Accelerate Colorado hosts program on post-election federal policies

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

Accelerate Colorado (AC), founded in 2004, is a “partnership between business and governments in Colorado that works with the U.S. Congress and key federal leadership on issues critical to the state’s economic development, top industries, and business community.” For 14 years, AC has led a 100-person business mission to Washington, D.C. every year to meet with congressional representatives and other leaders to advocate for Colorado’s economic development and business interests. Due to the health pandemic, this year’s business mission, comprised of four diverse speakers on expectations about policies as a new presidential administration comes in, was held virtually on December 15.

The Villager “attended.”

Kevin Doran, AC’s executive director, told listeners that the organization’s current focus is on policies in the areas of aerospace and defense, energy, healthcare and bioscience, small business and economic development, transportation (land and air), and water and natural resources.

Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting is the first commander of the newly re-designated Space Operations Command, which is responsible for organizing, training, and equipping fielded space forces who will execute space warfighting operations. The U.S. Space Force (USSF) was formed by President Trump one year ago and is temporarily housed at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado.

Whiting told Doran that Space Systems Command and Space

Training and Readiness Command are planned for the future.

Although USSF personnel are only 322, the economic impact of the operation, Whiting explained, is $3.3 billion/year across Colorado with about 32,000 personnel including U.S. Air Force personnel and contractors. Doran asked about the future of USSF. Whiting said that he didn’t expect significant changes since, “Space Force was passed by Congress,” adding that he “expects private industry to go to the moon before the U.S. government,” and that, “We have to be prepared to defend our missions.”

“What other countries are you focused on?” Doran wanted to know. Whiting’s response was, “General Raymond, my boss (Chief of Space Operations, USSF), said that Russia was performing weapons testing near one of our security satellites, so we are watching that, because it is inappropriate behavior and inconsistent with what they say in the United Nations.” He continued, “The odds of them randomly conducting that test so close to us are so small they are laughable.”

In distinguishing how USSF differs from the U.S. Air Force, Whiting said they will be “bringing in a cadre of intelligence professionals who will focus on other countries’ space programs, along with bringing in cyber experts. These things didn’t happen in the traditional Air Force.”

Daniel Lippman, a reporter for Politico who covers the White

House and Washington, D.C. said that he expects earmarks to come back in the new Congress.

He also expects to see a continuation of the effort to repeal Section 230, passed in 1996, that provides immunity to social media websites from liability for content posted on it by others.

According to Lippman, “(President-elect) Biden is not a fan of Mark Zuckerberg and doesn’t use social media much, but he sees it for the downside, the misinformation and fake news that is spread there,” adding, “Republicans think Facebook is biased against them; Democrats think it spreads lies.”

Lippman thinks there could be agreements on infrastructure and climate change in the new administration, including “boosting renewable energy,” but that none of these issues “will have bandwidth until the pandemic is addressed.” He does not expect that money for state and local governments or liability protection for corporations will be considered until 2021. (According to reports out of Washington, D.C., as of this writing, the current stimulus plan includes neither).

Asked about the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Lippman explained, “Biden wants to lower the Medicare age to 60 and add a public option, negotiate drug prices, and increase health care subsidies. Republicans don’t want to add a public option.”

Lippman said that Health and Human Services Secretary-des-

ignate Xavier Becerra is a strong supporter of the ACA and predicted that Becerra “will roll back many of the rules that Trump put in place.” He also predicted that we are “not likely to see a new health care plan when they can pass smaller bills that are less controversial.”

About earmarks, a longtime tool of the Congress that was eliminated in February 2011, Lippman explained, “Lots of experts think earmarks made Congress work better and more efficiently. Today, representatives don’t socialize or form relationships with opponents. Bringing back earmarks is a good way to make it easier to get things done. It’s up to local media to identify shady earmarks. More transparency is in everyone’s interest and representatives will like it because their constituents will see them ‘bringing home the bacon.’ ” On the subject of spending, Lippman said, “Many people feel that $700-800 billion on defense is too much and we need more focus on cybersecurity. So far, both parties haven’t addressed the national debt and it hasn’t had terrible consequences for the economy. The (economic) problem now is the lack of consumer demand.” Asked about incoming appointees, Lippman said that many had hoped that Michele Flournoy would be selected as secretary of defense because she is so well-qualified. (Retired General Boyd Austin has been nominated for the position). He also talked about Susan Rice, who has been named chief of the White House Domestic Policy Council, saying, “The good news for Susan Rice is that she won’t need senate confirmation.

It would have been hard to get it because Republicans still think she mislead on Benghazi (A 2012 attack on United States government facilities in Benghazi, Libya led to the death of four Americans and others). It’s good for her to get domestic policy experience since she has had several foreign policy jobs. I’m hearing that she wants to run for president. Her family members are innovators in education. Her son is a Trump supporter who went to Stanford.

She is super-smart and can range widely on domestic policy including health care. He also said that, for Treasury, “Janet Yellen is a super-smart economist who got bipartisan praise when she was picked,” and that, “Wall Street was reassured.”

On the question of whether the political parties will move closer on the environment, Lippman said, “The Democrats have moved further left in the past few years but Biden is a centrist who is not interested in settling scores. “ Doran brought up China. The reporter said, “China is seen by both parties as the top national security threat to American influence in the next 50 years. In Africa, China is giving tens of billions of dollars to build infrastructure projects. They are also doing it in South America.”

Trent Bauserman is a senior

policy advisor to Democratic Majority Leader U.S. Rep. Steny Hoyer on energy policy, including transportation and infrastructure. On the incoming Congress, he quoted his boss as saying, “We’re going to have to find consensus with our minority.

That means we can do good legislation in many of the areas we all care about.” On infrastructure, he said that everyone wanted it addressed, adding, “Biden’s build back better program has an emphasis on infrastructure.

Republicans want it too. It’s the right thing to do and will serve as an economic stimulus.”

On the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) championed by outgoing Colorado Republican U.S. Senator Cory Gardner, Bauserman said, “GAOA is a legacy act. Making those dollars mandatory and permanent is something many members of the Colorado delegation have been fighting for, for a long time.”

He also addressed the idea of the return of earmarks, saying, “Hoyer believes in congressionally directed spending because individual members know the most about what their districts need. Taking it away leaves it up to the administration...Hoyer believes it’s an important reassertion of congressional powers…

It will require transparency and other reforms including a promise that Members of Congress, as well as their families, do not derive any financial benefit.” As an example of the use of earmarks, Bauserman said, “There is a real benefit to the public in terms of direct spending for transit systems, health care, water infrastructure, and education. It gets more buy-in from legislators as opposed to large sums that aren’t directed anywhere in particular.”

On the subject of bipartisanship, Bauserman said that Hoyer “talks a lot about the power of consensus when the two sides work together,” adding, “Most Democrats and Republicans care about a government that works for the people and benefits people’s lives. Most Representatives are there to improve peoples lives.”

Judy Schneider is an adjunct scholar at the Brookings Institute.

She has authored over 100 papers on congressional organization and frequently briefs members of congress and the administration on the inner-workings of the government. She, too, said that she expects earmarks to return in the next Congress. She also talked about executive orders, saying that they normally stay in effect until the policy contained in them is changed by a court, legislation, or a new executive order. On the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, she said, “The United States Supreme Court took care of that.”

State gives local restaurants a way to reopen for indoor dining

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

A

fter receiving complaints from dozens of local elected and public health officials, as well as numerous private business owners, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) has provided a way for restaurants to re-open for indoor dining, despite being located in a county that is on Level Red on the state dial. Under regular rules, at Level Red, indoor dining is prohibited.

On December 16, CDPHE released the parameters for the “5 Star” certified business variance program. Businesses that meet the long list of requirements contained in it are allowed to operate at the levels prescribed one color down on the state dial. Arapahoe, Denver, and Douglas Counties are all at Level Red, so that would be Level Orange, which allows restaurants to offer indoor dining at 25% of their capacity, up to 50 people at a time. It also allows unlimited outdoor

Free Christmas tree recycling and mulch Don’t throw away your Christmas tree; give it another life by recycling it! The City of Centennial, Arapahoe Park and Recreation District and South Suburban Parks and Recreation District are providing residents with an opportunity to appropriately and safely disposeof Christmas trees. Starting Saturday, December 26 through Friday, January 15, 2021 you can dispose of clean, non-ornamented, non-decorated Christmas trees seven days a week from sunrise to sunset at the two Centennial locations listed below. Artificial trees will not be recycled.

It is anticipated free mulch will be available for private use, on a first come first serve basis, at Lookout Park starting Monday, December 28 and every other day after that, excluding holidays, weekends and snow events.

dining as long as there is six feet between parties. At Level Orange, last call is at 10:00 p.m. At Level Red, besides no indoor dining being permitted, groups can only dine outside with their own household, and last call is at 8:00 p.m. Additionally, gyms at Level Orange are allowed to have 25 people per room indoors and use 25% of their capacity, compared to 10% capacity and 10 people per room indoors at Level Red. The 5 Star State Certification Program requires counties to have declining numbers in their incidence of COVID-19 cases, positivity rate, and hospitalizations (Arapahoe, Douglas and Denver Counties currently meet that qualification) . They must also implement “safety measures beyond what is already required by public health orders and guidelines.” To implement the program, a county must set up an administrative committee for the purpose of doing so. The committee has to include the

local public health agency and “should include other partners like the local chamber of commerce, nonprofits, local elected leaders, and industry association members,” along with a representative from the community at-large. Counties must fund the committee without using public health dollars. The committee has to make a plan to verify compliance of participating businesses with all requirements using “a live third-party inspector” trained in the inspection procedures “developed and approved by the committee.”

Once a committee has been created and a plan to accomplish those things has been formulated, the committee must complete a variance application for any business that wants permission to operate under the 5 Star program exception and submit it to CDPHE. The application must include a letter of support from “the local public health agency, local hospitals, county commissioners or other local

elected body, and local tribes (if applicable). Once any businesses approved for the 5 Star program are operating, the administrative committee must report weekly to their local public health agency and CDPHE “the new certifications granted, the businesses that receive warnings, and the businesses whose certifications are revoked.”

The 5 Star program was first instituted in Mesa County and is still in use there. Questions have been raised about the lack of scientific data supporting the rules and standards it contains.

There is an ongoing push-pull between public health experts around the country who have cited in-person dining as a significant COVID-19 risk factor and local government officials who are trying to achieve economic stability in their states and cities. This has been going on since the pandemic took hold in the spring.

In an article published by Colorado Public Radio on De-

cember 4, Dr. Thomas Tsai, a surgeon and health policy research in the Department of Health Policy and Management at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, who “was part of a group of researchers who found that banning dining was the single most effective way to drive down mobility in the community,” said, “This partial opening with the five stars is just treading water going against the riptide, and just being pulled further away from suppressing the pandemic.”

Despite ongoing efforts at contact tracing, it is not always possible to determine where a person who contracts COVID-19 became infected, hence it cannot be proven that the 5 Star program makes indoor dining less dangerous. Conversely, it cannot be proven that it doesn’t. What is true is that business owners cannot survive economically without serving customers. And so it goes.

The Villager

A Christmas story about giving, the real meaning of Christmas spirit It was many years ago on a remote ranch in N.W. Colorado that this little story begins. I was around six yeas old and we lived in a very rural area in a small wooden frame house heated only by one kitchen stove that was fired by wood and coal.

Everyone on a ranch or farm has daily chores to perform. All of the livestock must be fed in the early morning every day.

My chore was to make sure that the wood box was full and the coal bucket had coal from the nearby coal house in the ranch yard. We had an icehouse with blocks of ice cut from the nearby Yampa river. Our barn kept the 1945 white Plymouth car, tack for the horses and the team that pulled the wagon to feed the livestock. We did not have any running water in the house and drank water from the nearby river gathered with a bucket. The outhouse was across the yard, having no indoor plumbing.

We used lamps for evening light.

It was late in the afternoon of Christmas eve when my mother asked me to bring in some more wood and coal for the stove.

She related that she was going to make some cakes, cookies and

candy.

I rushed to the woodpile and gathered an armload of kindling and then to the coal house to fill the coal bucket.

I had visions of fudge and cookies running thru my young brain.

As darkness descended, my father came to the house from his evening chores that included milking our jersey milk cow. This wonderful cow provided us abundant milk and cream, kept cool by a block of ice in the wooden icebox, now a valued treasure in antique stores.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of chocolate, cookies, fudge and cakes cooling on the table. I could hardly contain my mirth and joy and the upcoming feast of these homemade delacies. Sugar had been rationed during World War ll and sweets were scarce around our house.

But, instead of offering me any of the treats my mother wrapped up the sweets and put them in sacks and into a cardboard box with some other packages. Meantime my father had pulled the car to the front door and I knew we were going somewhere. I was furious, how could they not share these treats with me. This was just an

outrageous act and I was full of disappointment as we donned our coats and hit the frozen dirt road.

We traveled four miles past Juniper Springs where there was a remote country store and post office and headed up a mountainous sagebrush ravine. My mother was a teacher and taught school at the Saddle Mountain school in the nearby area. Well named because she rode horseback to the school.

It was pitch black when we turned off the narrow dirt road and went down into a gulch and back up into a yard with a small cabin and lamplight glowing out of the cabin window.

“What is this all about?” I wondered. Several dogs came barking at the car as we gather the sacks and approached the cabin door. From the dark entry way, I heard a man say, “Hello June, what brings you here tonight?” That was my mother’s name. As I entered the cabin, there were six children of varying ages sitting around the kitchen table. I looked on the table and there was one tin pan of cornbread, the Christmas evening meal.

Out of the box came cookies, my beloved fudge, candies,

and presents, the children were thrilled and laughing. I suddenly went from being an angry little boy to being so proud of my mother. How did she know that these children had nothing for Christmas? But of course, she knew everything about this family as their schoolteacher.

Their joy meant everything to me, and I laughed all the way back home. I was so proud of my parents.

I never got a bite of fudge, but I received a message of sweetness from my mother and father that I have never forgotten from many years ago.

Occasionally I will read about one of these family members in the local Craig newspaper as they have grown up and have families of their own. I saw an obituary on one of the girls recently.

It was on this Christmas eve that I learned the real meaning of Christmas and that the real joy is in giving and not receiving.

I’ve written this story many times and we publish it yearly at Christmas. I hope that it leaves a lasting memory in the minds of those who really wish to capture the true meaning of the Christmas spirit.

As a youngster growing up on a remote cattle ranch in far Northwest Colorado the December weather was bitter cold and the snow was deep.

Christmas was always very special thanks to my school-teacher mother. The presents always arrived under the tree Christmas morning.

Mail was delivered once a week when snowstorms didn’t close the dirt road.

Santa always brought the gifts with his sled and reindeer, so weather wasn’t a challenge to him. I believed in Santa Claus until my older brother set me straight one Christmas eve as I was awaiting his arrival as related in the following poem.

Santa Claus is still alive and well in our hearts and minds. This classic poem was penned by Clement Clarke Moore way back in 1822. It was first published in the Troy New York Sentinel on December 23, 1823.

Moore was born in Manhattan, New York July 15, 1779 into a wealthy family.

He graduated first in his class at Columbia in 1798.

He had a successful career as an author and passed away on July 10, 1863, a few months short of his 84th birthday. He is buried at Washington Heights in New

York City. He gave us this long-lasting historic Christmas gift:

A visit from St. Nicholas or the night before Christmas

By Clement Clarke Moore “Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visons of sugarplums danced in their heads; And mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, Gave the luster of midday to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively and quick

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name; “Now Dasher! now Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

“Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they met with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof, The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes, how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!

His cheeks were like ros-

es, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to this work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle, But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.”

OPINION

Continued COVID-19 threat Despite the encouraging news that two promising COVID vaccines are arriving at medical facilities across the nation, the threat of increasing deaths from this insidious pandemic virus will continue at alarming rates for many more months. National health experts predict, because of the tremendous production and logistic challenges, inoculation the US population, it will take until next summer before at least 75% eligible populations will receive the necessary shots.

This week the nation experienced highest infections and death rates since the onset of the pandemic. Over 320,000 people have died from the COVID virus at a stunning rate of 3,000 people per day.

We all must continue to follow the US Center for Disease Control and State and Tri-County Health Departments to continue to wear masks, avoid crowds,

adhere to social distancing rules, and wash hands regularly.

The greatest threat to continue rising pandemic infections and death rates is complacency.

Protect yourself and other by wearing a mask and get your shots when available.

In Arapahoe County, the virus has killed over 500 individuals and our medical facilities are approaching capacity, treating severe coronavirus patients.

The pandemic places this nation’s economy at-risk of approaching a serious recession or depression. In Colorado, the hardest segments of the economy, is public facing businesses like restaurants.

To address these challenges, the Governor and the Colorado Department of Health and environment has established a program that will allow restaurants to reopen to indoor dining at a 25% capacity if it can be shown they

meet certain conditions.

Arapahoe County is currently working with the Colorado Department of Health and Environment to authorize implementation of the new Five Star Program.

If granted, businesses can apply to receive variances to reopen their dining rooms to reduced capacity operations.

Arapahoe County has also been given federal Cares funding to assist small businesses to cover business losses due to the COVID crisis. Contact the county at www.arapahoe gov.com/cares for information on the program.

While the encouraging news about the COVID vaccines break through, it will take months before they will be available to the public.

It is up to everyone to take personal responsibility to protect yourself and family from getting the virus.

Please wear a mask, stay away from large crowds, and wash your hands regularly.

Your life and the lives of you family and others depend on these steps

Will there be a Colorado ski season?

Colorado is known for skiing, with world famous ski resorts and a long snowy ski season attracting skiers from all over the world. With COVID however, life is dramatically different, including skiing. How will Colorado be affected?

Last year’s ski season abruptly ended in midMarch as COVID was becoming a household word.

Eagle County was an early hot spot for the virus. We happened to be in Vail for a few days when the unthinkable happened, all the Colorado mountains closed.

Skiing that Saturday, I asked several Vail employees if Vail could ever close. Distancing was already in effect with instructions to not share a chairlift with those not in your household, meaning I rode solo, even on the large 6-person lifts. The employees were adamant that Vail would never close.

So much for predictions.

By late afternoon, Governor Polis issued an executive order closing all Colorado

ski resorts due to rising COVID cases numbers in the mountains. We thought this might be a few weeks closure leaving April open for spring skiing.

We met a family who had just arrived from England, only to find Vail

BY BRIAN C. closed, ruining JOONDEPH their long-awaited vacation. By the next day, Vail was a ghost town. Little did they know this was the new normal.

Alas there was no spring skiing. The intrepid ones who skied the back country were chased away by police if they were not residents of the county where they were skiing.

Restaurants and businesses no longer had customers.

Flashing forward to this season, winter is here with the usual snow in the mountains, despite prognostications from global warming doomsayers that we are facing the end of snow. Many new rules are in place, making skiing as challenging as so many other aspects of life today.

Merry Christmas to All! Douglas County Republican Women hear words of inspiration from local pastor With what’s going on in the world, it’s sometimes difficult to be grateful and give thanks.

Fitting for this holiday season Douglas County Republican Women (DCRW) called on a friend of the group – Castle Rock Pastor Theron Walker for insight and inspiration via its virtual meeting.

Theron Walker grew up in Hamburg, NY, suburban Buffalo. He studied theology as an undergraduate at Oral Roberts University majoring in Old Testament and minoring in modern Hebrew.

GV resident asks city council to consider different view of COVID-19

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

At the regular meeting of the Greenwood Village City Council on December 7, Greenwood Village resident and retired 5th-grade Greenwood Elementary School teacher Deb Schmidt appeared to speak to council members about coronavirus. She said, “During this COVID-19 pandemic, the Greenwood Village council, you have a responsibility to give our community hope and keep them informed, not just relying on the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), coloradocovid. org, WHO (World Health Organization) and NIHS (National Institutes of Health).” She continued, “In 1976, I did research for CU, research data collecting.

It was during that time that I realized that research is paid by some group that can easily influence the research outcomes. So, of course, it will fund only studies that only support their platform. And with this COVID-19 pandemic, the same thing has happened.”

Schmidt went on, “In the beginning, the COVID-19 information did not make sense and the censorship by YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, media, and search engines alarmed me. Therefore, I decide to spend hours and hours researching COVID-19. I started spending time researching…(GV audio not clear)..around the world. To understand the COVID-19 virus you need to ratiocinate through all the COVID experts, not just one side.”

She added, “I have read over 42 research studies on masks and on the ineffectiveness of masks. The latest study came out in November from Maine showing that wearing masks increased COVID.” On the subject of hydroxychloroquine, she said, “I have four close friends who are married to doctors. What did they do? They put them on hydroxychloroquine.”

Ms. Schmidt presented the three city council members who were present at the meeting (Donna Johnston, Tom Dougherty, and Dave Kerber) and Mayor Lantz with a bound 70-page report containing seven tabbed sections including, “Facts on how deadly COVID-19 actually is,” “Truths on masks non-effectiveness,” “Truth on Hydroxychloroquine,” and “Recommendations for shift in public policy.” She also left extra copies for the five council members who were participating in the meeting remotely by audio (GV doesn’t video-record any of its meetings. Remote members cannot see the council chambers from their location. On that evening, the regular audio system failed and the back-up audio system recorded the meeting with significant background noise, making it difficult to understand what was said on the recording).

The only city council member who offered any comment after the speaker’s presentation was Dave Bullock, who said, “I appreciate Deb coming before the council to speak. On most if not all of what she gave Council, that I have

read, since she was nice enough to send it to me electronically, there’s a lot of quite credible information from very credible sources….

I would highly recommend the things that she has provided us to read.”

The research in Ms. Schmidt’s report includes a statement from Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, professor of medicine at Stanford University, reprinted by Hillsdale College in October, that says, in part, “In the U.S. and in most of the world, hospitals were never at risk of being overwhelmed. Yet the lockdowns were kept in place, and this is turning out to have deadly effects…The U.N. has estimated that 130 million additional people will starve this year as a result of the economic damage resulting from the lockdowns.”

On the use of masks, an article from finalcalltofreedom.com dated July 16, in Schmidt’s research, concludes, “Masks should not be used by the general public, either by adults or children, and their limitations as prophylaxis against pathogens should also be considered in medical settings.”

Also included are 13 pages of a 17-page opinion submission from the River Cities Reader (rcreader. com) by Denis G. Rancourt, PhD, which makes the point, several times, “Masks and respirators (N-95 masks) don’t work.” He concludes, “Individuals should know that there is no known benefit arising from wearing a mask in a viral respiratory illness epidemic, and that scientific studies have shown that any benefit must be residually small, compared to other and determinative factors.”

On the following page, it says, in what appears to be an editors’ note, “Denis G. Rancourt is a researcher at the Ontario Civil Liberties Association and is formerly a tenured professor at the University of Ottawa, Canada. This paper was originally published at Rancourt’s account on ResearchGate. net. As of June 5, 2020, this paper was removed from his profile by its administrators.” It then quotes Rancourt as responding to the removal with, “This is censorship of my scientific work like I have never experienced before.”

The final section of Ms. Schmidt’s research says that daily exercise and healthy diet should be encouraged to proactively protect against COVID-19 because, she says, “people who are elderly, or who have underlying conditions, or are overweight, are dying the most from this disease.”

The Villager asked Ms. Schmidt how she thinks the Greenwood Village City Council could act unilaterally, practically speaking, on this issue, given its position as part of Arapahoe County, which is itself governed in health matters by Tri-County Health Department (TCHD). She suggested that the council might want to consider withdrawing from TCHD, as has Douglas County, and set its own health policies for the residents of Greenwood Village.

OPEN TO SERVE Business Chat – Tax Time Machine (Part 1)

Dr. Pomeranz, Dr. Argüello, Dr. Hong, Dr. Neugeboren, Dr. Marcuschamer

We have invested and implemented the following to keep you and our employees safe • 7000 sq. ft. facility provides

ample room for social distancing

• Each examination room is completely enclosed • PPE standards exceeding CDC and state regulations • Daily pre-screening of all patients and employees • Daily disinfecting with a fogger machine

Our last episode touched on the Covid Employee Retention Tax Credit, introduced in 2020, which can be highly beneficial for certain business situations impacted by the pandemic up to $5K tax credit per retained employee. For this episode, we will start by using the analogy of a time machine – how many of us can visualize travelling back in time and change something of value, as depicted in the classic H.G. Wells “Time Machine” novel Steve Estle and movies? In fact, here is a wonderful quote from H.G.: “The past is the beginning of the beginning and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.”

So what about you, do you ever have worrysome thoughts and find yourself feeling regretful wishing you could change the past? Sadly, for the most part, changing the past in general is impossible… But maybe not…

Pretty much most of us have heard the saying two things are inevitable in life: death & taxes. Well certainly death is, but are taxes inevitable? Most think so, but what if that’s not an absolute – especially in the business world? Case in point: there are a myriad of legal and ethical ways to change (amend) your past business and personal tax returns and in doing so recover historical tax receipts already

paid. So let’s delve into one of these “Time Machine” like tax recovery strategies that can potentially save you thousands in taxes.

But before we do: quick reminder as noted in last episode – our job as business consultants are to educate and offer specialized tax incentive services and programs for business owners and real estate professionals, but we are not traditional “tax advisors (CPA, EA, etc.)”. To be clear, our overarching strategy is to partner and work side by side with your existing tax professionals and add additional value since our focus is on the “specialized tax incentive” landscape.

Ok, so back to our winning strategy… Are you are a business owner or real estate professional / investor? If so, do you own or have constructed investment or business property – either commercial and/or multi-family property (apartment, quadplex, etc.).

Location does not matter – it can be anywhere in the country. Are you aware of the timeframe most (there are always some exceptions) tax and accountants depreciate properties over? Did you know for commercial, it’s 39 years; multi-family 27.5 years; with typically your depreciation applied in a straight line method meaning the value of your property asset is

reduced gradually with each full accounting year allocated the exact same depreciation amount (1/39 or 1/27.5), year after year…?

Ok – enough boring accounting and why does any of this matter to you and why should we care? Well, the truth is via an accelerated depreciation methodology called cost segregation (https:// gmgsavings.com/services/ cost-segregation/), you have the opportunity to amend your depreciation schedule and reclassify elements of the property into considerably shorter depreciable timeframes (typically 5, 7 and 15 years) thereby substantially increasing writeoffs. In addition, cost segregation per Cares Act legislation passed earlier this year, now allows you offset and recover prior year taxes up to a max of five years back via what are known as lookbacks (i.e. time machine).

So, there you have it, in taxes, time travel truly is possible – in this situation the IRS isn’t so grinchy…

So if you are unsure if you qualify to recapture past taxes for your business, please reach out for a no obligation consultation or checkout this website: https://bit.ly/BizCash flowImprove.

Next time, we’ll discuss a second time travel tax recovery strategy.

Here’s wishing each of my readers out there a merry, bright, and joyous holidays and Christmas - from me to you, your family, and friends.

Frontline Swedish Medical Center workers receive first doses of vaccine It’s was a monumental day for the healthcare heroes at Swedish Medical Center, where we began administering the first COVID-19 vaccinations to our highest-risk staff and providers. We know this challenge is not over, but today, we stood ready to lead the fight to end the pandemic.

Here’s to the healthcare heroes all over the world – thank you for your dedication, your compassion, and your courage as you do whatever it takes to care for our communities.

First line healthcare heroes at Swedish began receiving their initial COVID-19 vaccinations last week.

Swedish Medical Center is located in the south metro Denver area where it has been a proud member of the community for more than 110 years. An acute care hospital with 408 licensed beds, annually Swedish cares for more than 200,000 patients with a team of approximately 2,000 dedicated employees, 300 volunteers and 1,400 physicians.

With stroke door to treatment times averaging just 20 minutes, Swedish serves as the Rocky Mountain Region’s referral center for the most advanced stroke treatment,

and was the state’s first Joint Commission certified Comprehensive Stroke Center. Swedish also serves as the region’s neurotrauma and orthopedic trauma provider and is a level I trauma facility with a dedicated burn and reconstructive center. Over 150 facilities regularly transfer highly complex cases to Swedish.

Swedish Medical Center is proud to be a part of the HealthONE system of hospitals that earned the ranking as the #7 corporate philanthropist in the metro area and was the only hospital system ranked in the top 10. HealthONE contributed more than $1.5 million in 2018 and supports over 150 organizations through cash and in-kind donations.

Snow will always fall in Colorado mountains, but will the ski industry survive?

HCA Healthcare/HealthONE’s Swedish Medical Center Announces 2020 Q3 Colleagues of the Quarter HCA Healthcare/Health ONE’s Swedish Medical Center is proud to announce the 2020 third quarter ICARE Employees of the Quarter.

The award is part of the Swedish Excellence Awards recognition program to recognize employees who uphold the hospital standards and values every day. Employees are nominated by their peers at Swedish Medical Center, a 408 bed acute care hospital located in Englewood, Colorado.

Swedish Medical Center employees, Katey Dempsey, Simon Tran, Steven Kudrna, Alisia Jones, and Wendy Murphy, have all been recognized as winners of this prestigious

award. The ICARE winners were celebrated with smaller celebrations throughout the hospital to ensure the team was following proper COVID-19 precautions.

“Each of these individuals have been recognized for exemplifying our ICARE standards and living them each day,” said Ryan Tobin, president and CEO of Swedish Medical Center. “They set the tone and expectation for those around them and help to ensure that our patients remain at the core of what we do each day.”

The Swedish Excellence Awards recognition program is designed to recognize employees at Swedish Medical

Center who exemplify the hospital values while continuing to go above and beyond.

Reservations are required, limiting the number of skiers on the mountain on any given day. Face coverings are required at all times. For many skiers, this is the norm, wearing a neck gaiter for warmth.

Only one or two riders per chairlift, sitting at opposite ends of the chair. Getting lunch on the hill requires a reservation.

Indoor dining is currently closed. In summer this isn’t an issue, but in winter, eating dinner outside when it’s typically below freezing is no fun. All businesses are struggling or closed as their usual customers are nowhere to be seen.

Pitkin County, home of Aspen, requires a negative COVID test within 72 hours of travel or a 14-day quarantine before one can ski. That will all but eliminate out of town visitors. Planning a trip to Aspen, particularly from out of state or country, requires planning and effort.

Receiving a test result that close to travel time is challenging as results often take 5 to 7

Creek Pitcher Alexandra Gruitch earns a full-ride to the University of Maine

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

When we last saw Alexandra (Alex) Gruitch (Villager Newspaper, Volume 36, Number 28, May 31, 2018), daughter of Jeff and Elise Gruitch and granddaughter of Villager favorite Edie Marks, she had just finished her freshman year at Cherry Creek High School

having earned a varsity letter in fastpitch softball. On December 16, Alex signed a letter of intent to accept an offer to play her college ball at the University of Maine.

That offer was accompanied by a full-ride, four-year scholarship.

Alex told us that she knew from the time she was young, she wanted to play sports. She tried a few different ones, but nothing stuck until she started playing

softball when she was in the third grade. She knew she had found her sport, but she didn’t like the fact that she spent a lot of time waiting to be a part of the game. “I hated not always being in the middle of the play because I wanted to be in the middle of the game,” Alex told us. She soon realized that she wanted to be a pitcher and began working with a private coach to get her skills to a high level. Along

ABOU

THE LAW

BY DONALD PETERSON

Collecting and inventorying the assets of the estate; • Managing the assets of the estate during the probate process; • Paying the bills of the estate, from estate assets; • Making distributions to the heirs or beneficiaries; and • Closing the estate after all of the above responsibilities have been completed.

SEARCH FOR THE WILL

Dear Readers, What are the responsibilities of a Personal Representative?

In my prior article, I advised of the general steps to be taken when someone dies.

If you have been nominated as a Personal Representative (also known as an “Executor”) in a Will, you have the power, before you are appointed by the court, to carry out written instructions of the deceased relating to the body, funeral and burial arrangements. Although you may begin to protect the deceased’s assets, you should not remove or distribute any assets before opening the estate through the court and being appointed by the court, as Personal Representative for the estate.

A Personal Representative has a duty to act impartially in regard to all parties to the estate. As a Personal Representative you are responsible for:

The original Will is usually found in a safe place in the decedent’s home, a safe deposit box, or an attorney’s office. It is also possible that the Will was lodged with the court during the lifetime of the deceased, in which case, search for a Receipt from the court. Under the law, when the original signed Will is found, it is to be lodged within ten days with the probate court in the county where the deceased lived. If you are only able to find a copy of the signed Will, it is still possible to offer it for probate and an attorney can help with this process. If no Will is found, an attorney can also help guide you through the probate process, which is called an intestate proceeding.

ENTERING THE SAFE DEPOSIT BOX

Any person whose name is on the box may enter it at any

time. An heir or beneficiary in a Will can ask the bank to search for the Will, a deed to a burial plot, or burial instructions. A bank representative will open the box in the presence of the heir or beneficiary, to remove any Will that is found. The bank will deliver the Will to the court by certified or registered mail or hand delivery, and you should ask for a copy. After the Will is filed with the court, the person nominated as the Personal Representative can file a Petition or Application with the court, to appoint him or her.

SEARCH FOR OTHER DOCUMENTS

The Personal Representative is the court representative who has authority to search for any important documents, including at the home, office, place of business or any safe deposit boxes of the deceased.

Meeting with an experienced probate attorney, accountant, investment professionals and insurance agents is advised.

What are the four key medical/ estate plan documents you need now?

Many of my clients have asked what are the critical documents needed, particularly in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. Simply being married does not give you the

But if you’re a high earning beneficiary, which makes up about 7 percent of all Medicare recipients, you’ll have to pay more. Medicare surcharges for high earners are based on adjusted gross income from two years earlier, which means that 2021 Part B premiums are determined by 2019 annual income.

If you have a Medicare (Part D) prescription drug plan, the average premium in 2021 will be about $30 per month for most beneficiaries.

legal right to gain access to your spouse’s medical records or make medical decisions on your spouse’s behalf, even in an emergency. To avoid this problem and to help others care for you and to achieve your overall estate planning goals, the following documents create an effective medical/estate plan package: 1. Healthcare Power of Attorney; 2. General Financial Power of Attorney; 3. Advanced Directive for Medical/Surgical Treatment (“Living Will”); and 4. Will (or a Will with a Trust).

Careful medical/estate planning should include preparation and signing of these documents, to accomplish your goals and protect you, both during your lifetime, and at the time of pass-

ing. The Power of Attorney documents allow you to designate those agents whom you authorize to help you on your behalf during your lifetime, and the Will/Trust documents allow you to nominate others to help with your estate after your passing, as well as to identify the beneficiaries and the distributions to them, to accomplish your estate planning goals.

Beneficiaries that fall into any of the high-income categories and have experienced certain life-changing events that have reduced their income since 2019, such as retirement, divorce or the death of a spouse, can contest the surcharge. For more information on how to do this, see “Medicare Premiums: Rules for Higher-Income Beneficiaries” at SSA.gov/benefits/ medicare/medicare-premiums. html.

A Christmas Poem

Joyeux Noël

As the darkness draws upon a misty moonlit night; the amber glow of windows soon becomes alight Chimneys puffing plumes, warming family hearths inside; celebrate feasts of the holidays and traditions of yuletide

Trees dressed resplendent, twinkling lights glisten; flakes of snow descend from heaven, upon them gently christen Bells ring and carolers sing under December's crisp Cold Moon; a dulcet harmony reminiscent of a medieval minstrel's tune Rushing, rushing, rushing, a shopper's hurried haste; every minute priceless, not a single moment to waste But haste is soon abandoned, time now for Christmas cheer; best set out the cookies, for Santa will soon appear Before the night expires, in a Dickens tale we'll delight; the most fabled of all ghost stories, told best by candlelight 'Tis an eve like no other; indeed, of magic and wonder; kisses under the mistletoe and a blissful night's slumber In the morn we'll surely see, two dozen presents or more; the joy of opening gifts from those who we adore It's a time to pause and cherish, summon the innocence of youth; an ephemeral reminiscence; a joyful, wistful sooth A time that reminds us to be humble and kind; empathy, grace, and compassion combined At the most wonderful time of the year, I wish upon thee; A Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a Christmas Merry Good tidings and wishes do certainly foretell; the true spirit of the holidays; to all, Joyeux Noël

A set from “I Love Christmas Movies” attraction, Santa’s elf-sized North Pole workshop allows guests to experience how small elves really are!

Experiencing all things Christmas at Gaylord Rockies

BY VALERIE LEVIER

This year my family had the pleasure of experiencing all things Christmas at Gaylord Rockies. The property is just a short drive from Denver. As you pull up to the resort you immediately feel the sense of Christmas all around you. The front is decorated with larger than life snowflakes and trees that dazzle with beautiful lights. The staff is warm, welcoming and goes above and beyond to make sure your visit exceeds expectations.

The Grand Lodge dons a Christmas tree that takes the breath away. In the lodge, a giant mantle features a roaring fire and stockings hung with care where guests can relax after a day of activities. The holiday schedule is packed with fun! While enjoying LIGHT!, visitors walk through a wonderful interactive light display that changes in conjunction with Colorado’s weather. Many various installations are a part of LIGHT! and you feel the holiday joy as you gaze at millions of twinkling lights in unique forms. My family loved strolling through LIGHT! and immersing ourselves in the ever-changing displays.The pop up exhibit “I Love Christmas Movies” allows guests to enjoy over 13 scenes from well-known holiday films. Children will enjoy the elf-sized room from the movie “Elf” and the train ride from “The Polar Express” where you actually feel like you are on the train to the North Pole. The multi-sensory experience includes the films “Elf” “A Christ-

mas Story” “The Polar Express” “The Year Without Santa Claus” and “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.”

Guests can also enjoy all the activities in Mistletoe Village including Mrs. Claus’ Christmas Traditions, Gingerbread Decorating Corner, Sugary Sweet Story-time and letters to Santa.

We delighted in the fun of Mrs. Claus’ Christmas Traditions as she read “Twas the Night Before Christmas” and led us in the singing of classic holiday songs.

We decorated a gingerbread house complete with icing and candy to culminate our experience in Mistletoe Village!

Outside you can also enjoy the many offerings at Glacier Point where all ages can experience the thrill of snow tubing, ice skating, ice bumper cars and, new this year, the snow merrygo-round. S’mores, cookies and hot drinks are a splendid addition to the outdoor attractions.

Installation at LIGHT! features an eye catching array of stained glass tiles.

Mia and Valerie LeVier pose in the illuminated tunnel of Christmas lights at LIGHT!

I would highly recommend a visit to Gaylord Rockies this winter with friends and family as many of their Christmas activities will continue with Winterfest.

Make sure you plan for Christmas at Gaylord Rockies next year as you look to 2021.

GNOMES

BY PATRICIA (RUBY) LECLAIRE

Are you Gnome for the holidays? Or are you wondering what exactly a gnome is. He is a garden ornament in the form of a bearded man with a pointed hat according to the dictionary, or an ugly person being of a mythical race of very small people said to inhabit parts of Ethiopia and India, or an imaginary being, supposed by the Rosicrucians to inhabit the inner parts of the earth, and to be the guardian of mines and quarries, etc.

The Rosicrucians are a fraternity who, in the beginning of the 15th century, affected an intimate acquaintance with the secrets of nature, and pretended by the study of alchemy and other occult science to be possessed of sundry wonderworking powers.

None of these sound that interesting. But this definition, maybe….

According to Nordicgnome. com, “elves were house gnomes who guarded their homes against evil. If you were good, they were good to you, but if you were bad, they were mischievous elves who would play tricks on you. Some of the tricks they enjoyed playing were giving you nightmares by sitting on your head while you were dreaming, tangling your hair as you slept, making your milk turn sour, and stealing your sausages.”

Not that one either. They are a home trend coming from Scandinavia.

The interest in gnomes really started to grow in 2018 and have popped up everywhere this year. Should we worry about them?

No, they are cute ugly little guys that usually make us smile. Two Decembers ago I gave them to my family and friends and this year I created a quick version for you to make. There does not have to be a holiday to display them, but a reason,

to make you smile.

Supplies needed consist of: 1/6 yard of solid or print fabric As many 1-inch pompoms as gnomes you are making (white, beige, pink, black, whatever color) White card stock circle – 3” 1/6 yard of white fake fur fabric, long length Glue gun and glue Scissors Freezer wrap or parchment paper (for the hat pattern triangle) Pins Poly-fil stuffing for the hat Cord or magnet (to hang if you wish, or leave him laying around in different places to bring a smile) Cut the 3” circle (if you don’t have a protractor, a cup or glass might do).

Cut hat from the fabric. To make your pattern, draw a line 3¾ inches long on the paper, place a dot at 1 7/8 inch and that marks the

half, draw a line 6” up on that dot, run a line up from the beginning of the 3¾ line up to the top of the 6-inch line and then down to the bottom ending of the 3¾-inch line.

Cut your pattern out.

Pin pattern on fabric that is doubled, face up and face down.

Cut the hat.

Hot glue just the long edges of the fabric (still face up and face down), just folding up the one side of the fabric to run the bead of hot glue and then the other, making the hat.

Stuff the hat with a small amount (pinch) of the stuffing to add a poof.

Put hot glue on one third of the circle and the same area on the back of the circle.

Quickly insert that portion into the hat and stuffing and press down.

Cut a square of fur, 3 inches across and two inches down (with the fur also going in the down direction).

Round the side edges of the bottom of the beard.

Glue the beard with hot glue, ½ inch onto the bottom off the hat. Fluff his beard out.

Glue the nose at the center of the TOP of the beard line.

AND NOW YOU HAVE YOUR OWN GNOME! If you have any questions or comments, you can reach out to me at rubyrockstherock@ gmail.com

BOOK REVIEW Introducing a new columnist - Lisa J. Shultz he Villager Newspaper first featured award-winning author Lisa J. Shultz in “Meet an Author Who Grew Up in Cherry Hills Village” on November 26, 2020. We are pleased to bring her on board as a columnist for book reviews. Lisa has averaged reading a book a week for years, and we would like her to share some of her favorites with you. Her reading choices are influenced by several book clubs in which she belongs, research for books she is writing, and whims of the moment.

Here are a few of her favorite reads in 2020.

so vivid that I could transport myself there and see it with my own imagination.

It reminded me of the Little House on the Prairie book series but from a boy's view and written for an adult audience. Reading this treasure puts hardship in perspective.

It also shows resilience and morals worth modeling. I re-

ally enjoyed my time with this book and didn't want it to end.

It will fondly linger in my memory for a long time.

a lot about schizophrenia and have a better concept of the challenges of treatment.

Hearing about the disease from a family was intricately important in making the material readable. Knowing one of the 12 children as an acquaintance made it more interesting as well. I recommend it for those who wish to understand the difficult dynamics of mental illness.

This book by Ann Patchett came out in 2019. It is a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, a New York Times Bestseller and TIME Magazine's 100 MustRead Books of 2019.

The Dutch House is a captivating story about being exiled from home by a stepmother.

As adults, siblings Danny and Maeve cannot overcome or let go of their past banishment. Their relationship and their tie to the house they grew up in is complicated. How they dealt with the key relationships in their lives was interesting to me. I personally have never been thrown out of a house, but I have visited homes I previously lived in before. I could relate to trying to process a life lived in a particular house. For those who enjoy audio books, it was brilliantly read on Audible by Tom Hanks.

High, Wide and Lonesome

This book was written in 1956 by Hal Borland (19001978). I loved being taken back to the early 1900's life on the eastern plains of Colorado through the eyes of a young boy. The writing was excellent with descriptions

KOELBEL LIBRARY

This book was published in 2019

by B.J. Miller and Shoshana Berger.

It was beautifully put together with tasteful illustrations, handy checklists, and no-nonsense language and advice. The first section is entitled Planning Ahead. It fit well with my advoca-

long-standing residents to rediscover and appreciate the rich history of the city. Also perfect for newcomers and tourists. The book is full of fun facts and great lists.

Learn about:

• Art, Culture and Entertainment • Parks, Recreation and Sports • Government and Education • Eating and Drinking Establishments • Famous People • Landmark Buildings and Neighborhoods • History You Can Remember • And much more Lisa worries that COVID shutdowns, homeless camps and boarded up windows will result in another downturn in the vibrance of Denver’s inner city and repel people

The Dutch House

Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American A Beginner’s Guide Family to the End: Practical This book was Advice for Living released in 2020 by Life and Facing Robert Kolker and has received wide Death

acclaim. Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, Time, Slate, Smithsonian, and Amazon. Also, it was selected as Oprah’s Book Club Pick.

This book looks at schizophrenia from a research perspective and from a Colorado family in which 6 of the 12 children got sick. I learned

cy for not leaving a mess behind when you die. The rest of the book discussed dealing with illness, getting help, getting ready for death and what to do after someone dies.

And the resource section at

the back of the book is one of the best I have seen. I have no criticism for this book, and it is timely for this period of a global pandemic.

Ovations.

Lastly, Lisa would like to toot her own horn and mention her latest book, which was published in November of 2020.

Essential Denver: Discovery and Exploration Guide

Essential Denver is fabulous for those born in Denver and

from spending time there. As Lisa rediscovered and wrote about her beloved hometown, she hopes to spark more interest in landmarks, treasures, and history of Denver to ensure the city’s future is strong and vital.

C. Failure to Receive Notice.

A property owner’s failure to receive any Notice of Violation provided for in this Ordinance shall not invalidate any proceedings under this Ordinance.

D. Extension of Time.

B. Administrative Search Warrants. If the Zoning Administrator is denied access to a property which has an accumulation of weeds prohibited under this Ordinance, application for an administrative entry and seizure warrant for the removal of such weeds may be made with the Arapahoe County Court or the Arapahoe County District Court. The Arapahoe County Attorney’s Office shall provide representation of the County in such matter. The application for administrative entry and seizure warrant shall include a sworn affidavit stating the factual basis for such warrant, evidence that the property owner has received notice of the weed violation and has failed to remove the weeds within fifteen (15) days of the date of such notice, a general description of the location of the property in question, and the proposed disposal of such weeds.

The Zoning Administrator shall serve the statement on the property owner by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at the property owner’s address as shown by the Arapahoe County tax rolls, and at the discretion of the Zoning Administrator, any additional address which he or she deems appropriate. The statement shall notify the property owner that weed removal work has been performed pursuant to this Ordinance, state the date the work was performed, the nature of the work performed, and instruct the property owner to pay the statement in full within thirty (30) days of the date set forth therein.

E. Appeals from the Zoning Administrator’s Actions - Assessment of Costs.

At the hearing, the Director shall consider all complaints and objections relating to the statement of costs, may make such modifications as may be deemed equitable and just, or may confirm the statement of costs. The Director’s decision and findings shall be transmitted to the Board of County Commissioners. The Board shall thereupon, by resolution, assess the cost of the work against the real property from which weeds have been removed. The property owner shall be given thirty (30) days to pay the costs after the assessment resolution is adopted.

If the assessment is not paid within such time, the Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners shall certify the amount of assessment due to the Arapahoe County Treasurer.

In the event an appeal is not filed by a property owner and payment of the assessment has not been received, the Zoning Administrator shall submit to the Board of County Commissioners the statement of costs after thirty (30) days have elapsed from the initial billing date. The Board shall thereupon by resolution assess the cost of work against the real property from which weeds have been removed.

PROPERTY A. Collection of Assessment.

Following adoption of the assessment resolution, the Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners shall certify the same to the County Treasurer who shall collect the assessment, together with an additional ten (10) percent penalty for the cost of the collection, in the same manner as other taxes are collected. The laws of this State for assessment and collection of general taxes, including the laws for the sale and redemption of property for taxes, shall apply to the collection of the assessments.

B. Assessment Deemed Lien Priority. Any assessment made pursuant to this Ordinance shall constitute, from the effective date of the assessment resolution, a lien in the several amounts assessed against the real property on which the weeds were removed until paid and shall have priority over all other liens except general taxes and prior special assessments.

A year of change and transformation for the Kempe Foundation After six years of Jon leadership, John Faught Kruljac is stepping down from and John his role as Chief ExecuFaught tive Officer of the Kempe Foundation.

In the new year, he will transition into a new role where he dation is changing leadership, will use his public policy expertise we remain dedicated to working together to achieve a safe and to advocate for legislation on behalf of the Foundation. Long-time healthy future for children.

Kruljac is an accomplished, Kempe advocate Jon Kruljac will step into the role of CEO effective energetic and passionate leader with expertise in strategic planning January 1, 2021. While the Foun-

and philanthropy. Professionally, he has more than 30 years of experience representing public companies in capital markets and investor relations. His history with Kempe dates back to 1991, when he was first introduced to the organization by Walt and Georgia Imhoff. In the 30 years that followed, he has remained involved with Kempe in various capacities.

“I have always cared deeply for children and civic responsibility,” says Kruljac. “The Kempe Foundation is a great marriage of the two and I am honored that my journey

has taken me full circle back to this organization.”

In regard to his predecessor, Kruljac is admiring. “John Faught helped further the Foundation’s reputation as a public policy resource and advocated tirelessly for legislative funding. I am grateful he will remain with us in a public policy role.”

Looking ahead, Kruljac hopes to grow the Foundation’s spheres of influence with the ultimate goal of Kempe Center professionals serving as many children and communities as possible. He is a talented fundraiser and will work hard to ensure Kempe achieves its goals with financial support from

the Foundation.

We are thrilled to welcome Jon Kruljac into the role of CEO in the new year. We are confident that his expertise will build upon Faught’s successes and are grateful for the ongoing commitment of our supporters to making our work possible.

First principles of Constitutionalism

be governed under such and such principles. They have not chosen to be governed or promised to submit upon any other.” In sum, the American people did not ratify a blank check of authority for the government, but rather a Constitution that carefully allocates limited powers that are confined at every turn.

The framers of the Constitution were entitled to believe that one of their most important, and hopefully enduring, achievements was the implementation of the rule of law –the subordination of government to the law--on a daily basis. Stated simply, this principle means that governmental officials have an absolute legal and moral responsibility to obey the Constitution from which they draw their authority and swear an oath to preserve, protect and defend. To disobey is to rebuke the very concept of constitutionalism.

The solemn oath to obey the Constitution was not taken for granted by delegates to the Constitutional Convention. The drafters of the Constitution were not naïve; indeed, many were veterans of their state legislative bodies, colonial assemblies and Congress.

A few were governors; some possessed considerable diplomatic experience. Most, moreover, were keen students of history, which informed their discussions and debates in Philadelphia. Their experience and reading taught them all an important lesson: power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

That history lesson, a universal axiom, reminded the framers that those holding positions in the gov-

ernment that they were creating would, by virtue of their office and the power, attached it, be tempted to abuse their authority for variety of purposes—personal, political and financial. The key question for all those committed to the maintenance of the rule of law was, as Madison asked in Federalist No. 51, how to persuade government

to obey the law.

That was the great challenge in 1787. It remains the great challenge in our time.

SUBMITTED BY ANDY MCKEAN All civics classes should begin with the first principle of American Constitutionalism: Government has only that power granted to it by the Constitution.

As Justice Hugo Black stated in Reid v. Covert in 1957, “The United States is entirely a creature of the Constitution. Its power and authority have no other source. It can only act in accordance with all the limitations imposed by the Constitution.”

This foundational principle, set forth by the legendary Revolutionary War lawyer, James Otis, Jr., in the landmark, Writs of Assistance Case in 1761, charted a distinctly American conception of what constitutes a constitution. Giants of the founding period—George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, among others—followed his path.

As the nation’s first President, Washington was at pains to explain in letters to friends that he sought, more than anything else while in office, to avoid being characterized as a “usurper.”

Washington wrote, “If in the opinion of the People, the distribution or modification of the Constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.”

Hamilton—he of Broadway fame—observed that the branches

of government possessed no authority to alter the Constitution, from which they derive their authority. “An agent,” he wrote, “cannot new model his own commission” and “transfer the legislative power to the executive.”

Madison stated in the Constitutional Convention: “It would be a novel & dangerous doctrine that a Legislature could change the constitution under which it held its existence.”

Concerns among the founders about governmental officials’ acts of usurpation and revision of the constitutional allocation of power, reflect their understanding of the significance of the ratification of the Constitution by the American people. As Madison explained, if the people had not approved the proposed Constitution, it would have been stillborn. But their ratification of it, he declared, “breathed life” into the Constitution. Ratification, that is, approval of the Constitution by the sovereign people, represented the epitome of consent by the governed, which Thomas Jefferson referred to in the Declaration of Independence as an “unalienable right.”

The historic significance of the act of popular ratification of the supreme law of the land, an acknowledgment that the people alone could approve or reject the proposed Constitution, was captured by James Iredell, one of the most acute theorists of the founding generation and a member of the first body of Justices serving on the U.S. Supreme Court: “The people have chosen to

Car ‘Parades of Lights’ connecting residents with family during pandemic On the evenings of Wednesday, December 16 and Thursday, December 17, residents of Someren Glen Life Plan Communities in Centennial and Clermont Park Retirement Communities in Denver were visited by loved ones and staff members in a ‘Parade of Lights’ car parade that circled around each community to bring holiday cheer. Approximately 10 to 15 cars decorated with lights, wreaths, ribbons and bows were viewed by residents looking out their apartment windows and balconies. Since residents aren’t able to go out on traditional holiday lights excursion this season, holiday lights were brought to them.

COVID-19 has limited seniors’ ability to have in-person visits with loved ones. These communities have devised creative ways to increase engagement, including using a cherry-picker to raise family members to 2nd and

3rd floor apartments for window visits and creating safe, socially distanced outdoor meeting spaces. This year’s lighted car parade is an ‘out of the box’ example of connecting residents with family.

2021 Acura TLX makes for sweet music

BY H. THROTTLE AUTOMOTIVE COLUMNIST

The 2021 vehicles just keep getting better and among the best driving 4-door sedans this year is the latest Honda Motor Company’s Acura TLX turbo sports model. This car is a powerhouse of newly designed performance afforded to Honda’s long serving luxury brand Acura, first introduced decades ago to compete with the Lexus line. Compete it does, and this new all-wheel drive TLX with rear wheel drive dominance, wishbone suspension, and a 272 hp,

4-cylinder turbocharged engine is dynamite on wheels.

Don’t try to take larger passengers in the red leatherette back seats as it’s a tight fit with limited leg room. This is a sports car with attractive red and white trimmed power front seats for both driver and passenger.

Three modes welcome the driver; comfort, normal, and sport. I spent my week in the sport mode. Enjoyed the excellent fuel economy of 29 mpg on the freeways, overall average is rated at 24 mpg.

The ten-speed transmission

is controlled by a push button shifter and paddle shift steering wheel controls.

The new 2021 Acura TLX is a modified sports car with 19” shark wheels and a body that looks like an undercover police radar car. The 272-turbo engine and powertrain carry a 6 year/70,000-mile warranty. This Acura has final assembly in Marysville, Ohio.

What fun to enjoy the multitude of safety features that range from adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking, forward collision alerts, lane departure warn-

ing, lane keeping system, and a jam alert for traffic delays.

The smart phone charge pad is also appreciated.

One slight challenge arose. The Acura engineers

outdid themselves with the inboard console computer and controls. Simplicity does not exist with the vast array of system menu controls presented on the screen.

No fault of the car but mastering the many communication and entertainment choices takes time and pride of ownership. What was enjoyed most in electronic pleasures was the Acura ELS studio 3D premium audio system with 17 speakers.

The sound is the best in any auto tested vehicle this past year.

The TLX has ample trunk space with an overhead power/tilt moon roof. The outside mirrors are heated along with the front seats. Somehow in this model they missed a heated steering wheel. But, overall this beauty has every option included in the manufacturer’s suggest retail price of $46,250.

High performance, sleek design and a fabulous sound system make this a great choice for a discerning driver who wants to drive an award-winning sedan. A purring engine and symphony-quality sound await.
