses and nonprofits with fewer than 25 full-time employees can apply for up to a $15,000 grant and a $20,000 loan for a possible combined total of $35,000 in assistance.

The application was to launch in early August, according to Energize Colorado’s website.

Adams County, housing authority offer rent and mortgage help New rules allow landlords to apply for help STAFF REPORT

Maiker Housing Partners and Adams County will offer grants to help Adams County pay their housing costs and avoid evictions.

The grants use funding from the CARES Act contributed by the county and municipalities in Adams County. The new funding also

Director of Maiker Housing Partners. “With Federal, State and local moratoriums in constant flux, we are committed to doing everything in our power to ensure those experiencing financial hardships as a result of COVID-19 are not in danger of losing their housing during this unprecedented time.”

Assistance will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis to qualified applicants. Adams County residents may be eligible to receive rental or mortgage assistance if they have experienced financial hardship

Applications will be accepted for both residents and landlords through www. maikerhp.org the Maiker Housing Partners website.

“Everyone deserves a home, even when financial hardship makes paying rent or mortgages difficult,” said Peter LiFari, Executive

as a result of COVID-19 and have income below 120% area median income, roughly $98,000.

“This additional CARES Act funding will allow us to help our hardest hit residents during a time when so many people need the limited resources available,” County Commissioner Eva Henry.

“Allowing landlords to apply on behalf of tenants is a creative solution to help both our families and our business owners.”

Maiker has processed over $350,000 in mortgage and rental assistance for

residents, all starting with a $300,000 grant from the Adams County Foundation as part of the Adams County emergency response and recovery efforts since March.

“The negative impact this crisis has had on our communities, and especially our most vulnerable residents, is significant and continues to grow,” said County Manager Raymond H. Gonzales.

It is our hope this additional funding will help alleviate some of the hardships our residents are experiencing through the end of this very difficult year.”

Treasurer extends interest free late payments STAFF REPORT

Adams County will continue to waive interest charges on delinquent property tax payments through the end of August, according to the County Treasurer’s office.

Governor Jared Polis signed a bill into law in June that allowed local jurisdictions to waive interest for late payments. Adams County initially set that extension through the end of July, but Adams County Treasurer Lisa Culpepper announced on Aug. 3 that she had decided to waive interest through August 31.

No further waivers of interest are

anticipated, so paying on or before August 31, 2020, is required.

In June, the Adams County Board of County Commissioners made clear their support of county taxpayers by their vote on the record in the Public Meeting held in late June. This further evidenced their approval of waiving interest, at the Treasurer’s discretion, in their written Resolution the following week.

Culpepper said that her approval of waiving interest is limited law and by county economic factors; interest will again be due and owing for any taxpayer whom has not paid, in full, their real property or busi-

ness personal property tax on or before August 31. This is a window of opportunity being provided to the taxpayers of Adams County to pay their taxes interest-free in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Culpepper’s office is encouraging the Adams County taxpayers to submit payment as soon as possible, and to not wait until August 31. The collection of property taxes is vital to the funding of daily operations of the county; for funding Fire protection and response; and, to continue the operations of water/sanitation services in Adams County.

The policy is open to anyone but

does not extend to accounts where the taxes are paid through a taxpayer’s escrow account or by a title company as part of a real estate closing.

Payment and interest information is available on the Treasurer’s tax history and payment website at www. adcotax.com (fastest source of information); by emailing the Treasurer’s Office at treasurer@adcogov.org (fast); or, as a last resort, by calling the Treasurer’s Office at 720.523.6160 (due to COVID-19 remote working, it may be a business day or two before a return call is made, so be sure to answer if you see a 720.523.6160 call).

VOICES

Strategic speaking: Is Westminster still the ‘next urban center’?

CROSS CURRENTS

Bill Christopher

L

ike most of us, I’m always looking for a silver lining in any situation that tends to be negative or lacks much hope or improvement.

Well, a silver lining came out of the recent Westminster City Council strategic planning and budgeting weekend session. (However, you will not find it mentioned on any of the city’s communications tools — like their web site).

Thanks in part to some public emphasis and recited factual data from the 2020 Citizens’ Survey results, the council decided to drop the “next Urban Center in Colorado”

project from the Westminster’s revised Strategic Plan.

In their action of acknowledging the voters’ dislike for the high density/intensity type of development at the former Westminster Mall site, some of them must have been looking ahead to the November city election.

Don’t break out the champagne just yet I was delighted to learn of this decision by City Council. It shows that if enough concerned citizens let their opinions be known — along with sufficient factual information— it can sometimes even sway Westmin-

ster elected officials. (Remember the trash hauling issue?)

You might read my previous columns recapping the survey results and the public’s clear message on idea of being Colorado’s “Next Urban Center” — high density apartments, increased traffic congestion without funds to rectify the problem, lack of Open Space tax dollars being spent on land acquisitions and more.

However, there is still more to the story and we shouldn’t break out the champagne SEE CHRISTOPHER, P11

anet,” one of my readers, can no longer read. That means she can no longer handwrite letters like the ones she has been sending to me for the past three or four years.

Hers were the only personal letters I have QUIET this century.

DESPERATION received She prefers the intimacy of stationery, stamps and envelopes.

Not only that, she doesn’t own a computer.

She lives alone in Franktown and doesn’t get around much anymore because of her age, the Craig Marshall coronavirus, and now Smith this.

Janet left a long, poignant phone message, and implored me not to think of the ramifications of being almost sightless.

Of course, that’s an impossibility.

I first heard about Helen Keller when I was in grade school. Later Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, who was first called “Little” Stevie Wonder.

In seventh grade, my music teacher told us Beethoven was totally deaf by the age of 44 or 45, but continued to compose music.

There have been a number of individuals limited in one way or another who have accomplished extraordinary things. In particular, I am still amazed

by Keller. She was the first deaf-blind person to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree.

In the final months of my father’s life, he was unable to eat, drink, walk or talk. My sister and I had Power of Medical, but he took it away from us and insisted on a stomach port and a feeding tube.

They didn’t work.

His will to live was something to behold. It was unbearable to behold.

Janet is still able to hear. A friend is reading my columns to her. This also means she can listen to music.

Nietzsche said, “Without music, life would be a mistake.”

There are recorded books but Janet may not be interested. Her call left the impression that her loss of sight had affected her enthusiasm for living.

As a writer, the inability for me to write would be unacceptable.

Then, I hear about how Stephen Hawking communicated, eventually by using a single cheek muscle.

Sure, Janet could dictate. It wouldn’t be the same, but it would be better than nothing? Or would it?

It would be almost impossible, given the way I think, somewhat haphazardly, to dictate a column to someone who, inevitably and understandably, would want to strangle me.

Janet’s letters were in-depth and welcome critical reviews of my columns. She always noted my references, my wording, my humor (or attempts).

We’ve all witnessed the consequences of a long life — Janet is Level Eight — with ourselves, family members, or friends. And, of course, pets.

After a recent column about Harry and his life expectancy, I heard from readers who understood. Right now, safe-at-home, without Harry, life with or without music would be a mistake.

One of my doctors told me to disregard “old age” and think in terms of “Levels.” If you’re 30, you’re Level Three. Forty, Level Four.

The mirror knows better, doesn’t it?

My high school English teacher is Level Eight. She’s falling apart, she says. I told her Olivia de Havilland reached Level Ten. My high school English teacher said, “No, no, no.”

(Keller was closing in on Level Nine when she died.)

Oh, Janet. I’m sorry. In your message you encouraged me to continue what I have been doing. I will and a thought of you will be in every column.

just yet.

When they were asked about what would be the next steps, it seemed unclear what city leaders think the next step might be to enforce dropping the New Downtown concept of multi-story apartment buildings and high-rise office buildings. Or perhaps the game plan at City Hall is simply to placate the public with dropping the “Next Urban Center” in name but plowing ahead with more development at the subject site. Give it some thought!

Yet another chapter to the story You can count on the duo of City Manager Don Tripp and Mayor Herb Atchison pushing hard to keep going forward with additional apartment complexes and office buildings for their remaining time with the city.

The “New Downtown” plan is their baby. It’s their pride and joy. It’s their envisioned legacy. They birthed it and they believe it is the way to go in spite of the public’s opinion and the amount of precious water resources it is taking.

So, at best, I see another 4-3 vote whenever any action item would come before the council on more dense development projects with Atchison, Seitz, Skulley and Voelz being in support at the former Westminster Mall site.

However, there is yet another chapter to this story. Seitz will definitely run for mayor in 2021 since Atchison will be term limited, but she will have at least one strong opponent. Plus, all three incumbent council members whose terms are up (DeMott, Skulley and Voelz) will seek re-election or election in the case of Voelz.

For DeMott, it is easy as he has pushed to change the “New Downtown” plan previously. However, for tSkulley and Voelz, it could be quite problematic. Do they stay in Tripp’s and Atchison’s “corner” supporting more dense development or are they leery of what the voters might do per the Survey results?

Interested citizens might want to ask Seitz, Skulley and Voelz where they stand.

Both Democrats and Republicans fail to respond to Americans’ basic needs Regarding the foot-dragging by Congress on another Coronavirus relief package, I’ve cited Nero fiddling while Rome burned before. Unfortunately, it isn’t a set of buildings at risk here. It is American people who found themselves unemployed overnight due to the Coronavirus without a safety net.

While Pelosi/Schumer versus McConnell/White House continue to posture and complain about the other side’s position, Americans are getting evicted from their homes and have little money to live on.

- I think House Democrats are demanding too much with their $3 trillion package as well as sticking with the $600 per week unemployment relief. Let’s remember the national

debt is already out of control.

On the other hand, the Senate Republicans are short-sighted with their $200 per week unemployment proposal which is too little.

The Democrats should drop the funding they want for schools and local government and both sides should focus, focus, focus on what Americans need most now. Plus, renters and homeowners need more time on paying their housing bills.

Finally, ignore President Trump’s idea of payroll tax deduction waivers.

Time is critical and Congress is planning on going on a month’s vacation.

Good Lord folks, can’t they come down from their lofty pedestals and relate to the needs of average Joe/ Jane citizens?

Is there a hiring freeze or not during Westminster’s financial crisis?

Last week, I mentioned that Chief Financial Officer/Deputy City Manager Larry Dorr told City Council the city is experiencing a “financial crisis”. However, not a single employee has been furloughed. City management apprised city council that they had supposedly imposed a “hiring freeze” to save funds.

However, if you check the job opportunities on the city’s web site under “Employment” this past week, you will find a couple of full-time benefited positions which contradict what city council was told. First, the city is recruiting for a Communications and Marketing Officer.

The position pays $103,730-$129,663.

Also, a Digital Media Specialist position is open for applications. This position pays $58,162-$72,702. Both positions are in the City Manager’s Office. Neither are public safety positions.

Why are these unfilled positions exempt from the hiring freeze? Is there really a hiring freeze or not?

Where is the credibility at City Hall these days? Plus, are these additional marketing and public relations positions really germane to the city’s core services?

A date to remember: august 14, 1945 August 14, 1945 is a date which I hope will long be remembered after the last World War II hero has passed.

It is the date when Japan accepted unconditional surrender and people celebrated worldwide.

President Truman observed, “This is the day when fascism finally dies, as we always knew it would.” Nazi Germany had surrendered earlier on May 8. The official surrender by Japan was signed in Tokyo Bay on board the U.S.S. Missouri on September 2, 1945 and is known as V-J Day. Let us give thanks for all the American and Allied forces who fought and many who made the supreme sacrifice so that we here today might enjoy our freedoms.

I can share what would happen as I echo the most famous quote by Zig Ziglar, “You can have everything in life that you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”

What if every day we tried harder to hear with an ear of understanding, listening for opportunities to help? Not just listening long enough to jump in and talk about ourselves or our needs, but truly listening to the needs of others. Here is what

Joel Osteen says, “Encouragement to others is something everyone can give. Somebody needs what you have to give. It may not be your money; it may be your time. It may be your listening ear. It may be your arms to encourage. It may your smile to uplift. Who knows?”

What if our field of vison and line of sight was broader, actively seeking people to serve rather than looking for others to serve us? One of my favorite books, “The Pilgrim’s Progress,” a book that has been translated in 200 languages and has never been out of print, was written by John Bunyan. And he said it this way, “You have not lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.”

It is easy to search the internet for positive quotes that can inspire and motivate us to help others. And I love seeing the creativity of how people turn awesome quotes into amazing messages. The question is how long do those last? Do they last only long enough for us to post something on social media and hope someone sees it, likes it, comments on it, and maybe shares it? For some of us, the answer could be yes, and if it is, it just might be time to change the SEE NORTON, P14

Woman summiting 14ers to help ShelterBox

A

University of Denver graduate student has found a way to combine her love of the outdoors with her passion for helping others.

Brittney Woodrum, 27, is an ambassador for ShelterBox USA — an international disaster relief organization that “focuses on providing shelter to those who have lost it” through natural disaster or conflict, Woodrum said. A ShelterBox is a container of essential items to sustain displaced people.

To bring awareness and raise money for the organization’s COVID-19 emergency relief fund, Woodrum SEE CLIMBER, P13

hen exercising, location makes a big difference when it comes to how enjoyable the experience can be. Denver Arts & Venues knows this extremely well, as the department organizes the annual Yoga on the Rocks series at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Now they’re bringing exercise to another iconic COMING location with its ATTRACTIONS new Sculpture Park Fitness Series.

Series “As an agency, we try to activate all our venues.

We wanted to host something at the arts complex because it’s so accessible and Clarke Reader has all these cool spaces,” said Brian Kitts, Arts & Venues spokesman. “We started kicking around what we might do, and we thought fitness would be an easy one to do and access for people.”

Running from Aug. 4 to Sept.29, Denver Arts & Venues is partnering with 10 local fitness studios and cultural arts organizations to host a variety of 60-minute classes, including dance, cardio, boot camp, high-intensity interval training, meditation and sound healing, barre, yoga and more at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ Sculpture Park, located at Champa Street between 13th Street and Speer Boulevard.

The partner organizations include Barre3, BLOCK21, Bodies

by Perseverance, Cleo Parker Robinson Dance, CM Dance, Edgar L. Page: Feel the Movement, Endorphin, Hot Mamas, Luna Vibrations and Palango! Fitness.

“When we do exercise events at other locations it’s usually yoga or boot camps, and while this series has elements of that, the partnerships with these groups allows us to present something new,” Kitts said. “Many of these are groups we work with regularly, but not in this capacity. People are used to seeing them on stage, but here they get to participate with them.”

Classes will be every Tuesday and Thursday, with multiple sessions per day. And to maintain safety, staff will have marked 10-foot circles, six feet apart, throughout the park to provide attendees with ample space to safely exercise together. According to provided information, City and State mandates are being followed regarding audience size and all participants are being asked to adhere to physical distancing guidelines, use of face coverings, SEE READER, P13

sanitary functions and other safety protocols.

“One of our goals is to give people a chance to gather, and if they have to do so in smaller groups, it’s worth it to try,” Kitts said. “During this time, we’ve had to put the tried and true things to the side and figure out how to put on a show with the new set of rules. We hope people come out and give it a shot, because it really is a fun way to be outside and be with people.”

has embarked on her Climbing for a Cause: the Fourteeners Project — she will be climbing all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot mountains.

And she’s climbing them with a 60-liter teal ShelterBox on her back.

“ShelterBox ambassadors tend to do crazy challenges with the box,” Woodrum said, adding the box accompanies them on the physical challenges for awareness purposes.

“Physical challenges are nothing new to me (and) I’m always looking for opportunities to combine my passions.”

Woodrum is a triathlete and in the past has participated in physical challenges for various fundraising/ awareness events. She became an ambassador for ShelterBox after learning about the organization as she was researching humanitarian groups that she could get involved with as she pursued her master’s degree.

Originally from Kentucky, Woodrum earned her undergraduate degree in nonprofit administration and Spanish from the University of Kentucky. She lived abroad for about five years — most of the time was spent in southeast Asia — and moved to Denver about a year ago to earn a graduate degree in humanitarian assistance from DU. Colorado was particularly attractive to her because of the state’s abundance of outdoor recreation, she said, pointing out that she had heard of Colorado’s iconic fourteeners.

ShelterBox is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in both 2018 and 2019. It got its start as a project by a Rotary Club in England.

What ShelterBox does is provide people who have been displaced because of natural disaster or conflict with the essential items needed to set up a household, said Kerri Murray, president of ShelterBox USA. These items include a tent, in addition to other basic needs such as water filtration, solar-powered lights, warm blankets, cooking equipment and even a children’s activity set, Murray said.

“They’re little things,” Woodrum said, “but they play a big role in keeping vulnerable communities safe.”

ShelterBox has responded to at least 300 disasters around the globe,

tecture Foundation has released two new free audio tour journeys that provide listeners with information on 24 historically-significant locations, as well as the city’s architecture and history.

Paid for in part by the History Colorado State Historical Fund, “Downtown Denver: A Game of City and Empire Builders” and “Civic Center Park: A Speerian Play,” not only delve into the past, but contextualizes the present and looks to the future. Tours can be taken on location or remotely Stops on the tours include Civic Center Park, The Denver Mint, the Clyfford Still Museum, the Scottish Masonic Center, the Oxford Hotel, Sugar Building and more.

For more information, visit www. denverarchitecture.org.

Murray said, including the 2015 earthquake in Nepal and the earthquake in Haiti in 2010. Since 2012, ShelterBox has provided emergency shelter to about 250,000 displaced Syrian refugees.

“The need for ShelterBox has grown because of COVID-19,” Murray added. “And it has also had to adapt because the needs are different for this (public health) disaster.”

One adaption is including water basins and soap in the box, Murray said.

Woodrum had originally planned on doing her Fourteeners Project after she had graduated from DU. But then the coronavirus hit and began to spread worldwide.

“Disasters haven’t stopped just because COVID is happening,” Woodrum said. “It was challenging to be stuck at home and not able to help. I felt this was the time to do this project. It’s something I can do without putting others at risk” of spreading the virus.

Woodrum is camping on public lands about 97% of the time, and the other 3% will be at a private residence -- no hotel/motel stays are part of the excursion, Woodrum said. She also spent May and June dehydrating food to minimize trips into towns, she added.

The ShelterBox she is hiking with is mostly empty, with the exception of water, snacks and extra layers of clothing, Woodrum said. It weighs about 10 pounds, Woodrum said, adding everybody always wants to know how much it weighs.

Woodrum’s goal is to fundraise $1,400 per peak, for a total of about $80,000, all of which will go to ShelterBox’s COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund. A special peak sponsorship is available for people or a group of people who donate the entire $1,400.

Calling such a supporter a mountain hero, Woodrum will climb the mountain with an item or keepsake that the donor provides and take a photograph of herself at the top with the item. And/or they can choose to get a name mention by Woodrum in a video at the summit.

She began on July 10. Woodrum expects to finish the challenge with Pikes Peak near the end of September.

Woodrum “wants to make a difference in the world,” Murray said. And “what’s so touching is that ambassadors work to help people who they’ll probably never meet in their lifetime.”

like Pete Yorn, Weezer and Jimmy Eat World. The group remains capable of solid and enjoyable albums while maintaining a charming sense of humor.

Guster’s nearly 30 years of existence are beautifully on display on their new release, “OMAGAH! Guster With The Omaha Symphony.” Recorded on Feb. 8, 2019, at the Holland Performing Arts Center in Omaha, Nebraska, the album features 11 tracks from the performance. It features some of the group’s best-known tracks, like “Fa Fa” and “Satellite,” and with the strings it’s the perfect soundtrack for late-summer afternoons and evenings on the porch, patio or peristyle (Google it).

Opera on the asphalt in Englewood Renowned soloist performs in parking lot as ‘gift for the community’

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Siuzanna Iglidan of Englewood was supposed to perform at the Los Angeles Philharmonic this summer, in her dream role in Bizet’s “Carmen.”

But COVID-19 threw a wrench in those plans.

With opera performances canceled for the foreseeable future, the Ukrainian-born mezzo-soprano soloist treated her neighbors to a world-class performance in a church parking lot on Aug. 1.

Accompanied at times by her friend Tanya Palamarchuk, Iglidan’s dulcet voice lilted from the parking lot of the Seventh-Day Adventist church at Lincoln Street and Radcliff Avenue, drawing neighbors from their homes to hear a performance seldom heard by those not in a tuxedo or ball gown.

“This is my gift to the community,” Iglidan said. “Music can bring people together and touch their hearts, and I think we all need that difficult times

station from WIIFM to WIIFY. Let me share a very real and recent example of someone who lives with a servant’s heart, someone who exemplifies the “What’s in it for you” attitude. I had reached out to one of the pastors in my life, Ryan Canaday, who lives in the Denver area. I shared with Ryan that I had a friend in New York who was struggling with a family situation and I believed that he was the right person to speak with my friend.

Without hesitation, he asked me if he could have 15 minutes and then he would jump on the call. You might say, well he is a pastor, that’s his job. But that is not how or why he responded the way he did, he did it because he has a heart for people. He and his wife, Tami, also run a ministry, called FREE. FREE provides a supportive community for people struggling with addiction and going through recovery.

Iglidan, who was supposed to sing in the Los Angeles Philharmonic this summer, performed a wide range of classic selections in the hour-long performance.

like these.”

Iglidan covered a wide range in the hour-long revue, with selections like “Amazing Grace,” a piece by Schubert and another from “Samson and Delilah.”

“How often do you get to hear music like this in Englewood?” said Leslie Appiah, who came to see Iglidan perform with her husband and two children. “Normally this would cost hundreds. I love exposing my kids to culture. It’s a blessing.”

Ryan and Tami are totally tuned into station WIIFY. And a huge shout-out here for all of our first responders, health-care workers, EMTs, police officers, firefighters, military, and all the selfless people in our communities who are doing everything they can to protect us, keep us healthy, and working so hard to help and serve in so many awesome ways, thank you.

How about you? Are your conversations, actions, and attitudes “me” focused? Are you listening for opportunities to help others? Are your eyes searching for people and situations where you can be of service? I would love to hear all of your “WIIFY” stories at mnorton@tramazing.com. And when we live each day taking the focus off ourselves and change the station to “What’s in it for you,” it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

Description of conditional water rights: The conditional water rights at issue here are two conditional appropriative rights of exchange confirmed and adjudicated in Case No. 88CW269, Water Division No. 1. A finding of reasonable diligence was entered by the Water Court, Water Division No. 1, on August 25, 1997 in Case No. 96CW172, on May 25, 2007 in Case No. 03CW342 and on July 30, 2014 in Case No. 13CW3044. The subject exchanges are closely related to certain change of use and exchanges decreed in Case No. 88CW268, Water Division No. 1, (the “Cosmic Decree”), and together make up a component of the City of Westminster’s (“Westminster”) integrated water system on Clear Creek. I. Ralston Creek Exchange. A. Date of Original Decree: Case No. 88CW269, Water Court, Division 1, State of Colorado, decreed on July 20, 1990. B. Legal Description: The location of the exchange structures, as set forth in the decree in Case No. 88CW269, are as follows: (1) Jim Baker Reservoir (formerly known as the Happe Ponds): Located in the S1/2 of the NW1/4 of Section 7 and the N1/2 of the SE1/4 of Section 7, Township 3 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. In addition, Westminster provides the following coordinates to further identify the approximate location of the Jim Baker Reservoir outlet works utilizing the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid system projection based on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), Zone 13 North: (496995 E, 4406098 N).

In addition, Westminster provides the following coordinates to further identify the relevant location utilizing the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid system projection based on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), Zone 13 North: (494178 E, 4405876 N). C. Source: Clear Creek and Ralston Creek. Pursuant to the Decree in Case No. 88CW269, and subsequent findings of reasonable diligence in Case No. 96CW172 and Case No. 03CW342, Clear Creek water available for storage in Jim Baker Reservoir (f.k.a. the Happe Ponds) pursuant to the Decree in Case No. 88CW268 that ordinarily would be diverted at the Kershaw Ditch headgate on Clear Creek, will be left in Clear Creek and an equal amount of water will be diverted by exchange at the headgate of the Manhart Ditch on Ralston Creek for storage in Jim Baker Reservoir. This exchange allows the use of gravity to fill Jim Baker Reservoir via the Manhart Ditch, rather than pumping to fill Jim Baker Reservoir via the Kershaw Ditch. D. Appropriation Date: June 10, 1988. E. Amount: 768 acre-feet maximum per year (less transit loss), at a daily average rate of flow of 25 c.f.s., subject to the maximum rate of flow for all alternate points of storage in paragraph 12.5 of the decree in Case No. 88CW268. II. West Gravel Lakes to Manhart Ditch Exchange. A. Date of Original Decree: Case No. 88CW269, Water Division No. 1, decreed on July 20, 1990. B. Legal Description: The location of the exchange structures, as set forth in the decree in Case No. 88CW269, are as follows: (1) The West Gravel Lakes: Located just West of the South Platte River approximately 1/2 mile East of the intersection of East 80th Avenue and North York Street in Sections 25 and 36, Township 2 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. In addition, Westminster provides the following coordinates to further identify the approximate location of the West Gravel Lakes outlet works utilizing the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid system projection based on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), Zone 13 North: (505031 E, 4411328 N). (2) The Manhart Ditch: A point of diversion located on the North bank of Ralston Creek in the SW1/4 of Section 12, Township 3 South, Range 69 West of the 6th P.M., Jefferson County, Colorado.

(50 c.f.s. to the South Platte River and 49.5 c.f.s. to Lower Clear Creek Ditch). 4.

Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application to a beneficial use. A. By decree entered in Case No. 13CW3044 on July 30, 2014, 293.63 acre feet of the Ralston Creek Exchange conditionally decreed in Case No. 88CW269 was deemed absolute. The Court entered findings of reasonable diligence as to the remaining 474.37 acre feet of the Ralston Creek Exchange and 945 acre feet of the West Gravel Lakes Exchange. During the current diligence period Westminster operated the Ralston Creek Exchange and diverted water by exchange at the Manhart Ditch headgate. This diverted water constituted “Cosmic” water under the decree in Case No. 88CW268 (“Cosmic Water”) and was delivered into storage in Jim Baker Reservoir (f.k.a. Happe Ponds) via the Manhart Ditch pursuant to the Ralston Creek Exchange. Although Westminster operated the exchange and diverted and applied water to beneficial use, the volume of water diverted in any one season during the current diligence period did not exceed the amount previously made absolute in Case No. 13CW3044.

As a result, Westminster only seeks findings of diligence in this application. B. During prior diligence periods, Westminster constructed Jim Baker Reservoir (f.k.a. Happe Ponds). Construction included completion of dredging of the lake,

NTS WW Legals 8.13.20 * 3

Public Notices lining of the reservoir, and construction of appurtenant facilities, including inlet and outlet works, spillway and wetlands. The Reservoir was completed and dedicated in the spring of 1996. The total construction cost during the prior diligence period was approximately $3,500,000. During the current diligence period, Westminster has operated and maintained the Reservoir. Activities include, but are not limited to, monitoring lake levels, operating, maintaining and repairing inlet and outlet works, accounting and record keeping activities, wetlands monitoring and general reservoir maintenance activities. Operation and maintenance of the reservoir is an integral component of both conditional exchanges. Operation and maintenance expenses have been incurred during the diligence period, including, but not limited to City staff time, expenses and outside consultant expenses. During the diligence period, Westminster has also paid funds in the form of ditch assessments to both the Manhart Ditch Company and the Kershaw Ditch Company. Said funds have been used, in part, to maintain the ditches necessary for operation of the conditional exchanges.

During the diligence period Westminster has also made repairs and improvements to the Manhart Ditch flume and measurement devices. Costs were incurred during the diligence period. C. During prior diligence periods, the City of Thornton completed the construction of the West Gravel Lakes.

Westminster is the owner of a storage account at the West Gravel Lakes, that is used, in part, for storage of water pursuant to the decree in Case No. 88CW268. Although during the current diligence period no Cosmic Water stored in the West Gravel Lakes pursuant to the decree in Case No. 88CW268 was exchanged to Jim Baker Reservoir pursuant to the conditional West Gravel Lakes to Manhart Ditch Exchange decreed in Case No. 88CW269, Cosmic Water was stored in Westminster’s West Gravel Lakes storage account and exchanged further up Clear Creek for storage in Standley Lake pursuant to other decreed exchanges or otherwise beneficially used. Westminster has incurred expenses during the diligence period associated with its storage account at the West Gravel Lakes, including but not limited to expenses associated with the operation and maintenance of its storage account and the Lower Clear Creek/Colorado Agricultural ditches as well as pumping costs associated with the operation of the storage account. D. During the diligence period, Westminster has participated in various Division No. 1 Water Court cases in an effort, in part, to protect and maintain exchange potential on Clear Creek and Ralston Creek.

Related expenses were incurred during the diligence period. E. During the diligence period, Westminster has continued the development of its Clear Creek Water Supply System. Activities have included, among other things: acquisition of additional interests in water on Clear Creek and its tributaries and the South Platte River; prosecuting Water Court applications to incorporate said interests into the City’s Water Supply System; exercising conditional exchanges and making portions absolute or obtaining diligence decrees on the remaining conditional portions; completing the first phase of delivery of an additional storage vessel; ongoing operation of an aeration system related to Jim Baker Reservoir; and, participation in numerous Water Court cases for purposes of protecting, maintaining and developing Westminster’s Water Supply System. Expenses associated with these activities were incurred during the diligence period. 5. Water applied to beneficial use: N.A. Although Westminster operated the Ralston Creek Exchange during the diligence period, it was not operated in amounts greater than the absolute portions of said exchange. 6. Name(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: N.A. The structures involved in the conditional exchange are all existing, not new, diversion structures. There was, and is, no need to modify said diversion structures in order to accomplish the conditional exchanges. On information and belief, there are no current plans to modify the existing diversion structures at this time. As a result, additional notice requirements by certified or register mail, as set forth in § 37-92-302(2)(b), C.R.S., do not apply in this instance. WHEREFORE, Westminster requests the Court to enter its decree and ruling as follows: A. To enter a finding of reasonable diligence with respect to the entirety of the remaining conditional portion of the Ralston Creek Exchange and providing that a subsequent showing of diligence for the remaining conditional water right be made six years from the date of entry of a decree of diligence. B. To enter a finding of reasonable diligence with respect to the entire 945 acre feet of the West Gravel Lakes to Manhart Ditch Exchange originally decreed conditional in Case No. 88CW269 and providing that a subsequent showing of diligence for the remaining conditional water right be made six years from the date of entry of a decree of diligence. C. To enter a finding confirming that the retained jurisdiction period set forth in Case No. 88CW269 has expired by its own terms.

AMENDED APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL SURFACE WATER RIGHTS AND WATER STORAGE RIGHTS, AND FOR PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION AND EXCHANGE IN ADAMS, BOULDER AND WELD COUNTIES. Purposes of Application.

The purposes of this Application are threefold.

First, to claim new appropriations for surface points of diversion and J.B. Smith Reservoir, decreed in Case No. 13CW3181, to supply water for oil and gas operations, beyond that approved in the 13CW3181 decree, under two contracts: the December 1, 2017 Water Purchase and Carriage Agreement (the “2017 Anadarko Agreement”), and the December 31, 2018 Water Supply Agreement (the “WSA”), as they may be extended or modified, as well as to supplement the municipal uses to which the 13CW3181 rights were previously decreed. These new appropriations include the right to redivert water released from storage at fourteen “WSP” points of diversion to supply oil and gas operations. Several of those points of diversion are above the points where released water will be discharged to the South Platte River. The second purpose of this Application is to seek approval of a plan for augmentation and exchange to allow water to be diverted out of priority at these upstream points and replaced by releases from storage from J.B. Smith Reservoir, Signal Reservoir Nos. 1 and 2, and Mann Lakes Reservoir pursuant to storage rights decreed in Case Nos. 13CW3181 and 16CW3019 and pending in Case No. 19CW3061). Third, the Application seek a decree for a fourth fill of Mann Lakes to be used for all beneficial uses, including satisfying the subject oil and gas contracts.

During the diligence period, Brighton exercised its augmentation plan, substitutions and exchanges to divert water in varying amounts and applied it to beneficial use for the decreed purposes.

The conditional appropriative rights of exchange that are the subject of this case are part of Applicant’s raw water supply system, an integrated system as defined by §37-92-301(4). During the diligence period Applicant has expended funds on engineering design and construction of its integrated water system on the South Platte River and Beebe Draw related to the structures necessary to implement the operation of the conditional appropriative rights of Applicant’s underground water rights and exchanges. During the diligence period Applicant has participated in numerous water court proceedings in an effort to protect its conditional appropriative rights of exchange. Additionally, Applicant has developed and utilized accounting forms in order to implement the conditional appropriative rights of exchange. 3.7 Right to Supplement. Applicant reserves the right to supplement this Application with additional information on Applicant’s work and expenses related to its continued diligence toward making absolute the conditional rights described herein. 3.8 Notice Requirement, Section 37-92-302(2)(b).

High-school sports schedule upended by COVID-19 ‘Everything is not ideal,’ says CHSAA’s commissioner

2020-21 CHSAA SPORTS CALENDAR The schedule divides up Colorado high school sports into four seasons. Given are the sport, the start date and the tentatives date or dates of state championship games, if determined. Dates are as of Aug. 4.

SEASON A • Boys’ Golf: 8/3, 10/5-6 • Boys’ Tennis: 8/10, 9/25-26 • Softball: 8/10, 10/10 • Cross Country: 8/12, 10/17

BY LINDSEY SMITH THE GAZETTE

The state’s 2020 fall highschool sports season was slashed from 11 sports to four following an Aug. 4 announcement by the Colorado High School Activities Association after a lengthy compromise and approval from state health officials.

The association announced its 2020-21 calendar after a call with Gov. Jared Polis, a release said, during which CHSAA “received a final response on the plan it submitted to the state’s COVID response team.”

Boys’ tennis, boys’ golf, softball and cross country have been approved to compete in a modified fall season, with competition beginning as early as Aug. 6 through Oct. 17.

The remaining fall sports -- football, boys’ soccer, girls’ volleyball, field hockey, gymnastics and unified bowling -- will be played in a new “Season C” beginning about March 1.

Football was granted special permission to begin practice Feb. 22 due to minimum practice requirements before the first contest on March 4.

“Everything is not ideal.

Any time you go outside of the ‘norm’ it’s not ideal,” CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green said during a Zoom press confer-

SEASON B • Basketball: 1/4, 3/6 • Ice Hockey: 1/4, TBD • Skiing: 1/4, 2/26 • Competitive Spirit:, 1/4, TBD • Sideline Spirit: 1/4, N/A • Girls’ Swimming: 1/4, TBD • Wrestling: 1/4, 3/6 SEASON C • Field Hockey: 3/1, TBD • Football: 2/22 (practice), 5/8 • Gymnastics: 3/1, TBD • Boys’ Soccer: 3/1, TBD

Westminster’s Guillermo Macias is leveled by Adams City’s Miguel Hernandez late in the first quarter of Westminster’s homecoming game in 2019. Due to COVID-19, high school football won’t be played this fall but will be delayed until early in 2021.

ence June 4. “But at the end of the day, we are in a pandemic and we are in charge of creating opportunities for our kids within the state guidelines and the educational guidelines.”

A moratorium on high school participation will be in place following the fall “Season A” from Oct. 18 through Jan. 3, 2021, as a precaution as “data from the state shows a likely resurgence of COVID-19 cases in late fall,” according to a release.

Winter sports, or “Season B” -- including basketball, ice hockey, spirit, girls’ swim-

ming and wrestling (boys’ and girls’) -- may begin practice Jan. 4, and will compete through March 6, including playoffs and state championships.

Spring sports will compete in “Season D” beginning practices April 26 and will go into late June, though state championship dates for many sports have not been set.

Season D will be the largest seven-week season with nine sports competing: baseball, boys’ and girls’ lacrosse, girls’ tennis, boys’ swimming, girls’ golf, girls’ soccer, track and field, and boys’ volleyball.

• Unified Bowling: 3/1, TBD • Girls’ Volleyball: 3/1, 5/1 SEASON D • Baseball: 4/26, 6/26 • Girls’ Golf: 4/26, TBD • Boys’ Lacrosse: 4/26, TBD • Girls’ Lacrosse: 4/26, 6/23 • Girls’ Soccer: 4/26, TBD • Boys’ Swimming: 4/26, TBD • Girls’ Tennis: 4/26, 6/11-12 • Track & Field: 4/26, TBD • Boys’ Volleyball: 4/26, 6/19 Source: The Gazette

Blanford-Green said CHSAA’s original plan submitted to state officials advocated to keep the sports seasons intact, and requested increased capacity at games and in roster guidelines, but when confirmed positive cases began to surge in Colorado the association went back to the drawing board to submit contingency plans.

“I’m very grateful that we were able to collaborate with different state agencies and able to advocate and get some of the things we wanted that probably weren’t going to happen,” Blanford-Green said,

adding the CHSAA fought to include cross country as an approved fall sport.

“Right now we are feeling very good about our ability to not have disruptions, not have cancellations and to try to give every kid in the state of Colorado the opportunity to participate in a sport and in a season.”

Tax hike to fight climate change goes to voters The Denver increase could generate $36 million in its first year

BY ALAYNA ALVAREZ COLORADO POLITICS

Voters in Denver will be asked on the ballot this November if their sales taxes should be raised to fund efforts to reduce the city’s climate footprint.

If approved, the city beginning in January would impose a 0.25% sales tax, whose funding would be dedicated to renewable energy efforts, including “steep reductions” in fossil fuel consumption and “significant improvements” in air and water quality, the bill states.

Half of the revenue will be dedicated directly to underserved communities with a “strong lens toward equity, race and social justice.”

The Denver City Council referred the measure to the ballot on Aug. 3 in an 11-1 vote, with Councilman Chris Hinds absent.

Councilman Kevin Flynn, who represents District 2 in southwest Denver, voted against the measure on grounds that the city “settled on the default, the easy way out, which is sales tax, which is regressive.” Asking voters to give the city money in the wake of a pandemic and economic downturn, he said, is not the “appropriate way” to raise this revenue.

“I feel that we’re asking too much from our voters right now,” Flynn reasoned, highlighting the fact that the city will also ask voters to raise sales

taxes to fund homelessness services, which Flynn plans to support.

He said he would rather see Resilient Denver’s ballot initiative move forward, which would have established a tax on electricity and natural gas. Resilient Denver advocates say they will now pull their ballot initiative with the referral of this new tax.

Alexis Morris agreed with Flynn.

She was one of 11 residents who weighed in during the public hearing on the bill, and the only one who spoke in opposition.

“The environment is a really important issue to me in my heart, … but I cannot support a regressive tax like this that unjustly puts the burden on lower-class Americans,” she said, arguing that the tax should be shifted to the biggest polluters.

Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca, who represents the Elyria-Swansea neighborhood in District 9, agreed with Flynn and Morris, but maintained voters should have a choice.

“I think our voters are smart, and I think our voters are frustrated about how we’ve used tax dollars,” she said.

“And when they see tax increases on the ballot, I don’t think we’ve given them a reason to pass any of them … or proof of our ability to manage their money wisely in the first place.”

The increase is estimated to generate about $36 million in its first year, accounting for the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, according to the city’s 26-member Climate Action Task Force, which led the initiative.

The committee is made up of representatives from the Sierra Club, Denver Metro Association of Realtors, Xcel Energy, the International Indig-

A Denver march in support of the Global Climate Strike on Sept. 20, 2019.

enous Youth Council, Denver Streets Partnership and others.

Funds would be used for clean energy jobs, investments in solar power, neighborhood-based environmental and climate justice programs, adaptation and resiliency programs that help vulnerable communities prepare for climate change, clean transportation programs, and more.

The tax, albeit just a step in many more to potentially come, would help the city meet its environmental goals of achieving a 40% decrease in Denver’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2025, a 60% drop by 2030 and a 100% decrease by 2040.

By implementing “bold policies,” the task force maintains, Denver can be positioned as “a model for the nation” that centers its environmental policy “design, programs, and investments in front-line communities and inspire(s) people in our city to embrace sustainability as a value.”

The environmental committee estimates the city will need up to $3.4 billion to fully realize those plans, and the sales tax increase would be but a step of possibly many more to come, including implementing a vehicle efficiency fee, raising parking meters and parking permit fees. The investment cost of a few billion dollars pales in comparison, they say, to the roughly $20 billion they estimate could be incurred from inaction.

“This to me is the right way to go,” said Councilman Paul Kashmann, who represents District 6 in southeast Denver. “It’s an essential step in preparing Denver to remain a viable city in the future and doing our part to solve this problem. We can’t solve the world’s problem. But this is an opportunity for us to lead.”
