Thanksgiving Message from Colorado Dept. of Public Health
The Colorado Dept. of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) has issued this Thanksgiving Message – CDPHE-COVID-Letter.pdf (39 downloads) and link for Thanksgiving Do’s and Don’ts. Please think about your plans, and decide if it is really worth the risk of traveling and seeing family members that may be at risk.
The Colorado COVID-19 dial is a tool that allows Colorado to balance the urgent need to contain the virus with the need for localized guidance during the pandemic. “We are adding a new level to the dial in response to out-of-control levels of COVID-19 transmission across the state,” said Jill Hunsaker Ryan, executive director, CDPHE. “Coloradans must take proactive steps to reduce the spread of the virus to protect their families and communities. Wear a mask, avoid in-person interactions with people from outside your household, and wash your hands frequently. If we are not careful now, we risk plunging into the deep end of the dial, where hospitals are not able to serve everyone who needs care, whether they are COVID-19 patients or other types of patients. It’s up to all Coloradans to help our essential health care workers save lives.” The new dial levels, effective Nov. 20, are:
- Level Green – Protect Our Neighbors: for counties that are able to locally contain surges. Most businesses are open with generous capacity limits.
- Level Blue – Caution: for counties with low transmission levels that aren’t quite ready for Protect Our Neighbors. Capacity limits are more permissive than yellow.
- Level Yellow – Concern: the baseline level for counties with elevated transmission levels but stable hospitalizations.
- Level Orange – High Risk: for counties where numbers are going up but not to the point where everything needs to be shut down. The capacity limits are moderate.
- Level Red – Severe Risk: for counties with high levels of transmission, hospitalizations, and positivity rates. Most indoor activities are prohibited or strictly limited, and outdoor activities are encouraged as an alternative. The capacity limits are significant.
- Level Purple – Extreme Risk: for counties where hospital capacity is at extreme risk of being overrun. At this level, all businesses must significantly curtail in person functions and people must stay at home except for necessary activities.

Power Surges and Weather Station update
We have had some power surges in our area and when that happens, it affects our weather station. The camera is working okay but I’ll have to reset and do a little work on the weather station. I appreciate your patience and ask that you give me a few days and hopefully we’ll have it back up by first of next week at the latest. Thank you!
Be Respectful! Turn around at Mailboxes and Garbage Shed
When picking up your mail or taking trash please be respectful of those properties along the road in that area. When you make a U Turn and even slightly go over on to private property it starts to rut out and cause damage to the property owners lot. It doesn’t take much effort to back up using our well maintained roads. Thank you for doing your part in keeping our lots in good condition.
Scholarship Report
Scholarship Fundraising Results – August/September 2020
What an amazing group of caring landowners in our Association! Even though we were denied our usual annual meeting social gathering, many folks stepped up and sent in donations to our scholarship fund. We received $3,913 in donations and sold $220 worth of maps (Thank you Leah), bringing our total to $4,133. That brings our bank balance up to $7,458.71. At the end of August we delivered 39 bottles of spray disinfectant and 2 cases of tissues to the Antonito schools along with a tray of cookies to the teachers and staff with a thank you note from the Sheep Creek Landowners Association thanking them for all they do. Thank you all for making a difference in our community.

Moose siting in Sheep Creek!
How exciting is this? Rhonda Sego snapped these pictures of a moose over by the wetlands area and pond. If you spot him, remember to not get too close! Moose can become agressive if feeling threatened by people or dogs.
