Two arrested for triple homicide Suspects caught after high speed chase, gunfire

By Vic Vela

vvela@colorado community media.com An Adams County Sheriff’s deputy was shot while taking a homicide suspect into custody on Dec. 12, capping a week of violence that included the loss of three lives.

The officer, a detective who survived the shooting, was arresting Furmen Lee Leyba in north Denver when he was greeted with gunfire. The deputy, whom the sheriff’s office is not identifying, was transported to an area hospital for the treatment of non-life threatening injuries and later released, according to the sheriff’s office.

Sgt. Aaron Pataluna, a sher-

iff’s office spokesman, said the Denver Police Department is handling the case involving the wounded deputy.

“As far as I know it is still an active investigation,” Pataluna said. “We will not know who shot our detective or if the charges will be filed in connection with the shooting until Denver PD completes their investigation.”

Leyba, 30, was taken into custody at the scene.

Law enforcement officers had previously arrested Gabriel Lee Flores, 41, in connection with the Dec. 10 deaths of three men, whom authorities found shot inside a house on Cragmore Street, located in an unincorporated area of Adams County.

The two suspects were formally charged with felony murder on Tuesday.

Authorities arrived at the residence shortly receiving a phone call about the incident, at 7:20 a.m.

Later in the day, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office spotted a black Jeep Wrangler that matched the description of a “be on the lookout” message that had been sent by Adams County authorities.

The driver, allegedly Flores, led authorities on a high-speed chase that began in Golden and ended off C-470, near Morrison.

Both suspects are being held in jail without bond.

Pataluna said no other suspects are being sought at this time.

“Any time you have multiple people lose their lives, it’s an unfortunate event,” Pataluna said. “We never want to see anyone get hurt, especially in the line of duty.”

Legislators from Adams and Jefferson counties made a stop in Westminster to share their goals for the upcoming session during the annual Metro North Chamber of Commerce legislative breakfast.

The Dec. 12 event featured three state senators, Laura Woods SD 19, Beth Martinez-Humenik SD 32, and Mary Hodge SD 25 and nine representatives including: Libby Szabo HD 27, Joe Salazar, HD 31, Dianne Primavera HD 33, Faith Winter HD 35, Tracy Kraft-Tharp HD 29, Dominick Moreno HD 32, Steve Lebsock HD 34, Kevin Priola HD 56 and Lori Saine HD 63.

The breakfast program offered an opportunity for the legislators to discuss their focus during the 2105 session and allowed the audience to ask questions.

As newly elected representatives, Martinez-Humenik, Winter and Lebsock were asked how they plan on bring their experience from the local government level to the capitol. Winter, who previously served on Westminster city council, said she plans on using her experience in working closing with people in her community to her advantage at the state level.

“Coming from local government you take the pot hole calls and the barking dog calls so you really feel connected to your community,” she said. “That sets you up for success in listening to your community and really taking their hopes and Breakfast continues on Page 7

Undocumented woman unbowed, unbroken When she was 11 and caring for four younger brothers and sisters in a rural Mexican town, Rocío Méndez looked into her heart for strength.

When she was 15, hiding in a dumpster from immigration officers in Arizona after walking four days through desert and mountains, she looked into her heart for courage.

Last week, when she completed the last exam needed for her college degree, Rocío, now 22, again looked into her heart. This time, she found happiness.

“Education has always been my heart,” she said. “Education has always been my motivation. It has been my life.”

The passion to learn has been the fire that propelled her through unimaginable adversity — drug-war violence, family tragedy, poverty and hunger — and that lifted her when hope threatened to slip from her grasp.

“Her story is nothing less than a miracle,” her high school teacher Lisa Wille-Racine said. “She was relentless. …

She is relentless. She didn’t ever lose sight of her dream.”

But the dream isn’t finished: It won’t be until she can live and work here legally.

Hope amid tumult

That goal could become reality under a provision in President Obama’s proposed executive order, which includes revisions to the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. DACA, as it is known, excluded Rocío because she arrived here in 2008, one year too late. The Nov. 20 proposal, however, expands the cutoff to 2010 and gives those children a three-year reprieve from deportation and the opportunity to apply for the needed permit to work.

Republicans have threatened to block the president’s immigration action when Congress reconvenes in January. But amid the political tumult, Rocío — who has lobbied with fellow students for the stillunpassed DREAM Act in Washington, D.C. — and Wille-Racine stay optimistic.

Regardless of how one feels about Obama, Wille-Racine said, “at least he sees the richness and the powerfulness and the

THE PRESIDENT’S ACTION

extraordinariness of kids who don’t call their country home any more. These are kids with no country who see the only way to rise above poverty is through education.”

Petite with black hair just beyond her shoulders and a wide but rare smile, Rocío is one of 1.4 million undocumented students in the U.S. brought here by parents who entered illegally. Many, as in Rocío’s case, were searching for a better life. Each year, according to studies, about 65,000 undocumented students graduate from American high schools. But, impeded by financial hardship and lack of legal documentation, fewer than 10,000 enroll in college.

When Rocío graduated — with honors — from a Castle Rock high school in 2010, Colorado did not offer in-state tuition to undocumented students. So, with WilleRacine’s help, she enrolled in New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, New Mexico., where she met criteria for in-state tuition offered also to students in her situation.

Today, 18 states allow in-state tuition rates for undocumented students. Fourteen do so through legislation. The first were California and Texas in 2001; New Mexico did so in 2005; Colorado joined the group in 2013.

Rocío, who has always wanted to be a teacher, remembers sitting in the office at Highlands’ School of Education: “The adviser … told me you can get an education, you can study to be a teacher. At the end, you’re not going to be eligible to teach because you have no legal status.”

The words shattered Rocío. She turned to Wille-Racine, tears in her eyes. “There is nothing for me here,” she said.

On Nov. 20, President Obama announced an executive immigration order to create a program that would allow 4 million to 5 million immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally to apply to work legally — as long as they have no criminal record, have lived in the U.S. for at least five years and have children. They could also qualify to become eligible for Medicare and Social Security.

The executive action also revises the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals by allowing children brought here illegally before 2010 to stay — previously, the year was 2007. It also removes the 30-year-old upper age limit and extends the two-year relief from deportation to three years. Under DACA, anyone with deferred action can apply for a work permit.

To qualify, children must: • Have come to the U.S. before their 16th birthday

Wille-Racine reassured her there would be something. “Politics are changing quickly,” she said. “In four years, we can decide if it was worth it or not.”

Accident changed all To fully understand the price of that leap of faith, you have to go back to the beginning of Rocío’s story.

The family lived in a town of fewer than 500 people about two hours southeast of Mexico City. Her father, who finished two years of elementary school, grew flowers to sell in the city. Her mother, who completed sixth grade, cared for the children.

Tragedy struck when Rocío’s 18-monthold sister was critically injured in a car accident. To provide the best medical care, her father borrowed money and sold everything he could, including the land on which he grew his flowers, to send her to a private hospital. Her sister eventually recovered, but her father could no longer earn enough to support the family.

“You have to have money to pay — if you don’t, that person is going to die,” Rocío said. After two months “we didn’t have any money. In Mexico, we couldn’t survive anymore.”

Her parents crossed the border in 2001

• Have continuously lived in the U.S. since Jan. 1, 2010 • Be in school, have graduated from high school, obtained a GED, or have been honorably discharged from the armed forces • Have not been convicted of a felony or serious misdemeanors The DREAM Act, which Congress still has not passed, is bipartisan legislation that would permit certain immigrant students who have grown up in the U.S. to apply for temporary legal status, and eventually permanent legal status, and become eligible for U.S. citizenship if they attend college or serve in the military. It would apply to most students who came here at age 15 or younger, have lived here continuously at least five years before the bill’s enactment and have no criminal record.

and ended up in Castle Rock, where he worked construction and landscaping and she cleaned hotels and businesses. The children stayed behind with grandparents, but Rocío — beginning at age 11 — essentially became the mom.

She bought groceries, cooked, got them ready for school, talked to teachers about their progress. Most importantly, she said, she kept them safe, including from drug dealers who wanted payments for security.

All the while, she excelled in her studies, winning top prizes in her classes.

“I was so anxious to learn, to know stuff,” she said. “I was happy because going to school was going to make a difference.”

But when it came time for high school, the family didn’t have the money to pay for the better private education in Mexico.

And the culture discouraged girls from continuing school. That included her family.

A teacher recommended Rocío study in the United States. It’s better over there, he said.

“Since that day,” she said, “I want to go to school. I want to go to school. I want to go to school … I didn’t know I was going to walk. I didn’t know it was so dangerous. I just knew I wanted to go to school.”

New subdivision approved at Shoenberg Farms

The city recently approved an Official Development Plan for 52 single-family, detached residential units at the Shoenberg Farms. The 8.5-acre site is on the north side of 73rd Avenue and west of Ames Street. The two-story units will range in size from 1,800 to 2,100 square

feet with front porches and side or rear yards.

They will include 2-car garages with alley access. One model will feature a first floor master suite. Units will front private green areas or public streets. A centrallylocated, 16,500 square-foot private park will be on the site. It will contain benches, a covered picnic area and an open play area. Construction is anticipated early 2015 with the first models available in mid-2015.

13 apply for vacant council seat

A total of 13 Westminster residents have submitted applications to fill an upcoming vacancy on Westminster city council. The candidates are David Ara-

goni, Shannon Bird, Steven Caulk, Maria De Cambra, David DeMott, Chris Dittman, Melanie Flores, Jonathan Herrmann, Katherine Laurienti, Anil Mathai, Steward Mosko, Douglas Pfeiffer and Rachel Vezina. Mayor Pro Tem Faith Winter’s election on Nov. 4 to a seat in the Colorado House of Representatives will create a vacancy when she is sworn in to office on Jan. 7, 2015.

The person chosen to fill the vacancy will fill the balance of Winter’s unexpired term, which will end in November 2015.

The appointment is expected to be made during the Jan. 26, 2015, council meeting. Candidate interviews will take place sometime between Jan. 12 and the Jan. 26 meeting.

Jeffco GOP begins search for Griffin’s replacement Staff Report The vacancy committee for the Jeffco Republican party has begun the process to replace County Commissioner Faye Griffin who won the Nov. 4 election for Jeffco Clerk and Recorder.

Griffin is scheduled to leave her commissioner position halfway through her second term, and start her new position

on Jan. 13, giving the Jeffco GOP a month to find her replacement.

“The Jefferson County Republican Party is prepared to meet Colorado statutory requirements to replace the commissioner and we will work to make the transition as smooth as possible,” said E.V. Leyendecker, Jeffco GOP chairman. “We will complete the process and fill the position within 10 days of her vacancy as county

commissioner.”

Applications to be considered as commissioner for District 1 will be accepted until Monday, Dec. 29.

This is not the first time the vacancy committee has had to step in to find Griffin’s replacement. When elected as county treasurer, she later left the position after two years to pursue her campaign for county commissioner. Republican Tim

Kauffman was selected to fill her remaining term as treasurer.

Interested parties living in District 1 (everything roughly north of State Higway 58) who may want to apply are urged to visit jeffcorepublicans.com for further details.

Donation to support future high school grads

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com Honoring her father in what she believes is the most perfect way, Susan Schaffner made a monetary donation in her father Mike Schaffner’s name to the Rotary Club of Westminster.

The money will go toward scholarships for future high school graduates in Westminster.

“Deep down in my heart I know this is the right thing to do,” Susan said. “I feel honored that I’m able to use some of my dad’s money to carry on his legacy and pay it forward.”

Mike Schaffner passed away on June 7. He was 93 years old and a staple in the Westminster community, as well as a founding member of the Rotary Club of Westminster. He was an entrepreneur and business man opening his first business Mike’s Frontier Gas, in 1949. Later he opened MS Oil in 1955 at 3434 West 72nd Ave., in Westminster, which is now Peerless Tire Company. He owned many businesses before retiring in 1982.

“Mike was very focused and worked hard every single day,” said Sam Forbes, who worked with Mike for 23 years. “He always set a good example and was always fair. He had an incredible work ethic.”

Running successful businesses was

only one of Mike’s passions. The other was education. Susan remembers her father as a man who loved to learn and believed that there was something to learn every day. She and her brother even nicknamed Mike the professor because he was constantly teaching people.

“Even during the week before he passed away, he had a couple visitors who both left saying they learned something from dad that day,” Susan said. “That’s why the scholarships the Rotary club will be able to award through the check donation is the best way to honor my dad.”

Susan presented a check during the Dec. 11 Rotary meeting. Through the club’s Westminster Rotary Foundation, the club will use the money to fund a $4,000 perpetual scholarship to a gradating student from Westminster each year. Other than general Rotary scholarship requirements, any student who plans to attend college can apply.

“I wanted to be open-minded when it came to the scholarship because that is what dad would want,” Susan said. “Instead of making it a business school scholarship or art school scholarship, I wanted to keep it open because dad studied so many things himself. You name a field, and he was interested in it.”

WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL ON THE RECORD Westminster City Council voted on the following legislation during the Dec. 8 meeting. Council members in attendance were Mayor Herb Atchison, Mayor Pro Tem Faith Winter and councilors Alberto Garcia, Bruce Baker, Emma Pinter, Bob Briggs and Anita Seitz.

McKay Lake property becomes city open space

Council unanimously passed Councilor’s Bill No. 41 on first reading annexing the McKay Lake overlook property

into the city, followed by the unanimous passing of Councilor’s Bill No. 42 on first reading approving a Comprehensive Plan amendment for the McKay Lake overlook property changing the designation from Adams County Estate Residential to City Owned Open Space. Council also unanimously passed Councilor’s Bill No. 43 on first reading approving a re-zoning of the property from Adams County A-1 to City of Westminster Open District (O-1).

The McKay Lake overlook property consists of about 8.8 acres and is located

southeast of 144th Avenue and Zuni Street. The property was purchased by the city in 2012 for open space purposes. This property provides a location for a future trail connection to the McKay Lake Trail and expands the existing city open space in the area. The property contains two houses that are scheduled to be demolished in the near future.

Bill passed to enact minor revisions to code provisions

Council unanimously passed Councilor’s Bill No. 44 on first reading making minor clean-up revisions to Title XV, Chapter 1, of the Westminster Municipal Code concerning Purchasing Procedures.

Title XV, Chapter 1, of the W.M.C. guides contracting and purchasing procedures for commodities and services bought by the city of Westminster. Per the city charter, the city council establishes the parameters for the purchase of goods and services, including how and when purchasing authority is delegated by council to the city manager for previously budgeted expenditures.

In September of 2013, significant revisions to these procedures were adopted with the passage of Councilor’s Bill No. 32.

Most notably, the city manager’s purchasing authorization level was increased at that time to $75,000.Those changes took effect on Jan. 1. Given the opportunity to apply and use the new code for most of this year, a few areas that need clean-up have come to staff’s attention. The ordinance enacts those few clean-up items without significantly amending the work that was done in 2013.

cilor’s Bill No. 45 on first reading vacating the existing 91st Avenue right-of-way within the Westminster Center Urban Reinvestment Project (WURP), boundary. The WURP. formerly the home of the Westminster Mall, is bounded by Sheridan Boulevard, 88th Avenue, Harlan Street and 92nd Avenue and is in the early stages of being redeveloped. In 1986, the Westminster Mall was expanded, and a portion of the right-of-way for 91st Avenue was vacated in order to accommodate that expansion. In order to replat the WURP property it is necessary to vacate a remnant piece of that 91st Avenue rightof-way that still exists adjacent to the old Benton Street right-of-way. This vacation is necessary so that this right-of-way will not encumber any of the new blocks that will be developed. All utilities located within this right-of-way are either no longer in use or will be relocated when the new roads for the project are constructed

Grant funds administered

Council unanimously authorized the city to receive and administer the 2015 Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Grant in the amount of $324,768 on behalf of the North Metro Task Force and passed Councilor’s Bill No. 46 on first reading appropriating grant monies to be received from the 2015 Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Grant to the 2015 General Fund budget. Council also authorized the submission of a grant application by the police department to Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area for an amount up to $500,000 for the 2016 grant year to be applied to the operations

Resolution passed for payment to Jefferson County Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 29 authorizing the transfer of $179,315 from the 2014 General Fund contingency account into the Police

Department budget and authorized the city of Westminster to pay $179,315 to Jefferson County for capital costs associated with Foothills Animal Shelter, as required under the existing Intergovernmental Agreement.

In 1996, the city of Westminster entered into an IGA with Foothills Animal Shelter to provide all animal sheltering functions.

Jefferson County, Arvada, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Golden and Westminster entered into a separate IGA in 2007 to build a new animal shelter. Jefferson County funded $3 million and issued $5.2 million in Certificates of Participation.

The remaining $1.5 million was to be raised by the Foothills Animal Shelter

Foundation. In 2009, the participating entities entered into an IGA with Jefferson County to pay any unpaid portion of the $1.5 million pledge from the Foothills Animal Shelter Foundation at the end of five years. In 2013, the FAS Foundation dissolved leaving an unpaid balance of $896,573. The city of Westminster’s portion of the unpaid balance (per the IGA) is $179,315 and by the terms of the IGA is to be paid to Jefferson County by Jan. 1, 2015.

The next council meeting will be 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 22, at City Hall, 4800 W. 92nd Ave. in Westminster.

Quick selected to serve as judge AG candidate will serve in county where he was prosecutor

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Don Quick may have lost the state attorney general’s race in November, but he ended up receiving a pretty nice consolation prize.

The former Adams County district attorney will soon preside over the same courtrooms where he once argued after he received a judicial appointment from Gov.

John Hickenlooper on Dec. 9.

“It’s a great opportunity,” said Quick.

“Serving on the bench has always been an interest of mine, a way to serve the public and still be in the courtroom.”

Quick will fill a bench seat in the 17th Judicial District that is being vacated by retiring Judge Quick Chris Melonakis. Quick will take over judicial duties on Jan. 12.

A judicial commission sent the names of three finalists to Hickenlooper, who ultimately selected Quick “after receiving

broad support from both sides of the aisle and from all parts of the legal community for Don’s application,” the governor said in an emailed statement.

“This support and his extensive legal experience, including as district attorney for the 17th Judicial District itself, makes him the best fit for the job,” Hickenlooper said.

Quick served as Adams County DA from 2005 through 2013, after having held other positions in the office. While serving in Adams County, he brought forth numerous convictions in what is known as the Quality Paving scandal, and he took time to work on increasing graduation rates in

high schools.

Prior to that, Quick served as chief deputy attorney general under former attorney general Ken Salazar.

Quick will serve two years as a divorce court judge, before he rotates to preside over other areas of law that will include civil and criminal justice.

Quick, a Democrat, lost an attorney general’s race to Cynthia Coffman in the fall, in a contest where he recieved numerous endorsements including the Denver Post, Grand Junction Daily Sentinel and Durango Herald.

“I just feel very lucky that I am able to continue public service,” Quick said.

Teen charged as adult in park shooting Staff Report After a deadly shooting at a Westminster park, Israel Maestas, 16, will be charged as an adult with second degree murder.

The shooting happened around 3 p.m. on Dec. 5 at England Park, 3950 W. 72nd Ave. Police found Hector Manuel Castillo,

21, dead on scene from a gunshot wound and Aaron Castillo, 25, wounded from a shot. He was transported to an area hospital.

Police received reports that there was a fight in the park between several people just before the shooting. Police said Maestas and others involved in the disturbance fled the scene. A weapon was located near

the scene.

Both Westminster and Hidden Lake high schools were placed on lock-out as a precaution.

REGIONAL NEWS IN A HURRY Five years on and still going strong

Pot moratorium extended

Colorado Gives Day, an annual statewide philanthropic event, saw an increase in donations on Dec.9. For fifth consecutive year, the statewide philanthropic event surpassed its record, encouraging Colorado residents to donate financially to nonprofit organizations of their choice, within a 24 hour period.

Held Dec. 9, the event saw 107,862 donations made to the 1,677 participating nonprofits throughout the day. Ranging from $10 to $300,000, overall donations totalled approximately $26.2 million, $5.7 million more than in previous years.

Full numbers will be disclosed at the end of the month via www.coloradogives. org.

The Board of County Commissioners unanimously passed a resolution to extend its moratorium on retail marijuana until Jan. 1, 2016. The extended moratorium may be reduced or pushed to an even later date based on the boards discretion.

The decision to move the original date from Feb. 1 2015 to Jan. 1 2016 was due in part to the upcoming legislative session where it is anticipated the Colorado General Assembly will be addressing taxing rights imposed on retail shops by cities and counties. The extension will also give county staff adequate time to draft any preliminary regulations regarding retail marijuana in unincorporated Jeffco.

Jeffco teachers receive compensation update

By Crystal Anderson

canderson@colorado communitymedia.com In November, 5,353 Jeffco teachers received a boost in their compensation — something they haven’t seen in nearly four years.

“My hope would be that new teachers come in … and we look at our current teachers in Jeffco … and say what is our average pay level for that role,” said Board President Ken Witt. “Bring them in recognizing that experience and that education, and now, going forward, their performance will dictate how they move through our system — like any professional.”

The compensation comes following the September decision to step away from the

Presented by the Board President Ken district’s salary schedule pay plan, and follows a new, evaluation based model. A far Witt, the new a compensation model that cry from the original model, the new plan raised the district’s base pay for teachers to still has some missing details, such as how $38,000 and gives highly effective and efto pay for additional work days, advanced fective teachers a stipend based on their degrees and paying for different teacher evaluation rating.

The district paid out 118 stipends totalpositions, outside their contracted job.

“I think the model that’s been put for- ing $190,000 and retroactively paid out (for ward in this district is moving towards teachers who’s salary was below the new quicker acceleration (along the pay scale) base pay level) $1.5 million.

“With our change and how we’re doing if you’re a highly effective teacher,” said it,” Webber said of the movement with the Superintendent Dan McMinimee.

In 2010, Jeffco teachers worked with new performance-based compensation the board of education to place a 3 per- model. “the amount that we’re going to be cent freeze on their salaries, to help keep giving every year, that percentage increase, money flowing into their classrooms.

student achievement, a possible 5 percent promotion standard for educators who take on additional roles, and paying teachers for their advanced credentials a higher, competitive base salary.

Moving forward the board will work with the district to see what the fiscal impact of those recommendations may be and how the district can align compensation to be commensurate with both a teacher’s credentials and experience.

“I’m providing, what I’d consider about a 10,000 foot overview of the teacher compensation plan,” Webber said. “When the new plan was set in place, that really outlines some of the broad guidelines for the THIS FORto$1nail OFF AD plan,BRING but there are COUPON a lot of details down.”

DEC. 20 & 21 Adams 12 seeks funds to address fast growth SAT 9-5 & SUN 10 TH

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com The Five Star school board is contemplating the idea of using certificates of participation, COPs, to fund solutions to school crowding and maintenance issues.

The board discussed the option during the Dec. 10 board meeting.

After a failed $220 million bond issue in November, which would have funded new schools and make major maintenance improvements, the district is left with finding new ways to handle the imminent growth in the district.

Superintendent Chris Gdowski said the schools facing capacity issues are Cotton Creek, Meridian, and Silver Creek elementary schools, Rocky Top, Northglenn, and Westlake middle schools, the International School at Thornton Middle and Legacy High School.

In terms of maintenance and repair issues, Gdowski the most pressing concerns include a roof replacement and sewer line replacement at Horizon High School,

his concern is safety.

“We need to be proactive,” he said.

“This is the only way to go. I like the COP and I’m going to push for it.”

Plomer said she’d like to explore the option of COPs more and thinks it could be a viable option. Jennings agreed with Plomer and said he wanted to look into COPs and how they could be an option to prevent possible maintenance catastrophes.

Director Rico Figueroa did not like the idea of COPs. He said after asking the voters for more funding, and receiving a THIS COUPON FOR $1 OFF A noBRING answer, the board has to respect that, whether they agree with it or not.

dreams to the capitol.”

Lebsock’s response was geared around the need to work closely with other governmental entities. During his time on Thornton City Council he learned the value of intergovernmental agreements and the benefits of working together with other municipalities.

“It’s easy to put the blinders on and only look at what’s best for those you directly serve,” he said. “But the best government comes when you look around and help others succeed.”

Martinez-Humenik, who also served on Thornton city council, said she hopes to bring her experience working with a budget, how to fund capital improvement projects and dealing with residents’ concerns to the state level.

Representatives Moreno and Szabo, who are both in leadership positions at the legislature, were asked what their priorities will be next session. Moreno, who was recently elected to serve as the majority assistant caucus chair, said he will focus on supporting members and ensuring every bill has a fair hearing.

“My priority is making sure we have a fair process and that everyone feels

they have a voice and that their ideas are heard,” he said.

Szabo, who is in her second team serving as assistant minority leader, said she takes her role very seriously to ensure her colleagues have the resources they need to achieve the work and goals of the caucus.

The representatives and senators were asked other questions varying from oil and gas to transportation. When it came to education funding, just two representatives spoke up: Priola and Primavera. After many failed initiatives in Adams County school districts, the question was asked about whether or not school districts in the state would see any funding relief.

Priola discussed the eminent growth in western Adams County and offered an idea surrounding a growth factor.

“Maybe there needs to be something to look at in school finance about a future growth factor,” he said. “There are a lot of things the census can do in terms of projecting the population in the future.”

Primavera brought up the cost of state testing.

“I have met with school board members over the burden of testing and that it really costs a lot of money and whether or not we are getting the biggest bank for our buck,” she said.

The representatives and senators will begin work at the state capitol in early January. For more information on the Colorado legislature, visit www.leg.state.co.us.

GERARD HEALEY President MIKKEL KELLY Publisher and Editor GLENN WALLACE Assistant Editor ASHLEY REIMERS Community Editor VIC VELA State Desk and Legislative Editor

Our lucky number 13 Here they go again! The Westminster City Council has the recruit, interview and select process down pat. Between filling City Councillor Herb Atchison’s vacant seat when he became mayor to selecting a new city attorney to seeking a new city manager to now finding a replacement for departing Mayor Pro Tem Faith Winter, the councillors should know the drill. Winter will be sworn in at the state Legislature on Jan. 7 and the council has 30 days to fill the vacancy.

Thirteen contenders A total of 13 interested Westminster citizens stepped up to throw their hat in the ring for this vacancy. Some names are either repeats from when Anita Seitz was selected or are known to us. Others who are new raise the question — why do you want to get involved in the Westminster City Council? It requires a lot of time to do the job right and you won’t please everyone. The candidates are David Aragoni, Shannon Bird, Steven Caulk, Maria De Cambra, David DeMott, Chris Dittman, Melanie Flores, Jonathan Herrmann, Katherine Laurienti, Anil Mathai, Steward Mosko, Douglas Pfeiffer and Rachel Vezina.

Drop the partisanship Let’s hope there is at least one exceptional individual in the group who appeals to all six members of the interviewing panel — the Westminster City Council.

Hopefully, this person will leave his or her partisan politics at the door. Let’s remember, the City Charter says the City Council will be elected on a nonpartisan basis. And they should be appointed likewise. Let’s

skip the D or R part and focus on substance and philosophy germane to local governance and responding to what the citizens want and expect.

Pointed questions for the candidates

If I had a hand in the selection process, I would have some straight up questions for the 13 candidates and I would expect clear, “don’t ride the fence” responses.

Here is a sample of my questions: • What is your stance on the firefighters’ collective bargaining desire to unionize?

• How would you be able to work with fellow Council members who have opposing views on key issues facing the City?

• What is your assessment of the plan for the “new Westminster downtown” on the former Westminster Mall site?

• What does your business savvy tell you on how much and what types of incentives the City should provide the master developer of the Mall site?

• What price should the developer pay for the land which cost the City approximately $40.0 Million including the demolition of the buildings?

• Will you run for your Council seat in 2015 if appointed to fill out Faith Winter’s term?

• How would you rate City Council’s inclusiveness and how would you suggest making it better?

The City Council has announced that they will be conducting the interviews between Jan. 12 to 26 with the appointment coming at the Jan. 26 City Council meeting. It will be interesting to see how this selection goes compared to the smooth, single vote selection of Councillor Seitz.

Bettering his community This past Thursday, a special presentation took place at the Westminster Noon Rotary Club meeting. It was special in many ways to all of us in the room at the time. Susan Schaffner, the daughter of Mike Schaffner who recently passed to a better place, announced a scholarship in memory of her father.

The Mike Schaffner Memorial Scholarship will be an annual $4,000 scholarship which will be open to students who are Westminster residents or attend a school in Westminster. The scholarship will be administered by the Westminster Noon Rotary Club’s Scholarship Committee headed up by Bill Bowman. Education was a high priority in Mike’s life and he had a special fondness for Rotary and the City of Westminster. What a wonderful tribute to Mike’s preferences and his high ideals.

Thank you Susan as your father continues to better his community.

Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Melissa Williams, Golden

“A child is the best gift you ever give or receive. I’ve got a little girl and a 7-monthold son.”

Michael Ingraham, Arvada

“My love is the best gift.

Having love for my kids and having them love me.”

Shadows and light, making it right I heard this story once: A guy was walking down the street, when he falls in this hole. The hole is deep, the sides are steep and slick, and the guy is stuck.

As he’s looking up, he sees his doctor walk past. He yells up, he says, “Hey, doc!

I’m stuck in this hole here. Can you help me out?” So the doctor scribbles out a prescription on his pad, tosses it down to the guy, and goes on his way.

A few minutes later, the guy’s priest walks by. He yells up, he says, “Hey, Father!

I’m stuck – can you help me out?” So the priest pulls out his Rosary, says a “Hail, Mary,” blesses him, and goes on his way.

A little while later, the guy’s looking up, and he sees his friend walk by. He yells up, he says, “Hey! Can you help me out here?”

So the buddy stops and jumps down in the hole with him. The guy looks at his friend, incredulous, and yells, “You idiot! What are you doing? Now we’re both stuck in this hole!”

And the buddy smiles, and says, “Yeah,

Rocío’s parents had returned to Mexico in 2004 when her grandmother died. A year later, her dad went back to Castle Rock. And in February 2008, her mother decided to rejoin him and bring Rocío and her then-five younger siblings. They tried to get student visas to emigrate legally, Rocío said, but didn’t have enough money.

So, with a guide and Rocío’s uncle, they crossed the border on foot.

Rocío and the adults carried the heaviest of six bags, which held tuna, bread, beans and gallons of water — enough, they thought, for four days. They walked mostly at night and slept under bushes during daylight. They crossed deserts, mountains, highways and ranches. They skirted an airport. They ran out of water on the second day. By the third day, the two men gave up their food portions so the children could eat.

On the fourth day, as the group walked along train tracks near a factory in Arizona, a man saw them and began talking on his phone.

“Ya nos echaron la migra — they’ve called immigration,” her uncle yelled.

“Scatter and run!”

Her uncle covered Rocío’s mother, two sisters and a brother with sand in a nearby dry creek bed. Another brother climbed up a tree. Rocío jumped into a dumpster filled with trash. She heard dogs barking and police talking. She stayed there for hours, until her uncle came for her.

“It was something I hope I never have to live again,” she said.

That evening, they reached a hotel in a town called Guadalupe, south of Phoenix where her father — who in 2010 received a work permit — picked them up. He took them to Wal-Mart to buy food and clothes.

“Oh, my God,” Rocío said, as she wandered through the store. “This is amazing.”

Strange new world

In Castle Rock, Rocío entered school in March as a sophomore — 14 credits transferred from her high school in Mexico.

“The first day I was so scared, I didn’t talk to anyone,” she said. “The only thing I knew how to say was `Hi.’ I was happy to be able to continue my education. I was eating lunch and I told myself, `You have to work hard — this isn’t going to be easy.’”

It wasn’t.

Many days, the frustration of being unable to communicate in English, the struggle academically, the isolation socially, left her in tears. That’s how Wille-Racine met her, crying, huddled in a corner behind a teacher’s desk.

“I saw those little eyes looking at me and I said, `Well, hello,’” Wille-Racine said.

“That moment changed the rest of my life.”

That moment threw Wille-Racine, a Spanish and English as a Second Lan-

but I’ve been here before, and I know the way out.”

Last week I wrote about the importance of making connections with other people.

One of the hardest things to do, I’ve discovered in my short life, is connect with people who are in pain. And, tragically, too often we fall back on easy solutions of medication or platitudes where what people really need is just someone to be beside them for a season.

(Before I go too much further, let me make it clear that I am writing opinions based on experience and observation, not

guage teacher and mother of 15-year-old twins, into an unfamiliar world she would come to know intimately — the limbo and uncharted territory of undocumented students. And Rocío’s determination to succeed in school, despite the unceasing obstacles, moved her deeply.

“She was fierce,” Wille-Racine said. “So I decided to be fierce right along her side.”

When it came time for college, the teacher and the student figured it out as they went: whom to call, where to go, what to do.

On her end, Rocío scrambled to find ways to pay for the education she so desperately wanted. She worked two jobs during summers, including cleaning hotels.

She borrowed money from friends, which she later repaid. She won a $6,000 scholarship. She cleaned and cooked in return for room and food. At times, she gave up food money for tuition money.

Teachers and friends of Wille-Racine also helped by contributing money, clothes, transportation and, sometimes, simply a helping hand.

Whenever an obstacle appeared, WilleRacine would take a deep breath and wait until, she said, God would work some magic.

“I always felt responsible to make something happen,” Wille-Racine said.

“She was just looking to me for all the answers, and half the time I didn’t have them.”

Said Rocío: “Lisa, she always, always had hope.”

research or training. This is just me here.)

I think one of the hardest things to admit in modern society is how flawed we all are. Modern life has forced the instinct to hide our warts to metastasize into a survival mechanism. Either that, or people revel in announcing all their flaws, demanding that the camera remain on them while they bleed for a greedy public (Kardashian who?)

Thing is, we all have our flaws and our warts — not a one of us comes through life unscarred. Which means that every one of us has been in some hole somewhere that we can help somebody else out of. But we have to have the courage to admit to our flaws, and the empathy to notice other people when they’re hurting.

And, for whatever reason, this time of year seems to magnify the depth and darkness of our holes. Ironic that the holiest season of the year is the one that most highlights our own dearth of whole-ness and sinks us into our deepest holes. But, irony aside, I also believe this is a season

with an unmatched capacity to heal — yes, this is the season with the longest nights; but it is also the season in which we meet that darkness with the beauty of Christmas lights.

So, this week, the last one before Christmas, try to take an intentional break from your own hustle and bustle, and look around for holes that once had your name on them. Then, carry your own light down in there and see if you can’t lead somebody out of the darkness. That connection may send ripples out into time that do great good some day.

At the very least, you can push back the darkness for a few moments. And, most days, that’s a fine accomplishment.

unafraid …”

The opportunities that college has provided her, Rocío said, solidified her willingness to step into the open despite possible legal consequences.

“I’m still insecure in this country,” she said. “They can deport me any time. But we have to make a difference. If we are afraid, nothing is going to happen and we will be the same — invisible people living here. If we the students don’t make the change, nobody is going to make it for us.”

She is proud of what she’s accomplished, particularly that she’s set a path for others to follow. Two brothers, also undocumented, are also at Highlands.

“I don’t know how to describe how I feel,” Rocío said. “I just feel special, lucky to go to college, to be the first person in my family to finish high school, to finish college. It makes me feel I should work even more.”

Last spring, her sister Miriam, who graduates from high school in May, wrote this for her high school publication: “My sister, Rocío, is my hero, because when my parents had to come to the United States to work to be able to … buy

what we needed, she was 15 years old.

She took care of me, my sister and two brothers, and she had to go to school, too … When we moved here … a lot of people would tell her she wouldn’t go further in school because she didn’t understand English. But … she never gives up. Now, she is almost done with college.”

On Dec. 12, Rocío received her degree in Spanish with a minor in Native American-Hispano studies. She would like to pursue a master’s in education in curriculum and instruction.

She would like to teach.

But she can’t — she doesn’t have a Social Security number or a work permit.

So she waits. And hopes.

And continues to look into her heart for the truth she has carried with her always: “Education is the only key to success.”

Michael Alcorn is a teacher and writer who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. If you would like to meet him, Michael will be at 40 Weight Coffee on Saturday, Dec. 20, from 9 to noon signing copies of “The Accidental Christmas.”

Blossoming in college

College changed everything for Rocío.

In high school, she’d often felt alone, invisible. At Highlands, she realized there were many people like her — undocumented, fighting to attend college, working two or three jobs just to be able to go to school.

“I found a family,” she said.

That newfound community helped her gain confidence, to believe she could make a difference and give back to a society that had given her so much.

She joined student organizations that worked with immigration issues at local, state and national levels. They trained administrators about immigration laws, provided legal help to students applying for deferred status, protested and lobbied for change, traveled to conferences to educate themselves about undocumented issues in other states.

In November 2013, Rocío traveled to Washington, D.C., with a student organization to lobby for immigration reform.

The group staged a mock Thanksgiving dinner in the early morning hours in front of House Speaker John Boehner’s house to show how the holiday would be sad for children separated from families because of deportation. Then students headed to the Capitol to talk to senators and protest for immigration change.

“I’ve become an activist,” Rocío said.

“I’ve become a fighter for my undocumented community. I’ve become a person

“We’re going to change the way Denver does New Year’s Eve,” said Joe Vostrejs, of the Union Station Alliance. “Union Station is an amazing venue in the heart of the city. We’re planning an exciting night of surprises and a party that really takes it up a notch.”

The Bootlegger Ball will feature live music, a DJ, complimentary drinks and bubbles, a private speakeasy and a countdown to midnight that no other venue can produce.

The Edge hosts world premiere of holiday show

By Clarke Reader

creader@colorado communitymedia.com

T

he holiday season is built on traditions and while those traditions vary from family to family, they make the season.

But what happens when those traditions go under the microscope? Are they really all that important — and if they are, what makes them so?

The Edge Theater asks these very questions in the world premiere of Ellen K. Graham’s holiday comedy “The Familiars.”

The show runs at the theater, 1560 Teller St., through Dec. 28. Performances are Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday Dec. 7, 14 and 21 at 6 p.m. and Sunday Dec. 21 and 28 at 2 p.m. The theater will host an ugly sweater night on Dec. 12.

For several seasons The Edge has celebrated the holidays with the creation of new work, and “The Familiars” follows suit.

“It’s the product of numerous workshops with Angela Astle (the director) and the actors,” Graham said. “It’s all a play on the theme of traditions, which I think is very universal.”

Astle said she asked questions about the holiday traditions and memories of the actors, and Graham was able to use those stories to craft the play and characters.

“This all started because we recognized there’s a lack of unique holiday shows,” Astle said. “The workshopping started about a year-and-a-half ago with all these questions and acting exercises. By the first draft, Ellen was already 85 percent there.”

Graham continued to fine tune the script and while she hasn’t been in attendance in every rehearsal, she has been kept in the loop as the production developed and grew.

“It’s always thrilling to see what the actors, director and designers find,” she said. “Theater is such a collaborative art form and it’s amazing to see the show develop.”

Fashion truck hits street

The family at the center of “The Familiars” is suffering a yuletide conundrum when their holiday traditions are suddenly in jeopardy. Photo by Rachel D. Graham Photography In the show, Honora Burdock (Carol Bloom) is all about holiday traditions: the meticulously staged family photos, the cookie-baking marathons, even the turducken. When Christmas Eve rolls around the family has gathered, but Honora just doesn’t have the spirit she normally does.

Her three children— dutiful but commitment-phobic Kath (Paula Jayne Friedland), people-pleaser and occasional huffer Dom (Augustus Truhn), glamorous and inefficient Chris (Patty Ionoff ) —must step up and fill her role and hilarity ensues as the family tries to move forward.

The show is family friendly and recommended for at least teen aged children.

“The show is completely different for me, but it’s been really enjoyable to do more of a screwball comedy,” Graham said. “It’s also been fun to write for actors that I didn’t know and getting to see how they work together.”

For Astle, “The Familiars” is a chance to tell a different kind of Christmas story — something that can serve as a palette cleanser for those who get overloaded during the holidays.

“It’s very accessible and there’s definitely room in the cannon,” she said.

“It doesn’t get too dark and depress-

ing — it’s a piece everyone can come together and find something human in the family.”

Both Graham and Astle said the production highlights The Edge’s commitment to providing theater-goers with brand new works.

“The Edge has built a reputation on new pieces, and this is still in line with what we do while being a holiday show,” Astle said. “The Edge is the theater for those with an appreciation for something unique.”

Cupcake reaches out

When Kathleen Nevin’s Big Fat Cupcake business was severely hit by the Cherry Creek North construction, she decided

met briefly with collectors on Dec. 11.

Fleetwood said, in an interview in the Arizona Republic, that his father always had a nice camera and shot photos as the family traveled — a practice the musician started himself many years ago, when on the road with the hugely popular band.

Numerous prints accumulated, and a friend in Hawaii suggested he consider exhibiting them.

Fleetwood and bassist John McVie formed the band in 1967, with McVie’s then-wife Christine, a keyboardist/vocalist, joining in 1970. Popularity really expanded in 1974 when Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined on New Year’s Eve. Eventually, Fleetwood’s photographic eye turned to nature as his subject — when

at home in Hawaii or on the way to another concert.

He collected photos of English gardens, before he moved his mother to live near him in Hawaii. “When I take a photo, I am primarily trying to capture a feel and a moment …,” he said.

With some prints, he embellishes them with paint to emphasize shapes or colors.

“I see colors and highlights that I hope the viewer also sees and with my direction, we have some of the photo canvases enhanced with paint and texture to feature those.”

His collection also includes images of the changing scene in Maui, such as an old, rusted truck, abandoned and overgrown by vegetation.

He also said his photos “encompass my

reflections on travel, life’s journey and my sense of self-evaluation as well as the reflection of where we’ve come to and where we might be going.”

In October 2014, his third book, “Play On,” written with Anthony Bozza, was released and the Fleetwood Mac band, with Christine McVie again included, is playing a nationwide, sold-out stadium tour. He has also recently opened a restaurant on Maui. He enjoys his four daughters and two grandkids and also maintains a residence in Los Angeles.

Fleetwood, at 67, is going strong.

“Reflections: the Mick Fleetwood Collection” is exhibited through Dec. 31 at Fascination Street Fine Art, 315 Detroit St., Denver. 303-333-1566.

Here’s what she said: “...We have set up a crowdfunding rewards program with GoFundMe/BigFatCupcake. If you are not aware BFC has been crushed by the re-development of Cherry Creek North.

selects great wines from across America.

“What we are doing is following Mr. Jefferson’s example and allowing every quality wine-producing region in America a place at our table,” said Frost. “Each year we select great wines from across America; the 2014 competition included wines from 25 states.”

The two-day competition, Nov. 20 and 21 in Kansas City, Mo., culminated with the awarding of 38 Jefferson Cup Awards to 11 white wines, 20 red wines and seven dessert wines. Jefferson Cups were awarded to wines made from both Vitis vinifera vines (a European species responsible for wines such as Chardonnay and Merlot) and non-vinifera vines, which flourish in the more extreme climates in the center portion of the United States. Colorado was represented in this top category for the sixth year in a row.

This year, Bookcliff Vineyards took home its fourth Jefferson Cup for its 2013 Malbec and The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey earned its first Jefferson Cup for its 2012 Merlot Reserve. Both Bookcliff Vineyards and The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey were also represented in the 2014 Colo-

rado Governor’s Cup Case for their Malbec and Merlot, respectively. Other Colorado wineries that were invited and garnered awards were Anemoi, Boulder Creek Winery, Canyon Wind Cellars, Grand River Vineyards, and Whitewater Hill Vineyards.

SCHOOL NOTES Student numbers increase at District 50

The number of students attending Adams County School District 50 continues to grow. According to data from the October count, which measures the number of enrolled students in the district, the “head count” increased from 10,101 to 10,161 students. The “funded count” of 9,857 is lower than the “head count” because it measures kindergarten and preschool students who do not receive full funding from the state. The numbers are important because they are a crucial

part of the formula the state of Colorado uses in determining how much money to give each school district.

Brady Mills, chief information officer, said the increase is good news when it come to the budget. Enrollment in Colorado STEM Academy increased from 184 to 264. That increase of 80 students includes the addition of a new seventh grade class. Still, even without the addition of a new grade level, the student population increased by 24 students.

Westminster High School continues to

grow as well. The number of students is 2,456, which is an increase of 68 students.

Sunset Ridge Elementary earns top award

Sunset Ridge Elementary School is a recipient of the 2014 Governor’s Distinguished Improvement Award for showing exceptional student growth over the past year. Principal Roger Vadeen and Superintendent Pam Swanson accepted the award during a ceremony at the Colorado Department of Education headquarters on Tuesday Dec. 2.

Vadeen said it is nice that the effort of the Sunset Ridge teachers and support staff is being recognized because the outstanding staff works very hard and takes great pride in giving our students a first-class education. Sunset Ridge exceeded expectations on state measures of academic growth and met or exceeded expectations on efforts to close academic growth gaps. Sunset Ridge is already rated as one of District 50’s highest performing elementary schools. CDE rates Sunset Ridge as a “Performance” school.

Bench to help youngsters make friends

By Ashley Reimers

areimers@colorado communitymedia.com A group of second-graders at Leroy Elementary School in Northglenn have come together to ensure no student is lonely.

The boys and girls are part of the Buddy Bench Club, which is promoting friendship and kindness through the help of a homemade bench. The students were inspired by an article about a boy named Christian, the founder of the buddy bench program, which encourages students to sit on the bench at school if he or she is need of a friend.

Now the Leroy club will be home to their very own buddy bench.

“We wanted to make the buddy bench because many people don’t have friends at recess and we thought that everybody should have friends,” said second-grader Louis Contat. “So we worked on the project at the after school club ever since.”

Second-grade teacher Briana Williams said originally all of the students wanted to participate. So to narrow down the group, each student was tasked with writing an opinion piece explaining why they wanted to be part of the buddy bench club and 12

were chosen.

Once the club was formed, Williams reached out to students at the Bollman Technical Education Center for help in building the bench. And letters written by the second graders were sent to area businesses asking for donations to help pay for materials to decorate the bench.

“Our school teaches students how to actually solve problems and that’s exactly what our students are doing,” Williams said. “They saw kids without friends as a problem, so they are taking the action to solve it.”

The Buddy Bench Club is also promoting the bench to other grades by hanging flyers that read “Keep Calm Find a Friend” and once complete, will be presenting the bench to the entire school. Eventually the bench will be permanently placed outside for all students to use.

“The reason why the bench is important to me and my friends is because we felt like other kids were really lonely and didn’t have any friends,” said Isaiah Alcaraz. “But now kids can go to the bench to find friends.”

The Buddy Bench Club is still in need of donations for decorations, anyone interested in donating can call 720-972-5460.

JEFFCO BOARD OF EDUCATION ON THE RECORD The Jefferson County Board of Education discussed the following legislation at their Dec. 11 regular business meeting.

Board members in attendance were President Ken Witt, Secretary John Newkirk, Vice President Julie Williams, Second Vice President Lesley Dehlkemper, and Treasurer, Jill Fellman.

Third-grade reading The board of education heard a presentation from four Jeffco principals regarding some of the challenges their schools face regarding the board’s thirdgrade reading goal.

During the presentation, school leaders discussed action steps needed to help

increase student reading achievement and assessment scores. Steps included structured, rigorous reading plans, individualized intervention blocks for students, implementing more professional development, and increase community involvement.

They discussed the needs to have more rigorous reading plans with reading interventionists, teachers, and parents; implementing intervention programs tailored to student needs; having teacher home visits and after school reading clubs to increase student achievement. They also discussed analyzing student data to place students in appropriate programs.

The board asked how to begin implementing successful practices at other

schools throughout the district, what the possible affects of student based budgeting could be and whether or not free full day kindergarten has an impact on reading levels.

McMinimee proposed going into schools on March 2, national Dr. Seuss Day, to share the school board and district’s love for reading with students.

Budget development community survey The board of education heard a presentation around community engagement for the 2015-2016 budget cycle.

During the presentation, staff recommend doing a broad, online survey with eight to 10 questions. Once created, the

survey will be available through a variety of sources including the district website, Chalk Talk, the employee newsletter, The Messenger, Key Communique, social media outlets, employee connection, and through county, city, municipality and chamber websites.

The survey will become available in late January. Along with the survey, the board of education will also host six, 90-minute community meetings on Jan. 22, 24 and 28 at various district locations to hear feedback from constituents.

The next Jeffco Board of Education meeting will be 5:30 p.m., Jan. 15, at the Jefferson County Education Center, 1829 Denver West Drive, Golden.

Activists speak out against Flats burn

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com A U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plan to burn part of Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge to conserve rare plant species has stirred up opposition from residents worried about the possible release of plutonium particles.

“It’s not just a bad idea—it’s reckless,” said Paula Elofson-Gardine, Rocky Flats activist and longtime researcher of Rocky Flats history. She reported an increase in radiation levels in the Denver area with a hand-held Geiger counter, a device that monitors radioactivity, after the Department of Energy burned around 50 acres in the buffer zone in April 2000.

The concern has generated petitions to cancel the burn, which as of Sunday, Dec. 7, collectively had more than 1,500 signatures.

But David Lucas, refuge manager at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is confident the burn will not be harmful to the public and said the real message is about wildfire safety.

“Fire is a natural process that cannot be excluded from the landscape,” he said.

“We are burning to enhance habitat, but also to reduce the risk of wildfire.

It will be the first prescribed burn for the refuge — scheduled in the spring of 2015 — by the wildlife service which manages about 4,750 acres of the refuge out of the approximate 6,550-acre federal property. The burn is mapped for about 701 acres, Lucas said.

“It is believed we will start on the southern boundary near the southwestern corner of the refuge.”

The purpose of the burn is part of the refuge’s Comprehensive Conservation Plan to improve growth of rare plant species in the area as well as reduce the spread of invasive weeds.

The refuge was once the original security buffer of Rocky Flats during its days of operation between 1952 and 1989, where workers used plutonium to build nuclear weapon triggers.

A nearly $7 billion cleanup of the federal property with the approval by the Environmental Protection Agency, were undertaken prior to the land’s transfer to USFWS in 2007, according to the wildlife service website.

Speculation lingers over whether the cleanup was completely successful.

And for many area residents, activity on Rocky Flats — including the refuge — is enough to generate concern. Adding to the worry is the fact that the Rocky Flats Stew-

ardship Council Board of Directors, which oversees of Rocky Flats, opposed the burn proposal on Oct. 27.

“Our opposition rests primarily on two factors,” the council’s motion read. “A burn will cause widespread community concern that will not be sufficiently alleviated through any public education process.”

The council also said the wildlife service has other management options other than the burn.

Arvada City Manager, Mark Deven, received a memo from Rocky Flats Stewardship Council member David Abelson detailing the board’s actions. Weeks later, the Arvada City Council directed Deven to draft a letter in support of Rocky Flats Stewardship Council’s decision.

Deven also notified developers of the burn for the growing Candelas neighborhood that sits adjacent to the refuge.

Petitions to cancel the burn due to the possible release of plutonium particles were authored by LeRoy Moore, former professor and co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Peace & Justice Center, a multiissue advocacy organization that has focused on Rocky Flats for 31 years.

Moore argues the burn will stir up plutonium particles that went beyond the original operational sites at Rocky Flats based on eye witness accounts from former Rocky Flats workers. He added the Department of Energy has not performed enough sampling and fails to realize small amounts of radiation can be harmful.

“It’s a dangerous situation and they are dealing with uncertainty,” Moore said.

Superior resident Michelle GabrieloffParish, and Alesya Casse, whose father helped in the clean-up of Rocky Flats, are helping to raise awareness about the petition, as well as about other concerns over developments near Rocky Flats, through their Facebook page and website; Candelas Glows.

“We know that the site is contaminated, we just don’t know what will be released,” Gabrieloff-Parish said. The wildlife service “is the wrong government agency to handle an ex nuclear Superfund site.”

Opponents of the burn suggest alternative methods to managing the large reserve including livestock grazing and mowing.

Activists like Moore are requesting that Lucas and his staff meet with the public to discuss different options.

But Lucas said different treatments provide results that are not as successful as fire.

That doesn’t appease Elofson-Gardine.

“There are containments out there in the buffer zone,” she said. “If they (the wildlife service) were really about public safety they’d find another alternative.”

Henry, Chair | Adams County Board of Commissioners

The Adams County Commissioners’ Career Expo celebrated its 11th event this November 18, 2014 at the Denver Mart. Annually, since 2005, the Adams County Commissioners’ sponsor this event in an effort to bolster the career development of the county’s future professionals. This year’s event welcomed over 5,700 students from 35 participating middle schools. The event is the longest running of its kind and has been replicated along the Front Range to include Douglas County and Denver Public Schools. Students spend months preparing for the event through role play activities and other in-class career exploration, all with the goal of being prepared to interact with professionals and learn about

career pathways.

Over 450 employers and higher education professionals participated, some of which have been participants every year. The business booths are visual and interactive which help allow the employers to better represent their industry work and speak to students about their respective careers and potential career paths.

Additionally, students are encouraged to use this event to practice professionalism and leadership. Along with dressing in professional attire, each student is given a sheet of personalized business cards to help them network throughout the day. Of the 5,700 students, employers were asked to compile lists of the “Top Students” from the day. Proudly, we announce that 424 students were chosen by employers as demonstrating exemplary professionalism and left a remarkable impression with employers.

Those students listed received praise and recognition from the employers for maintaining conversation, generating thoughtful questions, maintaining eye contact, firm handshakes, professional attire, and preparedness. The expectation for students was to speak with three employers and at least one higher education representative throughout the day. Impressively, some of these students stood out with every employer they spoke with. The asterisks next to the student’s name represent the number of times they were mentioned by multiple employers. We would like to recognize all of these students for standing out among their peers and for preparing for their futures.

School recognition goes to the highest percent of students recognized relative to the total number of that school’s students attending. The four schools with the highest percentage of students named are Meadow Community School (D.1), Stargate Charter School (D. 12), Global Leadership Academy (D.1), and York International (D.1).

Adams County High School Students “Test-Drive” Careers Top students from the county are recognized for their professional engagement with employers from the region At a time when employers are seeking skilled, enthusiastic and motivated new employees but are not certain the most efficient way to find them and students are trying to find a profession that takes advantage of their skills, interests, and talents, Experience 9 to 5®--a program of the Adams County Education consortium now in its sixth year—is helping build that bridge.

Throughout October and November nearly 180 students attended over 390 sessions offered by employers to get first-hand knowledge of what it is like to be a professional in that industry. Students learned the skills and academic proficiency needed to demonstrate the type of work they would do as an entry level professional and the environment in which they would

work. Professionals already in the fields also spoke to the various pathways of success for those interested in following their footsteps. The gracious donation of time and resources of many employers dedicated to helping create the next generation of employees is critical to the success of this program and the success of our students.

Plentiful choices for books as gifts ana)” by Brittni Vega, a tale (with pictures!) of three four-footed best friends and their adventures. It’s absolutely something your dog-lover would beg for.

For the spiritual person on your gift list, “The Grateful Table” by Brenda Knight, foreword by Nina Lesowitz will be an excellent book to wrap up. It’s filled with prayers, graces and thoughts meant for mealtime, but not only. Your giftee will be more than welcome to use it anytime… maybe even right after it’s opened!

Pair it up with “Having the Time of Your Life: Little Lessons to Live By” by Allen Klein, a book of quotations to further enhance joy.

The movie buff on your list will eat up “The Zombie Book: An Encyclopedia of the Living Dead” by Nick Redfern, with Brad Steiger. It’s filled with entries on the genre, including directors, plots, and TV shows. Innocent fun – no. A welcome gruesome gift – absolutely yes! Wrap it up with “The Government UFO Files: The Conspiracy of Cover-Up” by Kevin D. Randle for a gift that creeps on giving.

One more thing for your movie buff: “The Sci-Fi Movie Guide” by Chris Barsanti. It’s packed with SF goodness, facts, and bios, and when you add in a DVD of your favorite oldie-but-a-goodie, you know it’ll be the best thing beneath the

Every year, many, many ideas come to mind to give as gifts.

Why not give a book?

Books never run out of batteries, they don’t have to be turned off before bedtime, and they’re totally calorie-free. Take a look at my suggestions.

GENERAL NON-FICTION

Your connoisseur of cocktails will love opening “Bourbon: A History of the American Spirit” by Dane Huckelbridge.

This book takes a look at this drink that’s older than you think, and uniquely American. Pair it up with a couple of good glasses and “Moonshine Nation” by Mark Spivak. It’s a history of the spirit, and your giftee will absolutely love that it contains party-worthy recipes!

For the lead on the debate team, “Impolite Conversations” by Cora Daniels and John L. Jackson Jr. will be a welcome gift. This discussion on all the things that start an argument in polite circles (race, politics, sex, cash, and God) may poke thoughts or anger; either way, it’s perfect for the person who loves a good, challenging argument. Add “Living with a Wild God” by Barbara Ehrenreich – a nonbeliever’s quest for a higher power – for a debatably perfect gift.

The animal lover on your list will sit up

and beg for “Animal Madness” by Laurel Braitman. It’s a book about how neurotic, anxiety-ridden, misbehaving animals – domestic and otherwise – may hold clues to our own behavior. Pair it up with “Wild Connection” by Jennifer L. Verdolin, a book about animal courtship and how we’re more like them than we know…

And for any dog lover you know, a twopronged book will be just right. First, you’ll want to fetch “Dogs in Cars” by Lara Jo Regan, a pictorial of (you guessed it) very happy dogs in very cool cars. Then add “Shake Puppies” by Carli Davidson, a book filled with pictures of (guessed it again) puppies in the midst of a good soul-fixing shake. For sure, these books made me hug my fur-boys, and they’re double delight for your doggie demands.

I was, by the way, completely, totally charmed by “Harlow & Sage (and Indi-

Weekly Saturday Evening Masses - 5PM

The Ecumenical Catholic Communion offers a wonderful way to celebrate your Catholic faith. We invite you to join us for a rich, familiar Mass, a small caring community and Communion open to all: families, singles, divorced, remarried, gay or straight and non-Catholics. There are five ECC parishes in the metro area including Longmont and Ft. Collins.

The Royal Watcher on your list might like watching back a few hundred years with “How to Ruin a Queen” by Jonathan Beckman. This book is about Marie Antoinette, Louis XVI, their lives and times – but it also focuses on a true crime mystery of missing diamonds. Yep, this book might work for your favorite mystery maven, too. Wrap it up with “The Romanov Sisters” by Helen Rappaport, a book about Russian Tzar Nicholas’ four daughters and the horrifying end of their young lives.

A curious history for those on the go is “Winnebago Nation” by James B. Twitchell. This book examines our love of RVs, campers, and travel, and it includes plenty of old ads and pictures. Wrap it with a

tree.

So there’s a mathematician on your gift list, or someone who loves numbers?

Then look for “Whatever Happened to the Metric System?” by John Bemelmans Barciano. It’s a great account of why we don’t largely use millimeters and centimeters, but why science does and Europeans definitely do. It’ll be a great gift – count on it.

journal and a map for a great gift.

World War II buffs probably have shelves and shelves of books about the War, but here’s an unusual book that might work as a gift this year: “The Dog Who Could Fly” by Damien Lewis, It’s the tale of a two-legged airman and his four-legged co-pilot, a small German shepherd that accompanied his human on many flights and even saved his life.

Pair it with “War Dogs” by Rebecca Frankel, a book filled with tales of four-legged heroes and their fellow (human) soldiers.

For the veteran in your life – or for the historian who studies the Vietnam War, look for “Defiant” by Alvin Townley. It’s the story of eleven POWs held in Hanoi during the war, how they survived, and what happened to them (and their families) in the years since their release.

Historians who also love a little geography in their books will love “Empire’s Crossroads: A History of the Caribbean from Columbus to the Present Day” by Carrie Gibson. It’s a sweeping brick-ofa-book that encompasses the whole area, the countries that have laid claim to it over the years, and the people who live there now.

BIOGRAPHIES and MEMOIRS

Surely, there’s an adrenaline junkie on your list who will relish the chance to read “Alone in Antarctica” by Felicity Aston! This memoir from the first woman to ski across the globe’s southern-most continent all by herself is filled with danger, adventure, and everything armchair daredevils want. Pair it up with “A World of Her Own” by Michael Elsohn Ross, which is absolutely filled with adventure through profiles of 24 women explorers from years ago and today.

If there’s a storyteller on your gift list this year, then “Shake Terribly the Earth”

by Sara Beth Childers might be the best thing you can give. It’s a book filled with tales of the Appalachian Mountains and its people: growing up, knowing your kin, and holding friend-of-a-friend tales up for examination.

Stefani Germanotta. If that name means something to someone on your gift list, then you’ll get a lot of smiles when you give “Lady Gaga: Born to Be Free,” an unauthorized biography by Jake Brown. This book takes a good look at the Lady herself, her fans, her career, and yes, there are pictures inside… Wrap it up with “Benson: The Autobiography”

by George Benson (with Alan Goldsher).

Yep, it’s about (and by) the musician himself – his life, his friends, and his tunes.

You might also want to look for “The Beat of My Own Drum” by Sheila E., which is the story of her life on and offstage, and how she overcame abuse she endured as a child.

For the person who loves compelling memoirs, “The Answer to the Riddle is Me: A Memoir of Amnesia” by David Stuart MacLean could be the best gift ever.

It’sthe story of a man who lost nearly every memory he had and his journey, not only back home to America, but to the life that almost disappeared forever.

Wrap it up with “A Long Way Home” by Saroo Brierley, the story of a child who got lost on a train, the man he became, and his return home – twenty-five years later, all because of a small memory and a website.

The romantic soul on your list will LOVE “Romance is My Day Job” by Patience Bloom. Bloom is an editor at romance-novel giant Harlequin, but she’d never found love herself. She’d given up on it, in fact, until a tiny little chance encounter changed everything. Happy ending? I’m not saying, but it’s a romance, after all, you know…

The art lover on your list will smile enigmatically when opening “Mona Lisa: A Life Discovered” by Dianne Hales. It’s the story of da Vinci’s most famous model, her life, and what life was like when she sat for her portrait.

HEALTH-RELATED BOOKS What do you give to the person who’s going through the trial of her life? You might wrap up “A Breast Cancer Alphabet” by Madhulika Sikka. In here, your friend will find advice, a bit of humor, information from the Been-There, Done-

H oli day w o r s

That crew, and more. Bonus: it’s an easy book to browse.

For the forward thinker on your list, “Cannabis Pharmacy” by Michael Backes may be just the right thing to wrap. This is a book about growing, using, and knowing about medical marijuana, from the plant to the end user and everything in between.

In the wake of the Sandy Hook incident, “The Price of Silence” by Liza Long asks the question that many mothers asked: what if the shooter was my child?

This book takes a look at mental illness in children, from the perspective of a family member, and it’s a fascinating book that could make a stellar gift.

If there’s a First Responder on your gift list, you can’t go wrong when you give “Bulletproof Spirit” by Captain Dan Willis. It’s filled with non-conventional advice, information on staying emotionally strong, and exercises he (or she!) can do to heal and stay well, both in body and in mind. Wrap it up with “The Body Keeps the Score” by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D., a book about how the brain can help the body heal from the aftereffects of trauma.

So you have a deep thinker on your list, and you’re not sure what to give?

Think hard, and consider “The Slaughter” by Ethan Gutmann. In this book, the author tells the story of what he says is a dirty little secret in China – which includes mass murder and more. Warning: it’s not for the faint of heart.

Reading aloud to children from birth The American Academy of Pediatrics believes reading aloud is so important they now recommend families read to infants as a daily fun activity. That’s right. Read from birth.

The group recognizes that an important part of brain development occurs during the first three years of life and that reading aloud to children enhances vocabulary and other important communication skills.

Along with talking and singing, reading increases the number of words that young children hear during their growing years.

Research has shown that children who are read to have heard significantly more words than children who do not have this experience.

Gap begins at 18 months New research suggests this gap begins as early as 18 months of age! It is critical to develop these pre-literacy skills for success in school. The benefits of a real person reading aloud cannot be duplicated with modern digital media.

How do we go about establishing a read-aloud program at home? Hold babies in your lap or snuggle up under the covers.

Read aloud from a variety of children’s books. As they grow, allow children to help turn the pages. Read the words together.

Tell the story from pictures. Ask questions such as: What do you see? What does it remind you of? What do you wonder about?

For a few years you might be asking and answering your own questions. That’s OK. Go to the library and allow very young children to select books that they want to hear from the boxes of durable books with thick pages and bright colorful illustrations.

Choose some that you would like to share with them. Plan to read aloud for at

least 10 minutes twice a day. Just before a nap or bedtime works well. Also take advantage of bath time and riding in the car to sing songs and repeat nursery rhymes together.

What else can we do?

What have other families done? Alice Ozma described her childhood experience of being read to by her father in the book, “The Reading Promise.” They had always enjoyed reading time from early on.

When she was in 4th grade, they made a promise to read aloud together for 100 consecutive nights. When they reached this goal, they decided to go on as long as they could. The streak continued until the day that she left for college. In addition to her academic success, Ozma says many life lessons were shared and many adolescent pitfalls avoided by the bonding they shared through reading. A list of books they read is included.

Gators fall to Erie in boys hoops

By Scott Stocker It was an up-and-down night for Standley Lake when the Gators took on Erie in their first round basketball game in the Boulder Valley Invitational Basketball Tournament. Unfortunately, it ended on a downer.

Erie defeated Standley Lake, 76-62, in their first round game of the tournament, held at Centaurus High School, Dec. 10.

Looking back, though, it wasn’t that bad of game for the Gators trio of Connor Durant, Jeremy Minnick and Eric Turner as all three rolled into double figures.

Minnick got off to a quick start in the first quarter scoring 11 of Standley Lake’s 14 points helping the Gators to a 14-12 lead with 3-minutes, 42-seconds remaining.

However, they would fall behind for good one-minute later when Erie’s Kyle Leahy, who scored the final 13 points in the quarter for the Tigers, hit for his ninth consecutive point on a three-point basket and a 1514 lead.

Leahy’s last four points of the quarter would eventually lead to a 19-14 lead for Erie. From there, the Tigers would never be headed as Leahy would finish the game with 29 points.

Erie was able to build a 58-38 lead heading into the fourth quarter. But, it wasn’t to last as the Gators took a few big bites out of the Tigers with their stout aforementioned trio coming alive.

Standley Lake, coached by Mike Puccio, was able to score the first 15 points of the quarter as they pulled to within five points of Erie, 58-53. Moments later, they still trailed, 60-55.

However, Erie’s Campbell brothers, Andrew and William, and Leahy would help vault the Tigers forward once again, to an eventual 15-point lead, 73-58, with :33-seconds left in the game. Through the final stanza, Turner would score eight points to finish with 14 points.

“I just wanted to work hard,” Turner said.

ERIE 76, STANDLEY LAKE 62 STANDLEY LAKE 14 12 12 24 — 62 ERIE

19 20 19 18 — 76

“When we cut it to five points I thought we could win. I just wanted to take it to the hole and convert. It just didn’t work out for us.”

It was an overall effort by his team in which Puccio felt they could overcome.

“We spotted them that 20 point lead,” Puccio said. “We were lacking hustle and I don’t think the effort was there to start. But, we worked hard in the fourth quarter on our comeback. We just didn’t have enough to finish.”

Minnick pointed out that the game was one of “runs for both teams.”

“YOU JUST can’t let the momentum switch like that,” said Minnick, who scored a team high 19 points. “We just needed better looks at the basket. It’s who moves it big at the end that counts and they did. A good effort at the end, but it just didn’t pay off.”

Added Druant, who scored 17 points, “they got off to a fast start. You don’t get down by 20 points like that and come back.

We were taking nasty shots, but the key was to be aggressive and we were able to come back. It just wasn’t enough.”

Leahy, a 6-4 senior, was pleased with the way Erie handled both ends of the court in fine fashion. And, he enjoyed the way the game got underway.

“We started fast on the opening tip off when Josh (Myers) scored right away,” Leahy said. “It was just that good of a start and that became a key for us. Our defense was stout and we shot well. We just needed to calm down when they came back on us. We were finally able to open back up and overall, we played well all night.”

Mead would go on to win the title in the tournament, beating Erie, 76-63.

Westy wrestlers take home two titles

By Scott Stocker

Westminster’s wrestling team was short on numbers when the Warriors competed in last Saturday’s Denver North Invitational Tournament. Nevertheless they still came through with fine performance among the 16 teams.

Elizabeth scored 170 points to outdistance host Denver North (151.5), Mullen (131.0), Denver West (124.5) and Westminster (123.0). The Cardinals only crowned one champion, Rob Leonard, in the 16team tournament, but the overall effort was more than many expected.

Westminster, coached by Doug Pfeifer, only brought six wrestlers to the tournament, but two came away with titles. Winning for the Warriors was Marcus Martinez (182) and Joe Bryan (132). The team also finished with a runner up, two thirds and a fifth.

Martinez pinned Chatfield’s Tyler Goff in 3 minutes, 43 seconds to improve to 10-2 on the season. He had a bye in the first round, but then advanced to the semifinals, pinning Kennedy’s Michael Salazar in 1:46.

Elizabeth’s Chase Turner fell victim to Martinez, 5-0, thus advancing Martinez to his title match.

“Both of us started tough, but I was the most aggressive and I’m grateful for the win,” Martinez said. “My shots were aggressive through the tournament. I just wanted to go out and do the right things. It was a good outing all the way and I’m quite

pleased with our team performance, despite our size.”

Bryan couldn’t be more happy to be back in the Westminster lineup. He missed the first portions of the season due to injury.

But, what a comeback winning his four tournament matches, concluding with a last second, 5:59 pin, against Adams City’s Kyle Meyers.

In fact, it was Bryan’s fourth consecutive pin of the tournament. He had advanced by pinning Denver West’s Jesse Cruz in the first round (:49), then George Washington’s Myya Bonner in 1:16 in the quarterfinals and Estes Park’s Caden Brown (2:20) in the semifinals.

“I’m 5-0 and just really getting started for the season,” Bryan said. “I’ve tried to work hard on my leg moves out there. Oh gosh!

I just want to do well out there and do well.

I’m so glad to be back.”

Jacob Thomas finished second for Westminster at 195. And, it was a tough loss as he was defeated by Denver West’s Chris Padilla in overtime. But, it seems that he’s becoming used to overtime matches. He had advanced to the finals with a pair of pins following a first round bye.

“I’ve had 10 overtimes through the past year,” said Thomas. “This is the first one for me this season. I just want to go out, wrestle hard and come through successfully. I’m in a tough weight class and it’s going to be an interesting season.”

Pfeifer was pleased with the way his team performed, despite low numbers.

“We only brought the seven wrestlers to the tournament and six have been able to place,” Pfeifer said. “It is a small team, but the boys are working hard and I’m really happy with what they have been able to do so early in the season. We finished strong with our two champions.”

Denver North’s Joshua Shippley was the lone champion for the runner up for the host Vikings, who had advanced three wrestlers into the championship round. Shippley defeated Chatfield’s Blake Kollman, 10-3 for the title at 138-pounds.

Northglenn came through with a pair of second-place finishers, Robert Burger (120) and Elias Fraire (160). Burger was defeated

by Mullen’s Andrew Atencio, 5-4, in their title match, while Fraire was pinned in 1:35

by Ellicott’s Dakota Case.

“This was a very good tournament,” said Burger, who dropped to 10-2 on the season.

“I lost to him before and knew that he was going to be an aggressive opponent. Still, it wasn’t a bad tournament for me.”

Panthers first to pounce Westminster on early-season slide

By Scott Stocker

BOULDER 72, WESTMINSTER 42 WESTMINSTER 9 12 10 11 — 42 BOULDER 25 17 14 16 — 72 Slow starts in any sport are not conducive to producing victories. And it’s certainly slow starts that have hindered the Westminster boys basketball team this early in the season.

Boulder defeated visiting Westminster, 72-42, last Thursday and the Panthers of coach Eric Eisenhard, certainly jumped out to an early lead. The Panthers leaped to a quick 9-0 advantage in the opening minutes and increased the margin to 15-2 with just over three-minutes to play in the quarter. From there, they would take a 25-9 lead into the second quarter.

Boulder improved to 3-2 with the victory while Westminster dropped to 0-5. It certainly hasn’t been the early season the Wolves had hoped for.

“We had five turnovers early and only five players who seemed to be in the game tonight,” said Westminster coach Jim Montijo. “We just didn’t lock head out there, and we didn’t seem to be disciplined. That’s seems to be the story of our season so far.

“Boulder played very well against us,” said Montijo.

“We had our pressed broken and they were able to get under and score against us. We’ve got work to do, that’s for sure.”

Westminster’s Elijah Paculan was the leading scorer in the game with 13 points, while Aaron Bettis was the only other Wolf to reach double-figures with 10. Brian Hogan chipped in nine points and had a reasonable night under the boards.

“It was a rough start, just slow and we couldn’t seem to get the ball in the basket,” said Martinez, a junior.

“We were hurting with not being able to run our break away from them. We just haven’t gotten into the flow this year.”

Hogan had similar thoughts.

“I felt that we didn’t put out a real effort and we didn’t play physical or mentally,” said Hogan, also a junior.

“Every game we want to experience good carma, but it wasn’t there tonight. Defensively, I think we are building. We just need to up our preparation as a team.”

Westminster is certainly a young team with only two seniors on the roster this season. That distinction belongs to Devon Bunton and Alex Martinez. Seven juniors help fill the lineup with only one sophomore, Alex Martinez.

Eisenhard was more than pleased with Boulder’s early effort, one in which he hopes will settle into the Panthers efforts. Overall, a balanced scoring effort was a key, as well as 12 players were able to score for the winners.

“We came out and our defense was able to set the tone for the game,” said Eisenhard. “We got going offensively and got our shots off. I’m happy that we were able to do a lot of different things work on offense and defense and I was excited we were able to make the changes on the court.

“It’s been an interesting start to our season,” Eisenhard continued. “The boys are working hard and I think we’re going to come around. We’ve got some good senior leadership and that’s a plus.”

Morgan Hohlfelder, a senior forward for Boulder, felt the quick start to the game was certainly a plus for the Panthers.

“The first half, we were strong and it was exciting to get started,” said Hohlfelder, who scored 10 points in the game. “We were able to take advantage of their mistakes in the first half and that certainly helped us come out with the win.”

Savoy Carl was the leading scorer for Boulder with 12 points.

“Westminster played us hard, but we had a lot of confidence out there,” Carl said. “We just went out and did what we had to do. Coach wanted to make sure that we played hard on offense and defense and I think we were able to accomplish those goals tonight.”

Gators going toward state

By Scott Stocker Standley Lake is looking to take a big bite out of its wrestling foes this season.

No doubt the Gators, coached by Rich Talmich, have some fine talent that can help accomplish their quest for a high state finish in the Class 4A ranks.

“We just want the kids to come out strong from the wrestling room, study hard in class and go for the good grades,” Talmich said. “We want them to stay 100 percent focused and hold on to their principals. Our work outs have been amazing and they just want to practice hard.”

Standley Lake is led by a solid group of five wrestlers, all whom Talmich feels have good opportunities of reaching state.

Heading the team from the swamp are Dillon Aguilar (170), Jaret Walls (220), Lorenzo Balderas (160), Ryan Wosk (185) and Luka Mova (126).

“We want to feel that we are a family,

be tough, and to also have the boys teach each other,” Talmich said. “We want the kids to be out to win and to work hard when they do suffer defeats. I just want the boys to go for it. I think we’ve been getting better each week and can’t wait for our future meets.”

“Dillon is light for 170-pounds,” Talmich said. “He’s a great leader on the mat and in the wrestling room. He just works so hard and his focus is phenominal. Jaretis the funniest kid on the team. He works hard to set a standard in practice. He’s hilarious, always a smile on his face.”

Aguilar and Walls are high, too, on what they feel Standley Lake can accomplish this season.

“As a team we have strived to work with a lot of confidence and look out for each other and strive to be in shape,” Aguilar, 10-1, said. “I just want to work hard for the team so we can all hold our heads up and work on our conditioning. I think we have a solid team.”

Added Walls, “I think we all still need to work on our techniques and get all our backs up. I think we have a support for each other and that’s a key. It’searly, but I do think that we are going to be able to put together a fines season and get several of us to state.”

Balderas feels this is a team that can come together in a fine fashion. He was hurt last season, but this year he is healthy and as a team captain has such fine motivation for his teammates. He just hopes to stay healthy.

“I think we are becoming unified as a team and we’ve been working hard,” said Balderas, 9-2, this season. “I just want to step up and be a leader and work hard toward that end. There are good things to look forward to, we just have to go out and get the job done.”

Wosk, 10-1 is confident he can have a good year as well as being a team leader.

He is considered soft spoken, but focused on his efforts. Leading by example will be a

key in helping to keep the Gators together as a unit.

“This will be my fourth year and I think we’re going to be pretty good,” Wosk said.

“We just want to put in hard work for the team. A key is go get along with each other and to push to do well.”

Talmich feels that Mova could probably be the most gifted on the team this year.

This is only his second season of wrestling and he has improved to a high degree.

“I feel that we are going to have a good year, “ Mova said. “There is still a lot of work that has to be accomplished by all of us. We still need more focus on our matches. I feel I can do good things for our team.”

Talmich does not feel alone on the mat as the head coach either and is high on the contributions of assistant, Eloy Martinez.

“Eloy is just a blessing to the team,” Talmich said. “This guy is just striving to make the boys better and they are working hard for him, too.”

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A changing situation brings conflicting advice about how to go forward with your holiday plans. Your best bet: Make the decision you feel most comfortable with.

AMENDED APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS AND A PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION, IN ADAMS, ARAPAHOE, DENVER, DOUGLAS, ELBERT, LARIMER, MORGAN AND WELD COUNTIES. 2.

Background and Relationship of the Applicants and Applicants’ Prior Decrees and Pending Cases. 2.1. Background. On December 15, 2009, ACWWA, United, and ECCV entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) to provide for ACWWA’s participation with ECCV and United in an integrated system for the diversion, accretion, collection, storage, transmission, and treatment of their water rights. The integrated system, which is also referred to as the Water Supply Project or the Northern Project, is designed to provide ECCV and ACWWA with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supply for their respective service areas located in Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, Colorado. Maps of ACWWA’s and ECCV’s service areas are attached as Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2, respectively. Pursuant to the IGA, United will provide ACWWA with 4,400 acre-feet of consumptive use water that will be delivered through ECCV’s water delivery facilities for use within ACWWA’s service area.

2.2. Decreed Components of the Water Supply Project. The Water Court has previously decreed various components of the Water Supply Project for ECCV and United’s use: 2.2.1. In Case No. 02CW403, the Water Court approved a plan for augmentation (“ECCV Augmentation Plan”) for ECCV’s Upper Beebe Draw wellfield (“ECCV Well Field”), as described in paragraph 15.1 of that decree.

The ECCV Augmentation Plan allowed for the addition of wells to the augmentation plan and for the use of additional sources of substitute supply to replace the out-ofpriority depletions resulting from pumping the ECCV Well Field. 2.2.2. In Case Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442, the Water Court approved the addition of six (6) wells to the ECCV Well Field, additional sources of replacement water to the ECCV Augmentation Plan approved in Case No. 02CW403, and a recharge project in the Beebe Draw (the “Beebe Draw Recharge Project”). The Water Court also approved a plan for augmentation to replace the outof-priority depletions created by the pumping of wells located on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Augmentation Plan”) and a recharge project on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Recharge Project”). 2.2.3. In Case No. 10CW306, the Water Court approved the ACWWA Augmentation Plan, ACWWA Beebe Draw Recharge Project, ACWWA 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan, and ACWWA 70 Ranch Recharge Project; and amended the ECCV Augmentation Plans decreed in 02CW403 and

02CW403, and a recharge project in the Beebe Draw (the “Beebe Draw Recharge Project”).

In Case Nos. 11CW285 and 09CW283 the Water Court approved the applications of ACWWA (09CW283) and ECCV (11CW285) for the appropriative rights of exchange to assure delivery of water available to ACWWA and ECCV’s for delivery to their service areas. 2.2.5. In Case Nos. 10CW312 and 11CW280, the Water Court approved the applications for a conditional water storage right in United Reservoir No. 3 (ACWWA) and conditional water storage rights in United Reservoir No. 3, Barr Lake, and Gilcrest Reservoir as well as an appropriative right of exchange (ECCV). 2.3. The purpose of this application is to change the use of the decreed water rights associated with shares in the Cache la Poudre Reservoir Company and the New Cache la Poudre Irrigating Company (collectively “Subject Water Rights”) that were acquired by Applicants for use as a source of substitute supply for the ECCV Augmentation Plan decreed in Case No. 02CW403, Beebe Draw Recharge Project, 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan, 70 Ranch Recharge Project, and the South Platte River Exchanges adjudicated in Case Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442. In addition, the subject water rights will be used as a source of substitute supply for the exchanges decreed in Case Nos. 09CW283 and 11CW285, as a source of substitute supply for the plans for augmentation and recharge projects decreed in Case No. 10CW306, and for storage in United Reservoir No. 3, Gilcrest Reservoir, and Barr Lake. 3.
