An epic battle between the dark angel Luzbel and sword swinging San Miguel Continued from Page 1

The epic battle between the dark angel Luzbel and the sword swinging San Miguel rages across the Su Teatro stage in Luis Valdez’s retelling of the centuries old folktale La Pastorela, a hilarious holiday show for the entire family. La Pastorela follows the trek of humble shepherds as they

encounter the Angel of the Lord, who announces the birth of the Redeemer in Bethlehem. Embarking on their spiritual journey in search of the Holy Child, the scruffy shepherds find themselves beset by the demonic followers of Luzbel (Lucifer) and Satanas (Satan), who waylay them with obstacles born of their own human frailties.

Traditionally, La Pastorela is a holiday folk drama, but this adaptation, created by the world renowned El Teatro Campesino, is no sleepy drummer-boy version of the nativity: it is a pageant of passion, excitement, action-adventure, booming, heralding music and robust humor that is accessible to all audiences.

MAKES A GREAT GIFT

In the next decade, Denver Water plans to spend about $120 million on treated water storage tank projects, some of which were built in the 1890s, to ensure customers continue to receive high-quality water. The $40 million Ashland Treated Water Reservoir project began last year and will take more than three years to construct. (Photo 1 is of Ashland Reservoir’s roof installation in 1914; Photo 2 (bottom p hoto) shows the 2013 demolition of Ashland Reservoir prior to rebuilding a new reservoir.)

Denver Water sets course for 2014 Board adopts budget focused on multi-year projects to maintain and upgrade aging system

Like utilities across the nation, Denver Water faces the challenge of staying on top of maintenance for its aging system — some of which was built more than 100 years ago — to ensure area residents continue to receive high-quality water and reliable service year-round, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Denver Board of Water Commissioners adopted a budget and rate changes to fund essential repairs and upgrades in 2014.

The 2014 budget is $371 million, which will fund a number of multi-year projects, such as replacing aging pipes and failing underground storage tanks, upgrading water treatment facilities to maintain water quality and meet new regulatory requirements, and rehabilitating Antero Dam. The budget is funded by water rates, bond sales, cash reserves, hydropower sales and fees for new service (tap fees).

Effective January 2014, the budget calls for a rate increase of $1.29 per month on average for Denver residential customers and full-service suburban residential customers using 115,000 gallons annually (the average annual consumption for Denver Water’s service area). The amounts will vary depending upon customer water usage and whether the customer lives in Denver or is served by a suburban distributor under contract with Denver Water.

Customers in Denver tend to use less than 115,000 gallons per year; sub-

urban customers tend to use more.

“We continue to prepare for Colorado’s increasingly extreme and unpredictable weather cycles, which require us to do all we can to make sure our system is even more resilient,” said Jim Lochhead, CEO/ manager of Denver Water. “In response to the dry conditions earlier this year, we prepared financially by reducing our 2013 operating expenses, deferring projects and tapping into our cash reserves to help reduce our costs and balance our finances.

“We adjust our budget and corre-

sponding water rates each fall for the following year after we examine the necessary projects needed to maintain and upgrade our system.”

Denver Water operates and maintains more than 3,000 miles of distribution pipe — enough to stretch from Los Angeles to New York — as well as 19 raw water reservoirs, 22 pump stations and four treatment plants.

“Denver Water’s collection system covers more than 4,000 square miles, and we operate facilities in 13 counties in Colorado,” said Lochhead. “It takes an extensive network of pipes, pump stations, treatment plants, people and more to make sure our customers can turn on the tap and enjoy fresh, clean, safe water every day. We must continue to invest in that system to ensure a secure water supply for the future.”

Under the 2014 budget, rates for Denver Water customers living inside the city would remain among the lowest in the metro area, while rates for Denver Water residential customers in the suburbs would still fall at or below the median among area water providers.

The water department is a public agency funded by water rates and new tap fees, not taxes. Water rates are designed to recover the costs of providing water service — including maintenance of distribution pipes, reservoirs, pump stations and treatment plants — and also encourage efficiency by charging higher prices for increased water use. Most of Denver Water’s annual costs are fixed and do not vary with the amount of water sold.

Williams named U.S. Professor of the Year

The Carnegie Foundation has named Ann Williams, Metropolitan State University of Denver professor of French, one of four “U.S. Professors of the Year” for the Advancement of Teaching and the Ann Williams Council for Advancement and Support of Education. The awards recognize professors for their influence on teaching and commitment to undergraduate students.

Williams, who joined the faculty at MSU Denver in 1990, was chosen as “Outstanding Baccalaureate Colleges Professor.” Judges praised her innovative use of technology in the classroom—such as using Google Earth to teach students cross-cultural competencies that are important to language acquisition.

She received her award at a luncheon at the Ronald Regan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. Williams is one of two Colorado educators to win the awards this year. University of Colorado Boulder physics Professor Steven Pollack also was named a U.S. Professor of the Year, in the “Outstanding Doctoral and Research Universities Professor” category.

“It is an honor to have a member of our faculty be named a U.S. Professor of the Year,” said MSU Denver President Steve Jordan.

The award, now in its 32nd year, is one of the nation’s most prestigious. It is the only national program to recognize excellence in undergraduate teaching and mentoring. The Council for Advancement and Support of Education started the Professors of the Year program with the Carnegie Foundation hosting the final round of judging. The Carnegie Foundation sponsors the cash award given to U.S. national winners.

Williams credits her students for inspiring and energizing her.

“If they weren’t willing and

ready to learn and excited about learning, I don’t think I would be doing what I do,” she said. “Learning and speaking a foreign language is a challenge, and it requires that students set aside some of their preconceived notions. They know I really believe that learning French gives them a new way of thinking about the world and a new way to articulate their thoughts.”

Williams already has many honors for her teaching, including the 2010 MSU Denver Faculty Senate Teaching Excellence Award; the 2008 Colorado Congress of Foreign Language Teachers Kris Wells Memorial Creativity Award; and the 2001 CCFLT/McGraw-Hill/Glencoe Teacher of the Year Award. In 2007, her Advanced Conversation course was selected by the Educational Policy Improvement Center as a College Board Advanced Placement World Languages Best Practices course.

She is the co-author of four college-level French textbooks and accompanying workbooks, lab manuals and instructor’s manuals. She has presented more than 40-refereed papers at regional, national and international conferences, most of which address the teaching of French language, literature and culture. Her articles have appeared in books on contemporary French culture and she regularly reviews books for the national journal The French Review.

Williams has been a consultant for Educational Testing Service since 1991, has worked for Advanced Placement in several capacities, was a member of the Colorado Department of Education Task Force on Standards and has served on the boards of the Colorado Congress of Foreign Language Teachers and the national American Association of Teachers of French.

OPINION

– DENVER –

Take the Broncos this year KINDLING

By Robert Sweeney

State should cash in on sports betting The Broncos win Sunday night was spectacular. I don’t remember ever seeing or hearing a more jubilant stadium of fans before and after the kickoff. We all cheered so loudly the Chiefs were penalized on the first play of the game for a false start because they couldn’t hear the signals.

We stood most of the game, the night air lost its chill early and the game temperature never was a factor for fans or fullbacks. It was a great night for football.

The Las Vegas line was eight

points and the Broncos covered the spread with a 10-point victory so the Broncos won the game and those who bet on the Orange Crush collected winning tickets.

It was quite possible toward the end of the game that the Chiefs would make a score and that would have been a Broncos victory, but a loss for those who put their money where their mouths are in the world of sports betting.

The line on most major games is printed daily in The Denver Post.

Fantasy football is now the big deal in the world of sports and money changing hands.

Colorado should legalize sports betting and make millions on legalized betting. The machinery is in place with the gaming licenses already issued to the gaming establishments that legalized gambling.

Almost all casinos in Las Vegas have on site sport books located on site where daily visitors bet on horse racing, and I think Colorado should do the same.

I have a standing $10 game bet on the Broncos with a local cafe owner that has been ongoing for 20 years. He takes the point spread and I always take

the Broncos. Last year he won slightly and this year I’m about one game ahead – meaning $10 bucks.

The Broncos are such a hot team that the odds makers give a lot of points to their opponents.

It is difficult to win the game and beat the spread; beating the Chiefs will make it worse.

There is also an underworld of sports betting and bookies right here in Denver taking bets. I’m not privy to them and am not interested in any off site betting, but I have known people who have placed bets on major games with individuals.

There is great interest in Colorado in sports and we have folks from other adjoining states that travel to Denver for football, hockey and baseball. The baseball is a great drawing card for Colorado tourism because tickets are almost always available. This year football tickets are expensive and hard to come by for nonseason ticket holders.

Bottom line – many sports fans would spend money betting on sporting events and the state would take a healthy amount of the proceeds right off the top.

Horse and dog track betting has been legal for years, but interest has dwindled in recent time.

But income received from sports betting would be a great source of revenue for those needy children who were deprived of Amendment 66 funds that just went down in flames.

Next year let the folks vote on having legalized sports betting at licensed venues or do it through the legislature and forget the high cost of these special issue election campaigns.

At the moment I can’t think of any reason why the legislature would not expand sports betting rules and venues since we already have legalized racetrack betting.

The betting money is being spent now; the state just isn’t getting any revenue from the fans that know where and how to bet.

When I win, I get a complimentary breakfast.

Many retirees go sit at the betting parlors and get the free drinks and hot dogs while watching the ponies run across America.

This seems harmless enough to me.

Denver Southeast Rotary welcomes 24 new members, reflecting a wide cross-section of professional positions, to the DSE club Nov. 7. New members include Ashley Connell, Drew DeVries, Edward Lobb, Erin McMahon, Jason Ellis, Jon Ungar, Jon White, Kate Cheesbrough, Kelsey Currence, Lauren Hughes, Matthew Billman, Megan McClure, Regan Langel, Ryan Sobel, Sebastian Roesinger, Stephen Brubaker, Steve Young, Victoria Sargent, Katie Keller, Cody Stambaugh, Josh Steck, Carrie Clough, Amy Richardson and Jenn Tilliss.

Denver Southeast Rotary Club expands membership with new satellite club Submitted by DSE Rotary Club The Denver Southeast Rotary Club recently launched the formation of a satellite club, known as DSE Evenings, which is aimed toward attracting young professionals in the Denver south area to Rotary. These young people share the same strong commitment to local and global service to others, as do regular DSE members.

The initiative was championed by DSE’s new President John Hughes when he began his term in July.

As a result of several months of planning and preliminary meetings, 24 new members, reflecting a wide cross-section of professional positions, were formally inducted into the DSE club on Nov. 7.

Many of these new members are

multi-generational Rotarians, so they were directly exposed to the goals of Rotary service as they grew up and participated in family Rotary functions and Rotary youth leadership programs.

The concept of satellite clubs within Rotary is a pilot project of Rotary International.

“Satellite clubs are geared toward attracting younger professionals as a way to promote the Rotary brand, grow membership and inspire a new generation of Rotarian,” said Katie Ehlis, a younger member herself in DSE, and executive with Red Robin.

Ehlis planned the initial meeting programs for interested young professionals and communicated with them using various social media. There were four prelimi-

nary meetings to explain how Rotary works to provide service, fellowship and mentorship as well as general networking opportunities.

“The large number of new members in the satellite club is a positive indicator for all of Rotary that there is a large population of younger professionals who would make ideal Rotarians and are eager to get involved and passionate about service,” Ehlis said.

Craig Sargent, DSE membership chair, facilitated the membership process, which followed standard procedures of a formal application for membership by the candidate, a sponsor within the club endorsing the candidate, and, finally, an interview with a past president of the club. Then, DSE’s

board as well as general membership voted to approve each candidate for membership.

“Processing all of the materials was a bit arduous, but well worth it to add so much energy and excitement to our club membership, not to mention seeing my own daughter (Victoria) become a fourth-generation Rotarian,” Sargent said.

While the DSE Rotary Club currently meets every Thursday morning for breakfast, the new satellite club will meet every other Wednesday evening to accommodate work and family schedules.

Satellite club members are always invited to come to regular DSE meetings and participate in all other club activities. In addition, the satellite club members may

develop and execute their own projects, in which regular DSE members may also participate.

Six new satellite members have been appointed to leadership positions, including Jennifer Tilliss (President), Amy Richardson (VP/ President-Elect), Carolyn Clough (Secretary), Josh Steck (Membership Chair), Cody Stambaugh (Programs Chair), and Katie Keller (Service Chair).

The next meeting is set for Wednesday, Dec. 11, 6:15 – 8 p.m., at Angelo’s Taverna, 630 E. 6th Ave., Denver. More information on the club can be found at www.dseevenings.wordpress.com Questions about the club may be sent to www.dseevenings@gmail. com.

Clayton Kershaw wins 2013 Branch Rickey Award Clayton Kershaw, star pitcher of the Los Angeles Dodgers, received the 2013 Branch Rickey Award during a banquet Nov. 16 at the Marriott City Center Hotel.

Kershaw, who won the National League Cy Young Award, was inducted as the 22nd member of the Baseball Humanitarians Hall of Fame at the banquet presented by AMG National Trust Bank.

Created by the Rotary Club of Denver in 1991, the Branch Rickey Award honors individuals in baseball who contribute unselfishly to their communities and who are strong role models for young people. Each year, the Major League Baseball teams nominate one player from their team for this nationally acclaimed award. All of the nominees personify Rotary International’s motto, “Service Above Self.”

Kershaw was chosen by a National Selection Committee, comprised of 450 members of the sports media, past award winners, baseball executives and Rotary district governors. All 30 Major League teams submitted a nominee for the award.

Kershaw and his wife Ellen founded Kershaw’s Challenge, a foundation that seeks to transform the lives of at-risk children and communities. Their cornerstone charity, “Arise Africa,” has built and sustained an orphanage

in Lusaka, Zambia called “Arise Home.” The orphanage is now home to nine children who came from desperate situations. This year, their goal is to rebuild a community school in the heart of Lusaka, adding five additional classrooms and paying salaries for higher educated faculty. They are also drilling a new water well to bring fresh water to the town. Each year, the Kershaws travel to Africa to visit with the children and bring awareness to the issues of diseases and infections related to HIV and AIDS. In 2012, Clayton and Ellen co-authored Arise: Live Out Your Faith and Dreams on Whatever Field You Find Yourself, a book that chronicles their life together and trips to Africa.

Kershaw’s Challenge is also involved with Sharefest in Los Angeles and Mercy Street in his hometown of Dallas, TX, both of which seek to improve the lives of at-risk youth through after-school programs and sports.

Since 2011, Kershaw has been “Striking Out to Serve,” donating $500 to Kershaw’s Challenge for each batter he strikes out. A three time All-Star, he is led the National League this season with 232 strikeouts. He also led the Major Leagues in ERA at 1.83.

The late Branch Rickey, known to millions as “Mr. Baseball,” is

credited with breaking the color barrier in the Major Leagues in 1945 when he signed Jackie Robinson, the first modern day AfricanAmerican player. He also hired the first Hispanic player, Roberto Clemente, in 1956.

Rickey helped develop the farm system in baseball and stimulated

the sport’s expansion into more cities. Always an advocate for underprivileged children, he spearheaded the development of the famous “Knot Hole Gang,” to allow kids to attend big league games.

The Branch Rickey Award is a replica of The Player,” the 13-foot tall bronze sculpture that stands at

the entrance to Coors Field at 20th & Blake in Denver. It was created by internationally prominent sculptor George Lundeen, and was dedicated on June 2, 2005, in celebration of Rotary International’s Centennial Year.

New Englewood Campus ready for first classes

Phase 1 of the new Englewood Campus, on the site of the former Englewood High School, is finished. Highschoolers are expected to move in before Christmas.

Photos by Peter Jones

High school students to take their seats next month

By Peter Jones School bells are about to ring at the new Englewood Campus.

Phase 1 of the school district’s much-touted combined middle school and high school is complete.

Beginning next month, Englewood High School students will begin utilizing the $44 million state-of-the-art campus. A year later, the district’s middle school students plan to move in.

At that point, the two sets of students will essentially change places.

Seventh and eighth graders will take over the campus’s north end when the high school’s Phase 2 is complete in December 2014. Englewood Leadership Academy, the district’s small school of choice, will also be part of the 238,000-squre-foot campus. A total of about 1,000 students will eventually be in the building.

“It’ll be a little bit messy for the first year,” Englewood Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert said. “The students are very excited. They can’t wait to move in.”

The changes correspond with 100th anniversary of Englewood High School.

Englewood Campus, located at 3800 S. Logan St. on the former EHS site, was the result of a 2011 voterapproved bond sale and a propertytax boost. In addition to funding the new campus, $8 million is going toward renovating the current home of Englewood Middle School, which is slated to become the new location for Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School once the campus is complete.

One of the first things visitors will see when touring the competed portion of the new campus is the spacious and distinctly comfortable “academic atrium,” which was decidedly designed as an appealing hangout for 21st century students.

“It was intentionally built in such a way that we want kids to stay,” Ewert said of the modern, but homey design. “We want kids to be here.

We want them to activate the space.

We want them to congregate before and after school. We wanted to create a Starbucks feel, if you will, for the entire school.”

The campus is similarly eyeing snack-bar sales as a way to keep the campus alluring, and perhaps even hip by some ironic definition.

Likewise, the multi-level cafeteria has eschewed an institutional lunchroom look for – dare we say – the style and quality of a destination restaurant.

And we’re talking good food, ac-

cording to Ewert.

“We expect healthy choices – and choices that kids would like to eat, that look good and are fresh,” the superintendent said.

Adjacent to the cafeteria and kitchen is a fully equipped culinary arts facility.

The new campus also boasts impressive and spacious facilities for science classes, among a host of other state-of-the-art amenities, including a renovated theater and music education areas, and new sports fields.

Much like a college setting, teachers will have an office work area, but will not be assigned to a specific classroom.

“They will teach in two or three different spaces during the day. The reason we did that was to save on square footage, to make sure every classroom is full every single period,” Ewert said.

A special-education area is equipped with a bed, a stove, a washer and a dryer to ensure all students receive the individualized attention they need.

“This is an apartment where kids will learn life skills.” Ewert said.

“You have a kid with severe cognitive delays or physical disabilities, they learn how to take care of a bedroom, how to live and cook.”

EHS officially marked its 100th anniversary on Nov. 16 with alumni tours of the new campus.

RIGHT: The “academic atrium” was built in such a way as to encourage kids to hangout at school, according to Superintendent Brian Ewert.

“We wanted to create a Starbucks feel, if you will, for the entire school,” he said.

BELOW: Englewood Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert tours one of the new state-of-theart science classrooms at the Englewood Campus.

The newly renovated auditorium was preserved from the original high school building.

The new cafeteria will serve healthful and appealing choices.

Englewood Schools’ “relentless” focus on learning was carried on by the construction project, school officials say.

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) Business pressure will be felt during this week. If you feel tensions getting you down, it would be wise to see your doctor and take it easy for a short time. This transit doesn’t indicate poor health, just tension.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22) Business ventures are continuing to get better and better in the sign of LEO. Pay particular attention to small details.

There is a tendency to become forgetful of important matters.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) The chart this week for Capricorn is looking good. There is a strong possibility of marriage coming up for single Capricorn individuals.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) This should work out to be a very good week for Taurus especially in social affairs. Short journeys are favored, and there will be many friends around you to help you enjoy yourself.

Business activities should be good. This doesn’t mean that you are going to set the world on fire, but you will probably enjoy it.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 22) A lot of plain ‘hard word’ is indicated for next week, but this won’t bother you much as your energies are up to it. You may even find that you are enjoying the challenge.

PISCES (Feb 19 – March 20) Everything looks pretty normal in the sign of Pisces at this time, but there is a caution to watch your purse strings. Don’t over spend, no matter how much you feel that you can.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22) Don’t lose sight of your goal. Keep an eye on important plans for the future. There may be much to divert your thoughts from the target. Stay on course and don’t wander.

You will gain a great deal.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21) You will probably enjoy yourself very thoroughly during this period. With no poor aspects to your sun sign, you are given the chance to ‘have a ball’ and yet still attend to business.

A Thanksgiving Trivia Quiz

By Rosemary Fetter Thanksgiving is probably the only American holiday without an agenda. No gift giving, no specific religious or political connections, no fireworks and no costumes.

In this country, Thanksgiving is all about food, family, friends, and for some of us, football. Like our ancestors, we express gratitude for a bountiful harvest and our many blessings, especially frozen turkeys, fresh fruits and vegetables, butter (or some low-cal substitute) and even canned pumpkin pie mix and cranberry sauce.

Add to that modern refrigeration, microwave, convex and electric ovens, food processors and a host of other culinary conveniences, plus the proximity of the nearest grocery store, and we have a range of food choices and cookery that would have amazed our foremothers.

Although most of us know the basics of the Thanksgiving holiday, answers to some of the questions below may come as a surprise. If you got six or more answers correct, treat yourself to an extra piece of pumpkin pie. If you got all of them right, take the whole pie.

Happy Thanksgiving!

ANNOUNCEMENT

Silva-Ubert Wedding

Jose Greg Silva, son of Jophy Devargas (deceased), and Mrs. Esther Silva of Denver, recently wed Ms. Tina Marie Ubert, daughter of Mr. Richard Ubert and Ms. Diane Burnnett, divorced Denver residents. They were married on Nov. 12. The ceremony took place at Absolute Word Christian Church, 2400 California St. in Denver.

The Maid of Honor was Mariah Luna, the bride’s daughter; Matron of Honor was Anne Ubert, bride’s sister-in-law; Bridesmaids were: bride’s daughter Selena Luna; Jodie Medrano, wife of the Best Man; and Denna Lujan, groom’s friend. The two Best Men were friends of the Groom: Carlos Medrano and Shaun Lujan.

Groomsmen were Jerrod Ubert, the bride’s brother and J.C. Luna, the bride’s son.

The flower girl was the groom’s God-daughter Lallani Worsely and the Ring-bearer was Brandon Santana, the groom’s Godson. The reception, hosted by the groom, was held at the Old Spaghetti Factory in downtown Denver. In lieu of an immediate honeymoon, the couple will travel to Puerto Rico in August 2014.

It is interesting to note that the groom, Jose Silva, has been politically active in Denver for 20 years. He is currently a mayoral appointee to Denver Latino Commission plus he is one of five elected young Democrats to the Colorado Young Democrats Executive Board. In addition, Silva is one of the founding board members of Forty Under Forty, an organization comprised of Colorado’s next generation of leaders.

Online records coming to Denver Denver’s huge repository of recorded documents will soon be available online on the Clerk and Recorder website. Clerk and Recorder Debra Johnson will formally unveil a new state-of-theart document recording system in January 2014 that will also offer more options for electronic recording of documents and faster service for e-recordings.

The new system will allow free online searching and access to Denver’s repository of recorded documents. The bulk of

this collection consists of landrelated documents and marriage records, but also contains a variety of other records. A nominal fee will be charged to download a document, with online credit card payment. Initially, the online collection will consist of seven million documents dating back to 1970.

Visit the Denver Clerk and Recorder website, at www.Denver ClerkandRecorder.org, for document search training opportunities.

Holiday lighting is a top trend in seasonal holiday décor.

Make your home shimmer for the holidays Submitted by ALCC Lighting makes any home festive and the process doesn’t have to be complicated. Stand out on the curb. Then look back at your home to see the features in your yard that you could easily light up this season. What might make the most impact with a few strands of lights?

Things to consider

• Trees are already a focal point in the yard, so it’s easy to take advantage of their strong presence by adding lights.

• The roofline with its high pitches and bends creates dramatic interest when outlined in lights.

• Garlands go everywhere.

They’re not just for the family room fireplace. If you have an outdoor fireplace, deck it out with garlands and lights, too. String lighted garlands along the fence line, surrounding porch pillars or around the mailbox post.

• Architectural features like a filigree gate offer unique options to get creative with lights.

• Make it fun and whimsical.

Wrap lights around old skis, a wheelbarrow full of evergreens or create a silhouette around a bicycle frame. Create something fun the neighbors will

enjoy.Lighting shouldn’t be a budget breaker - or a fire hazard.

LED technology makes lighting safer, easier and more energy efficient than traditional lights.

Here are some good reasons to start replacing worn out lights with LEDs: • Safety - LEDs do not get hot like conventional lights to create a fire hazard or scorch plants.

• Durability - If you are on top of a ladder and drop an LED bulb, it most likely won’t break when it hits the concrete. LEDs also last 4-5 times longer than incandescent lights so there are fewer materials used and you replace them less often over time.

• Fewer outlets required - If you’ve ever searched your yard for more outlets or blown a fuse from too many lights on a circuit, LEDs are for you. You can string multiple strands of LEDs end to end and attach them to one extension cord that’s plugged into a single outlet.

• Guilt-free power - No need to worry about energy consumption and power costs. The newest LEDs use about 90 percent less power than conventional lights.

Practical tips for installing holiday lights

• When you place lights along the roof line, make sure you place a bulb at the points of the roof and where right angles form at the corners.

• Tape over the unused plug-in at the very end of the string of lights. Wrap electrical tape over the holes in the plug to prevent moisture from getting inside and possibly creating a short.

• If lighting more than one evergreen tree, wrap the lights in the same direction - such as clockwise - and make the spacing between strands on all trees consistent. This creates a uniform appearance throughout the yard.

• Before taking down the lights, use duct tape and a marker to ID lights on corners and peaks and other critical places in your display. This will save assembly time next year.

• Play it safe. Placing lights on very large trees and along high rooflines may not be the safest DIY project. Trained pros have the equipment and skill to do the work safely - and also the design know-how to make your display a stand-out on the street.

Mile High Holiday Mart set for Nov. 22-24 The 2013 Mile High Holiday Mart, presented by the Junior League of Denver (JLD), is Friday, Nov. 22 - Sunday, Nov. 24, at Denver Marriott Tech Center.
